Located directly in between Sarasota and Ft. Myers on Southwest Florida's Gulf Coast, Little Gasparilla is as close as you can get to Old Florida! There are no paved roads or commercial establishments on the island, only miles of sandy trails flanked by tropical foliage. Take long leisurely walks to explore the beauty of the island. The peaceful, uncrowded beach provides plenty of room for you to bathe in the sun all day, enjoy outstanding shelling, bird watching, swimming, playing with your children, and beautiful water views, but best of all, the brilliant sunsets at the end of each perfect day. There is great fishing to be had in Placida Harbor for Snook, Trout, Redfish, Snapper and more, and in the world famous Boca Grande Pass you can try your hand at Tarpon fishing. Little Gasparilla Island is the ideal place to get away from the mainland madness. Come relax and unwind in a secluded tropical paradise.

LGI is for those seeking a respite from the hectic pace of the mainland and the hassles of everyday life. Escape to Little Gasparilla Island where you can Stay a Week or a Lifetime!

**PLEASE NOTE: This is a bridgeless, barrier island that is accessed by water taxi or private boat. Call us for details!

Great place with beautiful rooftop views.
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. :)

Great Time!
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.
