Key2TheSea: Tropical treehouse with lots of decks, porches and privacy!

Summary:
This charming tropical treehouse sits amidst the treetops on Jolly Roger Trail near the south end of Little Gasparilla Island. Little Gasparilla is a bridgeless barrier island so plan to leave your car and your cares on the mainland and step into a beautiful tropical environment. It is a short walk to miles of uncrowded beaches. Use the complimentary kayaks to explore the bay or gulf!

The Space:
The home offers plenty of room for everyone to spread out, with spacious bedrooms that open to the screened porch and a large air conditioned living area. The master bedroom on its own side of the house has an en suite bath with shower and a private deck opening to the fresh air. The bedroom has a king bed and French doors that open to the screened porch. The second bedroom offers two twin beds and also has French doors that open to the porch.

The kitchen has seating for 4 on the kitchen island, and has stainless appliances and all the dishes and cookware you need.

The front porch extends the width of the house and nearly doubles the living area of the house. It is spacious and breezy, and very private you may glimpse a golf cart pass by on Jolly Rojer Trail, but this house is nestled in the treetop for lots of peace, quiet and privacy,

The home offers access to a dock slip if you bring or rent your own boat. (One per home, 24 ft. maximum.). If you get dropped off by the water taxi, you can be dropped at Dock 75 on Rum Runner. Both docks are just a short walk to the house. Free kayaks are available if you wish to explore the bay. Please note that golf cart shown in photos does NOT come with the house but we provide contact information for the local cart rental shop when you book. The owner also includes beach towels and beach chairs for their guests' use.

There is a covered back porch at the back of the house with views of the treetops. It makes a lovely spot from which to have morning coffee. There is another open porch off the master bedroom perfect for private sunbathing or relaxing in the sunshine on a January day.

The best feature of this home is the peace and privacy it affords. Set back from the road, on a quiet seldom-traveled pathway, Key2TheSea offers a great spot for a peaceful quiet vacation with the beautiful beaches and great fishing of Little Gasparilla just a short stroll away. The beautiful beach is about a 4-5 minute walk from the house.

Other Things to Note:
Please evaluate your expectations before booking a stay on Little Gasparilla Island. If you are expecting a polished "resort" atmosphere, Little Gasparilla is decidedly more rustic. During periods of heavy rain or tropical storms, there may be standing water on the roadways, at the dock and around the house. This is a tropical environment with mosquitos, rust, power outages and other minor inconveniences. If you are expecting resort amenities and services, the island might not be for you.

You can not drive to the island. You must bring a boat or use the local water taxi.
