Charming Private Garden Cottage hide away in the heart of Sarasota

have your own tropical garden hide away in the heart of Sarasota. quiet and newly-remodeled. Everything is new and well appointed and fully-fitted out for those that like to cook. A lovely garden wraps you in tranquility on the dinning patio. Lots of privacy.

Fantastic location, in The Arts District, minutes from the airport. Just minutes to St. Armands Circles wonderful shopping and restaurants, beaches and downtown, offering great entertainment and restaurant options, several performing theaters, a comedy club, movie theaters. A bay front park is 1 block away, public tennis courts are 4 blocks away. Convenient!

Property is within a 5 minute radious of all Sarasota's cultural amenities, such as The Ringling Museum of Art (world-class art and grounds), The Historic Asolo Theater, and asThe Van Wezel (well-known entertainers frequently performing, downtown area with lots of restaurants, shopping a comedy club live theaters and Shelby Gardens just to list a few.
We are continuing to update the cottage every year. There is a very comfortable deck off the French doors with out door table and chairs for outdoor dinning We installed a high end air conditioning system which is insanely quite and very efficient. and of course new bedding which we do every year.

Lovely garden cottage

The cottage was perfect for our 3 night stay in Sarasota. Right outside the cottage is a beautiful and relaxing garden perfect for enjoying the sounds of nature and enjoying the Sarasota weather. The host personally greeted us when we arrived and even offered to help us with our luggage.

A little bit of New England in mid-Florida

Beautifully designed and maintained,, including fresh flowers and greenery awaiting our visit. We didn't take to the searing sunshine and scalding weather, but found the cottage our welcome refuge. Its proximity to a Publix market nearly just around the corner proved a godsend.

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!

Lovely Cottage in Convenient Location

We stayed two weeks in this lovely cottage and had a great time. The cottage is very comfortable and has numerous amenities to make the stay pleasant and easy. The owners provided plenty of beach gear, lots of fluffy towels and nice soaps, access to a washer and dryer and a fully equipped and outfitted kitchen for preparing meals at home. We also spent a lot of time sitting outside at the table or sunning on the lounge chairs. The garden is very private and surrounded by orchids and other beautiful plants. Lynne and Doug are welcoming and friendly, yet give you plenty of privacy. The location is convenient to downtown and provides easy access to Lido and Siesta Key beaches. We wanted to rent again next year but someone beat us to it! Highly recommend.

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.
