Best Vacation Ever

Review Submitted: July 17, 2010 Date of Stay: May 2010
This was one of the most amazing vacations I've ever had-- traveling by boat to a beautiful island, a shell-filled, picturesque beach just a hop down the path, and an amazing house to top it all off made this trip absolutely perfect. The house was not only clean and cute, the owners have thought of EVERYTHING you could possible need, especially if you have children. This is the most family friendly vacation ever, and it made things that much more enjoyable. There is a pack-and-play for babies, plenty of children's movies to choose from, a toy chest, a high chair, and the best part was the screened in porch for the little ones to play on safely and independently.

The kitchen was another part of the house that wowed me-- again, it had everything I could have possibly thought of, it was like cooking in my own home. I have to say, tho, that by far my favorite amenity was the outdoor shower. It is a huge, secluded, warm water shower that is perfect for hosing down all the kids after the beach, or for a late night romantic rendezvous.

Aside from the house, this island was amazing. The water is warm, the beach is filled with shells, and you can watch the sun set into the ocean every evening. There are turtles, cute little lizards, dolphins, manatees, fiddler crabs; and if you rent yourself a golf cart you can cruise all over the island in search of these critters. The house also has a private dock with a dock light for fishing at night. My husband and I caught at least ten or twelve ocean trout, and kept two for grilling.

I could not have had a better vacation, and it is in large part due to the thoughtfulness and care the owners have put into this home. If you want a stress-free, wonderful vacation for the whole family, this is where you want to be.

Great Vacation Spot!

Review Submitted: January 21, 2012 Date of Stay: July 2011
We have been renting from Mike and Duffy for years and each time find the house to be in excellent condition, clean and there is always some enhancements to the property and house that make the time there even better than the year before. Mike and Duffy are great to deal with and we highly recommend this house for a vacation! We always leave relaxed and looking forward to our next trip to the island.
Owner's Response: Barb and Dean, Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review and share your experience with others. We appreciate guests like yourselves that come back year after year and you guys make it so nice and easy for us to make the arrangements with you. Thanks for your support!

Wonderful Getaway

Review Submitted: January 5, 2012 Date of Stay: November 2011
I have spent most of my spare time for a number of years on the island, the Island Home retreat is the perfect place to stay to enjoy the island. The home is clean, the view is great, the dock is basically at the bottom of the stairs, and the beach is very close. The home sits in a part of the island that is a little narrower, this makes the gulf and the bay easily accessible at all times. The island is a good place to get away from everything. If fishing is you thing, you can do it off the dock, if the beach is your thing, it is right there. If you are thinking of staying on the West coast of Florida, Little Gasparilla Island, and the island home retreat, offers an experience that you will not forget. You have to be careful when choosing a place to stay on the island, so many places "look" great in the pictures, but when you get there leave alot to be desired. You will not be disappointed in the island Home reatreat. Thanks Mike and Duffy for a great stay!
Owner's Response: Scott...thank you so much for sharing your visit at our house and the experience you have visiting the island! Your honesty is greatly appreciated and I am sure it will be helpful for others. You know more about the area and the island than we do...can I just have all my inquiries call you directly? LOL!!!
Thanks again! Mike and Duff

Fisherman's Paradise

Review Submitted: November 15, 2011 Date of Stay: August 2011
Our family are all big time FLORIDA fisherman. From our young grandson to my wife. The deck and dock is perfect for our boating and fishing needs. When we are not on the boat fishing, we catch fish from the dock. Dock fishing is accessable on the private dock as well as the street dock, well lite up at night.
There is a great fish cleaning area with lights, water and power.
The young and old have the time of our lives when we stay at Mike and Duffy's island house. They are the greatest! The house is so cozy and comfortable.
The wife wants me to mention how fabulous the kitchen is, everything you would need is there. And the view from the kitchen is great. The porch is our favorite place to hang out and grill and visit and enjoy the island atmosphere. And even us fisherman make it to the beach to relax and cool off in the crystal clear water...and can't forget to mention the marvelous sunsets. We will never stay anywhere else. The cost is very reasonable and staying at this house is pricelss to us.

Tons of fun on such an excluded island!!!

Review Submitted: October 17, 2011 Date of Stay: October 2011
My husband and I stayed for a long weekend with another couple at the Island House Retreat and had a wonderful time. The house is VERY clean and well-appointed. You really only need to bring your own food and clothes. The owner (Duffy) was a pleasure to deal with and she was very helpful answering all of our questions. We are looking forward to another visit in the Spring. Only downfall was the weather in the harbor. We brought our small boat, but the guys couldn't boat due to high winds, They were still able to enjoy fishing from the dock, while the ladies enjoyed the lovely beach. I could have walked for miles just staring at all the beautiful shells. I had a hard time getting back to work after my return. I kept daydreaming about our great vacation at the Island House Retreat. Thanks!!!

Owner's Response: We are so glad you tried OUR COAST! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your stay. You are so kind to compliment me as well as the house..although it's all so true. Ha! Thanks for taking such good care of everything. We can never guarantee the weather but we can guarantee you will enjoy our home and the island. Hope to have you back soon. Duff&Mike
