This was a long weekend getaway for my daughter's 9th birthday. We couldn't have asked for a better trip. Little Gasparilla Island, and Janet's property in particular, was perfect. As advertised, the location is secluded and quiet. There are no cars, but golf carts are available for rental, and I would highly recommend arranging for one as the winding sand paths are excellent for exploring and it's great to be able to tote a few things right up to the boardwalk beach access. LGI Carts was easy to contact, brought our cart right to the condo, and came back to pick it up at the end of our stay.
The beach on LGI is pristine and bristling with shells and sharks teeth. The water is warm and clear, with a sand bar not too far from shore. Because the island is relatively sparsely populated, there were never more than 10 or so people there whenever we went. And those who were there were kind and friendly.
As for the condo, it was so nice. Updated, modern, and extremely clean, this was the perfect place to just relax and unwind. The owner replied to all my inane questions quickly and personably, and her instructions for getting to the island, taking the ferry, checking in, and checking out were spot on. The condo is equipped with everything you need for your stay. Make sure to stock up on food for transport to the island since there are no restaurants or stores. That's easy to do since there's a grocery about a mile or so from the designated parking area near the ferry landing. As an aside, I mentioned to the owner that our visit was a celebration of my daughter's birthday and she (and her own daughter) left a present in the condo for mine. Very thoughtful and appreciated. We'll definitely be back.
