We have been coming to the island for 15 years and this is the best place we've stayed. Full of charm from the previous owners with mementos and antiques as the decor. Don't expect perfection, but do plan to fall in love with the character of this house.We have already made our reservations for next year.

Amazing Beach Getaway
Everything about this place was amazing! Views were great and the beach is right out your back door. The property manager (Terry) is great about providing valuable information to make life easy during your stay. Absolutely will come back and would highly recommend to others.

Amazing Holiday Destination
My family converged to the island from four states. We played, we walked, we shared, we ate, we laughed during our stay. The house had its own character and we felt at home. This was a much needed restful escape from out very stressful lives.

The perfect vacation !!
Coconut Hideaway was absolutely fabulous! The house is filled with really cool decor. The kitchen has everything you need. The view from every window is wonderful. We were able to completely relax and enjoy our week. We found beautiful shells on the beach, watched the sunset every night and relaxed in a hammock on the porch.

Our family got to experience a little slice of heaven on this quaint breath taking island. It was the most peaceful relaxing vacation we have ever taken. We actually shopped for a vacation home while we their because we feel in love with the setting and people that live there. I can't think of a better way to have spent the new year. I miss the home on the ocean already! We will be back.

This is our second time staying in the Gaines Home. Our son recently graduated from College and the only thing he asked for was a week at Coconut Hideway! Well, that was just fine with us...we LOVE it there!
Everything about this home is perfect!! Location, decor, fishing, sunset, beach, the list goes on and on!
A Million Thanks! Can't wait till next year!

We always enjoy our island stay!
The view and location of this home is the great with it being ocean front. Getting up in the morning and sitting on the screened-in porch with a fresh cup of coffee listening to the ocean is the best! The cleanliness of the home was not good, we had to clean before fully moving in. The deck rails are not safe at all! We probably will not choose to stay at this home again with our small grandchildren.

Paradise perfected
My boyfriend and I spent four glorious days at this beautiful beach house. It is perfectly located and was just steps from the beach. The home itself was lovely and beautifully furnished and met all our needs. Everything we needed to know about the house and activities on the Island were well explained and easy to understand. We enjoyed looking at the art and antiques inside the home and the view from the deck was a perfect way to wake up each morning. There's nothing like having your morning coffee while facing white sands and blue waves. We spent most of our day at the beach searching for shells, swimming and enjoying the weather. Unlike other beaches, this one was peaceful and private. We couldn't have asked for a more relaxing vacation.

Gasparilla Paradise!
Stayed here w/ my family which includes a 6 month old. It was such an easy trip! Didn't need to mess w/ the stroller or pack n play on the plane - we didn't need the stroller all week and this rental has a pack n play. The water was like bath water and the waves were so calm, the baby loved it! The breeze was cool by the beach, so baby could stay out all day back n forth between the water and on a blanket under an umbrella in the shade. The beach was also not crowded at all! The house has all the conveniences of home and is tastefully decorated with unique antiques. Very comfortable. It was a great week!

unsure of an island rental - do it!
First time here and I fell in love with the island and Coconut Hideaway home. Everything that I was hesitant about, the water taxi, bringing my own food, having enough to do - turned into a positive. First, the water taxi is just a fun adventure. Bringing our own food, meant we saved money and ate what and whenever we wanted to ( you can always take the water taxi into town. Recommend South Beach restaurant ). Plus, the panty at Coconut Hideaway is stocked with anything you may have forgotten. No need to buy condiments, rice, olive oil, dish soap... Lastly, will you have enough to do? well, that's the beauty of it. You will sleep like a baby with the waves lulling you to sleep, walk the beaches, read, talk, play the piano, rent a gulf cart to explore the island. This place is heavenly. We will return!

Fantastic Property!
The ocean is just steps away, with an amazing outdoor shower. This place has thought of pretty much everything that you could want, the little touches are totally there. The pantry and amenities in the house are amazing! The ocean had a few waves and when there weren't waves it was so incredibly clear. So many shells and shark teeth to find as well! There is also a small tie-up right off the beach for a kayak which was super fun as a water base station for the little ones. The maintenance staff is amazing, I mentioned that one of the steps was a little loose and they fixed it right then.
The only two things that I wish I had known is that all of the stairs in the house are slot style- just a little scary for little ones (but they do have a gate provided). The path that you have on the property to get to the beach is a communal path, and the maintenance staff headwaters is under the house - so there are people and off limits spaces under the house. It also means that sometimes you do not get a beach space right in front of the house you rented. I want to stress it wasn't bad- just something I would have preferred to know.

