Bayfront home, Private Dock, 4 Kayaks
Looking for a uniquely wonderful vacation that offers miles of an almost deserted beach, the ultimate in fishing, lots of privacy, quiet times, and a glimpse of yesterday’s Florida? Gasparilla Villa offers this and more. You have found a true island paradise for beachgoers and fisherman alike. Your family and friends will never forget this wonderful experience.
Gasparilla Villa is tucked into mangroves and palms on the bay side of a quiet bridgeless barrier island on the Gulf of Mexico next to Boca Grande. It is between Englewood and Sanibel Island.
The Boca Grande area is world famous for its quality fishing and hosts one of the finest backwater flats in Florida. With a choice of bay fishing, surf and deep sea fishing, almost anything goes. Try your fishing skills on tarpon, snook, redfish, mullet, mackerel, red snapper and grouper. Gasparilla Villa has its own private dock, a newly expanded deck and covered fish cleaning table and lots of freezer space. Leave your fishing gear on the boat.
For the beach comber, there are miles and miles of almost deserted pristine beach with no condos, stores or gift shops. Abundant shells await with swimming and shore birds only a three minute walk away. At sunset, it is an island tradition to always be on the beach with your favorite beverage to watch the dramatic show and to spot the elusive green flash.
Snorkel, kayak, canoe or sail in the waters that surround the island. Rent a golf cart and explore the miles of nature tails and roads. There is even a local captain that will give you and your guests a scenic tour. There are several excellent restaurants available by water taxi or your own boat for some of the finest seafood on the Gulf Coast. Numerous golf courses surround the area on the mainland.
A separate one-room cottage is adjacent to the Villa with space for the kids to play games, watch movies or put together puzzles.
Upon your arrival you will be greeted by your personal island mate who will acquaint you with the Villa and the Island. Your island mate will be available all week to meet your needs.

Downstairs is a large screened in porch with sitting/play area and large table that seats 8. Washer/Dryer and bathroom with shower.
