I read great reviews of Gulf Breeze and watched YouTube videos. However I was a bit nervous about staying there. This fear totally changed once I got to the property and saw our cottage. I've been to 14 countries and have vacationed in Florida close to a dozen times. I am say with 100% honesty that staying at Gulf Breeze was probably the most enjoyable vacation I have ever had. We only stayed for 3 nights because we stayed at Siesta Key, and Ft. Myers Beach. I wish we would have booked the entire week at Gulf Breeze. Every time I would open the cottage door there was wildlife. Birds, tons of rabbits, geckos, and on and on. You are just steps away from one of if not the nicest beach I've ever seen. Tons of beautiful shells, crystal clear water, and no drop offs when you wade into the water. The staff is available but do not disturb you. We used the outdoor grills, and relaxed in their hammocks as we looked up at the coconut palms. The rooms were spotless and had pots, pans,coffee pot,toaster,etc. If I could live there I would. I just don't have the words to thank the owners for the great time we had. My next vacation will be at Gulf Breeze. No question about it!!!
