About this property

Storybook Cottage in a Dream Location - Private Pool, Near Siesta & More

Rent my one-bedroom, one-bath completely furnished historic guest cottage and feel instantly at home. Enjoy waking up to the sounds of tropical birds. Read the Sunday paper over a cup of coffee or tea in the sunny private courtyard. Take a morning walk down to the water and watch the fish jump.

The 750 square foot cottage is perfect for the single traveler or snowbird couple. There are no stairs to climb or elevators to take. Park your car(s) in the private guest drive.

This is a completely non-smoking property. Smoking inside or out is NOT allowed.


Lots of things available for use: beach chairs, beach umbrella, gas grill, charcoal grill, pool floats, lawn furniture, beach towels, coolers. If there's something special you need, just ask your neighbor (Me!) and I'll see what I can do.

I'm in the customer service / dream vacation business, so I've tried to think of all the little things that will make you want to come back to stay year after year after year.

Just Perfect
My husband and I and our little Chi-Pom had a wonderful 7 night stay at Jane’s place. It was close to everything we needed and had everything we wanted. Very private and quiet neighborhood. Would definitely stay again. Thank you Jane!

Storybook Cottage Vacation
This was a wonderful place to stay. It was private, clean and the swimming pool was wonderful. Jane was a great hostess. I stayed here with my dog and we went to the local dog park and wandered down the street to the park/river at the end of the street. Everyone I ran into was very friendly. It was a great, relaxing vacation.

Why they chose this property

The cottage is located on a historic street of 1920's homes. There is, quite frankly, no other street like it in all of Sarasota.

What makes this property unique

Enjoy the peace, quiet and privacy of "country living", yet be just minutes from everything and a short walk from scenic Old Sarasota Bay.
