Knee Deep
3 Bedroom, 2 Bath
one king, one queen, three twins Sleeps 7
Knee Deep is back! After three years of renovations, plus hurricane repairs, it is back on the rental market and ready to welcome guests to its fantastic "right on the water" location.
This family-friendly beach house is located in one of the best spots on Little Gasparilla Island. And it is pet friendly as well! No trudging over hot sand or dragging your beach chairs down a long boardwalk....the beach is literally your front yard at Knee Deep!
The house was recently remodeled with a new septic system, new stairs, new kitchen, new roof, new appliances, AC system, flooring, beds, furnishings and decorative items. This face lift means that not only are you as close as possible to the beach, but you are enjoying it in style! You are literally "knee deep" in the beachfront lifestyle when you vacation at KneeDeep Beach House!
The home is comfortable and well appointed, with an open kitchen, dining and living area so everyone can enjoy each other's company after a day at the beach. The breakfast bar seats 4 and the dining table overlooking the ocean seats six. Even the kitchen has dramatic ocean views....cooking every day is not so bad when you have views of the Gulf of Mexico!
From the front porch and the living room, you feel as though you are on the deck of an ocean liner, as your only views are of the Gulf of Mexico.....beautiful azure water. Some days the water is turquoise, other days a deep, brilliant dark blue....it is ever-changing, and on display for you to enjoy from nearly every room in the house!
The master bedroom has beautiful ocean views as well, with sliding doors that open to the front porch. It has a king bed. The master bath has twin sinks, a large linen closet, a shower and a soaking tub.
The second bedroom is adjacent to the master and has a twin and a set of bunkbeds. The third bedroom is on the opposite side of the house with a queen size bed. So you effectively have two master suites if coming with two couples. The second bathroom has double sinks and a shower so you can rinse off without tracking sand into the house. A large utility room has a full-size washer and dryer.
The house is well stocked with all pots and pans, all linens including beach towels. The game closet will provide hours of entertainment for the rare rainy day. And the home has both wi-fi and a 60" Smart TV.

Loved it, sitting on the porch looking out over the waves was heavenly. Betty S.
Fantastic vacation at Knee Deep! Beautiful home, spacious living area, very well equipped kitchen. Amazing views. We kept the windows/sliders open at night so falling asleep to the sound of the waves was so relaxing. - Bev M.
We just returned from a fabulous week at Knee Deep. We were a group of 6 adults and the house was extremely comfortable for all of us. Lots is spacious and comfortable seating in the living room and at the dining table. Great game closet with lots of choices. The kitchen was perfectly stocked with all things we needed for a week of meal prep. Couldn’t have a better location. Literally right at waters edge! The view from the deck was like being on a cruise ship! One thing we did new this trip was use Evan Merritt for grocery pickup and delivery. That was a game changer!! No more hauling over groceries. He was a delight to work with and extremely dependable! Terry was very available for any needs. We already booked our week for next February at Knee Deep! - Chris R.

Beautiful beach home! Although there were a few post-hurricane issues and the red tide was in, we loved staying on the ocean. Terry and Pede are amazing and wonderful to work with. - Nikki G.
This was the second time we have stayed at Knee Deep this year. It’s amazing and the location is 2nd to none. Plan on returning as soon as possible. One of my favorite vacation places in Florida.- Don H.
The location of Knee Deep is perfect. This is the second time returning to the island and staying here. We love how close it is to the ocean and the beautiful views. We enjoyed spending time with family, relaxing, and finding shark teeth along the beach. The staff is always there when you need something and is very responsive. We look forward to coming back next year. -Mary G.
We took a girls trip of 7 women ranging in age from 27-74 and stayed at Knee Deep from 6/4/23-6/10/23. The house has the most incredible views! Patio furniture was adequate, house is well appointed w/towels-kitchen and bath. Kitchen is well stocked, furniture is comfortable. While there we saw dolphins, manatee, sea turtles, a stingray with her babies, bird etc! Great location, if you are looking for peace and quiet and to do your own thing, the island is perfect. All ages had a great time! If you are looking for a ride from the airport-call Salty Girls, Evan's Grocery Delivery was awesome, and Willie's boat ride was cool. Would recommend Knee Deep!- Heidi H.
