NEW HOME! Steps from the sandy beach & gulf waves on Little Gasparilla Island.
Welcome to Dream Beach House! Completely remodeled 2 bedroom 2.5 bath. A coastal dream. All new furniture and items in the house! House sleeps 6. The AC is brand new and works great!
Little Gasparilla Island is an island you can only access by BOAT. There are NO car ferries or bridges to drive your vehicle across. Hop in your 24’ boat (including the motor, max boat size) and head over to your numbered dock. Then walk or rent a golf cart and go to your vacation rental. Once you unpack and drop off your groceries, you can walk just a few steps further to the uncrowded almost private beach for unforgettable sunsets and shells and beautiful snorkeling water! Take a long walk on the LGI beach. Access into the gulf is less than 10 minutes for unparalleled fishing in Charlotte County waters. Snapper, Snook, Redfish, Sheepshead, and so much more are waiting for you in these waters. World Class Tarpon Fishing is right outside your door by Boca Grande.
Come home and relax to our newly renovated coastal charmer. The home has a beautiful large kitchen ready to entertain. The living room/dining room combo invites you in as you sit back and listen to music or have the Frame TV on. 2 bedrooms with new queen beds, 1 remodeled bathroom with a shower/tub combo with a floating vanity, another full bathroom in the first floor and a separate shower. Connect your phone to the Bluetooth exhaust and hear music throughout the house. Kitchen is large and updated with quartz countertops, turtle green backsplash with an ice machine!! The kitchen is a chefs dream with Paris Hilton’s PINK kitchen accessory line. It makes dining fun.
