Nestled away among the palms, bamboo and jacaranda trees in the Historic District, our Cottages are surprisingly accessible to the attractions awaiting in beautiful Downtown Sarasota, all within easy walking distance. Fine and casual dining options abound; art galleries, boutiques, salons, SELBY botanical gardens, consignment stores and the bay are all just an easy stroll away, as are bike trails and kayaking.

The traditional layout of the Cottages gives our guests an authentic Florida experience in this unique, friendly and laid-back authentic neighborhood. Throughout all of the cottages, there are beautiful examples of local artists' pieces, with wall colors to highlight their work.

The 'Sapphire' Cottage, the quintessential FL bungalow, has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and can sleep six adults. Front entry is by way of a bright enclosed Florida room with a sitting area and a surprisingly comfortable hide a bed if your group exceeds four. You're drawn into the large living room with an original nine foot painting in the tradition of the famed Sarasota School. The designer sofa allows watching the 50" 4K TV very comfy. Sharing the room is the dining area, which easily accommodates six+ people.

The substantial second bedroom with queen bed and convenient bathroom is well situated away from the Master Suite. Beautifully finished pine floors throughout. Central air conditioning and heat, and of course FAST WiFi.

The eat-in kitchen with vaulted ceilings and over-sized farm style sink has all the modern stainless appliances you expect; brand new fridge, gas stove, dishwasher. A custom stained glass window and handcrafted open shelves enhance the bungalow / cottage feeling. There's a pub height counter with three stools and an ice cream style table with chairs. The backdoor leads to your own tropical paradise with a large deck, complete with an outdoor table and chairs for six, perfect for al fresco dining. Alongside the decking, you'll find an outdoor grill stocked with propane.

The gorgeous Master Bedroom Suite includes an enormous king-size bed, a huge lockable closet and blends into the master bath replete with a vintage claw-foot tub and glass block walls which separates the large shower.

Surrounded by lush bamboo trees, the yard sweeps you into your own mini jungle, with outdoor shower, includes fruit trees, creating privacy and separation from the City's buzz, yet you're only a few minutes' walk to Main Street. Our latest addition is a very spacious screened in gazebo with another large table and chairs, perfect for entertaining.

The 'Sapphire' Cottage was originally built in 1926 and thoughtfully updated in 2000 and makes a wonderful base to host friends and family during your vacation getaway. Several magazine pictorials have been published about its character and appeal. The Cottage is very open and light filled.

A rare opportunity awaits the discerning snowbird, who desires to be downtown, all the while enjoying peace within Sarasota.

Please inquire with your preferred dates and we'll do our best to accommodate your group. Due to the City of Sarasota Zoning Code, we are NOT able to rent to more than four (4) unrelated persons.

We take NO-SMOKING very seriously. Smoking in the Cottages or anywhere on the premises will result in loss of damage deposit. If you or any of your group smoke or vape and can not abide by our policy, please find another place to stay.

Thank you.
