A piece of paradise
Although the work of actually getting to the island was more than we anticipated, the cottage was exactly what we were looking for- a quiet, private vacation with a spectacular ocean view that is also pet friendly This place is a treasure.

peaceful and comfortable beach getaway
Location was perfect, beach cottage is perfect for a peaceful getaway. Well appointed, has all the furnishings, laundry and kitchen appliances, pots and pans etc needed. Comfortable to lounge around inside, on the screened porch with a beautiful view of the ocean and sounds of the waves and ospreys, or down stairs in the hammock to enjoy the cool shade.
Loved it!

Cute Little Hideaway
What a great little “old Florida” getaway. Beautiful views and and beautiful water! Well appointed inside , beds and bedding comfy!
First impression was not welcoming, but nothing a little TLC and picking up would take care off😉. A few new welcome mats and a few new beach chairs would have made it perfect. We felt like Goldilocks when they broke as we were sitting in them on the beach😂. Loved the folks at Eldreds and everyone we met, Thanks for a great week on your beautiful island !

Quiet and cozy
The property was everything advertised, directly on a beach, on an island only reachable by boat. The house was clean, spacious enough for four and had everything necessary for a comfortable stay. The kitchen was fully stocked with every cooking implement imaginable and there were beach chairs, fishing poles and even a golf cart for exploring. Only complaint, on the day we were delivered by water taxi, the concierge declined to pick us up at the dock. It took nearly 45 minutes of walking around with all of our things to finally find the house, which was unmarked. That was weird and a little frustrating, but the owner called us right away and straightened everthing out. The rest of the stay was a relaxing, cozy pleasure. This trip was our honeymoon and we hope to return on our anniversary!

Beautiful View
We enjoyed our stay at Sand Dollar Cottage. The beach was beautiful and we had it pretty much to ourselves. The porch and view of the beach was perfect. Our only complaint was the mosquitoes...bring Off for sure! But otherwise a great vacay!

Old Florida wonderful
It was a cold week, but the beauty of the location made up for the lack of warmth. The birds, flora and fauna were a soothing balm from Minnesota winter for us. The house has two small twin beds, so if you're not a kid, it won't be comfortable. The shades were broken in the master bedroom, mouse traps everywhere, ants in the cupboards, it's truly a woodsy, wild cabin. Nothing fancy, but absolutely the most perfect location for quiet enjoyment of the Gulf and seashore.

Paradise
If you want to get out and away from all of the Mask wearers and onto safety island book here! Don't listen to the lady's rant about the people at the marina being mean, or all the other crap she said! My girl friend and i had a fabulous time the house has everything they could think you may need fully stocked and perfectly clean. I will book again for sure! Don't have one bad thing to say about little Gasparilla island other than the dock didn't have power to charge my trolling motor batteries but the neighbor let me run my cord over to his dock so it all worked out. I highly recommend this unit especially during these times of covid. Great place place to be book now !

