Family & Pet Friendly! Embark on your next adventure at this unique and serene retreat that can only be reached by boat. Little Gasparilla Island is a bridge-less barrier island located off the West Coast of Florida in the Gulf of Mexico about halfway between Sarasota and Fort Myers and is accessible only to its residents and renters. You can arrive at the island using your private boat or by boarding the water taxi, which will take you to our dock in just 10 minutes. There are no cars, shops, or restaurants on the island, and the 7-mile beach is private and uncrowded. You can explore LGI by renting a golf cart or by walking - the choice is yours. The house is a two-story, single-family home that has recently been renovated, including new memory foam mattresses. The house has a queen master bedroom, a queen bedroom, a twin bunk bed and a single twin, and a large bedroom with a full and twin beds. There are two full bathrooms inside and a relaxing outdoor shower where you can enjoy the stars at night.

We have a sister property, Simply Adrift, across the street available for rent for larger groups or multiple families vacationing together. You can enjoy stunning sunrises over the bay from the upstairs deck, stroll along uncrowded beaches, and witness breathtaking sunsets. The Gulf water is usually very clear, with a pure white sand bottom, there are no steep drop-offs when you enter the water. It is absolutely perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and kayaking. There is fantastic fishing, and an abundance of sea shells and shark’s teeth to gather. Leashed dogs are also welcome to enjoy the beach.

The water taxi picks you up out back on the dock. WATER TAXI: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY! The local water taxi service is provided by Pirate Water Taxi, with either Emmett or Bill as your captain. You will need to call well before your arrival date to make arrangements for your arrival and departure. The taxi is available every day 8:30-5:00 hours and always requires a reservation but will run later or earlier by request for an additional charge. It is best to contact them about two weeks in advance, especially if you need to travel very early, after dark, or on a holiday. The average cost for the water taxi is $30/for 2 people and then $15 per person after that (subject to change) each way but be sure to verify this as prices sometimes change depending on the time of day you need to cross. Make sure you tell him that you are coming to Dock #44 . . . once at the dock you can grab the handcart from the house or you can arrange the island concierge, Bret, to help get your gear to the house. IT IS CRITICAL THAT YOU SCHEDULE THE TAXI IN ADVANCE. The island now has the option of an upon-arrival or mid-stay grocery delivery service. Have your groceries delivered on the day you arrive or send the shoppers to the mainland for additional groceries or things you might have forgotten.
