About this property
Island Getaway, Gulf Front, Hammocks, Kayaks, 3/2, sleeps 6,thousands ft of deck
Gulf of America Beachfront Island Home is a perfect getaway! Enjoy the beach in your front yard and dock your boat on the bay! This three-bed, 2 bath gulf front home has an open floor plan with multiple dining areas both indoor and outdoor. Pocket sliders can be opened to extend the living space and hear the sound of the waves while you sip your morning coffee.
Welcome to LGI- a bridgeless barrier island paradise right next to Boca Grande, FL. While LGI is still recovering, this property has received major renovations since Hurricane Helene. All pictures are current! The home has thousands of feet of composite decking both underneath and beachside of the home. Soak in a beautiful sunset while on the brand new sunning deck with chaise chairs or the screened-in patio. The downstairs patio has multiple sitting areas with couch and chairs, Adirondack chairs, propane fire table and grill, and even outdoor Corn Hole, Checkers/Chess Set and Connect 4 for the kids...or the adults! Toss out all your worries and nap in the deckside hammock. Step down to the beach and enjoy the tranquility of what is often a very secluded beach. LGI boasts beautiful large shells, sand dollars, dolphins, and sea turtles. This home offers a great getaway to unplug with the family and better views can not be found! Strong internet is included! THIS IS A BRIDGELESS, BARRIER ISLAND, which greatly adds to the old Florida charm of your beach vacation! The only connection to the mainland is by boat. A pirate taxi boat service to the island can be ordered- we recommend booking early. Major fishing destination, diving, charters, etc.
Please note that the enclosed lower deck room is private for the owner.
** Dock 69- limitation of boat size is 25 feet or less
** condiments will be there in the refrigerator based on what previous guests have left
We would like to clarify that our VRBO listing is a house, not a hotel or serviced accommodation. While we strive to provide a comfortable and pleasant environment, it's important to note that certain minor issues may occasionally arise during your stay. Examples of such issues can include slight variations in temperature, minor plumbing or electrical inconveniences, or other similar circumstances.
We want to assure you that we have taken all necessary steps to minimize the likelihood of these occurrences, and we will always do our best to address any significant issues promptly. However, we kindly request your understanding that due to the nature of our property, we are unable to offer refunds or compensation for small, non-disruptive matters that are typical of a residential setting.
Rest assured, we are committed to ensuring a delightful experience for all our guests, and our team will be available to assist you with any concerns or questions you may have during your stay. In the fall of 2022, Hurricane Ian hit the island and caused a great deal of damage in fall of 2022. While the island has done major work, you will likely still see remnants like roofing shingles, nails etc off of the major pathways.

Welcome to our beach house! We hope your journey was pleasant and comfortable. Allow us to introduce ourselves to you – we are The Rutherfords, a family of 6 and we love adventures.
Why they chose this property
We purchased this vacation home since we fell in love with Little Gasparilla Island when we visited the island and all the adventures it has to offer.
