Welcome to your laid-back bayside cottage escape on the quiet north end of Little Gasparilla — where mornings start with calm water views, coffee on the porch, and maybe a dolphin or manatee cruising by to say hello.

This recently renovated bayfront cottage is charming, comfortable, and built for easy island living. With your private dock just steps away, unloading groceries, coolers, and luggage is quick and simple — and fishing off your own dock might just become your new favorite daily routine.

Inside, the home is bright, open, and welcoming. The main living space features comfy seating, a flat-screen TV, a large dining island, and a spacious kitchen with all-new stainless appliances. (Island life note: there’s no dishwasher — but the bay view usually makes dish duty a little more enjoyable.)

Each of the two bedrooms has its own TV, making it great for families or couples traveling together. The home also has two full bathrooms plus a downstairs outdoor shower on the landing — perfect for rinsing off after beach days. (Outdoor shower is open-air — true island style.)

The master suite offers:

• King bed

• En-suite bathroom with shower/tub combo

• Sliding glass doors leading to a spacious back porch — ideal for sunbathing, reading, or quiet morning coffee

There’s also a private open-air porch on the west side of the home accessed from the master — another perfect little hideaway spot to soak in the island sunshine.

You’ll find a full-size washer and dryer conveniently located in the kitchen area.

Out front, the open porch overlooks the bay so you can keep an eye on your boat while enjoying the breeze and the sounds of the water. Keep watch — you might spot manatees, dolphins, or even the occasional white pelican right from your dock.

The dock is only a few steps from the house and is perfect for fishing or tying up your rental boat. (Best for boats under 24 ft.)

And when you’re ready for Gulf waves and shell hunting, Little Gasparilla’s beautiful private beach is just about a five-minute walk away.
