If you're planning on bringing a boat, we have a dock space available which will accommodate up to a 26 foot boat ( size limit due to Florida laws) Please let us know in advance if you will be bringing a boat.
We do not have a golf cart available for use and because of our close proximity to both the dock and beach one isn't needed, however, if you wish to rent one LGI Island Golf Cart can be reached at 941-607-3820. We recommend calling 2 weeks in advance to reserve.
There are no grocery stores or convenience stores on the island. While our home is well stocked with spices and condiments, you will need to plan ahead to bring your desired groceries and beverages. Our tap water is perfectly drinkable. There is an island grocery service, should you run out of something or forget a needed item.
Remember, this will be a vacation like no other- LGI is not a resort, it is an island with only private residences and because of the lack of shops and amenities, you will be able to enjoy the natural beauty of the beaches, surroundings and time unlike anywhere else.
Just remember to pack light with clothes- heavy with food and beverages and we promise, you will be so pleased that you chose Little Gasparilla.
