Gulf Breeze Motel
For families on a budget or travelers who don't plan on spending much time in the room, the Gulf Breeze Motel offers an affordable stay near the beach. Located near a fishing pier, public golf course and a launch slip for boats, what the motel lacks in amenities it makes up with location and a reputation for cleanliness. This family-run motel, established in 1982, offers two-bedroom suites, cable television and allows pets in most rooms.
