This cottage is a timeless 2-bedroom retreat perched just steps from the Gulf of Mexico on laid-back Longboat Key.

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!
