have your own tropical garden hide away in the heart of Sarasota. quiet and newly-remodeled. Everything is new and well appointed and fully-fitted out for those that like to cook. A lovely garden wraps you in tranquility on the dinning patio. Lots of privacy.

Fantastic location, in The Arts District, minutes from the airport. Just minutes to St. Armands Circles wonderful shopping and restaurants, beaches and downtown, offering great entertainment and restaurant options, several performing theaters, a comedy club, movie theaters. A bay front park is 1 block away, public tennis courts are 4 blocks away. Convenient!

Property is within a 5 minute radious of all Sarasota's cultural amenities, such as The Ringling Museum of Art (world-class art and grounds), The Historic Asolo Theater, and asThe Van Wezel (well-known entertainers frequently performing, downtown area with lots of restaurants, shopping a comedy club live theaters and Shelby Gardens just to list a few.
We are continuing to update the cottage every year. There is a very comfortable deck off the French doors with out door table and chairs for outdoor dinning We installed a high end air conditioning system which is insanely quite and very efficient. and of course new bedding which we do every year.

Cozy cottage, great hosts
Really nice cottage. It is clean and comfortable with nice decorations and a private garden. The location is very convenient to places in Sarasota. Lynne and Doug are great hosts. From the things they prepared and arranged in the cottage and around, you can tell that they are very considerate of their guests. Communication with them was very easy. We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend their cottage to anyone!

Perfect Sarasota Getaway
This place was absolutely perfect for a two person getaway. It was a quick 5 minute drive from the airport and about 10 minutes from St. Armand’s Circle and beautiful beaches. The hosts were incredibly accommodating, and made for a very welcoming stay. The place was beautiful!

Tranquil Tropical Hideaway
The cottage is truly lovely, and very restful. It is tastefully decorated and had everything we needed. There is a fully equipped kitchen, a lovely bathroom with shower, a storage closet, a comfortable bed with nightstands and a dresser for storing our clothes, and a cozy living room, with loveseat, two chairs, and an entertainment center with TV. Our hosts thoughtfully provided access to a washer and dryer, and they had beach towels, and chairs, and even frisbees and games to take to the beach. The gardens outside are lovely and there is an outdoor table and chairs where we enjoyed our coffee and breakfast. The cottage feels hidden away because of the tropical foliage and delightful garden. Even though the area had been experiencing a drought, it felt like a little slice of paradise to us. There is so much to explore and do in the Sarasota area. We were only five minutes from the Ringling Museum and estate, about five minutes from downtown where there are lots of good restaurants and interesting shops, and less than ten minutes to the Selby botanical gardens. We spent one evening at Lido Beach to watch the sunset about ten minutes away, and we spent the last afternoon on Siesta Key, which is only about 15 minutes away, although it took us at least that long again to find a parking space. Sunday afternoons seem like prime time for everyone to go to the beach. We enjoyed every minute of our stay at the cottage, and we look forward to returning in the future.

A little bit of New England in mid-Florida
Beautifully designed and maintained,, including fresh flowers and greenery awaiting our visit. We didn't take to the searing sunshine and scalding weather, but found the cottage our welcome refuge. Its proximity to a Publix market nearly just around the corner proved a godsend.

This lovely condo is exactly as pictured. There is a private patio area featuring table and chairs for outdoor dining with beautiful landscaping all around the unit. We spent our mornings and evenings out on the patio listening to the birds singing. Lynn has good information for local events, restaurants, shopping. We loved our stay and would hope to again!
