About this property
Less than 3 Miles to Siesta Key Beach! NO pet fee!
Our sweet serene older cottage home is located in a quiet old Florida neighborhood and is across from a small neighborhood park with a small lake. It is walking distance to many shops and places to eat. There is only one road you need to take to the beach! Our property has wood floors, a fireplace, fenced in yard, screened in patio, loft and deck that overlooks a neighborhood park. If you are looking for some rest and relaxation along with great bird watching this is it! Best of all if you have a furry family member they can be with you too! I am a special needs teacher in Sarasota so if you need anything or help deciding where to go, I can help! You will absolutely enjoy Sarasota and the weather is spectacular!

We had a great stay at this property. There were plenty of dishes and towels. The beds were comfortable. We loved sitting on the front porch watching the birds. It's a quick drive over to Crescent Beach. Lots of shops and restaurants nearby. Carrie was very responsive to messages I sent.
Host was very helpful with recommendations for beaches, dog parks and restaurants. We needed to check in a bit earlier due to fur babies and made it possible! House was clean, cozy and a great yard fly our pups. Highly recommend
Carrie was so helpful throughout our stay. She was in constant communication whenever I would message her. We had 4 animals with us and truly appreciated being able to bring them with us. Backyard is fenced in so we didn't have to worry about the dogs. The house is cute and homey, very pet friendly with all the little signs hanging around. It is in a great location, especially if you're staying on vacation!
Rented this house for a girl's weekend with m daughter. It was very comfortable. Loved that it was close to Siesta Key, mini golf, Siesta Key Rum and a great seafood restaurant. Very quite neighborhood. The beds were great.
The house and fenced in back yard were all nice and what was ex0ected. The interior is rather dark/dim but not sure what can be done about that. The house was a bit dusty when we arrived bit not that big of a deal. Overall we had a very nice time. The bed in the bigger room is very comfortable and we appreciated all the ammenties in the house.

Had the owner told us in the ad that they had bugs we would NOT have stayed there. I feel we deserve a 50% refund as the owner was less than honest in our accommodations. The owner left a message for us on the refrigerator that said because this was in South Florida and that it was 'bug season' we could expect this. That is not right because we stayed in another home in January and had no bugs. Sincerely, KE and ME
The property was clean and ready when we arrived. The layout of the house was a little strange as the master bedroom had a loft, like it was set up for kids. But if you are staying with children I'm sure they would love it! The property owner had everything labeled so there was no confusion. We found it very helpful and had a great stay.
The property was clean just right for the two of us. It was a quiet and nice neighborhood. It was close to shopping and our visiting wedding venue. We would love to stay there again.

Didnt like the hot nature of thw property as the wasnt working right, per owner. I sweat a lot so that kept me up every night.
The place was great and the pups loved running around the yard. The pictures don’t really do it justice because in person it is bigger then we anticipated. It was super close to everything and close to the beach. The bed was very comfortable and they left great recommendations on were to eat.
We stayed there 3 weeks while our home close by was being remodeled.
Owner was a delight! Answered every question I had. We and our pups loved all the birds!! So many useful tools in the kitchen from Keurig to Espresso machine! Close to Publix and easy delivery too!
Home owner had everything labeled and had everything you need and more for a getaway. Great indoor screened back porch and fenced in yard. All utensils needed to cook with and even spices and seasonings. We forgot our shampoo and she had some there to use.....really no others words but amazing to describe home owner and experience. Extremely hospitable
Very happy with this booking, lovely cottage, all rooms nicely decorated; well maintained, very clean and stocked with everything you needed to feel like a home away from home. Nice fenced in back yard for our pup to roam and play. Close to many attractions to visit and lots of restaurants if you wanted to dine out. Also close to beaches. Our host, Carrie, left lots of helpful suggestions on places to visit, also Carrie was always available to answer any questions or if you needed to contact her. We plan to return later this year, catch up on some places we did not get to see. Highly recommend this property.

The house was nice and the fact that I could bring my dogs was the biggest selling point for me....My wife and I did enjoy the house and it served all our needs......
The owners were absolutely the BEST!! They were so great to deal with; easy communication, quick responses. The place size was perfect for us and how they allow dogs without any extra fees is fantastic. I would highly recommend staying here for easy access to the beaches. Will use again. Thank you.
