About this property

Waters Edge is a well-maintained three bedroom home with views of the bay. Enjoy your morning coffee on the front deck and watch the beautiful sunrises over Little Gasparilla Island. Or take your java down to the beach which is a just short walk away. Whether you're relaxing on the upper or lower deck, the laid back vibe of Waters Edge will transport you to your happy place!

The lower deck has plenty of comfy seating and a bar area to enjoy your favorite adult beverage. Not to mention a nice view of the canal and your private dock, complete with water to hose down the boat, a fillet table to clean your daily catch. The canal view porch is screened offering respite from the sun and pesky insects. For those who simply want to relax and soak up the rays, the bay view deck offers seating under an umbrella to work remotely or if you choose, the Adirondack chairs for just being alone with a good read. Either way, there are plenty of conversational areas for business or pleasure.

After a sunny day at the beach, relax inside with an open floor plan that allows dinner to be created, while kids play games or watch a movie, all while taking in great views of the bay. The dining area boasts a table for 6. After dinner golf cart rides around the island are the best. There are several great sunset spots on the north end of island. (Maybe you'll see catch the green flash!) At Waters Edge, it's all about decompressing and savoring the slow pace of paradise also known as old Florida.

Our first stay on the canal

This was our first trip to LGI over Christmas. We have always visited in the spring. Terri and Dave were so great to work with! It was such a great bonus to be picked up at the marina by them and not have to worry about booking the water taxi. This is also the first time we haven’t had to trek all of our groceries and luggage a distance to find our rental house. It was amazing being dropped off literally right at the steps of our rental home. Our son’s birthday was Christmas Eve and Terri made him a cake, and even put up birthday decorations for him. They were available if we had questions and are just such great people! We brought our little dog and we had a welcome basket waiting for us with dog treats and snacks for us too. The house was perfect for our family of 5 and decorated so cute. We loved every minute of our stay! The walk to the beach was very short and easy. Our dog even quickly learned the route and took herself home from the beach (leash and all) one afternoon. We would definitely recommend this house to everyone and hope to stay again sometime soon.

What a great place to stay!

The property manager is fantastic and very accommodating with ideas and suggestions! The home is a great location to watch the sunrise from your deck then to walk about 50 yards to sit on the beach and watch the sunset. The home has everything you need for a fantastic stay! We will book here again for sure!

Will be back!

This was our 4th time on the island and this house was hands down the best! Very clean and updated. The house was well stocked. The outside shower was incredible and convenient. We loved having the dock right in front of us and made bringing in our luggage and groceries a breeze. We can’t wait to go back!

About the host

Hosted by Terri Manley

A year ago I visited Little Gasparilla Island, and instantly fell in love with the island as so many people do. A few months later we found the perfect house on the island and moved from the mainland to LGI. When we learned Waters Edge was going on the market, we snapped it up too. We hope you enjoy it and have a a wonderful time here.
