About this property

Bird's Nest has a birds eye view! PRIVATE ISLAND

  • Perched high on pilings on Little Gasparilla Island, Bird's Nest welcomes couples and families looking for a peaceful island retreat. Rent together with our sister property, Bay Watch, for groups up to thirteen guests.

    Enjoy bay and island views from the upper observation deck, or take a short stroll to the beach for spectacular sunsets and shelling. This cozy one-bedroom, one-bath apartment shares the property with Bay Watch. Please note that the front stairs are shared.

    **Accommodates:** up to six guests (one queen bed and two full futons)
    **Amenities include:** satellite WiFi, air conditioning, 75-inch Smart TV, washer and dryer, linens, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, dishes and utensils, kayak, two paddleboards, books, games, cornhole, darts, hammock, and beach chairs and towels. No dishwasher.

    Pets are welcome with owner approval and a non-refundable fee. No smoking. Sunday check-ins must be approved. Golf cart rentals are available on the island through local providers (not included with this rental).

    Accessible only by boat or ferry, the island offers a peaceful setting far removed from the crowds. Little Gasparilla is a bridgeless barrier island, so you will need your own boat or arrange the water taxi/ferry service to come and go. Days here are spent wandering along miles of unspoiled shoreline collecting seashells, enjoying the gentle Gulf breeze, or casting a line in some of Southwest Florida's best fishing waters.
