About this property

ISLAND LIVING! Ferry, parking is free! Closest bldg to beach.

CLOSEST BUILDING TO THE BEACH, NEWLY RENOVATED!!! The condo has 2
bedrooms; 1 king size bed on the first floor and 2 queen size beds in the loft. There are 2 full
bathrooms, 1 on each floor. There is a brand new kitchen with all-new appliances (fridge,
microwave, electric stove, dishwasher, coffee maker, toaster, crockpot, blender, handheld mixer), along with cookware and
tableware, etc. There is a washer and dryer in the unit. There is a lanai with beautiful views,
especially with morning coffee or tea, and only a 2 minute walk to the beach. Parking for your
car is on the mainland, and you take a ferry to get to the island; it usually runs every 2 hours. The
access code to the parking area will be given prior to arrival. Most stores are a 15 minute drive
from the parking area. There is a Publix only 3 minutes away. A bunch of restaurants are nearby
on the mainland as well, from 2 to 10 minutes by car. There are NO shops, restaurants, or stores
on the island itself, ONLY on the mainland. There is also a communal heated pool, smoker, and
personal barbeque grill. NO smoking and NO pets! More information available upon request.
PLEASE NOTE: There will be an extra fee charged for damaged or lost items. Please treat the
condo with respect and cleanliness as if it were your own home. Thank you so much for your
cooperation.
There is some construction work going on with some of the units, so please be careful.
The parking lot address is 12000 Placida Rd, Placida, FL, 33946, if you’d like to search the

Excellent Accomodations!

We stayed at Ivan’s Hideaway Bay condo for 41 nights. The condo was everything we hoped for and more; exceptionally clean, well stocked, tastefully decorated and a prime location with magnificent gulf views. Ivan is great to work with and made moving in and out an easy process. We really had a great stay!

Excellent Stay!!!

Property is very well maintained. Has a well stocked supply of kitchen needs, towels for both bath and beach, and beach umbrella and chairs. Golf cart is in good shape and we had no issues with it. View is amazing from the screened porch. Right by the beach access. This was our 5th trip to the island and I will tell you this unit has the BEST BEDS we have slept on yet. Ivan was great to deal with. Communicated very well. Worst part of the stay was having to leave!

Great stay!

This is our second time staying at Ivan’s place. He is always very responsive to any questions prior and during the stay. The condo is perfectly located just steps from the beach. The kitchen had everything we needed. There were also beach chairs and beach towels available. The pool and boat dock is only a short walk. We bring our boat each year to Little Gasparilla and always have a great time with our two young kids. Thanks for the great stay again this year!!

Beach getaway

Enjoyed staying at this property on Little Gasparilla Island. It’s near the beach, quiet, and has all the amenities you could need for a getaway vacation. Listing accurately described the property except the provided golf cart is only for use on the condo property, which I didn’t know until after I booked. Quite a few codes to know and use. Free ferry to mainland and washer/dryer in unit were good to have available. Host responded promptly to questions. Overall very nice vacation property.
