About this property

Point Break: Gulf-front getaway with spacious porches overlooking the beach!

Summary:
Just bring your swimsuit and flip flops and enjoy the oceanfront views from this beautiful direct oceanfront beach cottage. The island is only accessible by boat. Take a quick water taxi ride or bring a boat to the dock slip included in your rental.

Everything you need is already here! Satellite TV in in each room, free wi-fi, charcoal grill, games, dock access, newly renovated kitchen with all cooking utensils, and central air. Plus, you won't find a better view!

The Space:
Leave your car and your cares at the marina because Little Gasparilla is accessible only by water taxi! That means our beaches are uncrowded and tourists and traffic are just a mainland memory. If you are looking for a quiet tropical island to relax and unplug, Little Gasparilla is your dream vacation spot. Our "nightlife" consists of giant sea turtles laying their eggs -- our only bar is the sand bar where you can find sand dollars and shells!

Point Break features a spacious open air porch overlooking the beach PLUS a screen porch facing south with dramatic views and comfortable spots for outdoor seating and dining.

Inside, the kitchen is newly renovated with stone countertops and new stainless appliances. The view from the kitchen sink is worth doing dishes for, though the home has a new dishwasher! Two bedrooms offer queen size beds and the bathroom has double sinks for plenty of room for everyone. There are also two hammocks beneath the house, overlooking the beach, for the ultimate in relaxation!

Stop and get your groceries and park your car at Eldred's Marina and take the water taxi to your semi private dock. From there just a few steps to Point Break Beach House. You will enjoy an almost private beach with all the shelling, snorkeling, nature walks, world class fishing and white sand beaches. 8 golf courses within 10 mins. Kayak rentals, canoe, and jet ski rentals near by. At the end of the day, kick back and relax, on the direct oceanview deck, enjoy a cold beverage and watch a one of a kind LGI sunset.

Pet Policy - pet-friendly with $100 non-refundable fee per pet; some breeds may be excluded due to insurance restrictions.

Wi-Fi - available, but may not be the wi-fi you are used to on the mainland

Minimum Renter Age - 25

Semi-Private dock - included in your rental (this is also where the water taxi drops you off)

Complimentary Concierge - will meet you at the dock with a golf cart to assist with transporting your luggage and groceries to the home

Satellite TV - yes

Grill Type - charcoal

Coffee maker- drip (filters provided)

Vacation rental damage protection- The $59 charge listed as an "maintenance fee" on your quote covers your purchase of $2500 of “all risk” damage protection coverage on your rental property. This protection is purchased in lieu of a cash damage deposit. Coverage details are spelled out in your contract.

Parking -Paid lot parking available at Eldred's Marina where you meet the boat taxi

PLEASE NOTE: We include all children in our occupancy count. We do require that two members of each group must be over 25 years of age. We apologize, but we can NOT rent to college groups as a courtesy to the homeowners and our island neighbors. Guests will be evicted if found not to meet age requirements upon check in. Additionally, we can not exceed capacity in island homes due to the fragile septic systems.

Other Things to Note:
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.

Interaction with Guests:
We have an on island guest services manager available if you need anything during your stay.

What a fantastic relaxing get away!
The communication was amazing. The services amazing. The communication between the property manager, water taxi, transfer service was flawless and we had several logistical challenges as we didn’t all arrive and leave at the same time. The property was in an absolutely perfect location. It has been kept up very well and we had everything we needed. Will absolutely be booking again!

Point Break
The house was perfect. Clean, very large bathroom. We did not watch tv. House is right on the beach. Has an outdoor shower. Screen porch was needed for the little bugs, ocean water was so warm. Very quiet not crowded with people. Calling for a water taxi was easy, and they were on time. Brett the concierge helped with luggage and groceries to your house. My friends had their wedding on the beach. I will totally come back!!

Great weekend getaway…
My wife and I stayed 3 nights. We had a wonderful experience. The accommodations are as described. Rustic but very comfortable and relaxing. The ocean view was outstanding and we never got tired of seeing the ocean from every window in the house. Being so close to the water, you could always hear the waves which was so peaceful. The hammocks underneath the deck were perfect. If you’re looking for a relaxing vacation with that requires no agenda besides sleeping, swimming and relaxing, this is the spot for you.
