Throwback Charm Meets Beach Bliss 1BR Cottage
Step back in time to the golden days of beach vacations—think breezy porches, tiki huts, and palm-fringed paths that lead straight to relaxation. Nestled in the heart of Longboat Key, this cheerful cottage combines retro charm with modern comforts for a truly memorable coastal escape.
Your private retreat is full of character and comfort, with a galley kitchen featuring full-sized appliances for easy meals and morning coffee rituals. The primary bedroom offers a king bed, while the cozy living room includes a queen sleeper sofa, creating space for up to four guests. A shared bath and beachy décor make it feel like home—only better.
Enjoy side and diagonal Gulf views right from your porch as you soak in the salty air and laid-back island vibe.
Longboat Key is alive with wildlife—tortoises, egrets, wild parrots, and if you’re lucky, one of the island’s famous peacocks might strut by. Little Gull Cottage fits right in, with its timeless style and natural surroundings.
Please Note:
Stairs are required to access this unit
No pets, no smoking or vaping, and no parties
Must be 21+ to rent and check in
Refundable security hold due at check-in
While we keep amenities in tip-top shape, maintenance may occur—and we strive to handle it swiftly.

Ready to trade screen time for sunshine? This cottage is the perfect blend of retro fun and modern-day comfort—just steps from the sand.
