Perfect spring break stay from NE Ohio!

We loved our stay at Beekeeper’s Cottage for our spring break from Ohio. The cottage was immaculate and provided everything we needed for a relaxing stay. We enjoyed watching the surrounding wildlife and the big open view of the pond. The owners next door were incredibly friendly and helpful with restaurant and sightseeing recommendations!

Peaceful & relaxing

We rented the cottage for family that were in for a graduation celebration. The location was perfect and the accommodations are exactly as pictured. The guests found the cottage to be charming and very peaceful. We would rent again.

My wife and I enjoyed our three night stay in this nicely appointed cottage. It met our requirements as a base to visit friends and explore the area for ideas for future, longer term winter stays in this area. The well cared for cottage was very accurately described in both the verbal and pictorial description presented in VRBO. It was very clean which is a priority for my wife and I.Check in was a breeze and we had no need to contact the manager during our stay but she did respond quickly to my initial my messages. We needed a three day home base as part of a longer 2 week stay across Florida and this met our needs perfectly.

Perfect winter getaway

Spent four wonderful nights in this immaculate cottage accurately depicted in photos. Stay was enhanced by well-equipped modern kitchen, sophisticated decor and luxury baths. Especially enjoyed viewing abundant wildlife from patio and screened porch and meeting Mitch, the shi tzu who lives next door with the friendly and genial owner. Check in and out was seamless and property manager was very responsive and helpful with restaurant and birding suggestions. Look forward to returning.

Amazing!!

Such a well-curated cottage. Loved everything about it- decor, organization, cleanliness- just wonderful.I’d probably be hesitant to stay if I had little ones because Bee Ridge is a 4 lane street. Though the street is noisy with cars that house was whisper quiet!My husband and 2 teenagers stayed here for a wedding weekend and I’d love to return!

A Perfect Stay

I’m not even sure how to begin to describe this wonderful place. This is an exceptional rental. It was perfect for our trip visiting family in Florida. The cottage was so thoughtfully designed; we constantly said to each other: “They really thought of everything.” It has a brand-new feeling, seemed professionally decorated and furnished, and was a comfortable, luxurious, fun place to stay. We especially loved the screened porch (with table and chairs), overlooking a pond, but we made full use of a nicely stocked kitchen, washer and dryer, beautiful bathrooms and linens, TVs, and more. SO much better than a hotel! We’ll definitely stay here again when in Sarasota.
