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!

Book right away as your vacation home at the beach awaits!

    We had a fantastic stay in this beautiful, spacious and tastefully decorated house. The landlord was very responsive and secured a visit from the plumber immediately after we flagged a problem with a sink. The house is very well equipped for home cooking and beach activities (bikes, beach chairs...) Totally recommend!

Her warm hospitality and thoughtful touches made all the difference. Our trip couldn’t have been more perfect—we’re already dreaming of coming back!

    Great house! Excellent communication We booked it on a one day notice and had no issues. One recommendation, get a king bed for one of the bedrooms. The queen is a little small and not quiet. Besides that, it was great for us!

    This fully equipped and beautifully decorated home was a joy to return to after the days beach combing and shopping! Quiet, clean and more accommodating than we had imagined! The host was so helpful and eager to make our stay a success—which it was! Gave us a taste of “coastal living” at its best! Thank you for a great stay…

    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!
