Beach house in Placida, FL

6 guests • 3 bedrooms • 4 beds • 1 bathroom

New

This beach house is located on a bridgeless barrier island. Leave your car and cares at the marina because you can only access the home by water taxi or personal boat. Enjoy the best of island living...sitting directly on the gulf, with fabulous views, in the comfort and luxury of a brand new home. The home also affords you a private dune walk directly to the beach and the entire downstairs area is decked. It is a perfect spot for enjoying the breezes from the Gulf in a private and serene setting.

SPACE
This stunning, brand new gulf front home has been whimsically named by the owners....but it is far from a "camp"! It combines brand new features and amenities with a touch of rustic charm....like a fabulous open kitchen with a farmhouse sink, exposed brick walls and black iron fixtures. A soaring high ceiling allows light to flood into the living area. The entrance to the master suite is a beautiful barn door and the house features beautiful natural pine doors throughout. The living area features French doors that open to the front porch and its fabulous views of the Gulf of Mexico.

This beachfront home also includes access to a slip at Dock 51. This is a community dock and boat size is limited to 24ft. The dock is just a short, five-minute walk from the beach to the bay side of the island,

The home features three bedrooms and three full baths and sleeps six comfortably. There is a downstairs bedroom for those who prefer not to climb stairs....and a full bath just across the hall. There is also a full laundry room on the main floor.

Upstairs, the master suite sits at the front of the house overlooking the Gulf....a private en suite bath features a large walk-in shower, large vanity and dramatic tile floors. The master suite also has French doors opening to a private gulf-front balcony with fabulous views of our dramatic LGI sunsets!

The third bedroom also has an en-suite bath with shower and features a queen bed.

Fishing is great off the dock or right off the beach. We can also help you arrange fishing charters, trips to Cabbage Key or shelling excursions.

NEIGHBORHOOD
The entire cottage is yours to enjoy, as well as 7 miles of pristine Gulf of Mexico beach. There is also access to a dock slip if you choose to rent a boat. There are no stores or restaurants on the island. There is a fabulous wood-fired pizza delivery option and grocery delivery service. We also have an on-island guest services manager if you need anything during your stay.

TRANSIT
The water taxi runs daily on demand, so getting back to the mainland is relatively easy, but most people choose to stay on the island and enjoy the peace and privacy. The water taxi runs daily during daylight hours, roughly 8 to 5, and the fare averages $20 minimum for 2 people with an additional $10 per person. The taxi will run after dark but there is a surcharge for runs after dark. Please note that we do have 911 service on the island as well as paramedics on the island if you are concerned about emergency medical treatment.

NOTES
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 mosquitoes, rust, power outages and other minor inconveniences. If you are expecting resort amenities and services, the island might not be for you.

ADDITIONAL RULES
I 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).

No pets permitted.

Each booking guest agrees to provide a list of all occupants and other contact info, and agrees not to exceed the number of occupants listed on the booking request submitted. Prior to departure ,you are required to wash your dishes and launder any beach towels you have used. Laundry facilities are provided.

No smoking anywhere inside the house. No parties allowed; only the people in the reservation may be at the house without prior permission. You will be required to sign our rental contract listing these terms. At least two members of your group must be age 25 or older.

Neither the property owner nor the rental manager is responsible for any inability to occupy the premises due to acts of God, including but not limited to hurricane, windstorm, flood, or red tide. No refunds are issued for early departure or unused days. Any request to reschedule reservation dates is subject to approval of the property owner and, if approved, requires the tenant to pay a $200 non-refundable rescheduling fee. The rescheduling credit has no cash value and no refunds will be issued if the tenant decides to cancel their rescheduled dates.

Please don't take these rules to mean you are not welcome. To the contrary, they are how we help ensure that the beach house stays lovely and clean so all our guests can have the best vacation of their lives!

Please note that cleaning fees will be increased for stays of 14 nights or longer. You must adhere to ordinances regarding turtle lighting restrictions. If you are staying in a beachfront home, outside lights must be turned off and inside lights must shielded by closing curtains or blinds. If you are in violation of this, don’t be surprised or offended if someone knocks on your door and reminds you to turn off your lights. Islanders take turtle preservation very seriously and violations will definitely affect your deposit.

All your trash must be removed from the island when you leave. Do not leave trash on the beach, in the roadways, under the house or in the bins UNLESS you have been notified that there is trash pickup. Trash should only be put out on the day it is picked up.

Disrespectful behavior will not be tolerated. This includes our environment and our wildlife as well as other visitors, workers and island residents. If you throw trash on the island, leave trash on the beach, disturb turtle nests, relocate gopher tortoises or otherwise harm animals on the island, are rude or verbally abusive to the concierge or water taxi drivers, chances are your deposit will be impacted or your stay will be shortened. Abuse of drugs or alcohol will not be tolerated, and large or loud parties are not allowed at any rental property. If a resident or owner or even another guest asks you to tone down your music, watch your language, avoid loud behavior or be more respectful, please try and respond politely. Please contact our guest services manager if you have issues with any other guests or owners on the island. She will follow up and we kindly request that you avoid any confrontations.

Little Gasparilla is a small, family-friendly island. This is not a resort, and the entire island is basically private property, with the exception of some of the major roadways. Even established roadways often cross private property. 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.
