Welcome to Waters Edge, a true hidden gem on Little Gasparilla Island-where turquoise water, gentle breezes, and total relaxation replace traffic, noise, and stress

  • Welcome to Waters Edge, a true hidden gem on Little Gasparilla Island-where turquoise water, gentle breezes, and total relaxation replace traffic, noise, and stress. Accessible only by boat or ferry, this canal-front island retreat offers the rare combination of private dockage, bay views, and walkable Gulf beaches-all in one unforgettable setting.

    This beautifully designed home makes it the perfect place to unplug and embrace island life. With 60 feet of private dock space, boaters, anglers, and water lovers will feel right at home. Bring your boat, paddleboards, or kayaks and explore the surrounding waters at your own pace.

    Inside, the open-concept living space is filled with natural light and water views from the kitchen, dining, and living areas. Three French doors open to the screened upper deck, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living-perfect for morning coffee, evening cocktails, and entertaining with friends.

    Step outside and discover multiple outdoor spaces designed for relaxation and fun. The bayfront porch offers breathtaking sunrise views, while the lower-level deck is ideal for fishing, cleaning your catch, or simply unwinding by the water. After a beach day, rinse off in the large outdoor shower before settling in for a peaceful island evening.

    Just a short walk from the home, you'll find some of the most spectacular sunsets on the Gulf Coast-a nightly show that never gets old.
