Gulf-Front Charm with Old Florida Soul-2BR Cottage
Flashback to the golden days of beach vacations, where sunsets were your screen time and nature was your entertainment. This cottage is a timeless 2-bedroom retreat perched just steps from the Gulf of Mexico on laid-back Longboat Key. Here, tortoises amble, parrots chatter, and if you’re lucky, you might catch a glimpse of one of the island’s famous peacocks strutting by.
Step inside this elevated cottage (stairs required!) and into a cozy yet spacious getaway designed for relaxing, reconnecting, and soaking up that salty breeze.
Primary Bedroom: King-sized bed + private ensuite
Guest Bedroom: Queen bed with access to the hallway bath
