Turtle’s Nest
3 bedroom, 2 bath

120 sandy footsteps from the front door to Gulf Shore! Turtle’s Nest is a rustic “Old Florida” beachfront home located at the edge of the beach with great sunset views. It features the original knotty pine paneling for a warmth and charm that you just can’t find in newer homes. While rustic in character, Turtle’s Nest has everything you need for a relaxing beach vacation: modern appliances, all linens and utensils and best of all, fabulous beach views. It also has a washer and dryer, and a fabulous screened front porch with a comfortable hammock overlooking the Gulf. You can have dinner while listening to the sound of the waves on the beach. Or relax on the porch with a good book, while listening to the shore birds just a few steps away and enjoying the cooling beach breezes.. It is in a perfect spot right ON the beach. The home also includes access to a free dock slip on the community dock.
Accomodations include three bedrooms and two baths on the main floor and an outdoor shower below. The master has a queen bed and private bathroom. The guest room with a queen bed and the bunk room with two sets of bunk beds share a separate full bath.
As part of the barrier island chain that includes Sanibel and Captiva islands, Little Gasparilla offers the peace and quiet that those busy islands used to have. There is great fishing from the beach or the dock and families will enjoy shelling, swimming or simply enjoying the sun. With an island priority of protecting the sea turtles that nest on our beaches by limiting light pollution, you’ll see more stars than you might think possible. Golf carts can be rented from various vendors on the island.
