The condo was very comfortable and provided really quick and easy access to the beach. The beach itself was incredible - delicious water for swimming, amazing and abundant shells and miles of open, unpopulated sand to walk and explore! The pictures and descriptions of the condo and beach are accurate. The sunsets are into the water and spectacular every single night! If you love the beach, the ocean and the quiet of living in it's rhythm, then you will love Lisa and Chris's place. Lisa and Chris were quick to answer questions and ready to be helpful in making our stay wonderful!

Lisa and Chris's place was absolutely wonderful and comfortable. They were great communicators and very responsive. We loved staying at the private and exclusive Little Gasparilla Island. The 10 minute ferry ride was easy and once we got to the island it was easy to get our things to the condo. We got to enjoy a lot of long walks. I've never seen so many seashells on a beach. At dusk we got to see the dolphins and great sunsets. At night we walked the beach with headlamps. Sitting on the decks of the condo we could hear the ocean all day and night. Adventuring on the island, we found Hoots Library. The history of the island is really interesting too. Everyone we met on the island was very nice. This place is definitely paradise. Thanks Lisa and Chris!

• We had a wonderful time at Lisa and Chris’s place, the location was beautiful and they were very responsive. Loved hanging out on the screened in deck in the evening with the sun setting over the water. Check-in and check-out were very easy, we brought our 1-year old and it wasn’t stressful at all. To any others with children, we were able to rent baby items from a place in Englewood (pack-n-play) and have them delivered right to the mainland security gait prior to arrival which saved us any hassle. Beautiful desolate island, would definitely stay here again!

• Best value on the island!! Lisa & Chris’ communication was second to none. Central part of the island and the beach was incredible.
• August 2017
• Paradise! Lisa and Chris's apartment is exactly how they have it pictured. Beach is a 30 second walk down a boardwalk. Beach is gorgeous it is full of shells, sand dollars and even shark teeth on shore!! Sunsets are breathtaking. It was very easy to communicate with Lisa and Chris, they were always very helpful and informative with any questions we had. Little Gasparilla island is a hidden gem perfect for a quiet getaway, Lisa and Chris's place is the perfect home to enjoy the island! We will definitely be back!

Great access to the beach. Quiet beach in September. If you like collecting shells. Lots to pick from. Biggest problem is like of ferry service. We shopped for groceries prior to arrival, therefore we never left the island for our stay
We really enjoyed celebrating our anniversary here!
This was everything we hoped it would be. Uncrowded, beautiful beach. Able to find a spot on the beach every day minus too many people. Condo was great - had everything we needed for our stay. The people we did meet were friendly. Ferry service was good. Marshall and Michael were both welcoming. Would recommend Lock ‘N Key Englewood Beach and Placida Grill for dinner on the mainland. Lisa was always quick to respond to my questions. Very good experience overall and will hopefully be back. Perfect place for a sunset proposal as my boyfriend proposed our second night there. ?
Very nice location for those looking for a relaxing island experience. We previously visited in 2019 and will definitely return. The condo is safe, quiet and comfortable. The owner kept us updated with changes to the ferry service. Easy access to a wonderfully long beach with lots of sea shells and warm gulf water for swimming.
Gorgeous location aside (not to diminish that- wow!), the property was lovely. It was clean, nicely stocked, and comfortable. The hosts were attentive and helpful. Thank you for sharing your slice of paradise! Would love to stay here again.
Everything was good
First time on the island! Loved the peaceful setting. Check in and ferry were easy to use.
We loved our stay in this condo! It is beautifully decorated and clean. The 2 patios, ocean views, and comfy bed were wonderful! No traffic noise and very few people on the beach. Enjoyed relaxing by the pool! It was a pleasure to cook in the well stocked kitchen. I appreciated the host reminding us to get groceries before taking the ferry to the island. (It’s a short walk from the dock to the condo. Less than 5 min.) The ferry runs every day and is easy to schedule. Michael, the Captain sold us some of his fresh snapper and it was DELICIOUS !!! Everyone we met was so friendly! This is a cozy community and we look forward to going again! Chris and Lisa are fantastic hosts! (Beach umbrellas and chairs, boogie boards, kayaks, they think of everything!!!)
Had a lovely stay! We had beautiful views of the ocean. We found tons of shark teeth, shells and sand dollars. Chris and Lisa’s place was clean and had a great supply of everything we needed. We can’t wait to come back! Great hosts. Thank you for everything. -Reavis Family
The place was very clean, beach was wonderfully and surprisingly clean. House was beautifully decorated and Lisa was very nice and responded very quickly to any messages. Loved our stay! Thank you so much. We definitely want to come back :)
Our stay was AMAZING!!! I loved every second of our much needed get away. Being able to wake up every morning on the island was great, we had two patios & a spacious living room to relax in which was very convenient. Everything was immaculate inside the condo, very clean and lot of things to cook with. The only thing is that if you are planning on going please make sure you get groceries for the night before going because the water taxi can be very expensive and there’s no stores on the island! there is one pizza place but it only runs on thursdays fridays & saturdays, we weren’t able to try it but we’ll have to next time. i HIGHLY recommend this place to everyone!
