My family spent the last part of May and the first half of June at the Gull House. As other reviews have noted, it is a special place. The house is part of a triplex. We saw the owners of the middle unit on a few occasions and they were very kind.
The house has direct access to the beach. On almost everyday, we had the entire beach to ourselves. I fished just in front of the house and caught Pompeno and other fish. I missed several snook. If you want to fish, surf, or just play in the ocean, this is the perfect place. The water is warm and clean. Expect to see manatees, dolphins, and lots and lots of giant turtles. Coming up from the beach, there is a outdoor shower to wash the sand off. We also enjoyed the grill and deck.
The top floor of the house is incredible. The kitchen has everything and it is clean. The entire top floor looks out over the ocean and even has a large outdoor balcony. How can you beat that?
Another thing that makes the property special is that it is set a good distance from the road and has a detached garage. Plus, it is set in a extremely affluent area (think multi-million dollar homes). The entire setting is very quite and private.
As other reviews have noted, there are nice restaurants nearby. My wife and I would often use the bikes and pedal down to the Long Point restaurant for breakfast that is less than a mile away (good and affordable).
Finally, I know from my own experience renting summer homes that it can be a little bit hit and miss. There is a reason this home home has perfect reviews, it is definitely a place we want to come back to, which is really the highest praise I can give. Eric, the property owner, bent over backwards to accommodate us. He can be trusted, thank you Eric! We made great family memories.
