Cottage, 3 Bedrooms (Gulf 1105)

This cottage is set up for Gulf views, which you can enjoy from the private balcony or patio. It is a pleasant spot for morning coffee from the in-room coffee/tea maker or for winding down after a beach day.

The cottage sleeps up to six guests with 1 king bed, 1 queen bed and 2 twin beds. That suits two couples with children, or a group of friends or extended family who want some privacy.

There are two private bathrooms, so a full party isn't queuing for one. Each is stocked with towels, free toiletries, shampoo, toilet paper and a hair dryer, and there is a shower.

Yes. The cottage has a full kitchen with a full-sized refrigerator/freezer, oven, stovetop, microwave, dishwasher, cookware, dishware, utensils and paper towels, plus a dining area.

If you'd rather not cook, the resort's restaurants such as Redfish Grill and Beach House are reserved for resort guests and owners.

A mandatory resort fee of $40 plus 11.5% tax per guest per day applies, and children 12 and under are complimentary.

It is added on top of the room rate and collected at check-in or check-out.
