Fall asleep to the sound of waves and wake to endless Gulf views.

Perched directly on the beach on Little Gasparilla Island, Wasi Mati LGI was thoughtfully designed for guests who want more than just a vacation rental. Here, you'll find the comfort of a luxury stay, the tranquility of a quiet island, and front-row seats to some of the most beautiful sunsets on Florida's Gulf Coast.

Spend your days shelling, fishing, paddleboarding, searching for dolphins and manatees, or simplyenjoying long walks on a beach that often feels nearly deserted. In the evenings, watch the sun sink into the Gulf from one of your three private lanais while the sound of the waves becomes the soundtrack to your stay.

Little Gasparilla Island is one of Florida's few remaining bridgeless barrier islands. There are no cars, stores, traffic lights, high-rises, or crowds—just miles of uncrowded beach, sandy paths, abundant wildlife, and a slower pace of life that feels increasingly rare.

Unlike many island rentals, your stay includes secure gated mainland parking, passenger ferry service, a heated freshwater pool, and on-island trash pickup—allowing you to focus on relaxing rather than logistics.

And wherever you are, the Gulf is always in view. Both primary suites, the living spaces, and even both showers offer uninterrupted water views that keep you connected to the beach throughout your stay.

If you're seeking an elevated, private, and hassle-free island experience, you've just found your new home away from home.

    We loved everything about our stay. The location and home away from home was perfect! The water was beautiful and the ferry back and fourth was easy to communicate with. Captain Michael was the best. Kristin is wonderful. She was available when needed and made the check in and out process so easy. Her recommendation on who to use for grocery delivery worked out perfect and helped our first night to go smooth. We will definitely be back

    The unit is beautiful, clean, with great views. The bridgeless island is not for everyone- a unique experience of quiet, old Florida. No cars, crowds, stores, or restaurants, and miles of often empty beach. The private ferry runs every hour during the day to enjoy the local restaurants and activities on the mainland. Kristin was a very responsive host.

    This condo was recently renovated and the owners have excellent taste. The master bedroom was so comfortable we asked about where it was purchased so we could get this bed for home. Kristin was very easy to work with and answered all our question promptly and thoroughly. Her app of the condo/island was very helpful for information like the ferry schedule, golf cart rentals and local restaurants. You can literally see the Gulf from every room in the Condo and we enjoyed manners from the lanai overlooking the beach. We will rent either this condo or the owners second condo in Placida Beach on one of our next beach vacations.

    Stayed at this beautiful place in March. Was perfect! Beautifully and comfortably decorated. Well stocked with everything you might need. Kristin thinks of everything to make your stay easy and enjoyable. She is not just the owner with renters instead you feel like you are a guest in her home. She makes you feel so welcome. Cant wait to come back next year !

    We loved this rental! Kristin was super helpful from start to finish! It was very clean and comfortable, with a stunning view of Gulf sunsets and dolphins, and both the beach and pool were close and convenient. It was a VERY warm pool! One thing we were not savvy about was the direct impact of the weather on our plans- the wind and fog impacted two of our outing days (we were stranded on the island for the whole day) and we were lucky to have a bit of flexibility and one of our excursions that gave us grace, otherwise we would've lost money due to the ferry being unable to run. This brought about more planning (and some stress). But, overall, the ferry was a fun adventure for our family and we loved the quiet nature of the beach and long beach walks. HIGHLY Recommend!!

    We absolutely loved our stay! This is the perfect combination of beach access, pool access, privacy, and nature. The home is beautifully, clean, and very well appointed -- you'll feel just like you're at home. We forgot a few things and appreciated a few extra toiletries provided. The laundry is a bonus as well so you can pack light and wash clothing as needed. From watching dolphins, manatees, birds, turtles, lizards to beach combing for shark's teeth and sand dollars, this spot in SWFL has it all. Perfection! We also appreciated the very clear communication from the host so we knew exactly what to expect, and when! Best communication from a host thus far. You won't regret booking this spot, it's A

    Everything was as described. The host, Kristin, was more than accommodating. She even saved our dinner one night by dropping off some things we forgot. If you’re looking for somewhere to just relax, this is the place. Just note, there is some planning ahead involved due to the ferry. All in all, we would definitely stay again.

    Beautiful condo—spotless, modern, and fully stocked with everything you’d need for a comfortable stay. It truly felt like a home away from home. The bedding was soft, the towels were great quality, and the living space was cozy and inviting. LGI is always a wonderful getaway, and having a relaxing place to stay makes all the difference—this condo did not disappoint.That said, there are a few things to be aware of that are outside the homeowner’s control, mostly due to recent hurricane impacts. If you’ve stayed on the island before, you know getting there isn’t always easy, and this trip was a bit more complicated than usual. Guests at the condo currently aren’t allowed to use golf carts, and the walk from the dock to the unit is pretty long. We ended up paying 120 to some locals to help haul our luggage and groceries, since carts weren’t allowed either.Additionally, the boardwalk to the beach is under repair, which means walking through the sand dunes instead of using the usual wooden path—definitely more effort to get to the beach.All in all, I’d absolutely rent this condo again. The comfort, style, and views make it worth it. While there are a few current inconveniences from hurricane recovery, the property itself is fantastic. We saw some signs of progress around the area, though it looks like it may take some time. Still, the stay was well worth it.

    We’ve being going to LGI since I was a kid back in 2003 and now I’m going with my kids. It has become a family tradition and Wasi Mati was the best condo we’ve stayed in on the island. Recently remodeled, it is immaculate. We cannot wait to go back! The only complaints are out of the owners hands honestly and those are:Make sure you bring bug spray or the mosquitos will be a nuisance even more than usual. Pack as little as you can get away with. There are no more carts to help you lug your things from the ferry to the condo so it can get tiring (and very sweaty). Other than that, it’s a 10/10 stay and experience. I miss it already :(

    Wow! The island was beautiful and peaceful. The views from the condo were breathtaking! Everyone enjoyed and looked forward to the sunsets. Not a single store on the island, no roads or traffic, and even with storm repairs happening it was still quiet and disconnected from the busy world. Our boys loved snorkeling for conks and sand dollars, picking up shells on the beach, fishing, and playing in the sand. It felt like we had the entire beach to ourselves! The locals!!! I cannot say enough about how absolutely amazing the locals were. Some of the nicest people we’ve ever met on a vacation. EVERYONE treated each other with such kindness and respect! Our captain and his wife were so great, they felt like family. The only cons of this trip were things that will only take time to fix and everyone was working hard to restore!
