Our vacation began just fine, until we checked out. Check out is 10am, no flexibility. We had a cool box and electronics we asked to hold for 1 hour inside the office or our cottage because it was too hot to put in the car and their response was no. I asked if while the cleaner was cleaning if they... More

Best feature...LOCATION. Stayed the last week in March 2013 in cottage #10(closest one to beach) with another couple. Nothing fancy but CLEAN and all the creature comforts you could want. Even a grill and pavilion to use just off the beach! Other than sharing one shower, our cottage was just fine. Would be perfect for family of four. SERVICE: my... More

This was a last minute Spring "break" for myself and my older children (college-age). The Gulf Breeze cottages are located in a little cove, nestled between some condos. The office staff is very nice and helpful, and we had no issues with check-in/check-out. The one thing that I would say is...it was more than 500 steps to the beach (for... More

We stayed at this cottage complex for 2 nights in January 2013. We drove over from Fort Lauderdale after a cruise, a pleasant drive on I-75. We were a party of 5 and rented cottage 12A, a cottage in the complex with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. This cottage was unique in that it was separate from the other cottages... More

Gulf Breeze Cottages Loved this place. Tucked away of Gulf Drive, on a private shell-paved road, the cottage we had was clean, quiet and comfortable. I could end the here. But I’ll go on. Three steps up from ground level, non wheelchair accessible, for those who are interested, you enter you own little domain. The kitchen is equipped for those... More

We recently rented two Gulf Breeze cottages for a family vacation. One was a cottage directly on the Gulf and the other was about 100 ft. away. Both cottages were spotless and very well maintained by the owners, who are very helpful and welcoming. The Gulf front cottage (number 10) has a nice view of the beach, a porch with... More

We decided on a last minute overnight trip to the beach. We had never visited Sanibel and wanted to check it out. With that in mind we were able to book the night before. The woman we spoke to was very friendly and wonderful in person too. (Hi Sandi) When we arrived everyone was very helpful in making sure we... More

Rooms smell of seaweeds and I was about to vomit couple of times. It may look clean but in reality it was not a clean place at all. Noise from people walking upstairs was too too loud. Do not be fooled by photos as ocean view is not good from rooms. On top of that Sandy and Glen are not... More

Dear Sir, Im sorry you were under the impression that you would have top floor efficiency. Our records showed you having reserved a non-floor specific efficieny. We had made arrangements to rectify the problem and move you the next night to a Gulf Front unit at no additional charge. However, it was your decision to leave. As to the level... More

My wife and I came without reservations and were given a list of vacancies by the Chamber of Commerce. We looked at 2 other places, but neither was as close to the water as Gulf Breeze. The room was very clean and had everything we needed. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We couldn't have picked a better place.
