The Space:
Chrissy’s Cottage 1 is a charming, mermaid-inspired 1-bedroom, 1-bath retreat that comfortably sleeps up to 4 guests. Recently, we made a few updates to the cottage to comply with new regulations—which included the removal of the full kitchen and washer/dryer. To help you plan accordingly, we’ve added updated photos so you can see the current layout, including the revised kitchen area (which no longer includes a refrigerator, oven, or laundry appliances).There is still private entrances, perfect for the couple you’re traveling with who enjoy having their own space or the in-laws who came along and need some private space for themselves. Ideal for 2 people but can easily accommodate 4, there is a queen bed in the bedroom and a queen sleeper sofa in the living area.
Chrissy’s Cottage 2 is relaxing 3-bedroom, 2 bath, home which sleeps 6. This cottage is equipped with a full kitchen, high capacity washer/dryer and decorated with a coastal theme. The master bedroom has a king mattress and the other two bedrooms have queens. We also supply a queen air mattress which can be set up in the living room . There are two full bathrooms, one has a standard tub/shower combo while the second bathroom has a shower only (not tub) and is conveniently located with quick access to the pool/patio.
This listing is to rent both cottages together. The price shown is the total price for both cottages.
All of the bedrooms are equipped with comfortable mattresses, Samsung smart TV’s with cable, a luggage rack, a dresser and a closet for you to unpack and feel at home. In each cottage you will find beach towels and a cooler for your use along with beach chairs, umbrellas and other beach accessories.
Let's talk about the pool. It's large, it's deep it's heated and its fun! Located right outside your back door (literally) is the pool patio which is surrounded by tropical landscaping with palm trees and agave plants. There are two outdoor patio tables to accommodate all of your friends and family along with super comfy chaise lounge chairs for you to enjoy.
Spend your days soaking up the sun at Siesta Key Beach & your night’s poolside overlooking the lush, private backyard. The evening is a perfect time for grabbing a glass of wine and heading out to the patio to star gaze at the thousands of stars. If you fancy eating outside, there is a Webber grill for you to cook up some of the fish you caught on that fishing charter you went on earlier in the day.
The coastal decor of this home creates a bright airy ambiance that will allow you to relax as soon as you walk through the door. You are finally on vacation!

Ashley - thank you so much for staying at our property and being so kind in your review. Come back and stay with us again soon!
Everything was perfect from check-in to check-out. The home is ideal for extended families, offering plenty of space for everyone to be comfortable. We stayed during Thanksgiving week, and it was amazing.The heated pool and immaculate grounds made for a relaxing and fun trip. The location is fantastic—just 5 minutes to Publix and 14 minutes to Siesta Key Village.I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend this property!
This place was so great, and Chrissy was extremely kind and helpful. The house is well appointed, the pool is relaxing, the location was easy for us to get to, and our entire family had a great time. We were grateful for this family trip! Only good things to say!

Thank you so much for the review, and for being perfect guests. Come back for a visit soon!
it's all about the pool ... our youngsters (2 and 4) could hardly stay out of it ...the set-up worked well for us -- two great uncles, grandmother, mother, father and the children ...john and chrisy were very responsive to any questions
Overall this was a really great place. The first morning, we were woke up by jackhammering outside in which I let the owners know. Unbeknownst to them, this was unplanned construction. The smaller cottage didn't have much in terms of supplies, but we rented both sides which made it okay. We loved the pool, my kids lived in it when we were not at the beach. Great location to the beach, entertainment and dining.

Thank you! 😊 We're so glad you enjoyed the home, pool, and great location! We appreciate your understanding about the unexpected construction and your feedback on the cottage. It was a pleasure hosting you—hope to welcome you back! 🏖️🏡💦
Clean, comfortable, inviting. Loved the pool! Just wish we were in walking distance to a nice breakfast & dinner place, but it was a short drive. Booked this location because it was close to the wedding venue we were in town for. Would definitely stay again
We had 11 people and a dog staying for 5 days. There was plenty of room for everyone especially with the addition of the In-law suite with full kitchen. The place was very clean, pool was amazing and the location was perfect. Quick drive to sarasota, long boat key and siesta key. Plenty of beach amenities to use. Definitely would stay here again.

Thank you for the sweet review! Delighted to hear everyone, including the dog, had plenty of room and enjoyed the clean space, amazing pool, and perfect location. Can't wait to welcome you all back for another great stay!
Property and Manager were great. Right in the heart of Sarasota. Less than 10 miles to many golf courses and hundreds of restaurants. Perfect for a long weekend with 4 bedrooms and 3 baths! Definitely recommend!
Very clean! Plenty of room for the eight of us. So well decorated and neat! The pool was outstanding! Enjoyed this house very much and will stay here again!

I was in town with some friends for an event and this two cottage set up was perfect for a group. We all got to hang together but there was a separation when we wanted. The house was clean and had everything we needed. John and Christina the hosts were super responsive and helpful. I would definitely book here again.
We stayed here for Thanksgiving week 2023 and had a wonderful time. The property is perfect, with a large yard and beautiful pool in the back. Chrissy the host was very helpful and answered our questions quickly. We will definitely be back!
