Placida, Florida
Welcome to “Happily ever after” the last place you will need to go on vacation. Guests are sure to enjoy a memorable time in our 2 bedroom/1 bath cottage. The living room is furnished with leather furniture and handmade wood accent pieces. The kitchen is perfect for the chef equipped with stove, dishwasher, microwave, refrigerator, coffee percolator, China, pots and pans, plenty of Corning and bakeware. There is a community dock steps away Dock 78 when you depart the water taxi (pirates water taxi call for reservations at least a week in advance 941-697-5777) and a concierge to take you and your groceries to our home. (Bret 941-223-4548 $20 plus tip!) Once inside you will find the items you need to enjoy yourself. We include toiletries in our elaborate outside maze shower, paper products, kitchen staples, condiments and a complimentary bottle of wine or two, noodles, beach chairs, and beach towels. We are walking distance to the beach so a cart isn’t required but far enough away to enjoy our private treehouse. We are not on a main cart path and privacy and solitude are always available. Our screen porch is always comfortable with over stuffed chairs, futon, bistro table and trees everywhere! You can fish from dock or beach and we leave extra poles for our guests to use. Just don’t forget your bait. Games, books, craft items are there for your use and gives everyone something to do when you need to avoid the sun for a couple hours! We have a dedicated beach boardwalk that takes you over the sand and deposits you on the beach. If we forgot anything we are only a phone call away or text.
I was worried this house might feel a little small for our group (me, my mom, kids 11&13, and dog), but we found the space to be very well laid out. Was comfortable and felt spacious for its size. Beds very comfortable. Host was extremely nice and responsive. Thank you!
Property was as advertised and Michele made the process very easy. Great communication so there were no surprises. We loved it so much, we ran off with the key. Again, Michele made it easy for us to return the accidentally stolen property. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy LGI.
truely amazing
We really enjoyed our stay. The home is lovely, we enjoyed the the peace and quiet. The porch was an enjoyable place to sit and take in nature. The beach was amazing, not many people on it, hard to find in Florida lol. Highly recommend.
We had a great quiet relaxing stay in this home.
Wow do i wish i lived on this island! This house is like EDEN! I am so enchanted by this island and this house is 1 block from the bay with a perfect boat dock! The home has been renovated and the multiple porches overlooking the beautiful wooded grounds. This tree house is in my heart forever! We hope to come back many times! We are locals from Osprey and we appreciate beauty when we see it! This is a BEAUTIFUL HOUSE! Thank you for having us! 5 STARS ON EVERY CATEGORY! Mary & Neville
The house was absolutely perfect. We enjoyed every minute of our stay. It was exactly as advertised and just what we were looking for. It was beautifully decorated very well thought out and very clean. We felt right at home the moment we walk through the door and can’t wait to return.
Nothing could have been better than this place. Quick walk to the dock, quick walk to the beach, marina is just accross the way. House is clean and the beds are nice. We had a lovely weekend and will be going back!
Great place. Beach and dock are a short walk. Super clean. Michele is super responsive every time we had a question.
This was our third visit to Little Gasparilla Island, and this location was the best for privacy and peace. We usually rent places with a view, but having two dogs, one with high anxiety, we needed something off the beaten path. This cute home provided a private oasis. Decorated with a whimsical style and beautiful woodwork, right down to their wonderful outdoor shower with awesome water pressure, it called to the creative soul. Michele was extremely responsive, even responding to a text and phone call when needed. The stocked cabinets provided more spices and options than I usually have at home, and the extra ice was welcome, so this was a pleasant surprise given it was Thanksgiving weekend with all the fixings! The location was a quick walk from the taxi area and having brought our boat, easy to come back and forth to check on the tides. The beautiful beach was also a quick walk down the palm tree-lined dirt golf cart paths in the opposite direction. Several items of note: there are minimal cell service and no internet or wifi. The listing is accurate and does not state these amenities, but having been to LGI before, this had not been an issue so we incorrectly assumed we could utilize our hotspot. Michele was very responsive and helped as best possible with this concern. Also, the listing states two bedrooms with two beds sleeping four. We were advised upon booking that this had been changed to one bed. Given that we are a couple, it worked out fine, but sometimes we do utilize a second bedroom if one of us is reading late. Finally, the owner's belongings filled closet, drawer and bathroom space, so it was a bit difficult to unpack fully. A shelf for toothbrushes, contacts, medicine, and other personal items along with closet/drawer space would be helpful. Overall, we were pleasantly surprised with the artistic space, solitude and family welcome (Michele continually stated their place was our place and to use anything we saw and needed -so much like family!) We hope to return in the not too far future :)
