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. Our beach house is surrounded by beautiful custom homes steps to the beautiful beach. Close to restaurants and shopping.

Everything was absolutely wonderful! The house was decorated beautifully and updated and modern. It was immaculate.We rode the bikes and swam in the private pool almost daily. The beach was steps away from the property. Jeannine, our host, was so friendly and helpful! I have been recommending this spot to all my friends and family. We had a blast!

Our host was fantastic. Very welcoming and friendly. We very much enjoyed our interactions. The villa is decorated so comfortably and beautifully. Loved the Pier tiles above the stove. The pool in back is just perfect after a day at the beach or honestly at any time. Completely private! The walk to the beach is 2 minutes tops. We had a wonderful time and wouldn’t hesitate to return.
