Step into a simpler time with this cozy Cape Cod-style cottage, where beach vacations feel timeless and the pace is set to "relax." Located on the Gulf side of beautiful Longboat Key, this cottage offers a quiet coastal escape filled with old Florida charm.
Wildlife lovers, take note: Tortoises, egrets, wild parrots, and even Longboat Key’s famous peacocks may wander by, adding a splash of nature to your stay.

Primary bedroom with a king bed
Queen sofa bed in the living room
Shared hallway bathroom
Galley kitchen with full-size appliances and essentials

Why they chose this property
We have come to love Longboat Key for the relaxed "no fuss" atmosphere. The Gulf of Mexico is famous for gorgeous blue water and white sand beaches. We love the quiet and carefree pace that comes with the absence of high-rise buildings. We hope you do too!
