This house was perfect for our family! The house is beautiful inside and out & just steps away from the beach. Ray was extremely helpful and responsive with any questions we had. We will definitely be returning!

Nothing better than waking up to a view like this, a private walk to an almost private beach. Just what the doctor ordered!

And interesting and different vacation....Just be prepared for being on a little island
The host is tterrific and accommodating and made this a pleasant stay. Again keep in mind there are no cars/no stores and you really are on an island, not really on Placida. The House is comfortable but does need a little work, the beach beautiful, and the sunsets unsurpassed just be prepared for the solitude.

Relaxing Getaway
Our group of 7 had an amazing experience at the property! Ray was extremely communicative prior to and during our stay; we greatly appreciated his tips for things to do on and around the island. Keep in mind that it is a bit of a walk from the boat dock to the house (so pack lightly!), but Ray had help waiting for us at the dock.
The house was very clean and well stocked, including an excellent array of board games for evenings in.
The beachfront seclusion, gorgeous shells, and amazing views made our long weekend second to none. Thank you for such a relaxing getaway!

The best place in Little Gasparilla Island
We a wonderful week, we already left your house.
We enjoyed Ray’s house a lot. We really liked how comfortable, spacious and full of amenities the home is.
We were impressed by how well maintained is, and all the things Ray makes available to us, not only to make our stay more comfortable, but also for our fun, like the board games and the articles to enjoy on the beach and outside of it.
We have been at Little Gasparilla Island several times in very nice and comfortable houses, but this is by far the best house we have stayed in the island.
Ray, thank you very much for allowing us to share the piece of paradise you have here.

Little Bit of Paradise
The property is awesome! If you are looking for something private, breathtaking, and relaxing, this is the place to go! The house is very comfortable. Everything worked exactly as described. The beach was great with very few people and TONS of seashells. We did rent a boat for a few of the days we were there and it was very convenient coming and going with it from the available docks. We saw lots of dolphins, manatees, birds, etc. The only real downfall to the trip was the amount of bugs, but we were expecting those to be bad. It was just a shame we couldn't sit on the patio more to enjoy the gorgeous sunset views. This place definitely requires a little planning, especially if you don't have a boat, because the water taxi is the only other way on and off and it is not always available. But other than that I would come back here in a heartbeat!

Paradise if you can unplug!
This house and island was amazing! We stayed for a week and I would go back often if possible! The owner was very easy going and gave plenty of information! The property is beautiful with amazing views on the beach. Getting to the island was stressful at times and touring the island on a golf cart was next to impossible with the big rain puddles, but I could have sat on the porch for weeks and been happy enjoying the view no matter the weather.
The mosquitoes and No-See-Ums were horrible and my wife had to stay inside the last 2 days because she started having a pretty severe reaction to them. Bret mentioned using Avon’s Skin so soft bug guard as a miracle worker for No-See-Ums. Gotta remember that for next time!
Overall, this was an amazing trip and we could have spent the entire time looking for shelling treasures! Beautiful beach, beautiful house, a slice of heaven on earth!

Amazing week on the beach
We had an amazing week at Cocohut! It was me, my wife, our three kids (10, 7, 5), and my father-in-law (62). The house was nearly perfect on the inside. The beds were all very comfortable and everything was incredibly clean. The kitchen was very well stocked with cooking gear, and we enjoyed cooking all our meals at the house. The internet worked well and the smart TV in the living room was great. When it wasn't too muggy, we enjoyed a few meals on the screened in porch, which was lovely. Ray, the homeowner, sent us the most detailed welcome packet that we've ever received from a VRBO host, and his guidance was so helpful in knowing what was provided with the house and what we needed to bring.
The location of the house was amazing. Initially, we were concerned about the walk from the house down to the beach, but it was not a problem and in fact, we ended up liking the separation. The house came with plenty of beach chairs and umbrellas, and the kids found lots of sand toys to play with. The beach was the least crowded we've ever been to in Florida, and there were plenty of times when we had the whole beach to ourselves. The water was generally calm, but on the days with bigger waves, we walked down to the south end of the island where there was a more protected beach on the bay side. Maybe the best part of the beach were the shark's teeth. Our crew collected over 1000 during our stay! We did encounter some sargassum, but not enough to ruin our time on the beach.

