Vores hjem er orienteret for at give en betagende, uhindret panoramaudsigt over bugten fra køkken / opholdsstue, indskærmet spisestue / veranda, soveværelse og topdæksuite. Gulv-til-loft vinduer på tværs af hele stranden-siden, giver en uendelig effekt af bred åben plads. Den åbne plan layout kombineret med et hvælvet loft og store soveværelser gør vores hjem føler meget rummelige. Vi er på den sydlige ende af Little Gasparilla Island, og vores lille del af huse har begge bredeste partier på øen (100ft) og den bredeste afstand mellem ejendomme (30ft) for maksimal privatliv. Som en bonus er de partier, der støder op til os på sydsiden, uudviklede! Og fordi der er dybt løv mellem os og huset til vores nord, vil du føle dig helt afsondret. (Vi har uploadet en video, så du kan se selv.) Der er noget specielt ved at sidde på baghaven og se solen gå ned uden nogen andre rundt. Det føles som om det er din egen private solnedgang. Stranden ligger bredest i vores hus, og fordi husene på den sydlige ende af øen er ordentligt sat tilbage fra stranden, kan du slentre langs den og nyde klitterne og havregryn som baggrund. Tag en lounger ned, og med så få mennesker vil du føle at du er på din egen private strandstrækning. (Vi har 3 liggestole, 6 Adirondack stole og 4 parasoller til stranden.) For at få et perspektiv på øen liv kan du tjekke os ud på IG på cocosbeachhousefl_ I huset har det store soveværelse en king size seng og en-suite brusebad med gennemgang toilet / bidet. Det åbner op for spil / ekstra værelse og har udsigt over bugten. Det andet soveværelse har også en king size seng og en-suite bad / toilet. Den øverste dæk suite har 2 enkeltsenge med eget bad / toilet / håndvask og har også udsigt over bugten. Vi har masser af brætspil i vores ekstra værelse - som kan bruges som ekstra soveværelse (med 2 madrasser), så huset kan sove i alt 8. For at gøre ophold mere overkommelige for familier / grupper på 4, er vores basispris fastsat til det nummer, og vi opkræver lidt mere for yderligere gæster op til 8. Minimum ophold er 3 nætter, og vi tilbyder en nedsat sats for ugentlige / månedlige ophold. Den udendørs, indskærmede spiseplads er vores yndlingsværelse i huset, især ved solnedgang. Det har et stort bord og komfortable siddepladser til 6. Der er ikke noget bedre sted at spise mens du ser solen gå ned over vandet, og himlen og skyer lyser op. På lavere niveau har udendørsdækket på Gulf-siden et picnicbord, der sidder 8 komfortabelt og masser af plads til vores liggestole / solsenge med en klar udsigt til vandet. Vores strandpromenade vil tage dig næsten hele vejen der - du henter noget sand i tæerne over det sidste klit. Ved siden af nedre dæk har vi et beskyttet, sandigt område til badminton / volleyball / basketball. At komme på / ud af øen (og forlade folkemængderne bagved) er let med båd taxi (5 minutter fra fastlandet), eller du kan leje en båd (10 minutter til fastlandet), eller medbring din egen. Vores forening har 2 havne til gæster på øen (på først til mølle). Fiskeri rundt om øen er uovertruffen (lejligheder / kyster, nærshore og offshore) - snook, snapper, grouper, rødfisk, ørred, tarpon ... Hvis du ikke har en båd, vil fiskeguider hente