About the host

Hosted by Pam

Host profile image
Pam & Gary love to call Florida home. They both enjoy everything that revolves around houses. They love construction, decorating, updating and remodeling. So when the opportunity to purchase this cute Cottage came about they both jumped at the chance as they knew that so many would enjoy staying in such a quaint place.

Why they chose this property

The Tiny Florida Cottage was a dream to Pam & Gary. They knew that travelers from around the world would enjoy staying at the Cottage and experiencing all that the Bradenton/Sarasota had to offer. The Cottage was the perfect size...a little bigger than a hotel room, but so many more advantages than staying in a hotel. They hope you enjoy your stay in what so many have called Paradise.
