RECENT REVIEWS

What a fantastic home. New, beautifully decorated and very well stocked. It had every comfort you could ask for and was a wonderful place to come home to after soaking in the sun.
We could not ask for anything more. It also had a beautiful view of the ocean, steps away from the beach. kayaks and paddle boards to top it off. It was truly paradise and a wonderful addition to the island. I would not hesitate to stay here again. - Deborah P.

Correct, it's not on the beach. But it's a brand-new build, and many told us that this was one of the nicest houses on the island. I was more than happy to sacrifice not being directly on the beach in exchange for a brand-new house that is much nicer than my own home. The walk couldn't be easier - it's just about 50 yards to the beach. And it was fun being on the "main road" in town and watching the golf carts go by from my screened porch. The owners actually provided a decent number of supplies. I just can't get over how clean and clutter free this house is. It's so perfect. The other great highlight of this property is that the owner provided free paddle boards and kayaks. That was a huge plus because I did not have to worry about renting them. I could then go out and paddle board on the calm ocean all day. Count me in for Cuttlefish next summer. - Bobby H.

This was the second time we stayed at Cuttlefish Cottage. The home is beautiful, clean, and very well taken care of. The owners have everything you may want or need on property. My family and I love Little Gasparilla and the people are always so kind and friendly. - Susan S.

We have rented this home two years in a row and already booked our dates for next year! There are fabulous water views from almost every room even though it is technically inland. The beach access is just across the sand pathway. Cuttlefish is clean, comfortable, and has a well stocked kitchen. One renter in our group described it as staying in a penthouse on the beach! - Josh M.
