Lemon Zest on Little Gasparilla Island - Sunkissed and Salty
Bring your zest for life to Lemon Zest Cottage, a beautifully renovated three bedroom, two bath island retreat just one lot from the Gulf of Mexico. Surrounded by tropical landscaping and the soothing sounds of the sea, this coastal home puts soft sandy beaches and clear Gulf waters only a short stroll away. Take in Gulf views from the sundeck, relax with a book in the shade, or spend the day swimming and searching for shells. The open living area makes gathering easy, while the updated, well equipped kitchen is ready for relaxed family meals. Accessible only by boat, Little Gasparilla Island is a bridgeless barrier island between Sarasota and Fort Myers, where sandy trails replace roads and relaxation replaces routine. Arrange a convenient water taxi for arrival and departure, then settle in for fishing, shelling, swimming, sunsets, and an unhurried taste of island life. The community dock is currently under repair. Lemon Zest Cottage welcomes up to six guests with one king bed, one queen bed, and two twin beds in the loft, pictured together. Amenities include air conditioning, linens, a washer and dryer, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, blender, ice maker, charcoal grill, and dishes and utensils. 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, plus a 3 percent credit card processing fee. The processing fee is waived for check payments. Smoking is not permitted.
