Bartoe Beach House – Little Gasparilla Island – Placida, Florida

Our beach house is located on a small island nestled in the tranquil waters of the Gulf of Mexico, which is a unique vacation spot.  Little  Gasparilla Island is an island with boat access only.  It is a perfect  vacation spot for those who want to vacation away from the congestion  and traffic of city life...old Florida at its very best!

 For the fisherman, it is quite the place to go.  It is in a world-class fishing area – Boca Grande.  Charter fishing boats as well as fishing  guides are available in the area - it is best to reserve these in advance.

For the beach person, our tranquil shores offer wonderful shell hunting, calming walks and breathtaking sunsets as well as beautiful sunrises over the bay.  The island is approximately 7 miles long and  there is also a sandy road that runs north and south for  2+ miles.  At the  north end of the island, there is a public park.  The beach is not as crowded as most Florida beaches are and, at times, it is close to being  your own private beach.

There is no access by vehicle, no bridge to the island; therefore, you  must have  your own boat or pay for water taxi service to the island.  If  you need the water taxi service (941-697-5777), you need to call them  one week in advance to make your reservation with them.  If you have  no boat but would like to rent one during your stay, you can do that by  contacting Gasparilla Marina (941-698-4666).  To launch your boat  and/or park your vehicle for your stay, you will need to do that at  Eldred's Marina (941-697-1431).  There are fees for both launching  your boat and parking your vehicle so contact them for that information.  Due to limited dock space on the island side, one boat per house on dock at any given time.

The house is a small, cozy 2 bedroom 1 bath house which is on pilings and can accommodate 4 people.  It is comfortable and well equipped, having all that you would need except your food, clothing, and recreational items.  Beach towels, chairs and umbrellas are provided.

Golf cart rentals are available on the island.  Contact LGI Cart Rental @ 941-697-3820 for their information, if interested.  Reserving in advance would be recommended.

 No pets are allowed! It is a non-smoking residence!
