We loved our stay at the cottage. It was sparkling clean and very cute inside. It was very well-equiped and fully stocked with kitchen supplies, bedding, books, games, and beach items. Our favorite part was the beautiful backyard; we loved spending time hanging out there. It is in a very central location and close to great restaurants and shopping in downtown Sarasota. We would definitely book again when back in the area!
