“Sunrise Bay at LGI” Our island home is rentable for a 7 night minimum/maximum through the VRBO site. This helps us to provide a more flexible cancellation policy. Follow us on Facebook, TikTok and YouTube where we have many more videos. Sunrise Bay at Little Gasparilla Island
*Little Gasparilla Island is a bridge-less, barrier island off the west coast of Florida in the city of #Placida. This home is accessible ONLY by private boat or boat taxi and the living quarters are accessible ONLY by stairs on the 2nd story with the laundry room downstairs on the bottom deck. Private 65' dock directly out front on the bay with a 5 minute walk to the beach. We welcome a small number of weekly rentals each year. Canal can get shallow at low tide.
⚠️Persons not listed in your contract as staying at our home (4 Adults maximum) are not permitted to visit or be on our property. Please do not seek to book with us if this is your intention, as it is non-negotiable. We can recommend other neighboring homes that may better fit your needs if you are traveling with others or have friends/family in the area.
LATE checkout at NOON - enjoy your last day! We recommend purchasing travel insurance appropriate for your needs.
Our home renovations are COMPLETE after Hurricane Ian damages. Please be fully aware and acknowledge that the island is not completed nor will many homes be fixed likely for several years to come. Many had to be torn down or are waiting their turn to be torn down. Then if they are rebuilding it takes up to 2 years for a home to be built here. There will be construction going on next door, on our canal, and completely throughout the entire island. It is far better than it was initially during the first 6 months but all of southwest Florida will have construction. Please ensure that you understand none of it is under our control and we can only manage the home we own. It is STILL glorious paradise despite it all!

LGI is a gorgeous tiny island which is only accessible by boat - there are no shops or restaurants...instead you have several miles of private white beaches, world class fishing for tarpon and snook, along with the most spectacular sunrises and sunsets!
2 Bedrooms - Kings, 14 inch gel memory foam
2 Full Indoor Bathrooms (showers only, intentionally no tubs)
Sleeper Sofa - memory foam Queen (length is of a single mattress but width is of a Queen; not for taller persons)
Outdoor Shower with extra large rainfall shower-head (the favorite)
~ Easy Docking In All Conditions! Docks come in all different shapes and dealing with currents can make it more difficult to come and go with ease. Fortunately, the North Canal is the widest and with our home at the front you'll not stress about getting to your dock and your boat is well-protected during choppy weather. It has enough room for larger boats. Snook and all kinds of fish can also be caught here (depending on the fisherman!).
~ Not All Homes Have WiFi. Ours does! While we love the remoteness of the island, we also want to be able to stay for weeks on end with the ability to work from home. Stream YouTubeTV, Disney+, Netflix, Hulu, Apple, Prime etc on our 65" tv.
~ Bay and Beach - Best of Both Worlds and direct deeded access to the beach! In the photos is a visual of the back of our home. See the little sandy path with the red arrows from our home to the ocean A 5 minute walk straight to the ocean.
Enjoy the days watching dolphin and manatees from the dock, swimming in the ocean, kayaking (2 provided) canoeing (1 provided), stand up paddle boarding (1 provided), hunting for shark teeth in the sand. End them taking a short walk to the most awe-inspiring sunsets and then fishing off your own private dock. Cook dinner on our charcoal grill (starter charcoal and lighters provided - don't lug that over; we will do it for you!)
CAPACITY
- 4 Adults only, no children or teenagers: please keep in mind that we have 2 bedrooms and each has a King sized bed. The third area to sleep is a Queen 'short' sleeper sofa. A tall adult would not be comfortable sleeping there.
- Our bedding is modeled after luxury hotels; we remember not sleeping well when we rented on LGI for 13 years and ensured that our home was not only an amazing location for the views and fishing but a place you'd find rest.

We love LGI. It is paradise to us. Sunrise Bay was furnished well with such classy touches. We could definitely relax. The owners were accommodating and clear with communication. We adored their home and their attention to detail. We also loved that we could park our boat right out front of the house.
This is our second time staying at Sunrise Bay for family vacation and it gets better every time. The owner is an amazing host, always easy to get in touch with, and happy to help! The house is so clean and exactly how it is described, so you know what to expect. Our kids are 5 and 9 and the house is very suitable for the ages (as far as safety, location, etc). The location is just 2 minutes from a great sandbar, and the docks are perfectly set up for a boat, dock fishing, etc. we will be back again!
We had an amazing trip and Korrie was amazing from get go! We never questioned anything and she was great to work with. Place was exceptionally stocked with anything we could have needed and then some. We will for sure be back!
This was a great vacation! Perfect location on the island for boaters. Loved the private dock. Watched tons of dolphins and manatees from the screened porch. House was stocked and very clean. Would rent again!
Property is beautifully situated on canal so that your boat is a front door while still having a short walk to beach. Best of both worlds. House is clean, updated, beautifully decorated and stocked with all essentials. Korrie was a super host in communicating prior to our arrival and keeping in touch to ensure everything was top notch. Sad to have to leave but countdown is on till next year.
The house was emasculate and a great location. Korrie was very easy to work with and very prompt in answering any questions we had. We will be back!!
Korrie was the most attentive and responsive owner that we have ever had!! She was amazing leading up to our stay and during. The house was spotless and very well organized. Every detail of home and supplies was perfectly thought out! There was board games, kayaks, beach supplies and a fully stocked kitchen. The screened-in porch is AMAZING!! We enjoyed many cups of coffee and meals on the porch overlooking canal and bay! The bay was aqua blue while we were there and it was so relaxing watching birds and dolphins. The rental house is a short walk to beach. We found lots of neat shells and enjoyed the uncrowded beach. We wish we could have stayed longer but hope to return some day! Thank you Stevenson family for helping us create special memories!!
What a fantastic stay for a month on the island. Before we even arrived we were made to feel welcomed. We were greeted by a welcoming gift and an ideal location. Korrie and her husband have thought of everything when updating the house. All the things we wanted were there from a kitchen that had quality cookware, all the needed well working equipment to prepare our meals, to comfy chairs in the living room. So many things that one would want were furnished: comfy blankets in living-room basket, dining room table and chairs - cute and comfortable, excellent beds, screened in porch with great furniture, all sorts of places to sit outside, and much more. Of course the sunrise to greet us each day was incredible. Korrie could not have been a more gracious host. Our month’s stay was perfect and it was so hard to leave. We hope to be back many times in the future.
Look no further this place is even better in person. All of our interactions with Korrie were great. From booking until the end of the trip. The little touches she left for us were a surprise and made us feel welcome. This was our 5th visit to LGI. We wanted to get away from Illinois and we’re able to spend 10 days on LGI at this property. I had seen this being promoted on various LGI Facebook pages and reached out in early December to see if it was available for 9 nights after Christmas. Right away Korrie reached out and and we were able to rent their second home. This is their second home they choose to rent out. It is remodeled and has all the amenities you needs to be on LGI. All you needed are your clothes, food, beverages, and if you want to fish your fishing items. We rented a boat for 7 days and it was easy to dock it in front of the home and it was a quick out each day to go out to eat, spend time on beaches, fish, and just be in the water. Also the walk to LGI beach was easy and a quick walk. Thanks Korrie and Sean for letting us spend our 31st anniversary and New Years on LGI. Judy and Tom Hansen
We have been staying on Little Gasparilla for years and by far this was our best experience. The house was perfectly clean and well stocked. The owners were so easy to talk with and very helpful! The pictures of the home were exactly what we found when we arrived! I would highly recommend this for a small family with kids 4 and older, like ours!
