A ljttle tricky to find and the driveway was a little tight to navigate, but the host explained that in the check-in instructions. Overall, a nice, clean and private space. The cottage was adorable and the layout had everything we needed. The value was great compared to a hotel stay. Convient location. My one complaint would be the mattress was a little too firm for my husband and I.

Wonderful little cottage off the beaten path. Quiet and cute, has everything you need for a stay in Sarasota. Communication with host Nigel was excellent. When we checked in there was no hair drier but he quickly remedied that situation. We enjoyed our stay greatly. The only problem we had with the property was that it was a little tricky to exit the property as it was a little tight to turn the car around in order to drive forward onto the main road. It’s a minor inconvenience otherwise this is a 5 Star property.

It's a tough Place for senior citizen to stay. The bed is very low. The step up to the bathroom is fairly steep.

Yhe cottage is clean, filled with everything you may need, including great books and games, and it's very private. The outside deck was nice with morning coffee and everything is a short car or Uber ride away.

Perfect home base at the end of a long beach day, being gated felt like we were in our own little bubble. Nigel has super helpful with quick resolution when I had trouble with the key. All in all, good stay.

Secluded stay in Sarasota

Secluded, well-stocked, comfortable and convenient to Ed Smith Stadium. Beaches and St. Armands were 30-40 minutes away. The bathroom was a step up from the bedroom, so this house is not appropriate for anyone handicapped.

Lovely cottage

This cottage was perfect for us, well appointed, clean and comfortable. Very private and a lovely outdoor seating area. The gardens out side were beautiful with lots of tropical plants and flowers. The owners were very receptive and the location was great, and only a few minutes to most of the local attractions. Highly recommend.
