Little Gull 2BR Cottage with Ultimate Views of the Famous Sunsets
Step back in time and settle into a slice of Old Florida at Little Gull Cottage, a 2-bedroom, 2-bath coastal retreat that blends beachy charm with modern comfort. Perched above the shoreline (yes, there are stairs—but the view is worth every step), this Gulf-front gem offers a front-row seat to Longboat Key’s natural magic: think wild parrots, graceful egrets, slow-moving tortoises, and if you’re lucky, a peacock strutting by in full fanfare.
Inside the Cottage: Primary Bedroom: • King bed • Private ensuite bath
Guest Bedroom: • Two Twin Beds
Living Room: • Queen sofa bed for extra guests • Fireplace, comfy seating, and the perfect vibe for evening chats or rainy-day card games
Kitchen: • Full kitchen with basic essentials for simple meals or your morning brew ritual • Enjoy your coffee on the private porch, with one of the best views in the resort
What to Know: • Stairs are required to reach the cottage—pack light and wear comfy shoes • No pets, no smoking or vaping, no parties • Must be 21+ to rent and check in • Security deposit hold required at check-in (fully refundable after inspection) • Occasionally, maintenance happens—we strive to handle it quickly and with care
If you’re craving that throwback beach vacation—sand between your toes, wildlife out your window, and a cozy cottage to call your own—Little Gull is calling. Come find out why Longboat Key is the Florida you didn’t know you were missing.
