Secluded stay in Sarasota

Secluded, well-stocked, comfortable and convenient to Ed Smith Stadium. Beaches and St. Armands were 30-40 minutes away. The bathroom was a step up from the bedroom, so this house is not appropriate for anyone handicapped.

The 1920's Cottage was absolutely a wonderful stay with beautiful gardens and wildlife and very tranquil and very accessible to other places. We enjoyed Lido beach north and Sarasota downtown and took a drive within an hour to Saint Petersburg a very trendy and beautiful city. Our host Nigel was very kind and accommodating.

Lovely cottage

This cottage was perfect for us, well appointed, clean and comfortable. Very private and a lovely outdoor seating area. The gardens out side were beautiful with lots of tropical plants and flowers. The owners were very receptive and the location was great, and only a few minutes to most of the local attractions. Highly recommend.

Cozy Sarasota Cottage

The cottage was a nice home away from home. We really enjoyed our stay and all the amenities. The kitchen area was perfect and stocked with all the necessary utensils and cookware. The bed was super comfy and the back porch was great to enjoy morning coffee. Nigel was super fast to respond to any inquiries we had. It is a little slice of heaven. We would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone.
