Vacation Home Rentals By Owner In Placida, FL

This beautifully decorated coastal retreat invites you to unwind in a kidney-shaped heated pool, fringed with umbrellas and shaded lounge chairs perfect for long, lazy afternoons. From the heated pool, wander to your private dock, where two kayaks, a paddleboard, and two bicycles are yours to enjoy. Launch right from the backyard into beautiful open water for a peaceful paddle through Kettle Harbor — a tranquil 400’ wide bay alive with birds, fish, and the rhythm of the tide. It’s just a short glide to the Intracoastal Waterway, where dolphins often play and adventure begins.brbrWhether you rent or bring your own boat, a short cruise will carry you to Stump Pass, revealing the mesmerizing emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico, where sandbars, shells, and sunsets feel like a secret world.brbrPalm Island is a true rarity, featuring seven miles of pristine Gulf-front beach that feel almost untouched. Grab the provided beach chairs, umbrellas, and towels, and wander toward the shoreline to discover treasures of shells and sharks’ teeth scattered across the soft sand. Or rent a golf cart from a local vendor and explore in island style, weaving through palms, cottages, and ocean breezes.brbrInside the home, the great room opens to screened decks that wrap the entire rear of the house, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living. It’s the perfect place to sip morning coffee, watch coastal birds drift by, or gather for a spectacular sunset show that paints the horizon and lingers long into the night. For additional sleeping space, the living room offers a pull-out sofa, and an air bed is stored in the closet of one of the bedrooms for guest use.brbrThis isn’t just a vacation — it’s that magical, barefoot, salt-kissed island experience you dream about, where every day ends in golden light and every moment feels a little unreal. Take a 4-minute private car ferry ride to paradise, kick back, relax, and enjoy everything our home on Palm Island has to offer.brbrFor dining and island treats, guests have easy access to Rum Bay, a beloved restaurant serving lunch and dinner, and Coconuts, a charming ice cream shop that also carries small convenience groceries. To visit, simply head to the entrance of the island resort. If you're using a golf cart or car, you can park in the main lot and continue on with your golf cart into the resort. If you're arriving by car only, the resort team will gladly provide a complimentary golf-cart ride to Rum Bay or Coconuts and return you afterward. Bicycles may also ride all the way up, but guests should check in at the resort gate first.brbrFor full grocery shopping, Publix and Aldi are located just off the island, making it easy to stock up before heading over. Both stores support Instacart, allowing guests to pre-order groceries for fast and convenient pickup. Instacart drivers do not come onto the island, so this is the easiest way to load up before crossing on the private ferry.brbrHeated Pool Notice: Our pool is heated during the cooler months and is set to maintain a comfortable temperature when weather conditions allow. In Florida winters, a typical heated pool temperature ranges between approximately 78°F and 82°F.brPlease note that when outdoor temperatures drop into the 40s or 50s, especially overnight, it may not be possible for the pool heater to maintain warmer temperatures. Pool heaters generally heat the water about 10 to 15 degrees above the outdoor air temperature, and wind and cooler nights can affect heat retention.brWe want our guests to enjoy the pool while also setting realistic expectations based on seasonal weather conditions. Thank you for your understanding, and please feel free to reach out with any questions before your stay.

Summary:brbrLeave your car and your cares at the marina because Little Gasparilla is accessible only by water taxi! That means our beaches are uncrowded and tourists and traffic are just a mainland memory. If you are looking for a quiet tropical island to relax and unplug, Little Gasparilla is your dream vacation spot. Our nightlife consists of giant sea turtles laying their eggs -- our only bar is the sand bar where you can find sand dollars and shells!brbrbrbrThe Space:brbrPlease note that Little Gasparilla Island is a barrier island accessible only by boat; we provide water taxi information when you book. You cannot drive your vehicle to the island; you park at the marina on the mainland where you catch the water taxi. There are no stores, bars or restaurants on Little Gasparilla which means it has retained much of its old Florida ambiance and pristine beauty. For years Little Gasparilla was visited only by locals who would come on weekends to fish, go to the beach and enjoy the privacy, peace and quiet. Now, even though it has been discovered, the lack of commercial establishments means that the island appeals to those who want to get away from crowds, tourists, traffic and technology. brbrbrbrSea Star Beach House is a newly renovated 3-bedroom home located directly on the beach. Enjoy days on the beautiful beach, swimming in warm gulf waters and evenings watching the sunset across sweeping views of the horizon. brbrbrbrAn open concept kitchen, with island seating, and living room looks out sliding glass doors to the 180 degree view of the Gulf of Mexico and 7 miles of white sand beaches. Also on the main floor is the master bedroom; with a king bed, half-bath and sliding door access to the front deck facing the beach and ocean. You can fall asleep to the sound of the waves.

If you are expecting a polished resort atmosphere, Little Gasparilla is decidedly more rustic. During periods of heavy rain or tropical storms, there may be standing water on the roadways, at the dock and around the house. This is a tropical environment with mosquitos, rust, power outages and other minor inconveniences. If you are expecting resort amenities and services, the island might not be for you.brbrbrbrHOLIDAY RATES: Please note that all there will be holiday rates applied to quotes for Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years.brbrbrbrPLEASE NOTE: We do require that two members of each group must be over 25 years of age. We apologize, but we can NOT rent to college groups as a courtesy to the homeowners and our island neighbors. Guests will be evicted if found not to meet age requirements upon check in. Additionally, we can not exceed capacity in island homes due to the fragile septic systems.brbrbrbrInteraction with Guests:brbrOur Guest Services Manager lives on island and is your go-to person for immediate needs.
