Welcome to Pelican’s Roost — one of Little Gasparilla’s newest rental gems and the perfect spot for families who want beach days, bay sunrises, and plenty of space to spread out and relax.

Tucked along Seahorse Cove — a quiet, tropical sand pathway leading to Dock 36 — this home is just about a two-minute stroll to the beach. Close enough for multiple beach trips a day, but tucked away enough to feel like your own private island hideaway.

What makes Pelican’s Roost extra special is the separate downstairs apartment, complete with its own full kitchen, living area with TV, private bedroom, and full bath. It’s perfect for grandparents, another family, older kids, or anyone who wants a little extra privacy while still vacationing together.

Upstairs, the main home is bright, open, and designed for easy island living:

• Master bedroom with king bed + private half bath
• Sliding doors from the master open to a sunny bay-side balcony — perfect for sunrise coffee
• Second bedroom with queen bed + sliding door to the morning deck
• Additional bedrooms and baths make the home comfortable for groups while keeping that cozy island feel

The main living, kitchen, and dining space has an open, airy layout that makes gathering easy. The updated kitchen features stone countertops and stainless appliances, and the home is fully stocked with everything you need for your stay — including a full-size washer and dryer on the main floor.

Outside is where island living really shines. The large screened front porch has tons of seating for relaxing, storytelling, or escaping the midday sun. Part of the front deck is open-air and includes a grill, outdoor dining table, and extra seating — perfect for fresh catch dinners or pizza night under the stars. Downstairs, you’ll also find a spacious outdoor shower for rinsing off after beach adventures.

And don’t miss the home’s signature feature — the Pelican’s Roost lookout porch at the top level. This sunny perch sits high enough to give you both bay and Gulf views, so you can catch glowing sunrises, watch birds glide by at eye level, and still toast to those legendary Little Gasparilla sunsets.

Pelican’s Roost is all about options — beach time, bay time, family time, quiet time — all wrapped into one unforgettable island stay.
