Lemon Zest Cottage

Basic (1 shown)Got a zest for life? Then Lemon Zest Cottage is calling your name! This beautifully refreshed 3-bedroom, 2-bath island hideaway sits just one lot off the Gulf, wrapped in tropical greenery and serenaded by the sound of waves rolling onto shore. Here, bright sunny days, sugar-white sand, and those famous Gulf blues are just a flip-flop stroll away.
Start your mornings with coffee on the sundeck soaking in Gulf peeks, spend afternoons shell hunting, swimming, or napping in the shade with a salty breeze drifting by. Inside, the bright updated kitchen is ready for family fish fries, pizza nights (hey — you know a guy 😉), and easy island entertaining thanks to the open, airy layout.
Getting here is part of the adventure — just book your water taxi, hop aboard, and let the mainland worries drift away behind you.

About Little Gasparilla Island
Welcome to one of Florida’s last true hidden gems — a bridgeless barrier island tucked between Sarasota and Fort Myers. No cars. No traffic. Just sandy trails, golf carts, dolphins offshore, and sunsets that make you forget what day it is.
Arrive by private boat or water taxi, drop your bags, kick off your shoes, and slip straight into island time. Whether you’re fishing, shelling, or just soaking up the glow of a Gulf sunset, Lemon Zest Cottage is your spot to unplug and live the LGI life.
