Good to know
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.
Guest Access
LGI is a bridge less barrier island. Enjoy the beautiful gulf beaches without the typical Florida crowds! There are no roads on the island. Just sandy pathways and beautiful nature. Please note that Google shows this property on the mainland, but it is not....it is on Little Gasparilla Island.
