We enjoyed our stay and Terry is amazing to work with

We so enjoy the island. Our property manager, Terry, was so very helpful when I had questions. Honestly…..Terry is amazing and deserves a 5 Stars! It is sad to see so much damage from the hurricane but I am very sure the island will rebuild over the next couple of years. So much damage. We knew coming to the island the damage would have affected all homes.

Thank you so much for your positive comments. Guests such as yourselves -- who return to the island knowing how hard we were hit -- truly help with the rebuilding and restoration efforts.

Little Gasparilla is great. It would be better if all rental agencies kept out Spring Break youth.

House was good. Screened porch was awesome. Concierge and property manager were very welcoming and Terri even brought a citrus juicer for us, which was above and beyond. Property has fairly new living room furniture. There is table with 4 chairs on the screened porch where we ate all our meals. The loveseat on porch needs repaired or replaced, it was really uncomfortable, but the matching chair was great. The exterior steps and catwalk around the main level of the house would need to be replaced before I’d bring a child there. It was just two adults, so it wasn’t a problem for us. The king bed was adequate, but the sheets were old and pilled, not good quality to begin with and way past when I would have used them. We had great weather, and are not boaters, so we’re at the beach daily. It truly is a short walk to either beach or dock. The sandbar that runs along next to island is awesome! The beach at the end of our lane was very short and had houses, and/or house pilings on either side. It worked for us, but it was very small compared to other spots on the island. To walk the beach when tide was high, we had to stoop and go under the houses on either side or go into the water to go even a short distance down the beach in either direction. It would have been worse if the house that had been on the pilings was still there. On the whole, though, we had a great experience. I love a screened porch and the beach steps away, and the weather was perfect all week.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on your stay. We all agree with you about spring break and we do not allow anyone younger than age 25 -- or college students -- to rent any of our properties during Spring Break. There is too much potential for mischief when adults are not around to supervise and you add alcohol into the mix. There has been a lot of erosion on this part of the beach this winter, but the beach changes constantly and by the summer time, there might be another 20 yards of beach. It is constantly changing.

Seahorse Hideaway March 2019

As advertised - absolutely no frills island life. We enjoyed it. Weather cool and rainy, but great for walking long distances on the beach. Also cool for sleeping! Cottage is bungalow style - had everything you need - nothing fancy. Plan simple meals - do not overpack food. Must carry everything in AND out. Great bird watching and the shells are beautiful. Lots of fisherman on the island! Did not have a golf cart - and that may have been a real bonus. We walked a lot - but no complaints! Did not have a kayak or paddle board either, but the weather was not so conducive anyway. Check on availability of each of these if you are definitely interested - may require rental ahead of time. Enjoyed the sunset on our last two nights and the moon was full when the clouds cleared! Water Taxi is great, but gets rather expensive if you plan to go back and forth to the mainland. Must also be very aware of your timing - watch the clock - or you'll miss your ride. Recommend planning to stay put for your stay and simply enjoy a simpler way of life.

Fantastic relaxing vacation

The house and the island were everything we were looking for in a vacation. A beautiful private beach, a well maintained home, and friendly people to meet. Great place. Would come back!

Cute beach house minutes from private beach!

My husband and I loved our time at this adorable home on Little Gasparilla Island! This home was loacated close to the dock, where we fished and only a minute or two walk from the beach, which we pretty much had to ourselves! The home was clean and comfortable and perfect had plenty of space for even more than 2 people. We enjoyed playing board games and having meals on the screened in porch in the evenings and spent our days walking the island and snorkeling and kayaking in the ocean. We were delighted to have the beach to ourselves and enjoyed how peaceful and relaxing this home was! Everything in the home was as shown and the staff couldn’t be more friendly and helpful. They took the time to welcome us and show us around the home and island. This cozy beach home was the perfect location and spot for our weekend away! It had a full kitchen, large rooms and a comfortable living space and all needed appliances! I would highly recommend this home for couples or a family who wants to enjoy a beautiful beach vacation! The pictures online didn’t even begin to show how beautiful this home and island were! It was completely charming and met all our needs! We will definitely be back!
