great location

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our 1 month stay at the cottage. It was within walking distance of Main St. and the restaurants and all of the fabulous entertainment that Sarasota has to offer. The cottage was perfect for both of us and our daughter stayed for a week and loved it. Everything worked perfectly, internet, TV, air conditioning and there is a nice washer and dryer that we used. We would definitely go back. The owners couldn't have done more for us and they kept the grounds in excellent condition.

ideal location, generous amenities, extremely communicative hosts!

The property is in a prime location just a short walk away from downtown Sarasota. It's a cozy space that comes with generous amenities and a welcoming thoughtfulness. The kitchen is well stocked with glassware, dishes, appliances (even without a full kitchen) and supplies, and the bathroom is supplied with shampoo, conditioner, body wash and other sundries. The house provided a wonderful sanctuary from the scorching July heat. Nyoka, the host, was extremely quick to respond to questions and requests. She even helped us schedule a couple of last minute appointments at her spa. All in all, we had a truly relaxing stay at The Cottage.

Charming Cottage!

A beautiful cottage in a great area — plenty of room for my wife and I. Nyoka and Craig were wonderful to work with — very accommodating, and always accessible. Great location - a short 5 minute walk to downtown and all the shopping and restaurants, and an awesome breakfast/ lunch place right across the street! The cottage was well appointed; excellent amenities, fast wifi, comfortable bedding, plenty of towels, and a nice front porch where we sat outside every morning and evening. And you can take advantage of Nyoka’s spa just steps away! Loved out stay and will definitely return!

Beautiful cottage in a perfect downtown location!

We wanted a location to be able to walk to restaurants and bars. Short distance to beach also. Perfect! Host was easy to contact and even gave us early check in! Would definitely stay here again.
