Our Little Island Dream Home with Ferry Included

This was the most relaxing vacation I’ve ever taken. LGI is my new favorite place. Maria was very nice and very easy to deal with. The unit has everything you need. Definitely recommend!

LGI is a piece of paradise and Hideaway Bay Condos are ideally situated. Maria and Jorge’s property was perfect for us. Sadly we gave a 3* for check in as the Ferry and cart situation had issues both for us checking in and checking out. Basically upon arrival on a Saturday arriving at 3:15 for the 4pm ferry there were no carts. But LOTS of people arrived after us and when the ferry returned from the island late, well after 4 with 6 carts it was a mad scramble. The captain did eventually take charge and went by the sign in list to delegate these few carts. Leaving on the next Saturday, we went down to get a cart @7am for the 8am ferry departure and there was only 1 cart! Arrived at the dock at 7:30 with our cart and there were 18 people already signed in on the list but only 2 were present with their cart! Clearly, people take the carts the night before and they go sign in but do not remain at the dock with their carts as per rules?

The property is warmly furnished and maintained with obvious love. The outdoor seating area is a great aspect. The inside is well equipped and furnished. The multistory structure provides a lot of space and opportunity for privacy. The setting is spectacular with breathtaking sunsets. The property owner, Maria, was a wonderful help to us by answering the few questions we had. We hope very much to go back.

Lovely spot both inside and out! Short walk to the beach and the pool. The beach was awesome! Shells, shells and more shells! It was so fun searching for sharks teeth (which becomes easy once you spot one). The outdoor area was wonderful, comfy chairs, ceiling fans and beautiful plants and flowers. Maria was a joy to work with and was quick to help us solve the one little problem we had. Ferry was a blessing and the captains were friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend this condo and LGI if you want total relaxation and beautiful sunsets.

We loved our stay in Little Gasparilla! It was absolutely relaxing in every way! Maria’s condo was just perfect for our group of 4 (2 couples from the Midwest). The condo was decorated so nicely and was truly inviting throughout the entire place. It had great updates in the bathroom as well as newer appliances in the kitchen and laundry. There was even an air fryer in the kitchen, and everything else we needed for all of our meals. One of our favorite spots in the condo was a lovely downstairs open air “hang out” area. We loved the comfortable furniture in this area and spent time relaxing there every day after a wonderful day on the island. Each morning we had breakfast on the cute little screened in porch overlooking a nice greenspace with a slight view of the water. There were amazing Tommy Bahama type beach chairs as well as noodles and such for our beach days. We enjoyed exploring the island, taking a fun 2-hour boat cruise with Captain Willy, walking the beach, and just plain relaxing on the beach. Everyone was so nice on the island…we made so many new friends. Maria was great to work with, and answered all of my questions before booking, and stayed in touch throughout our stay to make sure we had everything we needed. If you’re looking for a true getaway from all the hustle and bustle…. in a little piece of paradise… THIS is your place! Susan from KC

I loved the island. It takes a bit to get used to planning with the ferry. The condo was okay. It was surface clean. The mattresses were very old and worn. The BBQ pit had passed it's usefulness.

The condo and owners are fantastic! We were a little nervous going to a secluded island with our four kids. Maria does a great job. Once we arrived all our worries were put to rest. Our family had an amazing time. This is truly a hidden gem. We'll be back! Just a little longer next time.

We have stayed at the Hideaway three times now, our 1st time with Maria. The amenities are excellent. Kitchen is very well equipped, beds are comfortable, linens and towels are clean and fresh. All kinds of beach gear including a beach cart which saved the day. We hit it perfect, mid 80's sunny and a east winds all week. We will be back, 2 weeks next time.

Beautiful condo. Owners were very nice people.

One of the few places still left in Florida where you can lay back and relax. The owners were very attentive to every detail to make our vacation very pleasant.
