Stayed in cottage #1 and it was an absolute dream! I cant say enough good things about the location and view from the cottage. The complex is quiet and feels like you are miles away from civilization, however, conveniently located close to area attractions. The only negatives are the carpet throughout the cottage (which is not very practical for the... More

My in-laws live in Sarasota which was the reason for our trip. I didn't think I would like Florida, and I am not fond of high rise buildings on the beach. Thank goodness I found Little Gull Cottages. Our cottage was quaint, well equipped, and spotless. (not a palmetto bug in site--what a shame someone had to write that unjustified... More

We love Longboat Key and especially, Little Gull Cottages. It is a small resort, immaculate, comfortable and private. It is one of the most relaxing places we've visited. We are not looking for entertainment, activities or tourist attractions and enjoyed quiet hours by the pool reading and long walks on the sugar white beach. We stay in a unit on... More

This resort is not for you if you want daily activities, pool parties, bar scene and night life on site. It is for the discriminating traveler who enjoys a quiet relaxed atmosphere in beautifully maintained cottages on the beach. There are only 16 cottages - 8 on the beach side and 8 on the bay side . All have upgraded... More

Little Gull is definitely the way to go for beachfront accommodations. We had a 2 bedroom private cottage on the beachside (there are also cottages on bayside). It was a quiet area yet right across the street from Center Shops. Walking on the beach is a favorite. The cottage was very clean, newly decorated with nice furniture and a beautiful... More

We decided to stay in Florida instead of venture elsewhere this year. I'm happy we did. Long Boat Key is a laid-back area but not far from Sarasota or even St. Armands Circle, if you are looking for a busier area. We stayed in unit 4/beach side for a week and never really left the key. There is a "courtyard"... More

Since have lived in Florida my whole life, but traveled everywhere, the most perfect New Years vacation spot was a beach and a room with a fireplace, how romantic! The room was wonderful and cozy, ample room for a couple. Even though it did not get cold on New Years (around the 60s-70s) we still lite the fireplace for the... More

I happened upon this property quite by accident six years ago ,while searching for a Gulf front accommodation on Longboat Key. It was love at first sight! No more highrise condos for us. We rented for the first three years and when a cottage directly on the beach became available for purchase, we were absolutely thrilled and closed in a... More

Little Gull is a wonderful place to take your family. We bought our week in the middle of June about 4 yrs ago and no regrets at all. We used to stay at my uncles condo in Holmes Beach and decided how nice the area truly was. When we found Little Gull we where very excicted. After doing the research,... More
