About Kim Rutherford

My husband, Brad & I are true Florida Crackers, both born in Central Florida. We were High School Sweethearts, dating for 7 years, and now have been married for 35 years. We grew up in Bradenton, Fl and once married moved around Central Florida ending up in Winter Haven.

Kim Rutherford purchased this condo in 1997
Why Kim Rutherford chose Little Gasparilla Island

Some good friends of ours invited my husband to stay with them at their HBBC Condo during a fishing weekend back in 1997. He instantly fell in love with the Island and came home and was excitedly insistent that I go the next weekend with him to see about buying a place for our own. It didn't take much convincing on his part...I was hooked the minute a saw it.

What makes this condo unique

My husband & I love the condo for different reasons. He is an avid fisherman.. and a legend in his own mind:) No, he really is a good fisherman... you know they say practice makes perfect...well he get's plenty of that...This area, along with being the Tarpon Capital of the World, is also beeming with Snook, Redfish, Snapper, Flounder, Permit, Grouper, just to name a few of my husband quest. What made me fall in love with the island was that it was a secluded island only assessable by boat. There a virtually no vehicles on the island except golf carts. This makes it safe for your kids to have fun and explore without you having to worry. You can go down to the beach at almost any time of year and almost have the whole beach to yourselves. This place makes you forget all the hustle & bustle of your every day life...it is a true oasis of relaxation.

We had everything we wanted including very freindly vacationers and residents. All were happy and having fun. My kids (5 and 11) loved driving the golf cart, kyaking with the dolphins, fishing, swimming in the ocean, flying the kite, building sand castles and collecting shells and sharks teeth. We loved the quiet and not populated beach, the natural environment and nature, and a very comfortable condo, clean condo with owners who checked in to make sure all was well. The ferry was on time and getting our things to the island was a breeze due to the system the complex has in place. We came home totally relaxed and happy. Thank you

Endless sunshine, sensational sunsets, heavenly sand & stunning shells! Our stay and Brad and Kim's wonderfully appointed condo was everything we needed for a relaxing and peaceful vacation. The unit was well equipped, furnished and clean. Use of the golf cart was a bonus to get around the island with ease. Hideaway Bay's pool is the perfect spot to gather for a refreshing swim and friendly conversations with new friends and welcoming staff. Captain Dennis is the go-to guy - master of all! Thanks for the memories. We cannot wait to return!

Our Home Away From Home

We were very lucky to be able to rent this condo for Easter Week, We already had family in the area,and our sons live near and so could spend a long weekend with us.Good friday was wonderful for more family guests.
The listing was as accurate as ever,and as clean and very very well maintained.Rooms very comfortable,and had big tv's and WiFi,and DVD's.
The owners had everything for us. The golf cart was a bonus ,and we toured the island every day, We had chairs, so many towels, and some condiments.We did bring too much food, and that was a laugh for all.
We even cooked a turkey that Sunday and had enough pots and pans and dishes for a delicious dinner..
It is a lovely abode for a lovely vacation,and a good time was had by all.,
Thank you Mr and Mrs for answering all of our questions and concerns and ,we will definitely be in touch for next spring.

Winter get Away

Tis was a great place to get away from the cold MN winters. The town home was exactly as described and the pictures really gave you a accurate idea of the home. They were only two of us, but it could easily accommodate a family of 5 or 6. The island location is great or a "laid back vacation of walking the beach, enjoying the sun and watching sunsets. Very quiet and not very crowded. Would recommend to friends

Kim was a great hostess and met us at the dock on the island, which was great because this was our first time to Hideaway Bay and we didn't know the ropes. We very much enjoyed the upgrades in the condo, and it was great to have a golf cart. Even though the weather wasn't what we had hoped, be enjoyed meeting many friendly people and quickly feeling at home. It was a nice surprise to find that there is a small nondenominational church on the island and enjoyed services each Sunday morning. The heated pool provided a refreshing break, and the informal library meant we could have done without the books we brought. This was a great vacation!

Wonderful Week

5 of 5
Submitted: March 2, 2013 Stayed: February 2013
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in your comfortable condo on beautiful Little Gasparilla. It truly is a Little Piece of Paradise.... a beautiful beach that went on almost forever and felt almost like it was our private vacation spot. We had an interesting start to our week, with winds brisk enough that the ferry couldn't run, but our hosts were kind enough to provide us with private boat transportation over so that we didn't miss any of our precious time on the island.
The condo was very comfortable and tastefully decorated. There is everything needed for cooking and eating at the condo, which we did every day. The only things we needed besides our food and drinks were paper goods and salt & pepper. Brad was kind enough to leave fishing rods for my husband to use, and the golf cart was a definite plus for getting around on!
Kim was so helpful, answering any questions we had by email before we arrived, and even after we got there when we couldn't figure out the dish tv. :)
We loved every minute of our stay, including the beautiful weather, the time spent on the screened-in porch looking out over the pond, the very friendly people we met on the ferry and on the beach, and everything about the condo. We can't wait to come back next year and spend a week relaxing and walking the beach finding shells and shark teeth! It truly is a little piece of Paradise!

A getaway place

We had a great time on Little Gasparilla Island. The condo was nice and everyone we met was very nice. We spent every day on the beach which was beautiful and so relaxing. We loved the fact that there was no commercial conveniences on the island but had the option to take the ferry into town. We were there a week and only went in two times for very short visits because we did not want to leave the beauty of the island. We hope to go back and can stay longer.

Thanks for the note. We have absolutely loved every day of our stay at your lovely home. We found everything as described and very nice decorated. It was very close to the beach and dock and we ate dinner every night on the screened porch. We enjoyed the peaceful nature and the beach and were so happy to explore this beautiful island with provided golf cart. Also it was very convenient being able to use the ferry this time ( it is our second visit to this island, we stayed at different location the first time). Kim and Brad were very helpful and easy to deal with. Thank you for sharing your home with us! We would definetely stay here again. Have a blessed Christmas and New Year!
