About this property

Less than 3 Miles to Siesta Key Beach! NO pet fee!

Our sweet serene older cottage home is located in a quiet old Florida neighborhood and is across from a small neighborhood park with a small lake. It is walking distance to many shops and places to eat. There is only one road you need to take to the beach! Our property has wood floors, a fireplace, fenced in yard, screened in patio, loft and deck that overlooks a neighborhood park. If you are looking for some rest and relaxation along with great bird watching this is it! Best of all if you have a furry family member they can be with you too! I am a special needs teacher in Sarasota so if you need anything or help deciding where to go, I can help! You will absolutely enjoy Sarasota and the weather is spectacular!

Great Location and Bird Watching

We had a great stay at this property. There were plenty of dishes and towels. The beds were comfortable. We loved sitting on the front porch watching the birds. It's a quick drive over to Crescent Beach. Lots of shops and restaurants nearby. Carrie was very responsive to messages I sent.

The property was very welcoming to our dog. It had a fenced in backyard with the screen didn’t porch. So she could come and go as she wanted when we were home. The biggest drawback was the bed. One side was up against the wall, so you could only get out of bed one way or crawl down to the bottom of the bed. It was definitely an inconvenience. The location was close to many things. It was very accessible to Siesta Beach. If the traffic wasn’t bad. Overall, I don’t think I would stay there again mainly because of the bed position.
Beautiful sunsets from the beach. About 3 miles from the house

Wonderful Host!

Carrie was so helpful throughout our stay. She was in constant communication whenever I would message her. We had 4 animals with us and truly appreciated being able to bring them with us. Backyard is fenced in so we didn't have to worry about the dogs. The house is cute and homey, very pet friendly with all the little signs hanging around. It is in a great location, especially if you're staying on vacation!

Our stay was nice. The a/c needs to be able to accommodate colder temps. Also could use a floor fan . But worth the stay. Thanks

A/C was ice cold when I went in after you left :) I think being on a boat for a few days out in the hot sun raises your body temperature. The house did accommodate your very large boat and few pets for a 10 dollar pet fee for the entire stay. Hope that in itself was worth it. I don’t have a floor fan due to fire regulations. Lots of ceiling fans though! Thank you for your input.

We had a good time staying at Gabriel's cottage

The house and fenced in back yard were all nice and what was ex0ected. The interior is rather dark/dim but not sure what can be done about that. The house was a bit dusty when we arrived bit not that big of a deal. Overall we had a very nice time. The bed in the bigger room is very comfortable and we appreciated all the ammenties in the house.

Carol, I am so glad you guys had an awesome time in Sarasota despite all those overcast and rainy days you had during your stay! Florida does seem dim when we get days like that and add the dark cherry wood floors at the cottage and one gets ready for a nap quickly! The cleaning lady came the day after Christmas so I am sorry she missed a few dust areas in the outside porch area as rained heavily that day! The good news is that you got to spend precious time with your 2 dogs and loved one! Life is about moments and I am so happy you were able to enjoy the beauty that surrounds us each and everyday with people and pets you love! Many beautiful blessings sent your way! Carrie

Sarasota Fl.

Had the owner told us in the ad that they had bugs we would NOT have stayed there. I feel we deserve a 50% refund as the owner was less than honest in our accommodations. The owner left a message for us on the refrigerator that said because this was in South Florida and that it was 'bug season' we could expect this. That is not right because we stayed in another home in January and had no bugs. Sincerely, KE and ME

We have a monthly pet control. I could have called them right away! I asked you how things were going many times and you said no problems. You stayed the entire time with complaints. Hubby even came over and took your garbage out and helped you with Roku. The note referred to red bug slough park around the corner. There was no reason for this review except for money. People are so mean now lately and it’s really sad :(

Cozy little place

The property was clean and ready when we arrived. The layout of the house was a little strange as the master bedroom had a loft, like it was set up for kids. But if you are staying with children I'm sure they would love it! The property owner had everything labeled so there was no confusion. We found it very helpful and had a great stay.

Host profile image
My husband Brian and I are originally from New Jersey. We have been in Sarasota for over 30 years and absolutely love the warm weather and the beauty of Florida . We have 3 beautiful boys, 4 dogs, and 3 cats! We have been truly blessed in our lives and wish to share our home so you can see what life should be!!! Sarasota is a hidden gem and like us I am sure you’ll want to stay in paradise!

Why they chose this property

Less than 3 miles to the beach. Our home is the one road to Siesta Key! The cottage is close to everything. You can walk to many restaurants and shops. I love the fact that not only do you hear the sound of beautiful birds in the morning, but plenitude of sunshine is exactly what the soul needs!

What makes this property unique

Nature view, walking distance to restaurants and shopping, deck overlooking a neighborhood lake, loft, fireplace, wood floors, and a screened in back porch with outside backyard deck. Our home is pet friendly and the backyard is fenced in for privacy. Best of all pets are FREE! This is a cute smaller home that is close to everything.
