About this house rental
This totally renovated adorable beach cottage is located less than a 10 minute drive to Siesta Key. Siesta Key is a beach destination highlighted on many travel lists as one of the top 10 beaches in the U.S.A.
My 1950's style Florida beach cottage underwent a complete renovation top to bottom. It has been thoughtfully updated and tastefully decorated to offer a dream house effect allowing guests to feel on vacation yet comfortable as if they are right at home. This 2 bedroom 2 bathroom cottage house can accommodate a maximum of 5 guests. While there is plenty of sleeping, sitting and relaxing space in this spacious open concept floor plan, the 5 person maximum is to ensure our guest's experience is that of absolute comfort. As the home owner, I am passionate about my home and will always remain closely engaged with the upkeep of our property and the satisfaction of my guests. I hope you feel the love and care during your stay.
The green, canopied spacious front yard was recently covered with 5000 lbs of crushed sea shells and is graced with tropical trees giving it the feel of a botanical garden. Extra rooms such as the screened furnished patio and large Florida Room make it easy for everyone to have their own quiet private space. Guests may also easily find communion with this open floor plan, while lounging in the living room, snacking at the dining table or cooking in the kitchen. There is HIGH SPEED WIFI and Smart TVs so you can watch all of your favorites shows. My home is a serene respite after a long day and is exactly suited for the discerning traveler.
I AM DOG FRIENDLY! I love furry animal friends and am responsible for a few of my own; however I only allow WELL-BEHAVED dogs. The pet policies are straight forward and cater to owners of clean well-behaved pooches. The pet policies need to be reviewed before booking. There is NO EXTRA CHARGE FOR DOGS and there is a maximum limit of 2 dogs at any given time. While there are plenty of fresh linens and towels available at the house, I have an outdoor shower and designated dog towels too. Please keep your dogs off of the furniture (unless you throw down an old sheet or dog blanket) and leashed when outside of the house at all times. Guests are required to inform us about their pets before booking and any other pets that are visiting the property during their stay. I highly recommend dog beach (http://www.exploringsarasota.org/dog-parks.html) and insist that your furry friend take a thorough rinse with fresh water and a good drying after every swim in the ocean. There are dog showers at the beach to make it easy. A washer and dryer is available in the house which makes for light packing and more relaxing time.
The private cottage is nestled on a shaded street just 10 minutes from Siesta Key beach and downtown Sarasota. You will find a wide variety of shops, restaurants and nightlife downtown, on Siesta Key and Lido Key. The Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall (one of the top performing arts centers in the US) is just down the road as are too many restaurants and shops to count. I also happily provide guests with recommendations of some my favorite places to dine in this fresh seafood paradise which continues to host a wide variety of culinary diversity.
Within reasonable driving distance for day adventures you will find Tampa, Clearwater, St.Petersburg and Anna Maria Island and the enumerable beaches and places of interests that dot the Gulf Coast. My home is the ideal place to set down your roots and flip flops and feel right at home while either on a long-term vacation or on a short-term getaway.
The home is green and I ask guests to be mindful of energy, recycling and guest rules - thank you advance for being conscientious and treating my home as you would your own. The house is filled with love, happiness and good energy. Enjoy!

This was our second stay at this lovely cottage. It is convenient to the beaches, restaurants, shopping. Everything we needed for a week at the beach was provided. The home is clean and beautifully decorated. The beds are comfortable. I hope to visit again next spring or fall!!

Our hosts, Jude was outstanding. She was very responsive, attentive, and genuinely cared about our experience. She provided detailed information about the house and the local area, and were always available to answer any questions we had. Her hospitality truly made us feel at home.
This VRBO property exceeded our expectations in every way. It was the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and luxury. We left feeling refreshed and rejuvenated, and we’re already planning our next visit. If you’re looking for a fantastic place to stay with top-notch hospitality, look no further. Highly recommended!