Important Info
So, this was a difficult review to write. I do want to start off by saying that the home was amazing, and the owners and property managers are very friendly and very responsive. Our issues stem from everyone else we had to come in contact with from arrival to departure.
The home is on an island only accessible by a single water taxi from a single marina; Eldred's. The staff at Eldred's Marina were unreasonably rude and unprofessional and this includes the water taxi owner; Emmet. We don't think disrespect is folksy or kitschy, it's just unnecessary. We got the message loud and clear that we weren't welcome there the minute they saw us with masks on.
We rented a wave runner from Allure Boats and unfortunately, had a bad experience with the jet ski breaking for reasons that were not our fault. This not only cost us money but also caused me to be 5mins late back to Eldred's after drifting in the ocean for 2 hours. My wife called Emmet (water taxi owner) and he agreed to wait the five minutes I was running late. I arrived at the water taxi at 6:04pm and charged 4x normal and told it was because "its after 6pm". I also suffered further verbal abuse from the boat driver because I was looking through my backpack for gum during the ride. Emmet has been nothing but rude every time we have spoken to him, even just to confirm our time for departure. Also, with each interaction at the marina and on the island, NO ONE, AT ALL, was wearing masks. As a 15yr ER RN I understand that mask use is critical to prevent the transmission of COVID. With each interaction, we were made to feel ridiculous for wearing masks and were repeatedly told it was "unnecessary". This listing goes into extensive detail about the new cleaning procedures in effect for the rental unit but fails to mention you will have to 1) ride a boat driven by people without masks on (only us and the other guests wore masks) 2) follow the golf cart driver into the rental unit without a mask 3) allow a grocery delivery man into the unit without a mask 4)allow a maintenance person to check the breaker without a mask - none of these people followed the 6 ft social distancing rule either.
We understand from the owners that each of these experiences was with an "independent contractor" and they have no control over it. However, an independent contractor can ruin your business (and our stay) just as easily as a bad employee. We ultimately felt that this island was NOT a safe place to vacation.

Relaxing beach getaway
We have been coming to LGI and Sand Dollar for many years and we love it! It’s a quaint, clean beach house with the most amazing view of the blue gulf water. You are away from all the hustle and bustle of the main land and feel like you are experiencing nature and Florida in its more natural form. There is no crowds or cars. A wonderful way to unplug and spend time with family and friends! The management is very responsive and provide you with the best ways to prepare for your vacation and can help with any questions you have. We bring our boat (rentals and charters also available) and the cottage has a nice dock on the intercoastal side that you can use and also fish off of. This island is a little piece of heaven.

Wonderful once again
We love Sand Dollar Cottage. Perfect for us and it has everything we need. We feel very at home there. Always clean. We are able to easily hit the kayaks in the intercoastal and park our rental boat at the private dock but also can enjoy sitting on the screen porch and watch the ocean since it's beachfront. We can't wait to get back. From dolphins to manatees to gopher tortoises to the amazing sunrises and sunsets, to the peace and quiet, this beautiful island never fails to take our breath away.

Great time in Litte Gasparilla Island!!! Beautiful place and cozy Cottage. We enjoy every moment!!!!
We spent two great weeks in Little Gasparilla Island. The house was very cozy and ocean view. We meet owners.., very friendly and nice people. Every morning we eat breakfast on the screen porch. We enjoy walking on the beach few times a day and picking up beautiful shells. Our chocolate lab loved be on the beach, boating and playing with his new friends.., specially Parker and Luna. We were boating every day and saw a dolphins. It was great to take a ride on a golf cart thru the island. We will come back again because there is different word. Thank you Sand Dollar Cottage for having us!!!

Charming Old-Florida Beach Cottage
This cottage was exactly what we were hoping for. It was comfortable and cozy with a wonderful view of the gulf. The dock was only a short walk away which made access to our boat very convenient. We loved the outdoor shower and the peace and quiet all around us. We spent lots of time on the lovely screened in porch because the weather was a bit inconsistent, but watching a storm over the water is always a sight to behold. The kitchen had everything we needed and the living area was comfortable and spacious. The bedrooms are small, but we slept well. This cottage was exactly what we expected and we hope to visit again soon.

Perfect for us!
Beautiful view of ocean and a dock on the bay!! WE LOVE LITTLE GASPARILLA AND THIS PROPERTY. Unfortunately for us the red tide was not good the week were there. I would recommend checking before you go to make sure the water is good, The house was great except no dishwasher. We had no problem with that, but some may. I will rent again because for us it was great!!

