Little Gasparilla Island-Hideaway Gulfront bldg. K

We escaped to Hideaway Bay for Spring Break. Julie was fabulous at communication, fast at answering any and all questions regarding our stay. LGI is a private island with NO car transportation but the FREE ferry is the best. If you stay at other properties, you will have to pay for a water taxi, which was $25 each ride, when we stayed. The captains were kind, helpful, and always prompt, following the posted schedule, running about every 2 hours throughout the day time hours. The fenced and gated parking for our vehicle was convenient. We parked temporarily at ferry landing, unloaded our things into the NICE carts provided for transportation of all of our luggage over to the island and to our accomodations and then parked our car in the parking area. Publix is located just 1 1/2 short miles from ferry landing, providing an easy place to pick up all necessary food items for there is no place to eat on the island. K4 is probably the closest unit to the beach. We did not rent a golf cart because it wasn't necessary for us. You WILL NOT need it to access the beach. K4 is probably the farthest from the pool but only about a 5 minute, very easy, walk. For an older facility, the grounds are very nicely kept and clean. The beach area is AMAZING. It is peaceful and quiet with lots and lots of perfect shells and more sharks teeth than you could ever collect.

K4 was a clean unit. It is not an updated unit but is moderately decorated and not cluttered. It was fairly spacious and comfortable for our family of 5. There were a few beach toys, not the greatest, so I would bring my own. Same with the beach chairs. There are some provided but we wished we had brought our own. We have 2 teenagers and they were interested in having WiFi, of course. The WiFi was terrible. We almost had none most of our stay. The TV service is provided through Direct TV. It was cloudy a lot while we were there and TV service was not the best, specifically in the bedrooms. Wasn't a big deal for us but it was for our kids.

All in all, it was an amazing stay. We WILL be back and stay at Hideaway Bay. Everyone was so friendly and helpful but we also felt like it was private and we could escape from the busyness of our lives and enjoy one another. Thank you Julie for sharing your place with us. We gave it a 4 star rating because it is in need of updating, especially the bathrooms.

Loved being so close to the beach. Julie was great to work with, wonderful with her communication. We will be back!

Our days were spent relaxing on the beautiful beach and our evenings spent lounging in the condo.

We really enjoyed our stay in this condo. It has everything you need, is clean, and is the closest condo to the beach of all the Hideaway Condos. Great communication with the owner as well. We would definitely stay here again!

This was a unique experience. I have never traveled to an island with no automobile transportation. It was wonderful. No noise, no hassles and some of the most friendly people that I have ever met. It is a true slice I can mingle or just have peace and quiet if I want. Luckily I experienced both. The condo was in excellent shape when I arrived and most importantly, the mattresses were comfortable. Go There!!!!!!!