dig fra øen. Der er masser af sjove restauranter til båd til til frokost / happy hour i nord; og mod syd er Boca Grande. Det har offentlige havne, så du kan trække ind og gå ind i byen for de typiske turistbutikker / butikker, kunstgallerier, vinbarer, du hedder det. Når du er færdig med at udforske, kom tilbage til øen for at slappe af og komme væk fra alt det - og i god tid til at forberede dig noget at drikke, mens du ser solen gå ned over vandet. Vær forberedt på at opdage, at du har sovet sent i din komfortable, king size-seng, fordi der ikke er nogen af de vanlige lyde at vække dig op! Øen har ingen garbage trucks, politi sirener, levering varevogne, biler og deres horn eller græsplæne service med deres blad blæsere. Det eneste, du vil vågne op til, er den smukke strandudsigt - af havruer, havregryn, klitter og sol spejlet vand og bølger. For at du kan maksimere din sjov tid og undgå at skulle lave en købmand, har vi regelmæssigt køleskab / fryser samt to små køleskabe og en lille fryser. Og vi forsøger at levere alle bekvemmelighedsartikler, så du kan gøre det til en ferie, ikke en logistikoperation: Vi har små sæber / shampoo / papirprodukter / trækul til grill / skraldespand / mv. Når du først kommer til øen, kan du sørge for vores concierge at hente dig fra kajen og hjælpe dig med at få alt til huset. Du kan leje en golfvogn på øen for at udforske sandstrækningerne og statsparken midt på øen; eller du kan gå op langs stranden. Øen er omkring 7 miles lang, State Park er <2 miles mod nord. Havskildpadder reden på stranden lige foran vores hjem i løbet af forår og sommer, og du kan være heldig nok til at se dem, eller deres hatchlings som de leder ud i Golfen (i slutningen af sommeren). Næsten meget hver dag ser du delfiner fodring / spiller i farvandet omkring øen. Og nogle gange kommer du over manatees på bugtsiden. Vi har ikke wifi - vi bruger vores mobiltelefoner / hotspots i stedet. Vi har et fjernsyn i hovedafdelingen, der er forbundet med DirecTV. Der er et lille tv i soveværelset med en indbygget dvd-afspiller. Vi tillader ikke adgang til smådækket på øverste etage. Vores hjem er ikke nybyggeri, men det er velholdt, rent, komfortabelt og funktionelt. Hvis du er den slags person, der kan lide et nyt hus til deres ferie / feriested-type indkvartering så fastlandet er en bedre mulighed for dig end LGI. Som vores fotos viser, er vores udendørs decking ikke ny. Det er træ, der har været udsat for sol, sand, salt og regn - så det er ikke helt glat. Strandpromenaden til stranden har ingen rækværk (ligesom alle hus på stranden). Dråben fra begge sider kan være ~ 3ft på den bløde sanddyn nedenfor. Hvis du er den slags person, der anser det som en uacceptabel risiko, så vær venlig at bestille ikke hos os. Men hvis du leder efter den mest afslappende ferie i livet, med spektakulære solnedgange, der vil udfolde sig ikke bare foran dig, men rundt omkring dig, så kunne vores hjem på Little Gasparilla være det, du leder efter! Vi tilbyder renlighed, komfort, bekvemmelighed, klare 180 graders udsigt og et ekstra specielt niveau af privatlivets fred. Hvis det flyder din båd, så glæder vi os til at byde dig velkommen til vores lille stykke paradis!

