Escape to your own island getaway! This charming 2-bedroom, 2-bath island cottage with a loft sits high on elevated stilts on Little Gasparilla Island, one of Southwest Florida's most special bridgeless barrier islands. With no bridge and no cars crowding the roads, life here moves at island pace: arrive by boat, get around by golf cart or on foot, and leave the mainland rush behind. Inside, an open floor plan with high ceilings creates a bright, airy space made for relaxing and entertaining. Tile flooring throughout keeps things cool, easy to maintain, and ready for sandy feet. The loft adds flexible space for guests, a reading nook, or a quiet home office. Step outside and the island is all around you. A screened-in lanai and a walk-around balcony offer exceptional sunrise and sunset views, perfect for morning coffee or evening cocktails. Below, a full deck area and large storage space give you room for beach chairs, fishing gear, kayaks, and all your island essentials. Best of all, this property offers your own private dock, so your boat is never far from the front door. Spend your days fishing, shelling, beach walking, spotting dolphins, and exploring the quiet natural beauty that makes Little Gasparilla Island so treasured. Nearby Boca Grande and Placida add dining, shopping, and marina options just a short boat ride away. Whether you're dreaming of a weekend retreat, a seasonal escape, or a full-time island lifestyle, this is the island cottage you've been waiting for.
