About this property

Heated Pool Home in the Pinecraft area Close to Downtown and Beaches.

Built in 1925, Our Casaita Verde 2 Bedroom, 1 Bath home still retains its vintage charm but with modern touches. Conveniently located near Downtown Sarasota on Bahia Vista with easy drive to Lido Key, our World Famous Siesta Key or I-75 for longer adventures.

The Kitchen is open with Granite Counters and everything is included to make your stay comfortable. Even a Krups Coffee Maker for your morning Cup O’ Joe.

Enjoy watching the 55 inch flat screen TV with HD cable and stay in touch with the world with WI-FI internet. Lounge by the private pool or take in the beautiful evenings on the deck with your favorite beverage. Pet Friendly! Up to 2 medium sized dogs. We hope you will make our Casita Verde a permanent part of your Sarasota vacation.

***During colder weather we set our pools to 85 degrees from 8am to 8pm. It will take a few hours for the pool to heat up. We can't make it any hotter because the heater simply can't reach it due to the outside being so cold.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Great location! Great house!

What a fun place to stay! So many extras supplied from spices, coffee, to beach towels. The pool was great after a day at the beautiful beach and the beds were soft and comfy. The house sits on a fairly busy road but you’d never know from how the backyard is organized so privately. Will absolutely go again!

Beautiful property exactly as pictured!

We Have stayed in a lot of different houses and this one was definitely in the top five. Being close to downtown Sarasota and the beaches yet at the same time, having your own private area fenced in with the pool was just perfect! Extremely clean and well taken care of. It was like being at home.

Great Stay!

The house is great with a nice small private pool that is great for your use. Nearby is an Amish community and fresh market that is a great stop. Beaches are a short drive away, 15min to Lido or Siesta Key where you can enjoy the beach and return home to the private pool. Ultra helpful and friendly owner, knows Sarasota.

Great vacation home for Sarasota travel

We traveled in Nov 2024 with our older son and our dog for the first time. This property was perfect. We came down for the Ringling Museum, the beach, Big Top Brewing and a trip, under an hour to Peace River Airboats. The house was well stocked with everything we needed. The pool was perfect for warm days and the rooms were great for sleeping. It is on a main street, we weren't bothered by noise but normally aren't. The driveway as mentioned can be tricky, but I normally just put my flashers on and then backed in. This house is very comfortable, and we had room to spread out. The hosts are great, and we would definitely stay here if we had a chance to be in this area. And last, our dog Scooter loved the adventure, and we took walks on sidewalks in the area.

Centrally Located, but a Very Busy Road

The house is as advertised and the private (small) pool is a definite plus. Larisa was easy to communicate with and replied promptly when we had questions. We really only have two complaints about the property. First, the furniture in the living area is extremely uncomfortable. Watching TV at night was more challenging than relaxing. Second, the street in front of the house is very busy and the driveway from the street on the side of the house is pretty narrow. Patience is required when backing out of the drive because the house is close to the street and you can't see what coming until you're almost in the road. It took me a bit to get used to that.

Fabulous Cottage

Where do I start! From the moment we entered both the yard and the cottage we were swept away from the stresses of life. Although we were only 3 hrs from home, and we had a short 3 days, we were so taken in by this beautiful property. The owner has done an outstanding job restoring this diamond in the rough and has so well equipped the cottage to satisfy all your needs. The cottage is perfectly located to all the beautiful areas surrounding the Gulf, St Armands Cr, Longboat Key, Siesta Key, Cortez and Anna Maria Island. We would definitely recommend this property to our family and friends and we can't wait to go back! Thank you John and Larisa.

Clean little cottage with great owners

The owners of this spotlessly clean cottage were very responsive to texts and calls. The kitchen is stocked with any and everything that you need to feel right at home. This cottage is on a busy road as others have mentioned. It’s close to various beaches (10-20 minutes) and lots of restaurants. We had bad weather so spent a few days inside chilling. My only concern was the couch is uncomfortable needs replaced. They replaced the recliner while we were there because it was broken upon our arrival. The pool was nice and warm since it was chilly outside, I really enjoyed that. Wish list for us would be tv in the bedroom because we are use to it lol.

Perfect - Just as Advertised

We spent a lovely warm month of January here and enjoyed every minute. The house was exactly as we expected. It was clean, very well stocked as the owner allowed previous guests to leave supplies such as spices, coffee, tea, bottles of vinegar, etc. The kitchen was well equipped, although a juicer would have been a nice extra since we did visit a few orange groves. As the previous reviews stated there is considerable road noise, but we knew that and it's only an issue if you use the bedroom at the front of the house, which we did not. Perhaps a fan in that room would help with white noise. The pool was lovely and warm and there was not an additional charge for the heater as we have seen with other owners. Jim allowed us to check in early since we did arrive in Sarasota earlier than planned. Communication with him was easy and fast. We experienced only one hiccup and it was really our fault and it was quickly addressed without any problem. We would highly recommend it.