And interesting and different vacation....Just be prepared for being on a little island
The host is tterrific and accommodating and made this a pleasant stay. Again keep in mind there are no cars/no stores and you really are on an island, not really on Placida. The House is comfortable but does need a little work, the beach beautiful, and the sunsets unsurpassed just be prepared for the solitude.

Relaxing Getaway
Our group of 7 had an amazing experience at the property! Ray was extremely communicative prior to and during our stay; we greatly appreciated his tips for things to do on and around the island. Keep in mind that it is a bit of a walk from the boat dock to the house (so pack lightly!), but Ray had help waiting for us at the dock.
The house was very clean and well stocked, including an excellent array of board games for evenings in.
The beachfront seclusion, gorgeous shells, and amazing views made our long weekend second to none. Thank you for such a relaxing getaway!

The best place in Little Gasparilla Island
We a wonderful week, we already left your house.
We enjoyed Ray’s house a lot. We really liked how comfortable, spacious and full of amenities the home is.
We were impressed by how well maintained is, and all the things Ray makes available to us, not only to make our stay more comfortable, but also for our fun, like the board games and the articles to enjoy on the beach and outside of it.
We have been at Little Gasparilla Island several times in very nice and comfortable houses, but this is by far the best house we have stayed in the island.
Ray, thank you very much for allowing us to share the piece of paradise you have here.

Nice property needs some work
Property location is excellent, eat in porch is ideal. Property needs updating and cleaning. Porches, decks, and railings need to be redone and completed. The railings on the top deck do not exist. Floors under furniture were dusty, drawers in the kitchen were dirty. Home needs a deep cleaning. Overall, we had a good visit once we cleaned a bit and relaxed.

I’m glad you managed to relax! You were stressed when I greeted you. And what you said to me at departure, said a lot about your outlook on life: 'We only had 1 perfect sunset.’ Not sure what meets your criteria for an enjoyable sunset, but I love them all!
As for your comments:
1. As stated in 2 places in our listing - the small upstairs deck is off limits to guests for their safety. That’s why the door to it is locked by a key that I keep.
2. I provide my personal cell number to all guests so that, if anything crops up, they can contact me.
3. We have replaced carpets with wooden floors to improve overall cleanliness. And it's a beach house, so sand inevitably gets tracked in, and when it does every speck is visible.
4. The fact that sand under the sofa stressed you out enough to write about it, proves that you actually had nothing substantial to complain about; and that the house was, in fact, so clean that you had to get under the sofa to find a ‘problem’!
5. Our guests consistently thank us for sharing our kitchen cabinets containing jars and shakers of spices, seasonings, etc. They understand that it’s impossible to clean out those cabinets in between guests and they focus on the positives - convenience and generosity. Putting locks on those cabinets would spare me from complainers, but inconvenience everyone else. I choose to be considerate, as I find our guests generally are too!
6. Our boardwalk has no railings: just like all the other homes on the beach. The sand/dune is ~3 feet below. If you need protection from that risk, then mainland resorts are a better choice for you. Our photos clearly show that the deck boards on it are weathered.
7. The folks who have the best time, sit on our deck to soak in the gorgeous 180 degree view of the water, and to be awed by the sunsets that unfold all around and over them. The person who had the worst time, couldn’t enjoy those same sunsets because he was too busy moaning and complaining about the boardwalk decking/railing!
On that note, the sun's about to set, and however it unfolds, it’s going to be perfect from our deck!

Little Bit of Paradise
The property is awesome! If you are looking for something private, breathtaking, and relaxing, this is the place to go! The house is very comfortable. Everything worked exactly as described. The beach was great with very few people and TONS of seashells. We did rent a boat for a few of the days we were there and it was very convenient coming and going with it from the available docks. We saw lots of dolphins, manatees, birds, etc. The only real downfall to the trip was the amount of bugs, but we were expecting those to be bad. It was just a shame we couldn't sit on the patio more to enjoy the gorgeous sunset views. This place definitely requires a little planning, especially if you don't have a boat, because the water taxi is the only other way on and off and it is not always available. But other than that I would come back here in a heartbeat!

‘Private, breathtaking and relaxing’ is a great combination! The county treats for bugs - sprays and standing water treatment. Once in a while they can flair up though - if there’s been a long series of deluges in quick succession. For those evenings, the screened-in lanai is more relaxing than the deck. Looking forward to welcoming you back.

Paradise if you can unplug!
This house and island was amazing! We stayed for a week and I would go back often if possible! The owner was very easy going and gave plenty of information! The property is beautiful with amazing views on the beach. Getting to the island was stressful at times and touring the island on a golf cart was next to impossible with the big rain puddles, but I could have sat on the porch for weeks and been happy enjoying the view no matter the weather.
The mosquitoes and No-See-Ums were horrible and my wife had to stay inside the last 2 days because she started having a pretty severe reaction to them. Bret mentioned using Avon’s Skin so soft bug guard as a miracle worker for No-See-Ums. Gotta remember that for next time!
Overall, this was an amazing trip and we could have spent the entire time looking for shelling treasures! Beautiful beach, beautiful house, a slice of heaven on earth!

