    . Pets are welcome with owner approval; a non-refundable pet fee per pet applies (breed and size restrictions may apply). A $500 refundable security deposit is required. Applicable charges include 12% tax, cleaning, and reservation fees, along with a 3% credit card processing fee (waived for check payments). Skip the extra fees and enjoy more beach days-book direct with Tarpon Real Estate. No smoking permitted. Stay a week or a lifetime. The Hive makes every day feel like island time.
    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.
