Fully stocked house for short-term renters with linens, shampoo, conditioner, soap, laundry detergent, paper goods, and starter coffee/tea/creamers. Bring your clothes and toothbrush only!

We loved our stay at the cottage. It was sparkling clean and very cute inside. It was very well-equiped and fully stocked with kitchen supplies, bedding, books, games, and beach items. Our favorite part was the beautiful backyard; we loved spending time hanging out there. It is in a very central location and close to great restaurants and shopping in downtown Sarasota. We would definitely book again when back in the area!

Sarasota Gem

We stayed for six days in the Fisherman Cottage. It was well appointed with all you need for a family or romantic stay. Beds were comfy, back porch and patio were clean and inviting. Geoff is there promptly if a need arises. We had a great time and highly recommend it!

Perfect Oasis

The home was clean. Comfortable, inviting decor. The home is equipped with everything you need for a wonderful, relaxing stay. The Back Yard is AMAZING. Such a peaceful space to bring a book, play your music (quietly it is a neighborhood) and just enjoy the FL sun or shade, the back yard provides both. The host was wonderful. I hope to stay again soon!

This place is a gem!

My husband and our daughter stayed at this place for a week, and it was absolutely marvelous. Geoff is very responsive, attentive to detail, and the house is very clean and delightful on the inside. On the outside, in the back yard adjoining the bayou, there is a wonderful gazebo with trailing bougainvillea. There is a fire pit in the middle of the gazebo that we sat around and sipped wine and talked for hours. It’s also very close to the airport! I can’t say enough positive about this place! We loved it!