Amazing week on the beach
We had an amazing week at Cocohut! It was me, my wife, our three kids (10, 7, 5), and my father-in-law (62). The house was nearly perfect on the inside. The beds were all very comfortable and everything was incredibly clean. The kitchen was very well stocked with cooking gear, and we enjoyed cooking all our meals at the house. The internet worked well and the smart TV in the living room was great. When it wasn't too muggy, we enjoyed a few meals on the screened in porch, which was lovely. Ray, the homeowner, sent us the most detailed welcome packet that we've ever received from a VRBO host, and his guidance was so helpful in knowing what was provided with the house and what we needed to bring.
The location of the house was amazing. Initially, we were concerned about the walk from the house down to the beach, but it was not a problem and in fact, we ended up liking the separation. The house came with plenty of beach chairs and umbrellas, and the kids found lots of sand toys to play with. The beach was the least crowded we've ever been to in Florida, and there were plenty of times when we had the whole beach to ourselves. The water was generally calm, but on the days with bigger waves, we walked down to the south end of the island where there was a more protected beach on the bay side. Maybe the best part of the beach were the shark's teeth. Our crew collected over 1000 during our stay! We did encounter some sargassum, but not enough to ruin our time on the beach.

Home away from home!
What a view! Perfect location and very private. It practically felt like we had the beach to ourselves. There were 7 of us. My husband and I, 2 daughters and 3 friends all age 13. There was plenty of room in the house for the whole crew, with tons of games, volleyball court, ping pong table, TV and of course Wi-Fi which 13 year olds can’t live without. For my husband and I it was all about unplugging and taking in the beauty all around us. We rented a golf cart to explore the island and also rented a boat for the week from John and Kelly’s Boats LLC. John was great..highly recommend. Had Evan deliver our groceries for us and also take our trash off the island. He was fantastic and well worth the nominal fee! All of this information amongst any other Island info or details about the house you could possibly think of is sent to you before arrival by Ray the owner. He is fabulous!! Incredibly detailed and responsive. Everything went without a hitch! So for the highlight of our trip - we got to watch a tiny baby Loggerhead turtle come out of his nest and make his trek
down to the sea right in our backyard!! It was an experience we will all remember for a lifetime! Can’t leave without mentioning the super cozy beds and pillows! Every one of us slept like babies. You can go wrong with Cocohut for your home away from home.

Fantastic getaway!
We were skeptical about being taken by boat and dropped off on an Island with no car, no grocery store, no shopping. But what an experience that I’d love to do again !! We took a water taxi and was meet by Bret that took us by golf cart to the Coco Hut . We were greeted with open arms by Ray ( The owner) he helped us carry our luggage into the house and did a very helpful walk thru of his beautiful home. We were advised ahead of time to bring all the groceries we would need for our full stay and glad we did! We had planned on leaving one day during our trip to shop and see the sights in town but after we settled in and made it to the beach we never left the island during our whole stay. Wow, what a beautiful quite Island with a wonderful beach. The water was perfect! Even in the heat of the day with the chairs and umbrellas supplied by Ray, the breeze blowing it never felt as hot as the actual temperature. We spent time looking for sand dollars and sharks teeth, and found a lot of both. We saw Manatees, a large school of rays went by with in feet from the beach, porpoises jumping, and many fish swimming around. Having supper on the screen in porch and watching the “spectacular”sunsets, was something we looked forward to each evening. The house was very comfortable with all of the same features we’d have at home with a tv, games, comfortable beds. The kitchen meet our needs very well. The whole vacation was great and made memories we will never forget. This is a great place to go for relaxation and get away from the hustle bustle of real life!!
Thank you Ray for setting us up for a great experience!

