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, gas grill ready on the upper deck, plenty of hammocks to relax. 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 and pets are NOT permitted.
Minimum renter age is 25. Guests will be evicted if found not to meet age requirements upon check in.

About the host
Hosted by Susie Thomas
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! Now our grandchildren are being raised down here any chance they get! 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.
