First stay at this property. The owners were extremely accommodating and allowed us to check in a little early. Home was clean and very relaxing. The use of the golf cart was an added bonus. Will definitely be recommending this property to my friends.
This place was everything and more. The perfect getaway with my family. Ashley was beyond helpful with all my questions. The house comes with practically everything and I enjoyed that. Will def be returning!

Thank you for staying at Herda Hideaway! We try to make it feel as 'home away from home' as possible. We would love to host you again :)
Beautiful condo in a great location! The owners were excellent in communicating with us and did so very promptly. The condo was well equipped and the kids loved the paddle board! The golf cart was above average compared to the other units on the island. We would definitely rent this unit again!

Glad you enjoyed your time at our unit! We would be more than happy to host your family again!
We truly enjoyed our stay here. The property is updated and very clean and Ashley and Trent were incredibly helpful both before and during our stay with any questions that we had. The ferry through the condo complex is a great asset and the access to the beach was easy. We had plenty of room for our family of five. The kitchen is well stocked and there are plenty of towels for the beach - plenty of toys (noodles, buckets, paddle board, kayak, shell rake), too. I would not hesitate to rent from Ashley and Trent again! Thank you for sharing your property with us!

Thank you for your kind review! We are happy to hear you enjoyed your stay at Hideaway Bay. We'd be more than happy to host you again!
Ashely and Trent were very accomodating during the booking process. Their place is very nice, clean, had everything included/necessary for a sweet get-a-way! My 8 year old son enjoyed the private beach that wasn't overcrowded and we found so many sharks teeth. We snorkeled the crystal clear water and he enjoyed the golf cart rides around the quiet island. Thanks again for a great stay, we will be back! ~Jessica Perry

We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay. There's nothing better than clear water and a quiet beach!
Lovely condo, nicely furnished and well equipped. The golf buggy was a bonus and helped us transport chairs etc to the beach. The kitchen is well equipped for self catering and includes a slow cooker which worked really well for us. Gasperilla did not disappoint, this was our fourth visit and we loved the peaceful nature of the island, long walks and it goes without saying … the sharks teeth!! We will return.
This place is a gem...

This condo is so clean and comfortable. The beds and linens are great. Everything you need is in the condo, towels, kitchen supplies and beach stuff! Checkin and out super simple. Loved it! Will be staying again.
My husband and I and our 3 kids had a wonderful time on Little Gasparilla. The house has everything you could possibly need. It was very clean. We loved exploring the island in the golf cart! We found hundreds of shark teeth on the beach! The sunsets are amazing. We will be returning!
My wife and I spent a week at this condo with our three year old son. We had a wonderful time on our trip. The weather was perfect and the condo was "as advertised". There was nothing we needed that the condo didn't have available. The golf cart that was available came into great use shuttling our stuff up to the beach. We can't wait to come back!
Loved this property and HBBC on LGI. The chill relaxing atmosphere was heavenly. Enjoyed sitting on the beautiful white sand beach, collecting unique shells and many sharks teeth. The unit was updated and very clean. Owner was a great communicator. I was hoping to stay again for the same time next year, but it’s already booked.
We had a really good time on the island. The unit was perfect for us and our 4 kids! It was well stocked and it was so nice that there were kids games, puzzles and sand toys! The golf cart was great too!

About the host
Hosted by Ashley & Trent Herda
Hello, we are the Herda's. We currently live in Lawrence, Kansas with 2 young children. We are excited to share our little slice of paradise with our family and guests. I grew up in Charlotte County before moving to Palm Beach County, and eventually Oklahoma, where we met and started our story! We love college football (Go OU!), playing outside, all things sport related, and most of all fishing. We are always counting down the days until we get to come back to LGI and Hideaway Bay. Until then, we would love to share this bit natural Florida with you!
Why they chose this property
Growing up, making family memories on the beautiful Gulf beaches and barrier islands of Southwest Florida leads us to want to share this vibrant slice of paradise. Come enjoy these pristine sights of natural Florida.
What makes this property unique
Fully renovated with a large kitchen island, seating for 6, luxury finishes, and resort-style amenities. Our condo is perfect for gathering on family vacations, secluded work trips (with back-up power bank), or quiet staycations!
