A gem of a cottage, close to the airport and the beach. Quiet neighborhood, within walking distance to a park on Sarasota Bay, and the screened-in lanai was perfect for a drink in the afternoon. I would definitely stay here again.

Our casita stay was quiet and comfortable, and the location was fabulous. We could easily walk to the Ringling property (highly recommend) and the bay. The screened in porch was perfect for curling up with a book and decompressing, while also taking in the lush garden surroundings. The hosts were friendly and helpful, and we really couldn’t ask for anything more during our stay! We would definitely stay here again.

Our stay at this cottage was excellent for two people. It is a great location and the cottage was equipped with everything you might. The host was easy to contact by message to answer any questions you might have. We felt very safe at this location. The only thing I might suggest to be added to the cottage would be some coasters so that is a pretty minor issue.

We had a wonderful stay at this Sarasota cottage. The home was spotless, very comfortable, and clearly well cared for. When the microwave stopped working, the owner had it replaced within a day—truly exceptional responsiveness. We felt completely at home and appreciated all the thoughtful touches throughout the space. Highly recommend this property, and we will definitely be staying here again.

Cozy cottage, great location in quiet neighborhood.

We enjoyed our stay. The location is ideal for walking to the bay or driving to the wonderful restaurants in Sarasota! Easy drive to Siesta Key beach. The bed was very comfortable and the place was quiet. Jessica replaced an item that was missing within 15 minutes and when we had to adjust our vacation dates, Jessica was very helpful and accommodating.

Clean home and well provisioned. Within walking distance of bay and some attractions we wanted to see. The grounds were a bit unkempt so first impression was not the best.

Anniversary getaway

The properly was clean and easy to find, For a couple or a small size family, this home is perfect, nice privacy and it's got all the basic needs. The only reason I gave a 4 Star in cleanliness is because we found small pieces of shells on the bed. I would definitely recommend this place.

Quiet, Historic Location

We enjoyed this quiet neighborhood as our home away from home. We entered the cottage through the side yard shared by our hosts and 2 family dogs. It is within walking distance to the Ringling complex with easy access to University Parkway and Tamiami Trail (Highway 41). Our hosts were very responsive and accommodating. We appreciated the king bed, washer and dryer, and screened in porch. We would definitely stay here again.
