Great location and dog friendly
We just loved Little Blue! It didn’t take long for it to feel like our home away from home. Allison was so responsive and thoughtful in our communications, providing great suggestions. The location was perfect for a quick trip to Lido Beach, St Armand’s Circle and wonderful downtown restaurants. It’s a perfect home if you are traveling with your dogs. There was a great waterfront park a block away to walk them and catch the sunset. The house and yard was very clean and comfortable with everything you could possibly need. We highly recommend Little Blue for your next trip to Sarasota!

Super cute clean and comfortable!!
My husband and I both loved little blue! It was located close to several fantastic restaurants that were within walking distance with outdoor seating and music which we loved! There also is a park to walk the dogs just a couple blocks away that we really enjoyed. The completely fenced in yard makes it perfect for pets. This place is very clean and has everything you need. We highly recommend!

Coming home
I come to Sarasota to enjoy the warm weather and live theatre. I like access to the beaches but do not want to be part of the crowds. This cottage was perfect for me. Thanks Darien for your quick response to minor issues. Love the neighborhood and it feels like home. Hope to be back again.

It was the perfect vacation home!!
It wasn't far from stores but at the same time not right in the middle of everything. I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again!!

About the host

Hosted by Allison

Host profile image
Hi - we're Matt and Allison! Originally from Boston, we moved to northern Colorado in 2013 and purchased Little Blue in 2018 as a second home. We have two dogs that we love dearly, Leo and Sui.

Our perfect day in Sarasota starts by walking the dogs along the bay front in Whitaker Park (just across the street!) and then getting out on water. Followed up by an early dinner or happy hour so we can get home to enjoy time with the dogs in our beautiful backyard.

Why they chose this property

We think the location of the home is perfect for those that don't need to be directly on the water. We are close to everything but far enough removed that makes coming and going easy.

What makes this property unique

Little Blue is the perfect spot for those that love indoor/outdoor living. We prefer to spend most of our time outside so we made a huge investment in our backyard by expanding the usable space of the property and covering much of it with pet grade astroturf. We have no doubt that those traveling with their kids or their dogs will love Little Blue!
