About this property

Welcome to THE HIVE. A hub for peace and relaxation. DIRECT GULF views

Gulf Front PARADISE. Hurricane renovations are complete. This home is ready for your Gulf front stay.

Located directly in between Sarasota and Ft. Myers on Southwest Florida's Gulf Coast, Little Gasparilla is as close as you can get to Old Florida! There are no paved roads or commercial establishments on the island, only miles of sandy trails flanked by tropical foliage. Take long leisurely walks or travel by golf cart down these paths to explore the beauty of the island. The peaceful, uncrowded beach provides plenty of room for you to bathe in the sun all day, enjoy outstanding shelling, bird watching, swimming, playing with your children, and beautiful water views, but best of all, the brilliant sunsets at the end of each perfect day. There is great fishing to be had in Placida Harbor for Snook, Trout, Redfish, Snapper and more, and in the world famous Boca Grande Pass you can try your hand at Tarpon fishing. Little Gasparilla Island is the ideal place to get away from the mainland madness. Come relax and unwind in a secluded tropical paradise.

LGI is for those seeking a respite from the hectic pace of the mainland and the hassles of everyday life. Escape to Little Gasparilla Island where you can Stay a Week or a Lifetime!

Great house with a great view

We snagged this property last minute as our previous rental through another company was cancelled. So happy we did! It’s a great place to stay with family- the separate apartments helped everyone have their own space and downtime. Everything was great with no complaints. We would definitely stay here again.

Treasured memories!

Beautiful home on idyllic peaceful beach - in great shape while other homes around are still recovering from Ian. Also generously furnished. Nicely laid out for multiple couples for privacy - works with kids well - we brought monitor to be able to hear from separate room and gate for high porch for safety.
Stayed 16 nights in Feb 2023
