Hello, friends of GasparillaGetaways.com
The fun article below explains a bit of the history of LGI and the surrounding islands. Our bay-to-beach property (known as GasparillaGetaways) is located right next to the now closed pass that used to separate us from Don Pedro Island wildlife preserve. We are connected to Don Pedro on the beach sand only, as the remains of the pass are just beyond the row of mangroves. When you sit on our beach deck you are only a few yards from where the old pass used to be! It’s two miles to the right before there are any homes - so privacy abounds at our Beach Cottage that borders the state park wildlife preserve. Come stay at GasparillaGetaways.com and enjoy Old Florida and experience, “luxury off the beaten path.”
