Incredible experience. Perfect place to get away, detach and unplug. The island and the home have an idyllic vibe. The home was beachy, clean, comfortable and in perfect condition. Well stocked with everything we could need and want. Uncluttered with whitewashed wood and a great mix of beach themed art and decor. Jamie was very helpful with us on our inaugural trip to the island. Looking forward to coming back.

Jamie is amazing as is her place. Fabulous time on LGI! The place was in great shape with outstanding amenities. That's by far the best VRBO stay I have experienced. Great communication from Jamie, the home is well stocked and well kept. I don't worry about giving it such a high rating as I don't want to compete with y'all to stay there next year.

My family of 5 and I (spouse, three kids - 6, 6, 8) stayed here during our spring break and it was absolutely perfect for us. The home is ideally located between the docks and the beach, so we never felt compelled to rent a golf cart - we could walk wherever we needed to go! The house was immaculately clean (which was so very much appreciated); the kitchen was very well stocked with all the items we needed; and the beach items were so nice to have for our multiple daily trips to and from the beach. Jamie was super responsive and insanely helpful for all questions leading up to and during our trip. We would definitely consider renting here again!!

Words fail me for the bliss this home is. There’s everything you could possibly need. Eveything is cozy and warm and perfect. If we need to get granular…the furnishings are perfect, linens are high quality, dishes great, towels are plentiful….honestly it’s the best 3 weeks we have experienced anywhere (and we owned a rental in Turks and Caicos and this put our place to shame with everything it had. We still had things missing even thought we thought we had it all). We will be back for an entire month next year!

Chrystie, Thank you so much for this. Seriously, comments like this mean the world to me. I am very grateful for your business, but also grateful that you recognized the amount of detail and thought that went into stocking and setting up the home. I wanted it to feel comfortable, cozy, welcoming, and fully equipped where you truly could just show up and enjoy your stay without feeling like something was missing. Coming from someone who owned a rental in Turks and Caicos, that compliment honestly says a lot and made my day. We have poured a lot into this place, right down to the linens, dishes, towels, and little details, so hearing that it stood out to you is very rewarding. Thank you again for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review and for taking such great care of the home. I would absolutely love to have you back next year for a full month!

My family and I love the beach. What’s best about this home as we get to share it with other families who have the love for the ocean as well.

Why they chose this property

Which hose this neighborhood because the network of neighbors is amazing. We have both Bay views and a brisk walk to the beach would give us the best of both worlds.

What makes this property unique

Welcome to Beach Hair Don’t Care, your chance to experience a side of Florida that feels like it disappeared years ago. Located on beautiful Little Gasparilla Island near Boca Grande, this hidden gem is only accessible by boat or water taxi, making it the perfect place to unplug, relax, and truly escape everyday life.

What makes our home unique is the location and experience. You are just a short walk, about 100 yards, from a quiet, uncrowded beach where shelling, shark tooth hunting, sunset walks, and peaceful mornings are part of your daily routine. We are also only steps from the bay and dock access, making it a dream location for boaters, fishermen, and anyone who loves life on the water.

Unlike crowded tourist destinations, Little Gasparilla Island has no traffic lights, no high rises, and no busy streets. Here, golf carts, sandy paths, and ocean breezes replace stress and schedules. Whether you are tarpon fishing, boating through the intracoastal, relaxing on the beach, spotting dolphins, or simply enjoying coffee on the porch, this island slows life down in the best way possible.

Our cozy 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom home was designed to feel welcoming, comfortable, and easy to enjoy after a day in the sun. It is perfect for couples, families, fishing trips, or anyone looking for a peaceful getaway that feels private and authentic.

If you are looking for nightlife and crowded attractions, this may not be the place for you. But if you want star filled skies, quiet beaches, fishing adventures, unforgettable sunsets, and the kind of memories that only come from island life, Beach Hair Don’t Care is exactly where you want to be.

Come experience “Old Florida” the way it was meant to be. Once you visit Little Gasparilla Island, you will understand why so many guests come back year after year.
