Located directly in between Sarasota and Ft. Myers on Southwest Florida's Gulf Coast, Little Gasparilla is as close as you can get to Old Florida! There are no paved roads or commercial establishments on the island, only miles of sandy trails flanked by tropical foliage. Take long leisurely walks to explore the beauty of the island. The peaceful, uncrowded beach provides plenty of room for you to bathe in the sun all day, enjoy outstanding shelling, bird watching, swimming, playing with your children, and beautiful water views, but best of all, the brilliant sunsets at the end of each perfect day. There is great fishing to be had in Placida Harbor for Snook, Trout, Redfish, Snapper and more, and in the world famous Boca Grande Pass you can try your hand at Tarpon fishing. Little Gasparilla Island is the ideal place to get away from the mainland madness. Come relax and unwind in a secluded tropical paradise.
LGI is for those seeking a respite from the hectic pace of the mainland and the hassles of everyday life. Escape to Little Gasparilla Island where you can Stay a Week or a Lifetime!

The property was conveniently located right by dock 44. We had awesome communication with the host, who was very accessible and responsive. There were plenty of towels, a fully stocked kitchen with great cooking supplies and plenty of room for us. We had a medical emergency during our visit and the on-island paramedic was quick and responsive. Help arrived swiftly from the mainland to get our loved one the medical care she needed. Would highly recommend!
The home was well prepared and clean. We found everything in working order. Had a bad storm one evening and lost Wi-Fi but that was addressed and resolved swiftly. It was very peaceful and calming just what we needed. Due to the heat wasn't prepared for the dock to feel like a walk across of the football field . Thank goodness it was a short walk to the home. Heat was brutal during our week. We meet nice neighbors and took advantage of family time. Would stay here again as she was an excellent communicator.
This rental was perfect for our Family of 4... Mom, Dad, and two boys 7 and 10. The property is right on the intercostal... easy walking distance from the Bay St Dock (#44). We brought our own boat which was great, there were lots of empty slips in mid-April. The beach is about a 10 minute walk the other direction. If you don't mind bringing your own entertainment... this is the SPOT for you! Be certain to do your research... there are no stores or restaurants on this island.
Great spot on LGI. Located on the bay with an easy walk to the gulf. Would definitely stay again.
Island does require a water taxi so little planning is required but that allows for a very peaceful quiet relax to island. Host a loud day golf cart rental which was very handy to explore the island. The beach is a short walk maybe about two blocks less than five minutes. Property has a screened in porch that overlooks the Bayside which is so great for meals, etc. Property is very close so to the dock , which helps when hauling luggage.
