About this property
Vintage Downtown Escape, Heated Cocktail Pool, Tiki Bar & Walk to City of Sarasota
🌴 City Cottage - Cocktail Pool + Walk to Downtown
💖 Why You'll Love This Home
Step back in time—without sacrificing comfort. City Cottage blends 1920s charm with upscale, modern updates, including a heated cocktail pool, clawfoot soaking tub, and tiki bar, all nestled in a walkable downtown Sarasota location.
👨👩👧 Perfect For
Couples, small families, or friend groups looking for a stylish, walk-to-everything Sarasota escape with vintage flair.
🎞️ Imagine This
You arrive at City Cottage and step through the front door into a storybook bungalow—9-foot ceilings, crown molding, and soft natural light pouring in through oversized windows. Drop your bags, kick off your shoes, and feel the easy rhythm of Old Florida take over. Morning starts with coffee on the front porch, birdsong in the background. Afternoons unfold with dips in the heated cocktail pool, sun-soaked lounging, or a mid-day refresh under the Al Fresco shower. As evening falls, mix a drink at your private tiki bar before heading downtown for a sunset dinner. End your day soaking in the clawfoot tub, wrapped in nostalgia and peace.