Perfect Getaway
We loved it. With all the trees around it felt like living in a tree house. Inside is so comfortable, with everything we could have needed, comfy bed and a sectional we sunk into to relax at the end of the day. Loved reading and napping in the afternoon on the screen porch. The extra downstairs bathroom was really nice. Our dog would come up from the beach and go right up the stairs to the outdoor shower to be sprayed off before going upstairs to dry off on the screen porch. The private dock is steps away bayside and worked great for our rental boat and kayaks. The dock at high tide was like an aquarium, with angel fish, mullets, enormous snook (that made my husband crazy by refusing to bite anything he tried), sheepshead, and the occasional dolphin and manatee cruising by. Got to see the osprey chicks in the nest by the dock take their first flights. So close to the flats out by the pass, which is our favorite kayaking spot. We used the golf cart the day we arrived to unload, and once for groceries, but with the dock so close we really didn't need it. Terry was great and three weeks went by way too quickly. Already reserved time in October and next May and can't wait to get back.

Our hosts could not have been more solicitous. We arrived a little early, left a little late, and it was all fine to arrange. We love the quiet, the home is just lovely, everything one needs to have a restful, relaxing, sunny, break from the cold winter of the northeast! We could not have been more pleased!

We had a wonderful stay. Love the island and especially enjoyed being on the south end of the island this time, very quiet and peaceful. The cottage was just perfect for our needs. The screen porch was great for reading, naps, meals and toasting the sunset. The view is amazing. We hope to be back again next year. Thank you for sharing your little piece of paradise.

Really cozy and beautiful view
We loved this property! The dock was really close to the house so great for loading and unloading luggage and supplies. We saw a turtle the very first day there in the yard. Every day was perfect weather. Well equipped the place had everything you could need. We brought beach chairs of our own. The golf cart was great too!

Views of Paradise and the comfort of home.
We stayed at the Sand Dollar in March 2017 and had a fantastic week of relaxation.
My wife and 2 young daughters all disconnected from their phones and reconnected with each other. We fished from the beach every day and watched the pods of dolphins play just off shore. The sunsets are unparalleled and can be watched right from the screened in porch.
Sand Dollar had plenty of room for the four of us and all the amenities needed to feel at home. Don't bring a lot of clothes as you won't need them and they have a great washer dryer.
The dock was great for fishing with an Osprey's nest near by to watch these magnificent birds.
The beach has more shells than any other beach we have been on and we have at least 100 shark teeth... an addictive hobby.
We hope to be back in the future.

Quaint, Charming beach house - a great memory maker.
Sand dollar cottage is a perfect ‘old Florida’ Beach home - pine walls and ceilings lend it a vintage charm lacking in newer homes. The screened porch was perfect for enjoying the gulf winds, and a great space for a candlelit dinner. The mattresses are all very firm, so be prepared for that! The coffee maker should be full sized for multiple adults in the morning. The location on the island is perfect - sometimes you feel like you have the island all to yourself!

“Beautiful home, gorgeous natural surroundings
Sand Dollar Cottage on Little Gasparilla Island is a gem on the gulf coast of Florida. The cottage is warm and comfortable, all the comforts of home. The screened in front porch is divine with a comfortable seating and gulf views. We loved having access to the bay side with a dock. Very private and quiet on the south end of the island. We spent a lot of relaxing time on the charming screened in porch with comfortable furniture, so nice! Property managers Laurie and Bud, and the on site concierge Terry were kind and entirely helpful with every detail. It's truly a getaway, offering peace and relaxation. We are returning next year for a longer stay.

オーナー : Little Gasparilla Vacation Rentals
We have lived on the island for 30 years and we started renting our own home many years ago when we traveled. Then our neighbors asked us to handle rentals for them -- and now we offer several vacation rentals in a variety of price ranges and locations on the island...from dramatic beachfront homes to cozy interior homes with lots of privacy. Our homes are painstakingly cared for, and very comfortable. We want you to feel like you are vacationing in a friend's home rather than a sterile "rental unit". So relax, kick off your shoes, dig your toes in the sand and enjoy the island lifestyle! "Just bring your groceries, flip flops and a tropical attitude!"™ -Little Gasparilla Vacation Rentals-
