An island getaway off the beaten path: Little Gasparilla Island. Adventure Vacations / Secluded Honeymoons / Executive Retreats / Bestie Reunions

We offer three private waterfront/beachfront standalone houses on our secluded, 5+ acre "compound" that spans the extreme north end of Little Gasparilla Island, from its beach dunes to its bay docks. Started decades ago as a simple, single-house fishing getaway, expanded to three houses by a wealthy newspaperman in the 80's, and improved in recent years, this is an OLD FLORIDA gem----natural and serene, without the crowded beaches, T-shirt shops, and high rise condos more typical of Florida today. Each house offers modern amenities with great views from comfortable old-style porches and decks. French doors in every room simultaneously bring the outside in while inviting you outside to enjoy everything the island has to offer. You'll see lots of white sand, shells, birds, dolphins, manatee, fish, and other wildlife, but few people. Little Gasparilla is a true island, there is NO BRIDGE. You'll park on the mainland and arrive by boat (water taxi). Pack lightly and bring your groceries!

Hello, friends of GasparillaGetaways.com

The fun article below explains a bit of the history of LGI and the surrounding islands. Our bay-to-beach property (known as GasparillaGetaways) is located right next to the now closed pass that used to separate us from Don Pedro Island wildlife preserve. We are connected to Don Pedro on the beach sand only, as the remains of the pass are just beyond the row of mangroves. When you sit on our beach deck you are only a few yards from where the old pass used to be! It’s two miles to the right before there are any homes - so privacy abounds at our Beach Cottage that borders the state park wildlife preserve. Come stay at GasparillaGetaways.com and enjoy Old Florida and experience, “luxury off the beaten path.”

Fall on the island is the best! With temps in the 80’s, still warm Gulf waters, watching sunsets from our Beach Cottage, and 7 miles of pristine beach for shell and shark tooth hunting where you will be largely alone, you just can’t beat GasparillaGetaways.com
