About this property

PRIVATE HEATED POOL! 150 Steps to Beach! No property management fees!

Gulf Breeze is a cozy Key West style coastal cottage ideally located 150 steps to the beautiful white sand beach. The property is a 1 bedroom, 1 bath cottage with a very comfortable king bed that is ideal for island getaways. One of just a few one bedroom villas on the island with completely private heated pool. The pool is heated to 85 degrees weather permitting. Come home from the beach and unwind by the pool surrounded by lush tropical landscaping. Enjoy dining alfresco on the private patio. Relax with a lovely glass of wine, read a book or simply enjoy listening to the waves on the patio swing. The free Island trolley stop is directly across the street that will take you from one end of the island to the other. The ever popular Monkey Bus provides free "trips for tips" and offer door to door service. Our villa is located in the middle and most desirable, residential areas on the quieter north end of Anna Maria Island. We have one security camera facing the street. You are welcome to deactivate the camera during your stay by simply switching off the light switch located in the living room if preferred. Our beach house is surrounded by beautiful custom homes steps to the beautiful beach. Close to restaurants and shopping.

Beach Paradise

This cottage was perfect for our first stay on Anna Maria Island. Centrally located in Holmes Beach, we were close to everything on the island. We were literally steps from the beach but our street was quiet with minimal traffic. The cottage was spotlessly clean, incredibly well appointed, and was the perfect space for a couple. The interior has been lovingly redone after the hurricane and every detail has been thought of. The exterior space is just as wonderful with the very private and secluded pool as well as the lovely lenai for dining or visiting. The owner could not have been more helpful and attentive and yet she respected our desire for privacy. I highly recommend this beautiful cottage if you want to enjoy a beach paradise!

Fantastic location and beautiful private space

Hubbie and I spent a week at Jeannine's lovely 1 bedroom duplex and loved our stay. We were the first guests post renovation after Hurricane Helene and Jeannine was gracious enough to meet us there to go over everything and make sure we had everything we needed. Spotlessly clean, extremely well equipped kitchen for a foodie, and one of the most comfortable beds we have ever slept in. Pool was heated so we could enjoy time despite the cool weather. Beach was a very short 4 minute walk, made easier by the beach cart, and chairs. Jeannine-a special thank you for the spices in the kitchen and the backgammon set!!! Jackie & John

Such a wonderful home!

My husband and I stayed for a week and we fell in love with the home and area! The house is so close to the beach. When you are done at the beach you can always relax in the pool. The host is so helpful and informative. She directed us to the best restaurants in the area which was super helpful. If you are looking to relax in a cozy beach home, this home is the right one for you.

Fantastic Cottage

So close to the beach we didn’t even set up chairs or umbrellas at the beach just walked back and forth as we felt like it and lounged by the pool. It was so convenient! I LOVED having a private pool!! The owner is so kind and helpful. This place was perfect for what we wanted to do. It was a true escape.

Great location and great accommodations.

We stayed week of January 13th - 20th and the house was as described. Very comfortable and a short walk to the beach. Plenty of beach gear provided. Weather was a little cool but we still had a few sunny days on the beach. The owner was very accessible and was a pleasure to meet.

Wonderful week in paradise!

As described, nice quiet neighborhood, steps from the beach access, and the private heated back yard pool. The weather was not the best for the beach during our stay, so we took advantage of the pool, which is private and sheltered, so those windy days didn't matter. Still did daily walks on the beach, but spent our time by the pool. Great location, walked to local bar/ restaurants, trolley stop, etc. Jeannine, the host, is super and caring, will definitely be staying here again.
