Glad you had a wonderful time. I installed Starlink last month, so any internet issues are now a thing of the past. Bitter sweet, but speeds are close to 200mb. Mind blowing for our area. Take care

Location is wonderful, within a short walk to beach as well as to bay. Host was very prompt and helpful in his responses. The layout of the house is both spacious and intimate. There is a big screened in porch which affords a second living area. All in all we had a lovely time and would certainly return.

Island Family Retreat

What a great vacation. Little Gasparilla Island is a quiet, beautiful place to relax reunite with family. The boys fished all day and the girls (myself and the elderly family dog) relaxed on the beach. SUNSET was a time to gather on. The beach reconnect . Staying at the O'Connell's was a perfect mix of disconnecting from our busy lives while still having all the modern conviences including a great internet connection.

Little Gasparilla never disappoints!

We were so happy to return to this beautiful and beloved place and thrilled to see how the island has recovered so well after last year's devastating hurricane. This home is cute and comfortable, very well-equipped, and just a few minutes walk from the beach and the dock on the quiet side of the island. We truly enjoyed every moment of our stay. Communication with the owner was effortless and efficient, and we can't wait to be back! Thank you.

Great location and stay

This island does not disappoint. If you were looking to disconnect from technology in the busyness of life this is the place to go. The hosts were very communicative. I really had no need to reach out except for a couple clarifications. The only two things I would suggest for a future visitors is 1) use the foot wash basin or a hose to rinse your feet off before going up the stairs to the house to keep sand outside and 2) The grill is for charcoal use. Make sure to bring charcoal if you want to cook outside. I did not wear shoes the whole week I was down there. The neighbors and community are wonderful to visit and there’s a nice island chapel to worship out on Sundays.

Little piece of paradise

The stay at the hose was very enjoyable. Very close to the beach and close to the dock so we did not have to carry our luggage far. Very quiet neighborhood. True island ambiance. Gorgeous palm trees around the house. We had perfect vacation time. Thank you!!!!

Dog Friendly Island

I had a wonderful stay on Little Gasparilla Island. The neighbors were very friendly and helpful. My German shepherd had a blast hanging out with the neighbor dogs and playing on the beach. We stayed on the second floor of this home and it felt like a tree fort in the jungle. Loved the outdoor shower! It was very homey, convenient to the dock and close to the beach. The screen porch is awesome, although it was a little to cool when I was there so I didn't get to use it as much as I would have liked. The hosts were very responsive when I had questions before and during my stay. I rented a golf cart, and it was fun to buzz around on, but it really wasn't necessary. There isn't that far you can drive on the island. The beach was sparsely populated and we walked for hours everyday. No day trippers mobbing the place. If you are looking for relaxation and quiet, and friendly people, this is the place! Be sure to make reservations early for the water taxi, especially if you decide to go off island during your stay.

A Slice of heaven

Our family travels a lot but I have to say this trip was the most relaxing vacations. A short walk to the beach or a short walk to the docks. You can sit on the big porch and hear the waves. The outside shower was so convenient. Communication with the owner was amazing. We extended our stay we truly enjoy the peace and quite of this little island. Remember it is a Island there are bugs...just bring bug spray. When they say you need nothing but food and drinks that is truly all you need, pack light on clothes. There is a grill, we enjoyed grilling outside and eating on the porch. If you are looking for a relaxing laid back for get about it all I highly recommend this house... My family will be back.
