Alden's Retreat: Beachfront cottage with private dock! | House in Placida
3 Bedroom House in Placida
Summary:
Alden's Retreat is a classic beachfront cottage near the south end of Little Gasparilla Island. The island is only accessible by boat or our island water taxi. This home is perfectly situated for maximum convenience and easy beach access! There are no stores or restaurants. Come enjoy the beautiful beach without the typical Florida crowds!
The Space:
Please note that Little Gasparilla Island is a barrier island accessible only by boat; we provide water taxi information when you book. You cannot drive your vehicle to the island; you park at the marina on the mainland where you catch the water taxi. There are no stores, bars or restaurants on Little Gasparilla which means it has retained much of its "old Florida" ambiance and pristine beauty. For years Little Gasparilla was visited only by locals who would come on weekends to fish, go to the beach and enjoy the privacy, peace and quiet. Now, even though it has been discovered, the lack of commercial establishments means that the island appeals to those who want to get away from crowds, tourists, traffic and technology. And, if you would like to rent a golf cart to explore the island, we may be able to offer one, subject to availability.
The home has been in the same family for many years, and has been a much-loved family vacation spot for over 50 years. It is a beachfront cottage with expansive views of both the bay and canal and the beautiful Little Gasparilla Beach.
The home offers three bedrooms, each with a view of the canal. One bedroom has two twins, one has a queen and the third has a queen. The open kitchen and living area has new leather sofas, satellite TV, wi-fi and dramatic views of the beach. The kitchen is newly renovated, with stone countertops and new appliances. Dishes, pots and pans and cookware are included. A large island with seating offers even more space for friends and family to gather in this large, open living/dining area with its dramatic beach views.. This home has a brand new full size washer and dryer for added convenience. The upstairs bath has a tub and shower combination. Downstairs, a convenient open-air outdoor shower is located at the base of the stairs so you can rinse off after a day of fishing or swimming at the beach.
The beach is a short walk down a sandy pathway that meanders through the dunes and sea oats. At the end of the path, the view is breathtaking….Boca Grande to the south, and miles of beautiful blue turquoise water as far as you can see.
You need only bring your bathing suit and flip flops for a comfortable and casual beach vacation!
