Our 1 Bedroom beach cottage contains all the personal comforts to make your stay memorable. Besides the spotless kitchen and bath, this up-to-date unit includes cable TV with DVD/VCR, designer bedding and a king size bed to relax day or nght.

One of the nicest features of this unit is the unmistakable attention to cleanliness and details that only a discriminating owner can provide. One stay and you will agree!

Located in the heart of the Clearwater/Saint Pete beaches, our cottage offers easy access to great restaurants, supermarkets, shopping, golf courses, and nightlife. Historic John's Pass Village is a mere one-mile stroll down Gulf Boulevard.

Cottage 23 is very comfortable and private.
We liked the privacy since the sidewalk does not go by the door and it is far from the road. The kitchen was well stocked and the bed was very comfortable. Dave the manager and Sue the cleaner were hospitable and accommodating. The beach is right across the street and there are places nearby to walk to for meals out. The room was equipped with lots of towels including pool towels. Having a coin washer and dryer on site was helpful. We loved our stay and plan on coming back again!

Just what we needed!
We were looking for a very affordable, yet comfortable place to stay during our quick trip to Florida and that is just what we got! The house was cozy and comfortable for our 3-night stay. Our kids loved the pool and watching the geckos; the beach was a very short walk away. The owner was extremely responsive and very friendly. Overall, we were very pleased!

Place was nice, had everything we needed. There was a dead cockroach under our bathroom sink. The pool was kind of dirty as well. The housekeeper thought we cancelled our stay when we got there, and stopped us from going in at first, and then was knocking on our door at 10am on our last day when checkout was at 11am. We loved the location, and it was perfect for a little girls trip! We also didn’t realize the washers and dryers weren’t in our house, and that we had to pay for them. But overall the stay was great!

The property is just as the listing states. My husband and two young boys thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Gulf Gardens! It is a great location, close to the beach and many excellent restaurants. John was quick to respond to emails and very accommodating. Would highly recommend and hope to return in the future!

Short and sweet
Our stay was short and sweet. Perfect little pool for my daughter to enjoy. And perfect location right across from the beach. Loved the other guests staying there. Felt completely safe and would love to return. The only downside was the tv in the bedroom was a smart TV that required us to hook up to it to utilize the apps. Not a huge deal, but something to keep in mind. Overall though, we loved our stay

Spring Break Getaway
My family of four found this property to be perfect for a quick trip to the beach. We were pleasantly surprised at the the condition of the property as it appears to have had some upgrades that were not reflected in the online photos. Additionally, the unit was well stocked with soaps and paper products, we had a grocery delivery waiting for us upon our arrival and didn’t need some of the staples we had ordered. The atmosphere in the complex was very laid back, it seemed that most of the other guests were snowbirds from the north enjoying a long stay. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating and there was a beach access almost directly across the street. The unit had a nice view of the pool area and we enjoyed most meals outside on the porch. We found the unit complex to be a hidden gem and the owner to be very responsive. We would definitely return.

Great location and amenities
Quaint little bungalo that is located near many restaurants and a across from the beach. Only confusion we had was the property mgr listed on VRBO was incorrect and wrong phone number. Real mgr number listed on office door and responded immediately on access to the unit. No hair-dryer or iron. Had a great week!

Fabulous Experience
We hopped down for labor day weekend with our 13-year old son for a quick beach getaway. This place exceeded expectations! The bed was so comfortable, the location was absolutely perfect. The pool was clean and inviting and the beach just across the street was uncrowded and just perfect. Everyone was so nice. Just loved it.

Enjoyable Stay
We enjoyed our accommodations . The Villa was very clean and fully loaded. We spent a lot of time by the pool. Unfortunately we weren’t really able to enjoy the beach or fishing due to the red tide. This was our second time staying at Gulf Gardens.
