About this property

This little blue cottage is eclectically styled and located close to downtown Sarasota, making it easy to plan your visit. Located in an urban area, this little cottage provides easy access to Siesta Key and the many shops that make Sarasota a great city to visit.

The cottage is located in the historically diverse African American neighborhood of Newtown in Sarasota. The cottage itself is located on the end of a quiet street surrounded by neighbors local to the Sarasota area and has a gate around the back and a camera to monitor the front area. Guests are encouraged to reach out with any questions or concerns about the location or navigating the neighborhood.

Located around 2 miles from the Marie Selby Gardens, approximately 9-10 miles to Siesta Key beach, and 4-5 miles from Lido Key Beach and St. Armands Circle. Our Little Blue Cottage is also conveniently located around 2-3 miles from the Sarasota-Bradenton Airport and only 1 mile from the Ringling College of Art and Design.

Enjoy some rest and relaxation in the outdoor space equipped with a fire pit, barbeque grill, and warm lighting. Or, if you are planning R & R at the beach, be sure to check out the beach wagon and sand building kit!

A quick but lovely stay

We stayed at the little blue cottage for just one night but I wish it was longer! It’s so thoughtfully decorated, was warm and cozy and in a great location for us. While the inside is so cute, the backyard was my favorite. I sat outside and enjoyed the birds and beautiful plants they have around their landscape and it was the perfect start to my day before getting on the road. Can’t wait to stay again the next time I’m in town:)

Had all the boxes checked

This was such a cute well renovated house. The host thought of everything when getting this ready for visitors. I would have given it all 5 but the neighborhood was a touch sketchy. We had zero issues other than the noise next door at night and feeling like we couldn’t walk up the street to get exercise. The beds were comfortable and it was central to all the good things in Sarasota
