The unit is beautiful, clean, with great views. The bridgeless island is not for everyone- a unique experience of quiet, old Florida. No cars, crowds, stores, or restaurants, and miles of often empty beach. The private ferry runs every hour during the day to enjoy the local restaurants and activities on the mainland. Kristin was a very responsive host.

This condo was recently renovated and the owners have excellent taste. The master bedroom was so comfortable we asked about where it was purchased so we could get this bed for home. Kristin was very easy to work with and answered all our question promptly and thoroughly. Her app of the condo/island was very helpful for information like the ferry schedule, golf cart rentals and local restaurants. You can literally see the Gulf from every room in the Condo and we enjoyed manners from the lanai overlooking the beach. We will rent either this condo or the owners second condo in Placida Beach on one of our next beach vacations.

We loved this rental! Kristin was super helpful from start to finish! It was very clean and comfortable, with a stunning view of Gulf sunsets and dolphins, and both the beach and pool were close and convenient. It was a VERY warm pool! One thing we were not savvy about was the direct impact of the weather on our plans- the wind and fog impacted two of our outing days (we were stranded on the island for the whole day) and we were lucky to have a bit of flexibility and one of our excursions that gave us grace, otherwise we would've lost money due to the ferry being unable to run. This brought about more planning (and some stress). But, overall, the ferry was a fun adventure for our family and we loved the quiet nature of the beach and long beach walks. HIGHLY Recommend!!

Thank you Kim. I loved hosting you and your family! I’m so happy you loved your stay! I also really appreciate you mentioning the weather and ferry experience. Life on a bridgeless barrier island is what makes LGI so peaceful and untouched — but it does mean we’re occasionally at the mercy of weather. Safety always comes first for the ferry captain, and while delays are rare, they can happen. I always recommend building in a little flexibility for excursions when possible, especially during certain weather patterns. So glad it worked out for you to slow down and enjoy the island those day. I hope to welcome you back soon!

Everything was as described. The host, Kristin, was more than accommodating. She even saved our dinner one night by dropping off some things we forgot. If you’re looking for somewhere to just relax, this is the place. Just note, there is some planning ahead involved due to the ferry. All in all, we would definitely stay again.

We absolutely loved our stay! This is the perfect combination of beach access, pool access, privacy, and nature. The home is beautifully, clean, and very well appointed -- you'll feel just like you're at home. We forgot a few things and appreciated a few extra toiletries provided. The laundry is a bonus as well so you can pack light and wash clothing as needed. From watching dolphins, manatees, birds, turtles, lizards to beach combing for shark's teeth and sand dollars, this spot in SWFL has it all. Perfection! We also appreciated the very clear communication from the host so we knew exactly what to expect, and when! Best communication from a host thus far. You won't regret booking this spot, it's A

We have stayed in a lot of vacation rentals, but this is one of the best we’ve ever seen. The condo is beautiful and there were so many thoughtful extras. The views of the ocean and sunsets were amazing. You are only steps away from the beach that we had to ourselves a lot of the time.

We loved our stay in Wasi Mati. The condo is in great condition and the views are hard to beat. The island is quiet and secluded. The heated pool is a big benefit. We took the 15 minute ferry to the mainland each afternoon/evening for dinner at local restaurants. You could just as easily bring food over and make your own food on the island. I would definitely recommend this condo for anyone looking for a quiet beach stay!

Can’t wait to go back
We’ve being going to LGI since I was a kid back in 2003 and now I’m going with my kids. It has become a family tradition and Wasi Mati was the best condo we’ve stayed in on the island. Recently remodeled, it is immaculate. We cannot wait to go back! The only complaints are out of the owners hands honestly and those are:Make sure you bring bug spray or the mosquitos will be a nuisance even more than usual. Pack as little as you can get away with. There are no more carts to help you lug your things from the ferry to the condo so it can get tiring (and very sweaty). Other than that, it’s a 10/10 stay and experience. I miss it already :(

Thank you Nem for the wonderful review. I loved hosting you and your sweet family!
Just a quick note to others on the carts... Temporarily (the remainder of 2025) our utility carts are not available as we are using the privately owned dock next door while our dock undergoes a full reconstruction (the private homeowners do not want our community's black utility carts cluttering up their property, which is understandable). We recommend all guests hire Brett's Island Taxi (contact info provided in our digital guidebook) for help with your supplies, or you can also bring your own folding utility cart if that's convenient. For your next trip, Nem, you'll be using our brand new dock and our utility carts again:)

We couldn’t have been happier with the condo and the owner. We arrived just as tropical storm Debby was forming. Kristin worked with us and was even willing to change our dates to accommodate. Then we got to the island and the listing didn’t do it justice. My family started this was the nicest place we’d ever stayed at. My son and son in law really enjoyed the beach and then fishing in the harbor. It was exactly what I wanted to celebrate my birthday. The place really is paradise.

