Beautiful Island Condo

Beautiful condo in a great location! The owners were excellent in communicating with us and did so very promptly. The condo was well equipped and the kids loved the paddle board! The golf cart was above average compared to the other units on the island. We would definitely rent this unit again!

Wonderful Stay!

We truly enjoyed our stay here. The property is updated and very clean and Ashley and Trent were incredibly helpful both before and during our stay with any questions that we had. The ferry through the condo complex is a great asset and the access to the beach was easy. We had plenty of room for our family of five. The kitchen is well stocked and there are plenty of towels for the beach - plenty of toys (noodles, buckets, paddle board, kayak, shell rake), too. I would not hesitate to rent from Ashley and Trent again! Thank you for sharing your property with us!

Perfect get-a-way, clean, friendly owners!

Ashely and Trent were very accomodating during the booking process. Their place is very nice, clean, had everything included/necessary for a sweet get-a-way! My 8 year old son enjoyed the private beach that wasn't overcrowded and we found so many sharks teeth. We snorkeled the crystal clear water and he enjoyed the golf cart rides around the quiet island. Thanks again for a great stay, we will be back! ~Jessica Perry

Great Condo Location with all amenities

Lovely condo, nicely furnished and well equipped. The golf buggy was a bonus and helped us transport chairs etc to the beach. The kitchen is well equipped for self catering and includes a slow cooker which worked really well for us. Gasperilla did not disappoint, this was our fourth visit and we loved the peaceful nature of the island, long walks and it goes without saying … the sharks teeth!! We will return.

Wonderful Trip

My wife and I spent a week at this condo with our three year old son. We had a wonderful time on our trip. The weather was perfect and the condo was "as advertised". There was nothing we needed that the condo didn't have available. The golf cart that was available came into great use shuttling our stuff up to the beach. We can't wait to come back!

Paradise is just a ferry ride away!!

Loved this property and HBBC on LGI. The chill relaxing atmosphere was heavenly. Enjoyed sitting on the beautiful white sand beach, collecting unique shells and many sharks teeth. The unit was updated and very clean. Owner was a great communicator. I was hoping to stay again for the same time next year, but it’s already booked.
