About this property

Less than 3 Miles to Siesta Key Beach! NO pet fee!

Our sweet serene older cottage home is located in a quiet old Florida neighborhood and is across from a small neighborhood park with a small lake. It is walking distance to many shops and places to eat. There is only one road you need to take to the beach! Our property has wood floors, a fireplace, fenced in yard, screened in patio, loft and deck that overlooks a neighborhood park. If you are looking for some rest and relaxation along with great bird watching this is it! Best of all if you have a furry family member they can be with you too! I am a special needs teacher in Sarasota so if you need anything or help deciding where to go, I can help! You will absolutely enjoy Sarasota and the weather is spectacular!

Great Location and Bird Watching

We had a great stay at this property. There were plenty of dishes and towels. The beds were comfortable. We loved sitting on the front porch watching the birds. It's a quick drive over to Crescent Beach. Lots of shops and restaurants nearby. Carrie was very responsive to messages I sent.

Wonderful Host!

Carrie was so helpful throughout our stay. She was in constant communication whenever I would message her. We had 4 animals with us and truly appreciated being able to bring them with us. Backyard is fenced in so we didn't have to worry about the dogs. The house is cute and homey, very pet friendly with all the little signs hanging around. It is in a great location, especially if you're staying on vacation!

We had a good time staying at Gabriel's cottage

The house and fenced in back yard were all nice and what was ex0ected. The interior is rather dark/dim but not sure what can be done about that. The house was a bit dusty when we arrived bit not that big of a deal. Overall we had a very nice time. The bed in the bigger room is very comfortable and we appreciated all the ammenties in the house.

Sarasota Fl.

Had the owner told us in the ad that they had bugs we would NOT have stayed there. I feel we deserve a 50% refund as the owner was less than honest in our accommodations. The owner left a message for us on the refrigerator that said because this was in South Florida and that it was 'bug season' we could expect this. That is not right because we stayed in another home in January and had no bugs. Sincerely, KE and ME

Cozy little place

The property was clean and ready when we arrived. The layout of the house was a little strange as the master bedroom had a loft, like it was set up for kids. But if you are staying with children I'm sure they would love it! The property owner had everything labeled so there was no confusion. We found it very helpful and had a great stay.

The place was great and the pups loved running around the yard. The pictures don’t really do it justice because in person it is bigger then we anticipated. It was super close to everything and close to the beach. The bed was very comfortable and they left great recommendations on were to eat.

A Happy Anniversary trip..

Very happy with this booking, lovely cottage, all rooms nicely decorated; well maintained, very clean and stocked with everything you needed to feel like a home away from home. Nice fenced in back yard for our pup to roam and play. Close to many attractions to visit and lots of restaurants if you wanted to dine out. Also close to beaches. Our host, Carrie, left lots of helpful suggestions on places to visit, also Carrie was always available to answer any questions or if you needed to contact her. We plan to return later this year, catch up on some places we did not get to see. Highly recommend this property.

Sarasota Cottage

This cottage was ideal for our family. We were coming into Sarasota for a family party. We were close to everything! The beach and our family! We had to come on late and the owners were so nice to have some lights on for us. The home is across from a pond. There is a loft in the main bedroom which my kids climbed onto to check out birds by the pond. The bathroom is a bit small, the eating areas were open, the back yard was fenced and a nice size. We were not at the cottage for much time due to our plans so we didn’t take advantage of the yard. This was just right for the price and location.

My husband Brian and I are originally from New Jersey. We have been in Sarasota for over 30 years and absolutely love the warm weather and the beauty of Florida . We have 3 beautiful boys, 4 dogs, and 3 cats! We have been truly blessed in our lives and wish to share our home so you can see what life should be!!! Sarasota is a hidden gem and like us I am sure you’ll want to stay in paradise!

Why they chose this property

Less than 3 miles to the beach. Our home is the one road to Siesta Key! The cottage is close to everything. You can walk to many restaurants and shops. I love the fact that not only do you hear the sound of beautiful birds in the morning, but plenitude of sunshine is exactly what the soul needs!

What makes this property unique

Nature view, walking distance to restaurants and shopping, deck overlooking a neighborhood lake, loft, fireplace, wood floors, and a screened in back porch with outside backyard deck. Our home is pet friendly and the backyard is fenced in for privacy. Best of all pets are FREE! This is a cute smaller home that is close to everything.
