The Space:

Stay steps from the beach at this charming Gulf-side cottage!

The cottage was extremely clean, no marks in the bathroom around the fixtures or anything!!I had to ask a question about departure and was responded to right away.The beach is visible from the kitchen window! And steps away from the front door.Show and restaurants are right across the street. Even though it was a busy area, there was no noise at night from the street.

We’re so glad Key Lime Cottage gave you a comfortable place to settle in while keeping the beach, dining, and entertainment just steps away. It’s wonderful when guests can enjoy the energy of the area and still unwind in a peaceful cottage at night. We appreciate you choosing to stay with us.

The Keylime Cottage was an excellent place for our stay. The location to the Gulf is unmatched. Almost everything you need is within walking distance. The house was perfect for us and we will definitely be back to stay again for our next visit to the area.

Property was beautiful. Really close to the beach and had everything you needed. Kitchen was a bit too well equipped as wasn't any cupboard space to put food!Bathroom is a Jack & Jill style so accessed from both bedrooms which wasn't ideal with a 16 year old with us but we coped! Only issue we had was the air conditioning unit was very noisy but worked well and was definitely needed!Would stay there again without hesitation.

Thank you for staying at Key Lime Cottage and for your thoughtful review. We’re so pleased the home’s location and amenities worked well for your trip and that you’d stay again. We appreciate your feedback about kitchen storage—we’ll share this with housekeeping and the owner to explore better food-storage solutions—and we’ll have maintenance check the A/C to address the noise. We also understand the Jack-and-Jill bathroom layout may not suit every group and will make sure that detail is clear in the listing to help future guests. Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience.

The proximity to the beach at this price was incredible. If you’re looking for easy beach access this is definitely the place for you. The unit itself could use some TLC is some areas, but nothing that makes it not a great place to stay.
