Welcome to Wasi Mati (Zulu for “Blue Water”). Designed for those who are drawn to the beach every moment of every day. Walking in your breath will be stolen by direct views of the Gulf from every room. If you’re looking for a slightly easier, more upscale, yet very private feeling Little Gasparilla Island escape, you’ve found your new island home away from home.

Our fully renovated and luxurious Placida Beach condo, with 2 (plus) bedrooms each with its own ensuite bathroom and private lanai, is the perfect place to doze to the lapping waves. Our upper-level flex space can transform from lounge to yoga room to spillover sleeping with two extra comfy Twin fold-outs. Directly beachfront, with spectacular views of the ocean and setting sun, our condo is a great fit for a romantic getaway, girlfriends' getaway, two couples, or a small quiet family looking for beach time.

Park in our complimentary, secure gated parking area on the mainland, load up a trolly with your groceries and bag, roll it straight onto the complimentary hourly ferry service, roll it straight off onto the dock on the island and straight to the front of our condo.

After a day at the beach, take a dip in the year-round climate-controlled freshwater pool before retreating to one of our three private beachfront screened-in lanais. Slink down into the crisp, cool, bright white 100% Organic Bamboo Sateen linens, on new comfortable luxurious mattresses, to dream about your perfect beach day.

Our foodie friends will appreciate the well-equipped modern kitchen to prepare simple beach picnics or gourmet feasts. We keep the kitchen well stocked with high-end basics and condiments for the holistically minded, such as avocado oil, coconut oil, olive oil, Himalayan pink salt, coconut sugar, and a full suite of organic spices and dried herbs. And for our fellow wellness junkies, we provide yoga mats, blocks, and straps to get your Om on while meditating to the gulf view.

For those that want their “sports fix”, we have a large flat-screen Smart TV combined with high-speed Starlink internet. A separate work area is available if you need to catch up with work emails … we hope you don't!

Our bathrooms feature organic, sulfate-free shampoo and body wash, reef-safe sunscreen, DEET-free (essential oil-based) bug spray along with quick-drying Organic Cotton Turkish Towels.

If you've been waiting to enjoy Little Gasparilla Island in luxury, we can’t wait to welcome you to Wasi Mati “Blue Water” for your next island escape to rest, relax, restore, and breathe deeply.

About the host: Hi There! We’re Kristin and Chris Our island adventure goes all the way back to our elopement on a small island in the Indian Ocean. Hoping to recreate that same sense of bliss a little closer to home (Colorado), we discovered Little Gasparilla Island many years ago. We purchased a large home on the south end of the island to form memories with our daughters when they were young (some of you may have enjoyed our Ukuthula House). When our little shorebirds flew the coop, we decided we wanted an easier and lower maintenance island life. We honed in on the Placida Beach Condos as they tend to be quieter and more upscale feeling than other options on LGI. Since we couldn’t decide between our favorite view, beach or bay, we decided to buy one of each! Chris and I love a good renovation project, so we lived in (and redecorated) our bayfront unit while fully renovating the beachfront unit (search for Wasi Mati): a total gut job...not an easy feat on a bridgeless barrier island. We have traveled all over the world (Chris is from South Africa, and I have spent the bulk of my career traveling to world-class resorts). While we love the barefoot tranquility of LGI, we do appreciate a beautiful place to stay. I’m taking my 28 years of real estate investing experience, mixed with a long career of being wined and dined in some of the nicest hotels around the world and infusing just a tiny bit of both into our two new breathtaking LGI condos. If you’re looking for that perfect blend of a low-key LGI immersion mixed with a more upscale island accommodation (not to mention coveted complimentary ferry and trash service), you’ve found your new home away from home! *I manage every detail of our properties personally and want to make sure they’re a great fit for you and you’re a great fit for our lovely island neighbors. Happy Island Dreaming, Kristin

Why this property? You cannot beat these unobstructed water views from every room in the condo! Add to that mainland parking, ferry service, trash pickup service and a heated pool... this is LGI living in luxury!
