The cottages are super cute and right in the beach. They have everything you need to stay for days and I spent a full hour in the hammock relaxing one morning with no noise but the birds. Awesome. Quiet. Get some groceries and enjoy the island time.

The view from upstairs was great. The proximity to the beach was a real plus. There was not a sharp knife in the silverware drawer. The bottom step of the stairway was not level. There was a musty smell in the room. These are minor issues, our stay was great and we are very pleased.

Absolutely wonderful!

Pros: Everything.
Cons: Nothing.
Location: Location is ideal. Easy beach access and close to all types of shopping.
My husband and I stayed at Gulf Breeze Cottages for a long weekend getaway. The cottages are very clean and even better than the pictures. We had one of the king rooms, which was exactly what we were looking for-plenty of room for 2 people. Newly remodeled bathroom. Parking is right next to the cottage. Beach towels, umbrellas, and chairs/loungers are free of charge. The beach is approximately 50 yards from the property, so going back and forth to the cottage as needed is easy. Atmosphere is perfect for couples looking for a quiet, relaxing environment. No chain-hotel issues of parking, long walking distances, or noisy neighbors. We also solved the 'poor wi-fi' issue mentioned in a review: TURN OFF THE PHONE AND GO TO THE BEACH!! :)

What a wonderful discovery!

Pros: Not much not to like - comfort, privacy, direct access to the beach, and to rental bikes for exploring the island.
Cons: The prospects that the owner will be able to withstand the pressure of selling out to a developer of yet another condo complex.
Location: Sanibel Island offers a wildlife preserve, nature cruises, kayak rentals, guided tours to learn about the island ecology, and miles of bike paths.
These dozen or so cottages are a hidden gem; a brilliant example of, unfortunately, a dying breed of lodging. The one we stayed in was immaculate. The interior of our cottage was either recently made-over or was just amazingly well maintained, very comfortable and well supplied. With direct access to the beach and with rental bikes on-site, and with our own deck made for sitting back under the umbrella with a morning cup of coffee and a good book, we couldn't have asked for more. The staff was friendly and very helpful. The grounds were lovingly cared for. It was our second visit to Sanibel Island and we continue to discover just what a unique and special community it is.

Quiet cottages with a feel of home

Pros: The staff were very helpful and friendly. Close to the beach. It's the perfect setting for a quiet and laid back vacation.
Cons: N/A
Location: Great location. You can get anywhere on the bicycles that are provided.
We stayed at The Gulf Breeze Cottages over the Christmas holiday. The cottages are exactly as advertised. Close to the beach and very quaint. The staff are very helpful and friendly. The next time we decide to head to Sanibel Island, Fl, we will be staying here again! We had a great time and I look forward to visiting again!
