About this property
Susie's LGI Beach House - Free Ferry & Golf Cart
Accessible only by boat, "Susie's" is nestled on Florida's gulf coast island of Little Gasparilla Island, or LGI as the locals call it. LGI is next to Boca Grande and its world famous Tarpon fishing, but offers a uniquely secluded and relaxed atmosphere consisting of 7 miles of undisturbed beach, unpaved cart paths that wind through lush tree canopies, and a tropical vibe that will make you forget the mainland. Included is use of a golf cart, regular ferry service, and secured mainland parking.
The space:
Cozy two bedroom, two bath townhome with a screened porch and an open living space. The first bedroom and bath are on the main level; 2nd bedroom and bath are on the 3rd level; and the covered deck and open air golf cart garage are below on the 1st level.
The townhome comes with necessary soft goods like bedding, throw blankets, and both bath and beach towels. The kitchen is stocked with most of the cookware and dining essentials. There is a propane grill on the lower level, as well as an assortment of beach chairs, an umbrella, and a cooler for taking refreshments to the beach or pool.
The family room and master bedroom both have Satellite TVs with basic programming. There is a DVD player and small assortment of DVDs in the Family Room, and feel free to bring along some of your own favorite titles. There is community wifi at the Pool Deck which is sometimes reachable from the front porch of our unit, however for best connection guests will need to go down to the Pool Deck.
Our golf cart is included and can hold up to 4 guests. Slips for boats up to 24' are first come, first served; must register with caretaker once docked. There are many boat rental options nearby if you want to rent by the day or by the week.
Guest access:
Aside from some personal belongings lockers, Guests will have access to our entire townhome, porch, covered deck and garage, as well as all of the community amenities offered by Hideaway Bay.
Other things to note:
***IF YOU REQUIRE A GOLF CART FOR MOBILITY*** The golf cart is provided as an added convenience for our guests, but its availability for use simply cannot be guaranteed. And, because we do not charge extra for its use, we are unable to provide any refund should it become inoperable. We do our best to keep the golf cart operational at all times, but issues can happen and making repairs on the island is not always done easily or quickly. For this reason, if you require a golf cart for mobility to/from the ferry dock, the pool, and/or the beach, we insist that you rent one from LGI Carts. They will deliver the cart to the unit prior to your arrival and, in case of a break down, can quickly repair or replace the cart for you. We appreciate all guests' patience and understanding of these terms.
This is a bridge-less island without any sidewalks or paved roads. There are no stores or retail businesses, so anything that you would like to have on the island outside of what we've listed as included, you will need to bring with you or otherwise you will have to travel off of the island on the ferry to purchase and pick up.
We are not part of a beach resort or hotel, and some guests may have expectations that simply cannot be met. We hope that we've provided enough details through descriptions and photos to accurately depict what a vacation on LGI will look and feel like, and we're always available for questions.
We are always happy to answer any questions you may have before, during, or after your stay.
We've loved this place for over 20 years, and we think you'll love it too!

About the host
Hosted by Tom Chamblee
For over 20 years LGI and this townhome have been a special place to Susie, her husband Tom, and our family and friends. We hope that you too are able to create lasting memories while here.
Why they chose this property
Excellent place for families. Kids can roam the safe island and beaches. Hideaway Bay Beach Club community pool and BBQ area, and daily ferry were huge perks of the neighborhood.
What makes this property unique
Semi-private island makes for a unique version of Florida seclusion, unlike most beach communities in the state.
