Spacious Waterside Cottage with Private Dock with Easy Access to Placida Bay and the Gulf of Mexico on Little Gasparilla Island, Florida

Here's an ideal spot for your barrier island vacation, located on beautiful Little Gasparilla Island!



SPACE

This cottage sits on the north canal at the south end of Little Gasparilla. There is a large private dock extending the length of the seawall -- 65 feet! -- with a fish cleaning station, providing plenty of docking space for a small to medium-sized fishing boat. If you are a fishing enthusiast, you can’t find a more convenient spot to dock your boat and easily access Placida Bay and the Gulf of Mexico.



The home offers a large screened porch overlooking the canal and the bay, perfect for viewing sunrise over Placida Bay. (Please note the screened porch area has been recently modified slightly; new photos to follow shortly.)



A galley-style kitchen with all cooking tools and utensils makes cooking your beach meals simple and convenient. There is a dining area and a large living area, plus there are three bedrooms and two full baths.



The cottage is just a few steps from Little Gasparilla’s private beach. There is deeded beach access down a sandy pathway. So whether you are a fishing family — or beach lovers — this cottage offers the perfect spot for your LGI vacation.



NEIGHBORHOOD

Little Gasparilla Island is a private barrier island accessible by boat only. Bring your own fishing boat and dock at our large dock OR take the convenient water taxi that departs daily from Eldred's Marina. (Average cost is $15 per person per trip but confirm with the taxi as prices increase for early morning or late evening.)



TRANSIT

There are no roads and no cars on Little Gasparilla Island. Golf cart rentals are sometimes available to explore other parts of the island (ask our Guest Services Manager when you book) but the beach is just a short walk and you can easily walk the length of the island.
