She Sells Seashells
An Exclusive Island Escape

Leave the crowds behind and discover a rare Gulf Coast island experience where breathtaking sunsets, uncrowded beaches, and Old Florida charm come together.

Welcome to She Sells Seashells, a beautifully decorated 2-bedroom, 2-bath Gulf-view townhouse on the unique and enchanting Little Gasparilla Island. Your island adventure begins with a relaxing 5-minute complimentary ferry ride across the water. As you leave the mainland behind, the pace slows, the scenery changes, and you arrive at a peaceful retreat unlike any traditional beach vacation.

Little Gasparilla Island is a special bridgeless barrier island accessible only by boat. With seven miles of uncrowded beaches, no traffic, and no commercial development, the island offers the rare feeling of a private island getaway while still being conveniently accessible.

At She Sells Seashells, you can start each morning with Gulf breezes, spend your days walking the shoreline searching for shells and shark teeth, and end your evenings watching spectacular sunsets from the lanai. Every sunset is unique, creating memories and photographs you will treasure long after your stay.

She Sells Seashells comfortably sleeps up to 6 guests and features:

• Gulf-view 2-bedroom, 2-bath townhouse
• Downstairs primary bedroom with comfortable king bed
• Upstairs loft bedroom with two queen beds
• Fully equipped kitchen and inviting living space
• Beautiful Gulf views and sunset viewing from the lanai
• Beach chairs, beach toys, umbrella, and beach cart provided

Enjoy the Island Lifestyle

The lower covered deck is the perfect place to relax, gather, and enjoy the peaceful island setting. Outdoor amenities include:

• Comfortable outdoor seating
• Hammock for afternoon relaxation
• Beautiful outdoor lighting
• Shell washing station
• Stand-up cooler
• Fan and bug light
• Fold-down bar
• Charcoal grill
• Refreshing outdoor shower after a day at the beach

Easy Island Arrival & Convenience

One of the best parts of Little Gasparilla Island is that you can truly disconnect without giving up convenience.

Your stay includes:

• Complimentary ferry service for guests
• Free gated mainland parking
• Heated community pool
• Community dock access for boats up to 21.5 feet (first come, first served)
• Community grill and smoker access

Once you arrive, getting settled is simple. The ferry landing, the pool, the beach, and She Sells Seashells are all conveniently walkable. A golf cart is not required to enjoy your stay.

For guests who want to explore more of the island at a relaxed pace, golf cart rentals are available. A golf cart is simply an optional way to discover more of the island’s scenic paths, natural surroundings, and hidden treasures beyond the immediate area.

Island Grocery Delivery Service

Enjoy the freedom of island life while making your stay even easier. A private island grocery delivery service is available for guests who would like groceries ready before arrival.

Your groceries can be selected, purchased, and delivered directly to your kitchen at She Sells Seashells before you arrive. Step off the ferry and begin your vacation immediately — no extra shopping trip required.

Whether you need breakfast supplies, family meal ingredients, snacks, or vacation essentials, this convenient service helps make your island escape effortless.

Adventure Awaits

Little Gasparilla Island offers something for every type of traveler. Spend your days exploring, relaxing, and making unforgettable memories:

• Search seven miles of shoreline for beautiful shells, sand dollars, and shark teeth
• Fish from the beach, community dock, or with local fishing guides
• Enjoy kayak rentals and guided eco-tours through peaceful mangrove tunnels
• Explore the waterways with stand-up paddleboard rentals
• Rent a boat nearby for fishing, cruising, and Gulf adventures
• Take scenic boat tours and wildlife excursions
• Enjoy a relaxing tiki boat tour and experience unforgettable sunsets on the water

The island is surrounded by incredible wildlife. Keep your eyes open for dolphins, manatees, sea turtles, gopher tortoises, blue herons, bald eagles, pelicans, and many other coastal birds.

