Perched high above the white sand beach, gentle surf and turquoise waters of the Gulf of Mexico, this island home is truly a serene escape. Located on the North end of Little Gasparilla Island, you will find quiet breezes, plenty of privacy and expansive views of the beach. The Island - Little Gasparilla Island is the hidden gem of Southwest Florida. A bridgeless barrier island located just North of the exclusive enclave of Boca Grande, LGI is rich in history and the culture of Old Florida. No hustle or bustle here. No high rises. No sea walls. No cars. Not even a paved road. Only narrow winding sandy paths to lead you through tropical foliage of fragrant flowers and shady palms as you find your way to the private beach or dock. But lack of development has its benefits. Most days you'll find you have the beach to yourself. And because the beaches are essentially private, LGI remains one of the only places in Southwest Florida where you can bring your pup along to enjoy a late afternoon swim. This place is most definitely dog paradise! And the long list of outdoor activities available will keep you active and connected to nature. Go tarpon fishing in Boca Grande Pass, stalk the backcountry of Charlotte Harbor for redfish and snook, snorkel for sand dollars, kayak through the mangroves, collect sharks teeth by the jar full, paddleboard along the surf, or boat to one of the many local bars or restaurants. The natural beauty found on and around LGI is as breathtakingly beautiful as it diverse and provides a family-friendly atmosphere for all your recreational delights. The Beach House - Casual coastal elegance is found throughout. Four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a spacious kitchen and dining room, and numerous outdoor living spaces make this special place large enough for you and your guests to the enjoy island life. The classic A-frame design provides privacy for guests with a two-story floorplan. The first level offers 2 bedrooms and a bathroom along with the living area, kitchen and first level deck. Upstairs you will find two bedrooms, a full bath, and a comfy sitting area. The West facing bedroom has unbeatable Gulf views and could be used as the master suite with the East bedroom serving as an office or even a huge walk-in closet. A very private and generous sized balcony provides ample space for sunbathing or sipping a pina colada as the sun sets over the Gulf. Under the home is an outdoor entertaining area to grill your fresh catch or enjoy an afternoon snack after a day at the beach. An outdoor shower helps keep sand out of the house. The "Move" - This house, originally built in 1977 was lifted, moved and renovated in 2012! During the move process, this home was updated throughout including pilings, flooring, windows and doors as well as a new AC system in 2018.
