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: • Queen bed
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