The Perfect Balance of Seclusion and Convenience

Although Little Gasparilla Island feels wonderfully secluded, mainland restaurants and grocery stores are only a short drive away after your ferry crossing. You truly get the best of both worlds — a peaceful island escape with convenient access when you need it.

Please note: Our community continues to recover from recent storms. Some construction activity may be visible in common areas; however, the heated community pool is open and She Sells Seashells is ready to welcome guests.

Come experience the magic of Little Gasparilla Island — where the journey is part of the adventure, the sunsets are unforgettable, and every day feels like a true escape.

She Sells Seashells is more than a vacation rental — it is an invitation to slow down, reconnect, and experience a one-of-a-kind island getaway.

    This was a perfect off-the-beaten-path, quiet, relaxing vacation spot for our family! The beach was absolutely beautiful and not busy, even on spring break! Perfect location with a very short walk to the beach, harbor & pool.

    The condo was amazing. The kitchen was extremely well stocked. The beds were comfortable, but the absolute best part of the condo were the views. I loved watching the sun set on the patio. Of course, proximity to the beach was another positive we loved. Thank you for sharing your space!

    What a perfect little spot to rest and relax! The unit is just as described, clean and well equipped, only a short walk to the beach with unobstructed views of the gulf from the back patio. The ferry service makes this unit easy to access from the mainland. It was a really special place. Enjoyed every minute of our visit.

    This was the perfect location for us! Once we became familiar with the ferry process, and realized that our car was not in a gated lot, and we didn't have to have a parking tag...we were able to relax. We were concerned with the fact that the parking lot did not match the description, we were concerned about being towed. The condo was clean, everything was provided and we could see the ocean from the back porch. The walk to the beach was very peaceful stroll to the beach! Excellent!!!

    The house was well stocked and taken care of. We really appreciated the excess towels and beach toys. The internet access is wonderful. We've never had such good internet on the island. Christine has also been very responsive to messages and easy to work with.

    We had a really nice time at Little Gasparilla Island. Christine’s place was very nice, clean & up to date. The beach was absolutely beautiful! We were a bit surprised of the condition of the community itself…due to hurricane damage from three years ago. I think a golf cart probably should have been provided by the owner just for getting around the community itself. We did way more walking than we thought we would have to do. It is quite a long walk from the ferry boat to the condo & a bit of a walk from the condo to the beach. If you don’t mind walking a lot, again…the condo was very nice & the beach was gorgeous and not crowded at all. I would highly recommend not paying 600 to rent a golf cart for the week from one of the golf cart rental places. One of the owners at this community told us that you won’t be able to even explore the island in a golf cart because of all the damage on the island. Make sure you have everything you need once you get on the ferry boat to go over to the island because there are no stores on the island. Overall, it was a new experience staying on an island, bit we did enjoy it. Thank you Christine for allowing us to rent your beautiful condo.

    Overall this was an amazing stay! My husband, 3 kids (8,10,12) and myself had such a wonderful time. This is clearly a community still in recovery after the hurricanes. The place however was just as pictured. The shuttle process went well to get to the island and the captains were all so friendly. The Hideaway property is still under quite a bit of construction but our specific place was finished. It was clean and everything was perfectly described in the listing. The beds were very comfortable (I am super picky) and the location was unbeatable. The ocean was so beautiful and we couldn’t have asked for better weather or shelling! Christine had everything we would need for the beach from chairs to boogie boards and sand toys. She was also an excellent communicator. The kids all had a blast. We definitely want to come back again! However I will pack less clothes and more sunscreen;) Also get the pizza delivery! It was such a treat! Thank you for everything!

    We appreciated the screened lanai and the bonus space with hammock and chairs under the condo. (The variety of spaces was helpful with combining work, kids, vacation.) The pool was wonderfully warm, and finding numerous shark teeth on the beach a treat. Christine relayed helpful answers to questions including information on mainland grocery and kayak rental. Ferry/skiff captains were friendly as well.
