Short but Very Pleasant

We stayed only night as a stop to meet up with the rest of our family for vacation. The host was friendly and very responsive with texts to inform us throughout the stay. The amenities were nice and the cottage was very nice.

Cozy cottage, great location in quiet neighborhood.

We enjoyed our stay. The location is ideal for walking to the bay or driving to the wonderful restaurants in Sarasota! Easy drive to Siesta Key beach. The bed was very comfortable and the place was quiet. Jessica replaced an item that was missing within 15 minutes and when we had to adjust our vacation dates, Jessica was very helpful and accommodating.

Anniversary getaway

The properly was clean and easy to find, For a couple or a small size family, this home is perfect, nice privacy and it's got all the basic needs. The only reason I gave a 4 Star in cleanliness is because we found small pieces of shells on the bed. I would definitely recommend this place.

Great location in a quiet neighbor

This cottage was located in a old beautiful quiet neighborhood. We spend one afternoon walking around the area checking out the old homes and the new construction along the water. Location 3 blocks from Ringling Museums. The bed and AC were good. We did not cook, made nachos once, however the kitchen items were limited and old.. Did make coffee each morning Very slow internet and it kept going off. No regular TV. They could use a nightlight in the bathroom, luckily I travel with one.

Quiet, Historic Location

We enjoyed this quiet neighborhood as our home away from home. We entered the cottage through the side yard shared by our hosts and 2 family dogs. It is within walking distance to the Ringling complex with easy access to University Parkway and Tamiami Trail (Highway 41). Our hosts were very responsive and accommodating. We appreciated the king bed, washer and dryer, and screened in porch. We would definitely stay here again.

Peaceful respite

I had a very peaceful and quiet respite at the property. A nice park with benches is just a short walk to the West with a view of the bay. I was worried with the Airport so close that I might hear planes all night, but I didn't hear any during my time there.
