Bay Watch - Beautiful Bay Views - PRIVATE ISLAND
Escape to true island tranquility at this charming two-bedroom bayfront retreat on Little Gasparilla Island. Accessible only by boat or water taxi, this peaceful getaway offers no cars, no traffic, and an abundance of coastal serenity. Relax on the screened lanai while taking in sweeping bay views, stroll to the private beach for a spectacular sunset, or spend your days shelling, kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, and enjoying the Gulf breeze in some of Southwest Florida's most inviting waters. A fully equipped kitchen, washing machine and dryer, and comfortable living spaces make the home an excellent choice for an extended stay. Accommodating up to seven guests, it features one king bedroom, one queen bedroom, two futons, and an additional twin mattress. Amenities: Stay connected with satellite Wi-Fi and enjoy air conditioning, a 75-inch Smart TV, books, games, cornhole, darts, a hammock, beach chairs, beach towels, one kayak, and two paddleboards. Guests also have access to a community dock that accommodates boats up to 24 feet. Golf carts are available to rent on the island but are not included with the home. More Room for Your Group: Planning a larger island getaway? Bird's Nest, the sister property next door, can be rented together with this home to accommodate up to 13 guests. Book both properties to receive a discount and make it even easier to bring family and friends together.

Lovely house! Everything you need for a wonderful vacation on the beach. The clothes dryer is a little loud and is missing the lint filter, so a few articles of clothing went missing…but we found them below the house where the dryer vent blows out. Other than that little mystery, our stay was perfect!
The location is perfect to take your own boat and explore the sandbar and surrounding areas. Beach is just a short walk away.

Happy Ending
We ran into some challenges upon arrival. The owners had double-booked and there was someone in our unit. We were unable to reach them until 8 am the next day. They were not available from 10pm until the morning. Scott was pleasant to communicate with and made amends by giving us two-nights free and use of his private golf cart. He was also genuinely apologetic which was greatly appreciated after all of the difficulties. It’s a quiet space and the owners were kind. It was an unfortunate situation but we enjoyed our stay overall. :)
Loved our stay on LGI, took some work to figure out the ferry rides, but once that was completed, it was an awesome stay. Looking forward to coming back.
Perfect place for 2 of us to stay. Right off the dock for a very short distance to carry everything as we arrive and leave. Nice short walk to the beach. So glad there were beach chairs. A beach umbrella would be a great addition. We would stay here again for sure!
Great week on Little Gaspirilla Island. Our unit was located on the Intercoastal side but was a short walk to the Gulf beach. The beach is quiet and beautiful. The neighbors were amazingly friendly and fun to be with. Will definitely go back.
We loved our stay and downtime in this cute elevated island home. We stayed in and did not venture around the island. Don’t forget to make your water taxi reservations like we did. There is no other way to get here. Overall we enjoyed our stay.
