Nutmeg Cottage

3-Bedroom, 1.5 Bath

King bed, two twins, and a QUEEN, Sleeps 6

Nutmeg Cottage is a charming Key-West style cottage that sits at the edge of the dune with dramatic Gulf views. This 3 bedroom 1.5 bath home offers a unique spot from which to enjoy Little Gasparilla Island. The large covered porch, both upstairs and downstairs, offers balmy tropical breezes and a comfortable spot from which to watch the dolphins and shorebirds on the beach. Downstairs, a comfortable hammock offers the perfect spot to relax in the fresh air. Nutmeg Cottage is an older home, with the quirky charm of the cottages of Key West….large porches offer spectacular views upstairs and al fresco outdoor dining downstairs.

A large newly remodeled open kitchen/living and dining area has plenty of room for everyone in the family to gather. There are two bedrooms and a full bath downstairs. One bedroom features a queen bed and the other has two twins.(daybed with a trundle.) Upstairs, accessible by a steep outdoor staircase, the master has a king bed, a half bath with toilet and sink and doors opening to the private porch (This room is not recommended for the mobility impaired.). The master suite is an oasis of privacy and has the best views in the house! Stairs should be navigated with caution, however.

There is a large yard and the home is pet friendly, so Nutmeg Cottage is the perfect spot for your pet to enjoy your beach vacation as well! There is a separate laundry room outdoors where the washer, dryer and beach equipment are stored. Please note this laundry room is shared with guests in Bunkini, the small cottage next door that can be rented separately.

Nutmeg does NOT include use of the back patio and outdoor shower. That is reserved for guests of the small studio. However, if both cottages are rented together, you can easily open the doorway between them and share the outdoor space.

Nutmeg Cottage also features a guest cottage directly next door. This small cottage, named Bunkini, is available to rent separately or in conjunction with Nutmeg....so if you have a larger group, or a couple who wants even more privacy, the separate cottage can also be rented. If you are interested in both cottages, ask about special pricing for both. (The two cottages do share the outside laundry facility.)

This cute cottage has a brand new kitchen, a nice outdoor shower, and 2 great porches! It’s super close to the beach with great views from upper balcony! The upstairs room has a nice private entrance with separate 1/2 bath so it’s nice for couples vacationing together or families with older kids. I stayed with family (a group of five) and we were all comfortable! - Sarah F.

My family and I had a great Fourth of July week at Nutmeg Cottage! We loved how close it was to the beach. It was actually closer than some of the beachfront homes. We could hear and see the ocean and sunset from the second story balcony. We could even view the fireworks over the beach, which was really special. In the mornings, we enjoyed the sunrise too! Nutmeg is such a perfect location!! Not only that, but the kitchen was beautiful and brand new! There was plenty of living space and I really liked the private entrance to the third bedroom! The house was stocked with lots of fun beach gear and towels. We had an amazing time swimming, shelling, and relaxing. This was a great home! - Stephanie B.

This place was perfect for me and my family. We had a wonderful, restful, week. Everyone from the marina to all the people on the island were very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back.- Sharon G.
