Palm Beach Resort and Beach
Club |

We wanted a vacation where we could relax and Palm
Beach Resort was it. Very quiet, the view from our balcony was the best!
Loved the foam bed!! But the pillows were very hard. That is out only
negative. Definitely would recommend Palm Beach Resort to our friends
and would come back again. Sandy & Rick 11/12/11 |
Feel at home! Mike and Donna 11/7/11 |

Little Gull Cottages |

"This resort is a wonderful, well-maintained resort. We
couldn't ask for anything more! We will be back next year!" J.L.J. Unit

"A little jewel of a resort! Such a refreshing change from
the commercial condos. Wonderful location - gorgeous beach. The beach
umbrella in the closet is a wonderful touch. Thank you for a memorable
week...would love to come back." R.T. Unit 5 10/8-15/11 |
|
"This is exactly what we came here for. Beautiful weather, beautiful beach
cottage. The ladies (Debbie & Lisa) are great, very helpful in every
aspect. Thanks for the great experience. We will be back."

"The new
kitchen, appliances & bathrooms are wonderful!! As usual, Little Gull is
heaven on earth!"
John &
Audrey Gatgen Unit 15 4/24-5/1/10 |
"This is a
fantastic resort. The "cottages" are spacious & beautifully decorated.
Very comfortable furnishings. I especially like the trees & shade at the
beachfront. You have sun and shade for those who don't want too much sun.
The trees & landscaping turn Little Gull into a tropical paradise. A truly
delightful and relaxing resort with something for everyone and even a HEATED
pool. Fireplaces too, thank goodness it was too warm to use them but they
are such a wonderful & surprising amenity."
Anonymous Unit 15 12/19/09 |
|
"Keep this
resort the way it is - fewer units means not a crowded beach as I
experienced staying at huge condo bldg. Love the pine trees that shade the
beach in the morning & give a shady spot by the resort from the hot sun but
still have a gorgeous view of the water." Ann Hernon Unit 5 8/24/2009 |
"Little Gull
is delightful & our favorite place to come for sun, sea, sand, shells,
recreation & relaxation. Thank you for a wonderful week!" -

maintained. Unit was very clean - only thing we noticed was air return in

great work! This is our favorite place to vacation every year."

have found a better & more relaxing place than Little Gull Cottages. We

morning over the bay set us off for the glorious day and the sunsets on the
Gulf horizon set us off for a quiet relaxing evening. We love our "Little
Gull" family vacations! - Jeni Collet 9/1/07 |

| We'll be back - this was our first visit and even with tropical storm "Alberto" we had a wonderful time. Love the privacy, grounds and landscaping - beautiful cottages - somewhere between a southern plantation and Key West. Peaceful, tranquil. AWESOME! Karen Volkmann - 6/17/06 |
We had a wonderful stay - despite Alberto! The shelling was great and the beach was beautiful. We love your location and amenities and being able to bring our boat. We were impressed with the cleanliness of the shutters and ceiling fans. New TV & DVD player in living room was appreciated as well as the additional TVs and cable being added to the other bedrooms. Keep up the great work! We'll see you next year. - Champmans 6/11/06 |

We loved staying here & would definitely come back. It was
awesome to have a lot of little extras, dock for the boat & trailer parking,
beach chairs, umbrellas, buckets & toys, tennis stuff, bicycles, movies,
coffee filters, towel exchange, etc. Huge units. Would have been so awesome
if they accommodated 8 though, so we could bring our whole family. A great