Such a gem!
We were looking for a place to relax and find peace during fall break and we found it! The location and beach were fantastic! Ray (property owner) was very kind and hospitable. We arrived early and he brought a lawn chair, 2 umbrellas and sunscreen down to the beach for my son and I while we waited for my husband and daughter to deliver the boat we rented for the week. We rented the boat from John and Kellys and it was easy and prompt. I ordered groceries, the bulkier, heavier items from island grocery delivery and they stocked the house prior to our arrival. We stopped at Publix and picked up more food and brought that over on the water taxi with our luggage. I used the Sherpa to drive us, our luggage and groceries to the home. We ventured to several different dock up to restaurants and while we were on Boca Grande we found another grocery store where we could gather the last couple dinners we needed for the rest of our stay. The kids loved bringing the groceries into the house from the beach off the anchored boat. We experienced the shell excursion and found beautiful shells to bring back home to decorate by our pool. Our family used the kayaks and we brought our own snorkeling gear to use. There were many kid sand toys to play with which kept an 8 and 5 year old happy for the week. The last several days we rented a golf cart from LGI carts and ventured around the island and used the golf cart to take our luggage to the dock upon departure to meet the water taxi. In summary, I would 100% recommend staying in Ray's home and experience the time with no hotel lights, no sounds of any vehicles and a sky full of stars with breathtaking sunsets!! Way to go Ray ;-)

Absolutely AMAZING!
We have been coming to LGI for a few years. This house is exceptional. We had two families - 9 people in total and it fit us perfectly. The 2 master bedroom beds and upstairs beds are VERY comfortable. The downstairs kids bedroom is a converted enclosed porch which worked great for us but if 100% privacy is necessary then this would not work. The beds in that bedroom are just OK- we had a couple of whiny teenagers complain about those beds- but they were grateful to be at the beach, so it was fine. One of the bedrooms (with full bathroom) is located upstairs at the top of a spiral lighthouse type staircase. We had two college girls up there and it was awesome! This could be a possible issue for older/less mobile people (like me!). Everything is in great condition in the house and it was very clean. It had all updated appliances and washer and dryer. No need to bring laundry or dishwashing soap. We all brought stainless steel travel mugs and used the refrigerator filtered water so we didn’t have to buy bottled water this time! Game changer! Screened in porch was a perfect place to watch the sunset and eat dinners. We rented a boat and had a great time watching dolphins. BE SURE to rent a golf cart!! It is a long way to the dock. Also be sure to organize with Brett, who comes with a pickup truck style gator vehicle, to help you the very first day to get all of your stuff to the house. VERY HELPFUL! We loved using the two kayaks that were included and we also rented a paddle board. For the coffee lovers there is a Keurig coffee maker - bring your own coffee pods. There was also an old style coffee maker that could use replacing. The house came with plenty of bedding and towels for the family including beach towels. We loved the Adirondack plastic chairs we could take to the beach. This was an excellent Thanksgiving vacation I would highly recommend Cocohut! We will be back!

Thank you Carolyn. ‘Exceptional’ is what we love to hear. The 4th bedroom has the same, cooling gel, memory foam mattresses that we have throughout the house. We replaced them all at the same time. The 4th bedroom is adjacent to one of the master suites. They both have their own, separate, entry/exit doors from the main living area. There is an adjoining door between the rooms that can be locked, should guests require 100% privacy from those they've decided to share the house with. We don't believe in creating needless landfill by disposing of appliances that are working perfectly, so we won't be replacing the 2nd coffee maker, that we bought earlier this year.

