9270 Little Gasparilla Island, PLACIDA

Under contract-accepting backup offers. This 3 bedroom, 1 bath home here on Little Gasparilla Island, a bridgeless barrier island off the coast of the Cape Haze Peninsula, is only accessible by private boat or water taxi, and is just a short 10-minute ride across the bay. The home has been owned together by the same three families since the early 1980s, and has been maintained and updated throughout the years, used as a vacation getaway, never used as a vacation rental. The home is the third back from the community dock that serves Coconut Palm Lane. The living space is an open concept with the kitchen and dining area opening into the living room with picture windows that make it nice and bright. The screened front porch welcomes you to come sit and relax and enjoy the views of palm trees swaying in the tropical breeze. Over the past few years, the home has been freshly painted inside and out, the bathroom tub/shower was replaced with a Bath-Fitters walk-in shower, all new windows, all bedrooms have luxury vinyl flooring, the back two have vinyl tongue and groove ceilings, Hardie siding and soffits, metal roof, new hurricane rated gable vents, the HVAC system is a little over two years old and under a maintenance contract with a/c company; it has been checked after the last two hurricanes and found to be in good working condition, two years ago all of the lower deck and the stairs leading up to the living space have been replaced. The utility room downstairs is big enough to store all your tools, fishing tackle, and beach toys. If you are looking for a quiet and relaxing place to get away, you need to come see the island and feel the stress of the mainland start to slip off your shoulders. Little Gasparilla Island doesn’t have any grocery stores, restaurants, or shops but we have 3 ½ miles of uncrowded beach to wander on and collect seashells and shark’s teeth, swim, or sit with a good book and soak up the sun. The walk to the beach is about a 2-minute walk. There is great fishing in the surrounding waters for redfish, snook, snapper, trout and more. By water there are many wonderful restaurants to cruise to. Then at the end of the day meet your friendly neighbors at the water's edge to watch the sun set on another blissful day in paradise.
