The Lost Key is a perfect family vacation home! Close to the dock, yet with views of the Gulf of Mexico, the home offers the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet of Little Gasparilla. Your rental includes use of a tandem kayak and stand up paddle-boards. The private beach is just a short walk down a sandy pathway.

The home is uniquely designed to maximize the views, with the living area on the top floor and bedrooms on the first floor.

A separate guest apartment downstairs with its own half bath offers additional room for last-minute guests, teenagers who wish to sleep late or guests who like the idea of a cozy escape. (Please note this room has its own ground floor entrance and cannot be accessed from upstairs.)

The home has been completely renovated and features a new kitchen, and spacious screened porches upstairs and downstairs to maximize the breeze and offer more outdoor living area.

The master features a king bed and en suite bathroom plus access to a private screened porch. Guest room has direct access to another bath and the bunk room (featuring two doubles and a twin) shares that bathroom. Upstairs off the kitchen is another half-bath.

Please note this home does sleep 10, but the rates are based on 6 guests....an additional guest fee is charged for guests over 6, to cover additional cleaning and trash removal costs.