Home away from home!
What a view! Perfect location and very private. It practically felt like we had the beach to ourselves. There were 7 of us. My husband and I, 2 daughters and 3 friends all age 13. There was plenty of room in the house for the whole crew, with tons of games, volleyball court, ping pong table, TV and of course Wi-Fi which 13 year olds can’t live without. For my husband and I it was all about unplugging and taking in the beauty all around us. We rented a golf cart to explore the island and also rented a boat for the week from John and Kelly’s Boats LLC. John was great..highly recommend. Had Evan deliver our groceries for us and also take our trash off the island. He was fantastic and well worth the nominal fee! All of this information amongst any other Island info or details about the house you could possibly think of is sent to you before arrival by Ray the owner. He is fabulous!! Incredibly detailed and responsive. Everything went without a hitch! So for the highlight of our trip - we got to watch a tiny baby Loggerhead turtle come out of his nest and make his trek
down to the sea right in our backyard!! It was an experience we will all remember for a lifetime! Can’t leave without mentioning the super cozy beds and pillows! Every one of us slept like babies. You can go wrong with Cocohut for your home away from home.

Fantastic getaway!
We were skeptical about being taken by boat and dropped off on an Island with no car, no grocery store, no shopping. But what an experience that I’d love to do again !! We took a water taxi and was meet by Bret that took us by golf cart to the Coco Hut . We were greeted with open arms by Ray ( The owner) he helped us carry our luggage into the house and did a very helpful walk thru of his beautiful home. We were advised ahead of time to bring all the groceries we would need for our full stay and glad we did! We had planned on leaving one day during our trip to shop and see the sights in town but after we settled in and made it to the beach we never left the island during our whole stay. Wow, what a beautiful quite Island with a wonderful beach. The water was perfect! Even in the heat of the day with the chairs and umbrellas supplied by Ray, the breeze blowing it never felt as hot as the actual temperature. We spent time looking for sand dollars and sharks teeth, and found a lot of both. We saw Manatees, a large school of rays went by with in feet from the beach, porpoises jumping, and many fish swimming around. Having supper on the screen in porch and watching the “spectacular”sunsets, was something we looked forward to each evening. The house was very comfortable with all of the same features we’d have at home with a tv, games, comfortable beds. The kitchen meet our needs very well. The whole vacation was great and made memories we will never forget. This is a great place to go for relaxation and get away from the hustle bustle of real life!!
Thank you Ray for setting us up for a great experience!

Such a gem!
We were looking for a place to relax and find peace during fall break and we found it! The location and beach were fantastic! Ray (property owner) was very kind and hospitable. We arrived early and he brought a lawn chair, 2 umbrellas and sunscreen down to the beach for my son and I while we waited for my husband and daughter to deliver the boat we rented for the week. We rented the boat from John and Kellys and it was easy and prompt. I ordered groceries, the bulkier, heavier items from island grocery delivery and they stocked the house prior to our arrival. We stopped at Publix and picked up more food and brought that over on the water taxi with our luggage. I used the Sherpa to drive us, our luggage and groceries to the home. We ventured to several different dock up to restaurants and while we were on Boca Grande we found another grocery store where we could gather the last couple dinners we needed for the rest of our stay. The kids loved bringing the groceries into the house from the beach off the anchored boat. We experienced the shell excursion and found beautiful shells to bring back home to decorate by our pool. Our family used the kayaks and we brought our own snorkeling gear to use. There were many kid sand toys to play with which kept an 8 and 5 year old happy for the week. The last several days we rented a golf cart from LGI carts and ventured around the island and used the golf cart to take our luggage to the dock upon departure to meet the water taxi. In summary, I would 100% recommend staying in Ray's home and experience the time with no hotel lights, no sounds of any vehicles and a sky full of stars with breathtaking sunsets!! Way to go Ray ;-)

Absolutely AMAZING!
We have been coming to LGI for a few years. This house is exceptional. We had two families - 9 people in total and it fit us perfectly. The 2 master bedroom beds and upstairs beds are VERY comfortable. The downstairs kids bedroom is a converted enclosed porch which worked great for us but if 100% privacy is necessary then this would not work. The beds in that bedroom are just OK- we had a couple of whiny teenagers complain about those beds- but they were grateful to be at the beach, so it was fine. One of the bedrooms (with full bathroom) is located upstairs at the top of a spiral lighthouse type staircase. We had two college girls up there and it was awesome! This could be a possible issue for older/less mobile people (like me!). Everything is in great condition in the house and it was very clean. It had all updated appliances and washer and dryer. No need to bring laundry or dishwashing soap. We all brought stainless steel travel mugs and used the refrigerator filtered water so we didn’t have to buy bottled water this time! Game changer! Screened in porch was a perfect place to watch the sunset and eat dinners. We rented a boat and had a great time watching dolphins. BE SURE to rent a golf cart!! It is a long way to the dock. Also be sure to organize with Brett, who comes with a pickup truck style gator vehicle, to help you the very first day to get all of your stuff to the house. VERY HELPFUL! We loved using the two kayaks that were included and we also rented a paddle board. For the coffee lovers there is a Keurig coffee maker - bring your own coffee pods. There was also an old style coffee maker that could use replacing. The house came with plenty of bedding and towels for the family including beach towels. We loved the Adirondack plastic chairs we could take to the beach. This was an excellent Thanksgiving vacation I would highly recommend Cocohut! We will be back!

