About this property

Hibiscus House! Beach front - pet friendly

This charming beach front house is located on Little Gasparilla Island! No stores, no restaurants, no bars, and no cars!

This charming beach house is located on Little Gasparilla Island, a bridge-less barrier island. No stores, no restaurants, no bars, and no cars! It is the perfect place to relax and unplug!

Watch the beautiful island sunsets on the observation deck, grill and dine on the open air porch, or lounge in the hammock on the screened porch! It is just a few steps away from the beach. The only thing separating the cozy Florida heart pine interior from the ocean breezes are two sets of sliding doors, which lead out to a screened porch and sun deck overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. The open floor concept with high ceilings give the home a very spacious and welcoming feel.

You will need to make an appointment with the water taxi, rent a boat, or bring your own boat. Bringing your own boat? The house has access to a community dock that is perfect for fishing or watching the beautiful sunrise over the Boca Grande Causeway. The dock has a 22ft. maximum and only allows 1 boat per household.

Wonderful property

Been going to LGI for 20+ years now, this was the best property as far as closeness to the beach and access to the boat dock. 50 steps outside the door you are on the beach. Wonderful sun deck, excellent kitchen (fully stocked), very clean and well kept, truly a joy. Amazing views, by far my favorite vacation destination.

We stayed for 10 days at the beautiful Hibiscus House. Amazing views from lower and upper decks. You can see the entire island. Amazing decor and cleanliness. Gift basket with snacks, chocolate, a beach bag and even a toy for our dog. Our favorite house yet!

Lovely Beach Getaway

Hibiscus House was exactly as advertised. Lovely beach home with plenty of amenities. Perfect for 2 couples. Responsive owner. LGI is a unique destination that requires some planning. Be sure to do your homework in advance. Hibiscus House certainly captures the spirit of LGI!

Hibiscus Paradise

Hibiscus House is truly paradise. Our stay was too short. The house is generously outfitted and shows off the best of island life as expressed in the house design and decoration. We couldn't have asked for anything more. You have to be there to appreciate what LGI has to offer. Thank you for allowing us to share your home. We'll be back.

Best views on LGI!

We've stayed at several beachfront homes on LGI and this house has the best views of them all! Absolutely gorgeous to the north and the south. So fun to eat breakfast and watch the dolphins go by right out front. It's a well appointed home with everything that we needed for a comfortable and fun stay. Good lighting, good water pressure, good communication, it hits all the marks. We look forward to staying here again in the future!
