47th Street Cottage i Sunny Sarasota

We purchased this home in 2012 because of it's convenient location adjacent to our primary residence. We loved the spacious yet quaint size of the house and that it had recently been renovated and had a vision to share it with others. We made improvements to the house in 2017 and began renting to travelers in January 2018 and have really enjoyed the experience of hosting guests in this beautiful space.

We love living in North Sarasota because everything is so easy to get to. Lido Beach and St. Armand's Circle are also only 15 minutes away from the 47th street cottage. The Sarasota International Airport is a three minute drive. Both Ringling Arts College and New College are a 5 minute drive or 15 minute walk away from the Cottage, along with the Ringling Museum, Asolo Theater, and Sarasota Jungle Gardens. Heading east on University Parkway - you'll find dozens of restaurants and stores. We are 10-15 minutes from the UTC mall and shopping district, and Nathan Benderson Park and Rowing Complex. For a more uniquely Sarasota experience, you'll probably want to head 10 minutes south to our downtown to check out local restaurants, shops, and the theater and performing arts venues. There is an excellent farmer's market downtown on Saturday mornings. From there, we would definitely recommend taking a walk or having a picnic at Sarasota Bayfront Park. There are big sidewalks, a playground for kids, a tiki bar, and all the boat and people watching you could want!