Ray and his wife have a gorgeous house, both inside and out! Very excellent people!! Never had to call with any issues. Evan delivered our groceries before we arrived, Bret picked us up and dropped us off at the dock, per Ray's recommendation. We went fishing with Captain Jeff Watkins, Anchor's Away Charters, caught over 100 fish including many keepers, great boat, outboard engines and Captain. Fished 20-25 miles offshore. Captain Jeff has one of less than 15 Coast Guard Licenses where you can go out past 9 miles. We rented a boat from Abe's Marina, they dropped off at the dock. Myself, and four young adults 19-23 had a great time. I have been renting beach houses from VRBO for a long time. The "Cocoa Hut" was excellent Mike

Island Adventure
Cocohut was exactly what we were looking for in a family Florida vacation. We were thrilled with the privacy, beauty and wild, natural feel to the island. Cocohut is a perfect beach home. The 3 separate bedroom suites have large comfortable beds and updated bathrooms. The kitchen is stocked with everything a chef needs and we loved the fresh filtered water from the fridge, also, extra refrigerators and freezers let us stock up to minimize grocery runs. We really appreciated the fantastic view of the ocean sunsets and having leisurely breakfasts on the screened porch. We purchased fresh seafood from the mainland and the guys grilled out while the girls made sides while having cocktails.
We ordered the island pizza one night (loved it), and ordered two key lime pies from the pie lady. (a nice treat) Also, loved cruising the island in our 6 person golf cart we rented and exploring the ICW in our rented boat. We had a school of about 12 dolphins put on quite a show around us and we did some fishing on the beach and caught some interesting fish.
Ray is an awesome host! You can tell a lot of thought went into making sure every amenity is there for his guests.
All in all, it was a wonderful memorable vacation for all 3 generations and we all agreed we would come back to Cocohut.
That being said, you are on an island and you need to be up for the limitations.

Unique Vacation
The opportunity to stay on Little Gasparilla Island is truly a unique opportunity. We were so close to so many commercial enterprises, but were able to enjoy the peace & tranquility of a relatively remote
Property. We LOVED the boat only access & golf cart transportation. I realize this may not be everyone’s idea of a relaxing get away, as it is sort of a “working vacation” (meal prep, supply hauling & self reliance), but we found it to be very relaxing & peaceful. 6 friends who love to cook, live for sunsets & wanted to catch up could have not asked for a better location!

Ray and his son were so sweet to share their property with us! We take family vacations every year and decided to do something different and we are so glad we did. This was perfect! We loved being beach bums, kayaking RIGHT NEXT to dolphins and seeing crabs and turtle nests. Thanks again Ray! We may have to make this a yearly tradition.

オーナー : Ray Smale
We enjoy sharing this special place with others and seeing how it captivates them. When we get the chance to be there ourselves, we instantly relax, and we don't want to leave. We love the solitude, the pristine white sand beach that's fringed with sand dunes and sea oats (not condos/hotels), the clear blue water and the peace and quiet.
この宿泊施設のオーナーになった理由
The lot gives you 100 feet of beach front to yourselves. Most beach front lots on the island are 75 feet. With no neighbors on your south side you get an extra 150ft of seclusion and peace and quiet. Out back there is absolutely no overlook from neighbors! The house to the north is 30 ft away, only 1 storey and is shielded by vegetation. The southern end if the island has the quietest section of beach (fewest people) and the homes are properly set back from the beach - so you'll have that deserted island feeling when you're sunbathing, strolling or watching the sunset in front of the house. The floor-to-ceiling windows across the entire beach side deliver infinity, panoramic views. The open plan layout and vaulted ceilings make it feel even more spacious. Cocohut offers: cleanliness, comfort, seclusion and unbelievable, wrap around sunsets - that come to you!
この宿泊施設の特徴
- 250ft of beach front to yourselves - Unmatched peace and quiet and seclusion - Opportunities to see turtles nesting on the beach and baby turtles hatching and heading for the water (summer/fall) - Spectacular lanai view and where you'll hear just the sound of the waves and the wind in the palms, free from any road noise whatsoever - With no light pollution you'll see the night sky like never before - Beach volleyball, badminton, ping pong and loads of board games - Starlink WiFi - by far the best internet service available on the island! Excellent speed and reliability. There is no fixed cable/fiber optic to the island.
