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.

The property was very nice. It was comfortable and located in a quiet neighborhood, just miles from the beach. The highlight was the beautiful view off the back deck.

The cottage was very well maintained, clean, and all amenities furnished. The bed had a very thin mattress and much too firm for me. Everything else was outstanding.

Great location. Excellent host communication when needed. Pull out sofa bed (the second bed) was not the most comfortable, but worked for the duration of our stay. We would stay at this facility again.

My daughter and I spent the weekend of my 70th bd for a girls getaway with friends in the area. I wasn’t sure about the neighborhood, but didn’t need to be, as the space is a totally private gated oasis. Super cute decor and renovation. The deck with grill and tropical plantings is charming. I slept on the sofa without pulling it out to be a sleeper as there wasn’t much room and the coffee table was heavy to move, but was very comfy. Also the fact that there was no ice maker concerned me at first but there was ice left in the bin and water bottles provided so not a problem. Nigel seemed lovely when we spoke. Would definitely return.

The cottage is a wonderful little oasis in Sarasota. The owner communication was excellent and the check in process was seamless. I arrived at night. My first impression was the cottage was clean, well appointed and quiet. In the morning I realized it was surrounded on all sides by the garden with a sweet private outside sitting area. A washer and dryer is available. The location is about a 10-15 minute drive to downtown, beaches or other activities. After a busy day you can return to a quiet cottage nestled in a garden.

We loved this cottage, very nice place to stay. Also the manager of the property was amazing with us, keeping quick communication all the time. We had a situation the day we were supposed to do check in and they helped us to get another date available so we wouldn't lose our reservation. Our experience was 5 stars and we would stay there for sure in the future.

Charming cottage oasis
The cottage is very charming, warm and comfortable. We loved the back patio area/bbq area and it was a lovely spot to sit for morning coffee or end of the day glass of wine.
The cottage is furnished nicely and had everything we needed. Kitchen is well set up and we appreciated the treats that were there to welcome us. For longer stays it was handy to have the washer and dryer.
It is clear that much thought went into furnishing and setting up the cottage to be a comfortable place to stay.
We would definitely stay here again!

Homey cottage
We stayed for 2 1/2 weeks in this cozy, comfortable cottage. Nigel and Simone are wonderful VRBO hosts. They were very responsive and work hard to make it a comfortable stay. We loved eating on the private back patio, and using the grill. The location is perfect, easy to get downtown and to other area attractions.

It is in a beautiful lush tree filled setting with flowers. Rooms were clean with all we needed for our 2 week stay. The owner was very responsive to our questions and calls on using anything there unfamiliar to us. We enjoyed our vacation there very much.
