We just got back from Sanibel Island in Florida. Gulf Breeze Cottages was the very best ever! We did a photo tour for a week and the owner Sandy and her managers Art and Glen and facilities Mgr Alex were the best. They work like Spartans to make it fun for you!. Bikes and the best shelling on Sanibel or... More

Simple. Great location. Great people. We booked this property sight unseen and it's a great place. it's not fancy but within 100 ft of the Gulf. Our family (with two teens) found the two bedroom cottage perfect. What makes it great is there are only 10 small cottages on the property. They have grills near every cottage and a nice... More

My wife and I just returned from five days of sun on the beach at Sanibel. We weren't interested in a busy high-rise condo, so were lucky enough to happen upon Gulf Breeze Cottages. Only a dozen units, each fully equipped and literally just steps from the beach. We stayed in one of the two upstairs efficiencies, which was just... More

This cottage was fantastic. My husband, myself, and our 2 kids ages 1 and 2 had a great time. First off we had unit #12. Its a 2/1. This cottage came with more than we thought. The cottage was in excellent condition. The housemaid did a great job. Her cleaning was to the tee all the way down to wiping... More

My husband and I with our two teenage children spent a week at Gulf Breeze Cottages on Sanibal, Island. We stayed in cottage number 8. It was lovely, spacious and close to the beach. Cottage 8 is much larger in life than it is in photos. The grounds are lovely and it is only a short walk to the beach... More

We stayed at Gulf Breeze Cottages from Feb. 9 to Feb. 16, 2012 and really enjoyed it. This is a small group of cottages of varying size close to the beach and away from busy roads. Most of the other properties on Sanibel are condos, we really liked the individual cottage. It was simple but clean and well maintained, Mike... More

Spent 3 nights at this family run property the end of January. Everyone was as pleasant in person as they had been via email. It is a lovely, beach front, quiet and cozy location. Our room was large with a great front porch area .... perfect to display our shells !! The rooms are very close to the beach and... More

to reviewed, but all in all I can recommend it, if you are prepared to not to meet perfection in every detail. We spent 2 nights in one cabin and then had to move to another one, but we knew that in advance. Both cottages were well equipped, plenty of dishes, large fridge, clean and a bit of shabby chique...

Off the beaten path, literally. You turn off a main road onto a dirt one to find these cottages. Immediately, we were charmed by this old world Floridian beach front property. It is nestled into the landscape where you go back in time which is unusual in this day and age. Gulf Breeze Cottages are a stand out gem. The... More

great beach hut style accomodation a few steps from the beach. The only criticism would be the price is a bit steep for what you get.

First of all thank you for taking the time to review our cottages on this website. I am glad you had a relaxing trip. However, I disagree with you on the price of staying here. I feel we are one of the better deals out on Sanibel. Maybe for your next visit you can come in the fall. Thanks again. More
