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.

Best place we ever stayed!

momof4boys Haverhill, Massachusetts
Review Submitted: February 28, 2008 Date of Stay: February 2008
This place looked great online, and it was even better 'in person'. The house is comfortable and open (plenty of ceiling fans and windows). The master bedroom is bright and breezy with the most comfortable king-sized bed I have ever slept in! The kitchen had everything I needed, even a well-stocked spice cabinet. My 4 children, my husband and my dad enjoyed fishing off the dock at all hours of the day and night - they caught 9 different types of fish, and many of them! We saw dolphins just yards away from the dock on several occasions. There is a closet FILLED with all kinds of board games and puzzles, and we had fun using them. The beach was a short, pleasant walk away, and what a beach! The water was incredible, even in February. The shell-collecting was addictive - our 10-yr-old son collected 116 shark teeth in a week! The absence of automobiles on the island was refreshing - such peace and quiet, and also no worries about our younger kids' safety as they roamed and explored. Our island hosts were very knowledgeable about the plants and wildlife - they gave us a jar of 'beach grape' jelly when we arrived, which was tasty on toast.
This was absolutely the nicest vacation I have ever had. Know how you often feel at the end of a vacation - that feeling of looking forward to your own bed and your own 'stuff'? I didn't have that at all this time - I was sorry to go. I will definitely be coming back!
