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.

We spent an entire month at Nigel and Simone‘s cottage. it was simply wonderful, an experience we will treasure for the rest of our lives. The cottage is cozy, comfortable, clean, and completely welcoming. The term “premier host” is sometimes used a bit too casually. Nigel and Simone are simply the best hosts we have encountered in our extensive travels. There were a few very minor issues that needed attention, mostly because we’re not so great at handling new equipment. But Nigel was always responsive very quickly to our requests and took care of everything immediately. One of the best aspects of this rental is the extensive amount of equipment that is available; beach, chairs, camping chairs, blankets, umbrella, everything you need for the beach and enough for at least four people. We had some family come down, and we never had to worry about having enough equipment; one camping chair, broke, and within a day Nigel presented us with two brand new chairs. Where do you get that kind of service? The location is convenient to downtown Sarasota, the beach, Selby gardens, the airport, and every kind of shopping imaginable.

Everything was as described online. Clean, comfortable and conducive to a lovely stay. I will be back.

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.

This is an older cottage and does show its age in some areas. The bathroom is newer and the shower is very nice. The private outdoor area was nice. It only has a 1 room wall air conditioner and runs all the time to keep the place cool. There is a ceiling fan in the bedroom which does help. The queen bed in the bedroom is actually a futon, but has a nice mattress on it. The surface is clean, but could use a deep, steam clean and caulk and paint. Overall, it was an okay place.

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.

Easy and reasonable

Better than expected. Charming cottage.