PARADISE AND THEN SOME!
Honestly, having booked Coconut Hideaway many months in advance provided me ample opportunity to read all the reviews and do all sorts of research about the island, surrounding area, and the house itself-all part of the fun and anticipation! So that said, when I finally arrived with my family I almost felt like I had already been there before, but this place totally lived up to my expectations and so much more. I could go on and on about what an amazing retreat Buddy and Laurie have spent years of their lives developing but one only needs to read all of the favorable reviews, It's all been said in so many ways when describing the beauty and uniqueness of this special place. It really is hard to put into words just how cool of an experience it is to stay here, you really have to actually experience it to fully understand.
If what you are looking for is an extremely unique vacation experience-possibly like none you have ever had, and want nothing more than to unplug and relax then this is the place. If you are looking for beach bars, night clubs, and commercial attractions then maybe you might think about that before you consider an island vacation. For me and my family this was heaven on an island beach! With all of the dedication that has gone into creating this very special place, this is so much more than just another run-of-the-mill vacation rental to Buddy and Laurie, this is their home. You have to spend some time here surrounded by all that has gone into this place to grasp it...to feel it-and you do feel it. So thanks so much for letting us enjoy your home away from home! My only regret is the same expressed by so many others...I only wish we could have stayed longer! Next time!

Old vintage beach cottage
I am a professional interior designer in Atlanta for many years.
So what others might feel is old, cluttered, and a little in disrepair, We found charming. The owners obviously were collectors for many years, two of the bedrooms were nice with comfortable beds. Loved the porches and listening to the crashing of waves . The house was beachfront so we could enjoy sunsets from our porch . Lovely and relaxing. That being said, the home could use some attention.

Quiet regroup
A little confusing directions on getting to the island and after that all we really enjoyed our very chill stay! The home was eclectically decorated which made for a relaxed and comfortable stay. The internet was hit or miss, thus it was very good that we had great cell phone coverage. My only complaint is that there wasn’t a good coffee maker to be found.
It was the perfect spot to unwind from our way too hectic lives.
Thank you!!

Absolutely Whimsical
Our stay at Coconut Hideaway did not disappoint. Let me start by saying this house is older, but do NOT let this deter you. It has so much character, charm, so many many stories to tell; you can just feel the love that has filled this place. There are trinkets from all over the world, just an amazingly unique touch. If that wasn't enough it also emits a warm and cozy ambiance, you will seriously feel as if you are visiting friends or family, the house is so inviting. The hard wood floors are absolutely beautiful and the high vaulted wood ceiling and beams are gorgeous. It is situated steps away from the beach with plenty of outdoor lounging areas to pick from. The beach has community chairs and even coming at the end of May most days in the afternoon we had the beach pretty much to ourselves. Little Gasparilla Island is definitely a hidden gem. Thank you so much for allowing us to enjoy your little slice of Heaven.

Heaven on earth
Our family has stayed at this property many times. Each time we come back we can’t wait to hang out on the out door porch overlooking the Gulf of Mexico and enjoy the peace and quite and beauty of this island. This house is AMAZING and feels like home. I highly recommend this home. You will get hooked on the charm of Little Gasparilla and return. Special thanks to Laurie and Buddy for sharing their home with us!

オーナー : Little Gasparilla Vacation Rentals
Buddy was a motion picture director in LA -- but originally from Florida -- and Laurie was a marketing executive in Chicago. We moved back to Florida in 1985 when we finished Coconut Hideaway! When we retired, we became antique dealers and traveled the world collecting unique and eclectic mementos for our beach house. The house is filled with antiques and artwork and things we love. Now we enjoy sharing this very special island with our friends, family and guests!
この宿泊施設のオーナーになった理由
As a native Floridian, I found Little Gasparilla Island most closely resembled the Florida I grew up in years ago.....no high-rises on the beach, no traffic-clogged roads and few tourists. Many days you can walk on the beach without seeing another soul....we also love the natural environment, the beautiful clean beaches and the lack of unsightly seawalls. We love being able to bring our dogs to the beach with us and watching them enjoy the water as much as we do. Island neighbors are friendly and welcoming and always willing to help out! Little Gasparilla is a mystical island for us and we never tire of spending time here with family and friends.
この宿泊施設の特徴
Buddy's parents met in a beach house on Indian Rocks Beach back in the 1920s. Coconut Hideaway represents our attempt to create that classic Old-Florida beach environment. It was designed and built by us based on the things we love to live with....antique cupboards rather than typical kitchen cupboards, antique light fixtures, hardwood floors, high ceilings, lots of ceiling fans and large, open rooms. (It is far from new and modern!) Our home is warm and comfortable and totally unique, fully stocked with virtually everything you need for a fun family vacation...including sunscreen, bug spray, beach umbrella, boogie boards and rafts. Our palm-thatched tiki hut offers a sheltered spot when winter's breezes are a bit chilly and a cool respite from the midday sun. The home is spacious enough for a large family, but cozy and romantic for a couple. Our colorful handmade hammocks from Central America allow you to fully enjoy the tropical breezes and -- best of all -- we have spectacular views of the Gulf from nearly every room in the house. You can listen to the waves every night when your head hits the pillow! Extras include wireless internet access, a piano, a library, a large HDTV with satellite and TIVO, access to our fully stocked pantry, movies and CD's and lots of beach toys. We have central air conditioning for those still summer nights, but we often prefer to turn off the AC, open the doors and let the balmy tropical breezes flow through the house! When we feel those breezes, we know that we are truly in heaven.