This was a wonderful vacation place for my family. I was with my adult kids and toddler grandson. LGI has been one of our most favorite places for 16 years. This is the first time we’ve stayed at Kristen‘s condo. Everything was so clean, spacious and luxurious with plenty of room for six people. From start to finish, Kristen was very helpful and accommodating for our family. She provided excellent pre-trip information and responded very quickly to any questions we had during our stay. She even allowed us a late check-out since the condo wasn’t being rented again the same day.

Wow! The island was beautiful and peaceful. The views from the condo were breathtaking! Everyone enjoyed and looked forward to the sunsets. Not a single store on the island, no roads or traffic, and even with storm repairs happening it was still quiet and disconnected from the busy world. Our boys loved snorkeling for conks and sand dollars, picking up shells on the beach, fishing, and playing in the sand. It felt like we had the entire beach to ourselves! The locals!!! I cannot say enough about how absolutely amazing the locals were. Some of the nicest people we’ve ever met on a vacation. EVERYONE treated each other with such kindness and respect! Our captain and his wife were so great, they felt like family. The only cons of this trip were things that will only take time to fix and everyone was working hard to restore!

Best property on the island!
Seriously can’t say enough great things about Kristin’s property! First of all, she was such a lovely host. She went out of her way to be available to me and was super clear/thorough in her communications. I especially loved her helpful digital guidebook app.
I’ve been coming to the island for years and this property is by far the nicest available. It’s sparkling clean, completely renovated, and very luxurious. I felt like I was staying in a 5 star hotel! Kristin has really thought through every detail down to the hotel slippers that were waiting for us (and we got to take home!), and the coffee bar with local Florida coffee and tropical tea blends!
The property is directly on the beach and there were incredible views from literally every room.
This was my first time staying at a condo on the island and the extra amenities made “island life” much easier. Gated parking, ferry access, pool and trash pickup were major luxuries compared to my previous stays on the island.
I’ll definitely be staying at Kristin’s property again (already booked for next year!).

À propos de l’hôte
Hôte : Kristin Varela-Schild
Hi There! We’re Kristin and Chris
Our island adventure goes all the way back to our elopement on a small island in the Indian Ocean. Hoping to recreate that same sense of bliss a little closer to home (Colorado), we discovered Little Gasparilla Island many years ago. We purchased a large home on the south end of the island to form memories with our daughters when they were young (some of you may have enjoyed our Ukuthula House). When our little shorebirds flew the coop, we decided we wanted an easier and lower maintenance island life. We honed in on the Placida Beach Condos as they tend to be quieter and more upscale feeling than other options on LGI. Side note: When I texted my daughters the first time I had the “luxury” of not having to haul my own trash off the island, they said I was “cheating” and “being bougie” LOL!
We have traveled all over the world (Chris is from South Africa, and I have spent the bulk of my career traveling to world-class resorts). While we love the barefoot tranquility of LGI, we do appreciate a beautiful place to stay. I’m taking my 28 years of real estate investing experience, mixed with a long career of being wined and dined in some of the nicest hotels around the world and infusing just a tiny bit of both into our two new breathtaking LGI condos.
If you’re looking for that perfect blend of a low-key LGI immersion mixed with a more upscale island accommodation (not to mention coveted complimentary ferry and trash service), you’ve found your new home away from home!
*I manage every detail of our properties personally and want to make sure they’re a great fit for you and you’re a great fit for our lovely island neighbors.
Happy Island Dreaming,
Kristin
Voici pourquoi l’hôte a choisi cet hébergement
We wanted to experience a slightly easier version of LGI and searched high and low for the perfect condo that includes parking, ferry service, and trash pickup... Since we couldn’t decide between our favorite view, beach or bay, we decided to buy one of each! Chris and I love a good renovation project, so we’ve been living in (and redecorating) our bayfront unit ("Thula Mati" - Zulu for Calm Water) while fully renovating the beachfront unit: a total gut job (not an easy feat on a bridgeless barrier island).
Voici ce qui rend cet hébergement unique
If you've been to LGI before you know what a treat it is to have amenities! Safe, gated mainland parking, hourly ferry service, trash service, and... oh yeah... did I mention our HEATED FRESHWATER POOL!!?? Our unit has been fully renovated (2023) and is the perfect retreat for the discerning guest who wants to experience LGI with a touch of luxury.
