Private island getaway
Hurricane Milton Update: Our home is now available to enjoy. Perfect island getaway centrally located on Little Gasparilla. Nestled quietly in the middle of all the island's tropical beauty, Paradise Beach house is located just steps from the beach and bayside/dock. For those of you who haven't been to LGI, you won't want to miss this unique kind of escape. Time spent here is like no other- stripped down to what is essential and natural, life becomes simple and easy to enjoy. The island is truly magical- you have to see for yourself. Whether you are on a family vacation or romantic getaway, Paradise beach house is the perfectly located, private stay, filled with relaxation and/or adventure. Our house has 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms. Master with a new king and 1/2 bathroom. 2nd bedroom with two brand new twins, one full bathroom and a pull out in the living room. Sleeps 4 comfortably and can sleep up to but no more than 6. You will need a water taxi (pirates water taxi, the do not like to book anything less than a week prior) or a boat to get to the island (Dock 51), the island is not accessible by car. Be it bitter sweet, long awaited Starlink provides strong reliable internet. There is island grocery delivery, but we recommend grocery shopping before crossing the bay. Trash service is provided at 3 kitchen size bags per week. Golf cart, kayak, and many other activities are available for rent. (Rentals are suspended as of now due to Milton) We are happy to discuss any further details should you choose to inquire.
-About Little Gasparilla Island and common questions:
Little Gasparilla Island is a barrier island in the Gulf of Mexico. This little piece of paradise is only accessible by personal watercraft or water taxi. Pirates Water taxi can be reserved ahead of time by calling 941-697-5777. Cost is $20 (subject to change), which includes 2 people and luggage. Business hours are 8:30-5:30 and reservations are required.
We have Starlink internet! 200mbs+
If you're planning on bringing a boat, we have a dock space available which will accommodate up to a 26 foot boat ( size limit due to Florida laws) Please let us know in advance if you will be bringing a boat.
We do not have a golf cart available for use and because of our close proximity to both the dock and beach one isn't needed, however, if you wish to rent one LGI Island Golf Cart can be reached at 941-607-3820. We recommend calling 2 weeks in advance to reserve.
There are no grocery stores or convenience stores on the island. While our home is well stocked with spices and condiments, you will need to plan ahead to bring your desired groceries and beverages. Our tap water is perfectly drinkable. There is an island grocery service, should you run out of something or forget a needed item.
Remember, this will be a vacation like no other- LGI is not a resort, it is an island with only private residences and because of the lack of shops and amenities, you will be able to enjoy the natural beauty of the beaches, surroundings and time unlike anywhere else.
Just remember to pack light with clothes- heavy with food and beverages and we promise, you will be so pleased that you chose Little Gasparilla.
Please email with any questions.

Why they chose this property
We have been visiting little gasparilla island for the past 10 years and finally found the perfect island house. Situated just a short walk from the beach, this property allows for the quiet and serene space we've enjoyed so often on LGI.
What makes this property unique
This island is so unique, there really is no place like it. Nature abounds, turtles, sea life, lush tropical greenery and flowers, breathtaking beaches with unmatched sunrises and sunsets- There are no cars, there is no commerce so really, no distractions- which equals the chance to spend such high quality time with those you love and plenty of opportunity to make unforgettable memories.