I will definitely be staying here again. The owners were a delight to work with. They are very dog friendly and worked with us to make sure we had all our questions answered and needs met.
Cottage is neatly tucked away off main roads. There is also a huge front yard which makes it feel even more private even though it is already on a quieter side street. I was lucky to met one of the neighbors who was very very friendly as well.
The showers are excellent and the bathroom were big and clean, which was important to me. The entire place was obviously decorated with a professional touch.
Every room had lots and lots of seating. I would sometimes forget which side table i left my coffee mug or wine glass on, because i would be couch surfing from room to room to test the various seating arrangements.
All in all: excellent accommodations, comfortable home-like feeling from the time you arrive.

If I’m to fault anything at all, it may be time to invest in a new grill. This is such a minor complaint unless you’re planning on grilling everyday. We only used it once. Otherwise, the great reviews are accurate.

We truly enjoyed spending a month in Jude's wonderful home. We arrived to find a bottle of wine and other treats waiting for us. We loved sitting in the enclosed yard where our dog could run free as well as relax on the screened-in porch. The kitchen is small but adequate. Jude was an attentive host. She checked in regularly and made sure we had everything we needed. We would highly recommend this home.

We had a great time spending a bit more than one week at this lovely property. The house looks and feels as described, everything is neatly decorated and makes you feel at home as soon as you open the door. Lots of extras are included with the rental (i.e. towels and beach towels, foldable beach chairs, umbrellas, etc.) plus the kitchen is very well equipped, so there's really no need to get anything extra to enjoy your stay in Sarasota. House and surroundings very well-kept and clean, as well. Quiet neighborhood close to Bee Ridge and lots of shops / places to eat. Takes about 10-15 mins to the beach at Siesta Key by car, 4 bikes are supplied as well - it was too hot outside to use them during our stay. Judy is a very accomodating and friendly host. Can 100% recommend.

Jude is a gracious host who's accommodating, friendly and knowledgeable with local attractions. The cottage is just like the pictures and tastefully decorated. Its super clean and all the furniture are in great shape. The property is also well stocked with daily basic necessities and beach gear. The location of this cottage is SUPERB as its close to everything from restaurants, shops and beaches. It's one of the best located properties we stayed for the close proximity to variety of great attractions.
Thank you for sharing your lovely Beach Cottage with us! The Zhangs,,

It is very close to the beach, and many dining areas nearby! Beyond exceeded my expectations! Would definitely stay here again:)

Easy! Property Manager is SO kind and available without ever feeling like she’s lurking! We were arriving after 11 pm and she insisted we text her so she’d know we were settled in; so sweet.
Just as the photos; everything is just perfectly decorated and yet not at all uncomfortable or fussy. Property is very convenient to shopping, beaches, day trips and a surprise; quiet and private despite being on a more trafficked/less residential road.
This is a different price point than we usually rent (generally more people on our party/bigger house). We were really pleased and would rent here again.

Just what you think a vintage white washed cottage in Florida would be. Best stocked for renter comfort that I’ve ever stayed. It was perfect for a mother/daughter weekend. The restaurant recommendations were great!

We highly recommend this property because of the exceptional location to everything and how quaint and homey it was! The owner went above and beyond to welcome and assist us with any questions. She even helped with our puppies! A lovely person. We were planning on rebooking but evidently others have already beat us to it! Definitely ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!

Excellent stay on every level. Comfy beds and couches. Very clean. Had everything we needed. Lovely surroundings with great screen porch and a comfy backyard, nice table and chairs. Short drive over north bridge to beach. Near the best seafood houses. We want to return next year. The nicest, smartest and most lovely host.

The property was absolutely immaculate, with attention to every detail! The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook…utensils, seasonings, plastic bags, everything you could think of. We didn’t have to buy any extras items (except for food) when we made meals. Also, Judith was so easy to work with. Every little detail is beautifully done. She takes such care to make each room cozy and inviting.
It took us about ten minutiae get to Siesta Key by car.
