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 mosquitoes, rust, power outages and other minor inconveniences. If you are expecting resort amenities and services, the island might not be for you.ADDITIONAL RULESI UNDERSTAND THIS HOME IS ON AN ISLAND WITH NO CAR ACCESS AND THAT I CANNOT CHECK IN WITHOUT RETURNING A SIGNED CONTRACT (PROVIDED BY THE MANAGEMENT COMPANY).

Owners in the past have been willing to overlook people using these roads, but if trespassing turns into malicious mischief, entire sections of the island may become inaccessible to guests.