Mike 6/4-611/2022 stay
Ray and his wife have a gorgeous house, both inside and out! Very excellent people!! Never had to call with any issues. Evan delivered our groceries before we arrived, Bret picked us up and dropped us off at the dock, per Ray's recommendation. We went fishing with Captain Jeff Watkins, Anchor's Away Charters, caught over 100 fish including many keepers, great boat, outboard engines and Captain. Fished 20-25 miles offshore. Captain Jeff has one of less than 15 Coast Guard Licenses where you can go out past 9 miles. We rented a boat from Abe's Marina, they dropped off at the dock. Myself, and four young adults 19-23 had a great time. I have been renting beach houses from VRBO for a long time. The "Cocoa Hut" was excellent Mike

Island Adventure
Cocohut was exactly what we were looking for in a family Florida vacation. We were thrilled with the privacy, beauty and wild, natural feel to the island. Cocohut is a perfect beach home. The 3 separate bedroom suites have large comfortable beds and updated bathrooms. The kitchen is stocked with everything a chef needs and we loved the fresh filtered water from the fridge, also, extra refrigerators and freezers let us stock up to minimize grocery runs. We really appreciated the fantastic view of the ocean sunsets and having leisurely breakfasts on the screened porch. We purchased fresh seafood from the mainland and the guys grilled out while the girls made sides while having cocktails.
We ordered the island pizza one night (loved it), and ordered two key lime pies from the pie lady. (a nice treat) Also, loved cruising the island in our 6 person golf cart we rented and exploring the ICW in our rented boat. We had a school of about 12 dolphins put on quite a show around us and we did some fishing on the beach and caught some interesting fish.
Ray is an awesome host! You can tell a lot of thought went into making sure every amenity is there for his guests.
All in all, it was a wonderful memorable vacation for all 3 generations and we all agreed we would come back to Cocohut.
That being said, you are on an island and you need to be up for the limitations.

Unique Vacation
The opportunity to stay on Little Gasparilla Island is truly a unique opportunity. We were so close to so many commercial enterprises, but were able to enjoy the peace & tranquility of a relatively remote
Property. We LOVED the boat only access & golf cart transportation. I realize this may not be everyone’s idea of a relaxing get away, as it is sort of a “working vacation” (meal prep, supply hauling & self reliance), but we found it to be very relaxing & peaceful. 6 friends who love to cook, live for sunsets & wanted to catch up could have not asked for a better location!

Great House
We had an awesome time. The house was perfect for 6 adults and 2 kids. It was very clean, the beds were very comfortable, and the new kitchen was great. The screened in patio was also amazing. Getting there and leaving takes a little time, but once you're there it's perfect.

Om værten
Vært: Ray Smale
We enjoy sharing this special place with others and seeing how it captivates them. We live at the house from Nov - June. We love the solitude, the pristine white sand beach that's fringed with sand dunes and sea oats (not condos/hotels), the clear blue water and the peace and quiet.
Derfor valgte værten dette overnatningssted
Our lot gives you 85 feet of beach front to yourselves plus an extra 225ft of vacant lots on the south side. Most beach front lots on the island are just 75 feet. Out back there is absolutely no overlook from neighbors! The house to the north is 30 ft away, only 1 storey and is shielded by vegetation. The southern end if the island has the quietest section of beach (fewest people) and the homes are properly set back from the beach - so you'll have that deserted island feeling when you're sunbathing, strolling or watching the sunset in front of the house. The floor-to-ceiling windows across the entire beach side deliver infinity, panoramic views. The open plan layout and vaulted ceilings make it feel even more spacious. Cocohut offers: cleanliness, comfort, seclusion and unbelievable, wrap around sunsets - that come to you!
Derfor er dette overnatningssted unikt
- 300ft of beach front to yourselves - Unmatched peace and quiet and seclusion - Opportunities to see turtles nesting on the beach and baby turtles hatching and heading for the water (summer/fall) - Spectacular lanai view and where you'll hear just the sound of the waves and the wind in the palms, free from any road noise whatsoever - With no light pollution you'll see the night sky like never before - Over-sized deck with Adirondack chairs, sun loungers, parasol, ping pong table and BBQ grills - Starlink WiFi - by far the best internet service available on the island! Excellent speed and reliability. There is no fixed cable/fiber optic to the island.
