Cozy cottage for two

This was our first time experience staying in this type of rental that was not a hotel. This lovely, cozy cottage had so many wonderful amenities and personal touches beyond our expectations! The combination of a beautiful outdoor space, comfortable amenities, and personal touches made a huge difference in our overall stay It was spotlessly clean, nicely decorated and had a very comfortable bed. Our hosts Lynne and Doug were so nice and accommodating and made our stay so enjoyable. The location to downtown was perfect. We will definitely be coming back!

Perfect Sarasota Getaway

This place was absolutely perfect for a two person getaway. It was a quick 5 minute drive from the airport and about 10 minutes from St. Armand’s Circle and beautiful beaches. The hosts were incredibly accommodating, and made for a very welcoming stay. The place was beautiful!

Cozy cottage, great hosts

Really nice cottage. It is clean and comfortable with nice decorations and a private garden. The location is very convenient to places in Sarasota. Lynne and Doug are great hosts. From the things they prepared and arranged in the cottage and around, you can tell that they are very considerate of their guests. Communication with them was very easy. We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend their cottage to anyone!

Enjoyable Stay in Charming Cottage

The on-site hosts were very welcoming & helpful during our 10 day stay in their cottage which looked like the photos in the listing. Great location in a quiet neighborhood close to the beaches, parks, restauants, shopping, popular sightseeing attractions, etc. Appreciated access to washer & dryer, as well as beach chairs, beach towels, cooler, etc. Will stay here again.
