Best getaway!

This unit is set up for a wonderful casual vacation. Everything you need in a clean and well suited unit. You feel welcome and comfortable the first second you walk through the door. Gasparilla Island is a beautiful small island surrounded by a long expanse white beach. Very easy to get to surrounding islands and Boca Grande. A perfect place for families, friends or loved ones to enjoy together. Looking forward to my return!

The property was beautiful, well-kept and clean. The decor was adorable.

We loved everything about our trip to Little Gasparilla Island. Karin was great to work with and went way above and beyond to get us there after the weather delayed our travels. She was easy to get in touch with, and made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The resort caretakers and ferry captains were wonderful along with other guests and Hideaway Bay. The beach was stunning!!! We felt very comfortable and safe, and we could truly relax and enjoy our family vacation. We will definitely be back next year! Thank you Karin for helping make this the best family vacation!

Peaceful getaway

I highly recommend Little Gasparilla Island and this particular unit. It is comfortable and well furnished and only steps away from the beach. The island is perfect for a quiet getaway and the people we met were all so nice. The beaches were not crowded at all and the shelling and the sunsets were spectacular! The owner Karin was so incredibly helpful and responsive to questions and even helped secure a golf cart for us when the island rentals were all taken. We travel a lot and rarely go to the same place twice just to get new experiences but this is one place we will be back to visit. Thanks Karin for sharing your little slice of heaven with us!

Return to Paradise!!

This was a return trip for us, and it did not disappoint. We love the atmosphere of this perfect little island where you can truly get away from it all. Karin's condo is located in an amazing spot, only steps from the beach. Everyone in the family has their own idea of a perfect beach getaway, and this fits the bill for all. Morning sunrise walks on the beach; looking for shells and shark teeth; playing in the ocean waves; spotting dolphins swimming down the coast; watching sunsets and seeing the stars in the beautiful night sky. What I like most is being able to do as little or as much as you want. You can ride the ferry back and forth to the mainland or just bring over groceries and stay put for an entire week. It's so quiet and lovely without all the distractions of life that we are usually surrounded by. The condo is very cozy and perfectly furnished as a home away from home. We will always look forward to returning to this little slice of paradise. Thanks Karin for sharing your amazing space!

Quiet Island Getaway

This is a great little island getaway perfect for leaving behind the hustle and bustle of mainland life and forgetting all about the outside world. The short boardwalk to the beach was very pleasant and being in the unit closest to the beach allowed for watching beautiful sunsets. We loved the sun porch and ate most breakfasts and lunches out there. The inside was spacious enough for our crew of four, and the boys enjoyed being upstairs. The beach itself was amazing. Great for shelling and looking for shark teeth. We saw lots of seagulls, pelicans and even some dolphins. It was fun to walk the shoreline, and there was still plenty of the island left to explore. We've taken a few trips to the beach, but this is the one place we've already decided we'd like to go back to. Karin was very helpful and answered all of our questions promptly. She communicated clearly and check-in was easy and as described. We look forward to booking with her again soon. Thanks for a relaxing getaway and sharing your piece of paradise!

Peace and Serenity in Paradise

From beginning to end, our stay on the island was nothing short of AMAZING! Karin was phenomenal to work with and responded within minutes to any questions we may have had for the duration. The process with her was seamless and everything was exactly as she stated in her correspondence and pictures. She provided every minute detail that we would need upon our arrival up until our departure. Her condo was fabulous! She has done a remarkable job decorating and making our home away from home feel just like that, "home." She provided every possible amenity that you may want or need for a stay at the beach, as well as ones that we didn't even think of until we discovered them there. She quite literally had everything from beach chairs right down to coozies for our drinks. The beds were all very comfortable and we slept like babies every night. There was plenty of room and privacy in the condo. We traveled with 3 adults and 2 children and there was more than enough room for us all. The kitchen was well stocked and we made quite a few meals there and mostly only ventured back to the mainland for dinner. The kids really got a kick out of riding the ferry back and forth. The people on the island we so friendly! Seldom do you run into people but when you do everyone has a welcoming smile and greeting for you which makes it easy to return the same. The beach there was beyond gorgeous. There was an abundance of shells for the shell-seeker and the water was calm and beautiful making it perfect for swimming. One of the draws for choosing this location and unit was the pool, but we enjoyed the ocean here so much that we actually never visited the pool. The island is the ideal place for a family getaway. There is a very distinct feeling of safety and security there and none of the crowds that you experience at the "touristy" beaches. This was the perfect piece of paradise to get away from all of the hustle and bustle of everyday life and enjoy family! It truly was peaceful and serene there. I would say that our only wish is that we could have stayed longer, which we will certainly be doing next time. We'll definitely be returning and staying at Karin's place, which we personally thought must be the best condo on the island!

Karin and her beach condo are both gems! After getting stuck in a terrible property that was bug ridden, dirty and had no AC, I thought our vacation was ruined…. But Karin jumped in to the rescue to save our family vacation! Her condo was cute, clean and exactly what we needed! It was so nice to come back from boating and the beach to such a lovely place! We’ll certainly be back! Thank you again!!
