"The Island" is a generational cottage on Little Gasparilla Island that has been owned and enjoyed by the same family since it was built over 50 years ago. The home has been beautifully maintained and upgraded over the years and now the owners are sharing their little piece of paradise. It features a perfect oceanfront location with the ease and convenience of a dock right outside your back door. That is truly the best of both worlds on LGI. Access to your boat, the bay and the pass is just minutes from the house. Yet the front yard boasts a beautiful expanse of dunes and sea oats and a sandy pathway leading to LGI's private beach. This home is a dream vacation spot for avid boaters, sun worshippers and island nature lovers.

The home features a modern kitchen and spacious dining area, three bedrooms on the main floor, which sleep 6, and an additional downstairs "guest suite" with its own bathroom. (Please note this room has its own ground floor entrance and cannot be accessed from upstairs.)An open porch overlooks the Gulf of Mexico and provides a perfect spot for sunset watching.

There is a downstairs open air outdoor shower for rinsing off when coming back from the beach. The kitchen features modern stainless appliances and is stocked with everything you need for cooking your favorite meal at the beach. The home has recently been updated with new flooring and high speed wireless internet.
