About this property

Beachfront home

A quaint beachfront cottage on the Gulf of Mexico! Leave your car and cares at the Marina (Eldreds or Gasparilla) as this piece of paradise is only accessible by boat or water taxi! Enjoy gorgeous sunsets every evening, shelling, or world class fishing all out your front door.

If you are looking for a quiet tropical island to relax and unplug, LGI is your dream spot! This 2 bedroom home has a king bed, queen bed, full bed, and a pull out couch to accommodate any family comfortably. Everything you need is here, just bring your swimsuit and fishing pole. Full kitchen with all cooking utensils, microwave, toaster, keurig, central air, remolded bathroom, outside shower, washer/dryer, charcoal grill ready on the bottom deck, plenty of hammocks to relax, outside games to play in the nice, big back yard, kayak and paddle boards for water play. Beach chairs, umbrella, beach towels all provided. Golf carts available to rent from the golf cart shop on the island to tour the island and go to and from the dock.

This is a bridgeless, barrier island, which GREATLY adds to the old Florida charm of a uncrowded, relaxing beach vacation! There are no paved roads or commercial establishments on the island, only miles of sandy trails and beach walks. The beautiful beach and clear water allows for swimming or beach relaxing all day, shelling, bird watching, dolphin and manatee viewing, playing with your children, but best of all-the BRILLIANT sunsets at the end of each perfect day! Our nightlife consists of giant sea turtles laying their eggs, sunset walks, or golf cart rides around the island! Come get away from the mainland madness and visit our little hidden gem at LGI!

Accommodates: 6 guest maximum! We can not exceed capacity in our island home due to the fragile septic systems.

Sorry no smoking, pets are permitted (1 dog under 50 pounds) upon owner approval and requires a $200 non refundable pet fee.

Minimum renter age is 25. Guests will be evicted if found not to meet age requirements upon check in.

beach relaxation
Nothing luxury expected on this quiet island, just the basics and a lot of relaxation, which this property provides adequately. Beach access is right there, so you can save beachfront money and still essentially have beachfront access. Firepit was a great way to end the day, and that sunset!

Great house
The house was amazing. The location could not have been better. There was so much wildlife to see everyday. The beach was quiet, which is what we enjoy. It is shame that there is a monopoly on the water taxi. We would of liked to get off of the island for a day to explore more of Florida, but his fees are unreal. The couple of people who seemed to think that they could just park their golf carts at the house to walk to the beach was frustrating.

Peaceful tranquility
From the moment we woke up on our second day on the island the conversation about our next vacation to LGI started. The owners were very responsive to our questions. I've already recommended this one to several friends.

The perfect location
Our trip was for a quick 4 day getaway to the island. Communication with the host was quick and easy. The location is ideal for its access to the beach and enjoying the sunsets. Boat dock was convenient and our overall experience was perfect. Would definitely book again!

About the host

Hosted by Susie Thomas

Host profile image
Our home was built by my husbands father back in 1973-1974! His grandfather and many other family members built houses here on the north end of the island. My husband has been coming down to LGI since he was three years old and spent most summers here and any other breaks as his mother was a teacher. We took over the home in 2005 and have raised our kids coming here to the island any break and time we can get down here! It is our little piece of paradise and such a great place to get away from reality and embrace family time! We can’t imagine life without LGI

Why they chose this property

We are right on the beach but have 3 extra lots so we have space in front of the house for bonfires and back yard for family game time! We have an upper deck to relax or eat dinner on and watch the sunsets and a lower deck with hammocks to relax on after a long day at the beach. Down stairs shower is perfect for rinsing off or taking an outside shower if the upstairs one is taken. Also this is our cherished getaway and not just a rental so we do open our doors for you to enjoy but don’t rent often or constantly. Perfect home for the perfect beach getaway!

What makes this property unique

3 lots on the beach giving you plenty of space to enjoy every aspect of your beach get away! Plenty of outside space, covered, to enjoy even on the hottest days or rainy days.
