Loved our spacious cottage with the patio. Our favorite part of our stay was the breakfast brought to us each morning. Dwight took care of us and he doted on our dog. Highly recommend! Very convenient to Duval Street. Easy walking to restaurants, shops and bars.

We absolutely love Ella’s Cottages. Micheal at the front desk was very helpful before we arrived with great directions and convenient parking arrangements. That made our check in a simple breeze. The accommodations were beautiful. The bathroom was wonderful as was the spacious bedroom, comfortable bed and the relaxing living room. The breakfast area was terrific and full of health options and exactly what we had hoped for. Late afternoon tea was a joy including the scrumptious biscotti! Dwight and cottage staff were cordial and friendly and we will be back next year and even hope to visit again mid season for a weekend. Thank you!
