About this property

How Sweet It Is...Private Island Beach Life

  • Escape to a peaceful island cottage just steps from the beach, reached by a private boardwalk through the dunes. Spend sunny days by the turquoise Gulf, watch colorful sunsets from the open sundeck, or relax on the screened lanai and hammock. With the comforts of home and the quiet charm of Little Gasparilla Island, this welcoming retreat makes it easy to slow down and enjoy island time.
    This two bedroom, one and a half bath cottage accommodates up to four guests with one queen bed, two twin beds, and an optional sleeper sofa. Amenities include WiFi, air conditioning, linens, a washer and dryer, dishwasher, coffee maker, blender, propane grill, outdoor shower, hammock, community dock, and private boardwalk access to the beach.
    Little Gasparilla Island is a bridgeless retreat accessible only by private boat or water taxi. With no stores or restaurants, the island offers miles of sandy trails, beautiful Gulf waters, and a wonderfully unhurried atmosphere. Golf carts are available to rent for exploring the island.
    Pets are welcome with owner approval. A nonrefundable pet fee applies per pet, and breed or size restrictions may apply. A refundable security deposit of $500 is required. Additional charges include 12 percent tax, cleaning and reservation fees, and a 3 percent credit card processing fee. The processing fee is waived for check payments. Smoking is not permitted.
    Make your island escape more affordable by booking directly with Tarpon Real Estate and avoiding the added service fees charged by third party booking sites. Reserve How Sweet It Is today and start looking forward to more beach days, peaceful sunsets, and unforgettable island memories.
