Loved all of it
Our family of five had a great time, wish we could have stayed longer. Amenities were great, very nice cookware and kitchen supplies, plenty of beach towels for three boys in and out of the ocean and pool all day, and nice beach chairs, as well as beach toys for our two year old. Property manager checked in via text, to ensure everything was good, and she went out of her way to supply a high chair and pack and play for our little one. There was a lot of ongoing construction on neighboring condos, but it was never a real problem. All the neighbors and contractors at the resort were extremely friendly. Island was great with plentiful wildlife, endless shells, and just great place to get away from the day to day. Hoping to return next year.

About the host

Hosted by Dawn Bokar

Host profile image
We are from northeast Ohio and fell in love with this wonderful, magical paradise the moment we set foot on the island.

We bought It's A Shore Thing in 2023 after Hurricane Ian inflicted significant damage. We and our contractors spent the year rebuilding the unit and put it up for rent in February 2024. As new owners, we don't have a lot of reviews yet, but all have been 5-Star so far and we guarantee yours will be too. We are very responsive and available 24/7 to respond to your needs and concerns in order to ensure a perfect vacation for you and your family.

Why they chose this property

Little Gasparilla Island is a barrier island sitting just a mile or so from the mainland, but with no roads, bridges or cars, there are just sandy paths. IT's a safe, friendly oasis perfect for a couples retreat or family beach vacation.

What makes this property unique

We are situated in a perfect location - away from crowds, but right on the subtropical gulf coast! Our beaches have some of the best shelling and fossilized shark tooth collection you will find anywhere. Our specific unit has one of the best, unobstructed views of the gulf. We are fully renovated with just about everything in the unit being brand new! You'll feel like you own the beach!
