Little Gasparilla Cloud 9 Cloud 9 on the beach - Little Gasparilla Island! Your vacation destination to relax & enjoy life at I fell in love with everything about the island.

In 2008, my boyfriend brought me to Little Gasparilla Island for the first time. In 2012, we came back as husband and wife and brought our daughter. She opted to stay on the island the entire week and skip the Florida attractions. Like us she was hooked. We took her fishing, shell and shark tooth hunting and taught her how to boogie board. In 2016, we came back with all three of our children. We v

isited the Florida sites, but gave most the time to our little island. It was during this time that my husband and I started talking about how perfect it would be to retire on Little Gasparilla. We found some land and when we got home we started negotiations. We closed on the property and came back in the spring of 2017 to see the land and start to visual our dream. Pilings went up in the fall of 2017 and the house is starting to become a reality. My husband and I are not ready to retire yet, so we made the decision to rent out our dream so that others can come to paradise and enjoy it as much as we do. We would love for you to come visit and share your memories. One visit and we are sure you will be hooked like us, and we would love to hear about the memories that you have made. We will continue to post pictures from our visits and of the creation of the house. Rentals will be available in 2018. We are so excited to have you make our home and island yours.

Just introduced our first new guest to Cloud 9/LGI since Hurricane Helene and Milton. Love what they shared……(photos are courtesy of them as well)

Cloud 9 on Little Gasparilla is a dream come true. This stunning beachfront home offers a perfect blend of comfort, privacy, and natural beauty. The destruction from the hurricanes is visible on the island, but it did not affect our vacation.

From the minute we walked in, we were drawn to the stunning views of the Gulf. The large windows and doors let in plenty of natural light, and the spacious decks, where we spent a majority of our days, are perfect for watching breathtaking sunsets, enjoying a quiet morning with coffee and sunbathing.

The layout of the home is ideal for both relaxation and entertaining. The open concept living space flows seamlessly into the fully equipped, dream kitchen, which had everything we needed to cook meals. The bedrooms were cozy and comfortable, with the primary suite offering a peaceful retreat including a seating area, private deck, and an en-suite bathroom with a large whirlpool bath tub—perfect for unwinding after a day at the beach. There are games and puzzles to use for evening family time, which I appreciated.

The beach was steps from the house and so quiet, no crowds to fight for a spot in the sand! It is a fantastic spot for shelling, swimming, or simply lounging in the sun. There are no cars on the island, so you can easily walk or rent a golf cart to get around, adding to the sense of tranquility. We spent hours walking the beach collecting shells and shark teeth.

The owners, Sara and Cory, were friendly and responsive, ensuring our stay was as smooth and enjoyable as possible and helpful with suggestions and information.

There were tears when it was time to leave, but we will be back as often as we can. In short, if you are looking for a serene getaway in a beautiful, remote location, Cloud 9 checks all the boxes.

Just met a woman on the We Love LGI page, who told me that her sister got engaged at Cloud 9. They were staying at LaLa Land and he stopped on our steps to propose. I just love hearing these stories.

Hard to believe the sand from Helene and Milton is higher than our boardwalk in this photo.

More shark teeth photos. These were also found on the beach of LGI.

Been getting a lot of questions about sharks teeth and shelling after the hurricanes. Here are my daughter’s finds in November when we came down for hurricane cleanup.

The view is a little different, but the main attraction still shines bright. (Ignore my hurricane cleanup crew dancing on the beach. 😉 They were glad for the needed break.)

Love seeing the green coming back!!

The walk from behind the house to front. We lost the boardwalk but have a lot of sand for a lovely walk to the beach. House is back to its pre-hurricane state, minus the owners storage underneath. Just need greenbag pickup.

Again, thank you to family, friends and neighbors who helped. Won’t name you, but know we are very grateful and blessed to have you in our lives.

A great find on the beach in between cleanup. Whole with no blemishes!

Looking through some old photos, and realized I missed Cloud 9’s anniversary!
We broke ground in November 2017. What an adventure! So grateful for Glen, Sari, Karl, Les, Aron and Max for making our dream come true and for also rebuilding that dream when needed after storms. We didn’t just gain a beautiful home but a great group of friends.

The difference of September 2023 trip of leisure vs October 2024 trip of cleanup. Still beautiful, just a different look. ❤️🌴🐢
