We loved our stay at the cottage. It was sparkling clean and very cute inside. It was very well-equiped and fully stocked with kitchen supplies, bedding, books, games, and beach items. Our favorite part was the beautiful backyard; we loved spending time hanging out there. It is in a very central location and close to great restaurants and shopping in downtown Sarasota. We would definitely book again when back in the area!

This place is a gem!

My husband and our daughter stayed at this place for a week, and it was absolutely marvelous. Geoff is very responsive, attentive to detail, and the house is very clean and delightful on the inside. On the outside, in the back yard adjoining the bayou, there is a wonderful gazebo with trailing bougainvillea. There is a fire pit in the middle of the gazebo that we sat around and sipped wine and talked for hours. It’s also very close to the airport! I can’t say enough positive about this place! We loved it!
