Chic downtown gem-The cocoanut hut , hot tub and bbq night
🏡 WELCOME TO THE COCOANUT HUT
Welcome to The Cocoanut Hut, a newly built three-bedroom, two-bathroom home designed for comfort, privacy, and relaxed coastal living. The entire house is yours to enjoy.
The backyard is a true highlight, featuring a 50-jet hot tub set beneath a romantic pergola with flowing white curtains, offering a spa-like experience ideal for unwinding at the end of the day. Enjoy outdoor dining at the large table for six under a generous umbrella, relax on the lounge chairs, or prepare meals on the grill with built-in stovetop. Morning coffee, a book, and the gentle Florida breeze complete the experience.
The home is centrally located just a short drive from Lido Key and Siesta Key beaches, Sarasota Bay, downtown Sarasota, and St. Armands Circle for dining, shopping, and evening strolls.
Set in a genuine downtown residential area with a mix of historic homes and newer development, the neighborhood reflects real Sarasota living. Once inside the home, guests enjoy a calm, private atmosphere designed for quiet evenings and effortless stays.

About the host
Hosted by Emilio
My name is Emilio, 100% Italian all my life working for hospitality. I’ve always been a chef and owner of a restaurant but I’ve also worked in a hotel. I know perfectly how to give a great service.. I will do everything to offer you an unforgettable holiday. I love walking in the morning with my dogs and discovering that every day life is wonderful. See you soon.
Why they chose this property
It's an evolving, eccentric, old-fashioned neighborhood. It has a charm all its own; there are still older, well-maintained houses and newer, million-dollar homes. A block closer to downtown, it would have been impossible for me to buy a house like this.
The neighborhood is central to Sarasota's hot spots. 1 mile from Wholefoods or Publix, 5 minutes to downtown pubs and restaurants. 10 minutes to St. Armand's and Lido Key, 15 minutes to Siesta Key, 5 mins to SRQ Airport!
Everything is a short drive away. The neighborhood is part of a transforming historic community in the process of revitalization. It's laid back vibes gives you a feel of being in a tropical country without stepping foot outside of the US!

What makes this property unique
It's a new house, one of five identical houses...riding your bike downtown on a Saturday morning must be really nice.
