About the host
Hosted by Maday Leon
“Hi there! We are Maday and Ricardo, originally from Cuba but have lived in Florida for 30 years. We discovered Little Gasparilla Island on our 28-anniversary trip in 2018 and fell in love with the island. Then, we found this house, did an extensive renovation, and decided to share our cozy cottage with other families. We have two adult children and grandkids who love spending time here. Our hobbies are traveling and spending time with the family.
We are looking forward to hearing from you! I’ll do my best to make your stay comfortable and help you enjoy this magical place to the fullest! Feel free to contact me with any questions regarding my listing.”
Why they chose this property
The most unique attribute of Little Gasparilla is its lack of a bridge. All access is by private boat or water taxi. There are no roads and no cars, and traffic and tourists are just a mainland memory. The island offers 7 miles of beautiful pristine beach unspoiled by either seawalls or high-rises. During the summer, the beach is a nesting spot for endangered sea turtles which lay their eggs in the warm sand near the dunes.
The shells on the island are among the most plentiful on the West Coast and the beaches are dotted with prehistoric shark's teeth free for collecting. The best time to go shelling is just before and at low tide and after a storm. Be sure to check the high tide lines where the surf often tosses the largest shells. The sandbars are home to sand dollars, whelks, starfish and conchs.
Mostly, Little Gasparilla offers privacy and tranquility and a rare sense of peace not found at many Florida vacation spots.
What makes this property unique
Many days you can walk the beach for hours without seeing another soul. Golf cart rentals are available on the island for scenic tours, but many people prefer to walk the sandy pathways.
All of the beaches on Little Gasparilla Island are privately owned by the homeowners up to the high-water line. There are no golf carts allowed on the beach.
Bird watchers will spot egret and osprey, rare white pelicans, blue herons, and even the occasional bald eagle. The waters are rich with manatees and dolphins and the waves are gentle and calming and perfect for floating on a raft. The bottom is mostly white sand, so there is little to see while snorkeling...though you can often find sand dollars off the sand bar.
Fishing from either the dock or the beach can provide daily entertainment -- and a hearty meal depending on your luck...and at the end of a long day, a breathtaking sunset over the Gulf of Mexico gently eases you into the evening.
