Spotlessly clean, great location within walking distance of harbor and many restaurants. We absolutely loved our stay. House has many thoughtful upgrades that made our stay particularly pleasant! Owner was very available and helpful! Thank you for having us!!
This cottage met every expectation. Great location for walking around downtown Sarasota, owner has thought of every need from bathroom toiletries to kitchen gadgets. Very clean and nicely appointed. Beds were super comfy. Not one complaint! Will definitely book again when we're back in Sarasota.
I can't say enough nice things about this house and owner. Check in was smooth. Everything we needed was in place. Location was perfect. House was cute as a button and owner was so very kind. I would give this rental 10 stars.
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our 1 month stay at the cottage. It was within walking distance of Main St. and the restaurants and all of the fabulous entertainment that Sarasota has to offer. The cottage was perfect for both of us and our daughter stayed for a week and loved it. Everything worked perfectly, internet, TV, air conditioning and there is a nice washer and dryer that we used. We would definitely go back. The owners couldn't have done more for us and they kept the grounds in excellent condition.
We wanted a location to be able to walk to restaurants and bars. Short distance to beach also. Perfect! Host was easy to contact and even gave us early check in! Would definitely stay here again.
Our stay was just spectacular. The cottage is just lovely. My niece & family moved to Sarasota 2 yrs ago & this was our 1st vist. The cottage is perfectly located to walking for everything. It is set up with all conveniences & so nice & quite for relaxation if choosing to just stay in. We loved our stay & hope to stay again in the future. Craig & Nyoka, thank you
A beautiful cottage in a great area — plenty of room for my wife and I. Nyoka and Craig were wonderful to work with — very accommodating, and always accessible. Great location - a short 5 minute walk to downtown and all the shopping and restaurants, and an awesome breakfast/ lunch place right across the street! The cottage was well appointed; excellent amenities, fast wifi, comfortable bedding, plenty of towels, and a nice front porch where we sat outside every morning and evening. And you can take advantage of Nyoka’s spa just steps away! Loved out stay and will definitely return!
The property is in a prime location just a short walk away from downtown Sarasota. It's a cozy space that comes with generous amenities and a welcoming thoughtfulness. The kitchen is well stocked with glassware, dishes, appliances (even without a full kitchen) and supplies, and the bathroom is supplied with shampoo, conditioner, body wash and other sundries. The house provided a wonderful sanctuary from the scorching July heat. Nyoka, the host, was extremely quick to respond to questions and requests. She even helped us schedule a couple of last minute appointments at her spa. All in all, we had a truly relaxing stay at The Cottage.
We loved staying at the cottage next door!! It was very welcoming, super clean and well-appointed with every amenity you could need. The location was perfect, short walk to many restaurants and shops. Also close to the bay front marina. The communication with Nyoka (the owner) was excellent before, during and after our stay. We definitely plan on returning and I look forward to visiting her spa which is right next door.
This is a great cottage downtown Sarasota. There are restaurants and parks within walking distance. The beds are comfortable and the cottage has everything you need to include beach towels and chairs. Would recommend!
We loved our stay at The Cottage Next Door! The location is perfect, on a quiet street close to everything going on downtown and to the bay and Selby Gardens. The cottage was impeccably clean and tastefully renovated/modernized with great HVAC, comfy beds and everything you could need. The induction burner was easy to use if you want to cook, but we also enjoyed sampling the many restaurants within a few blocks walk. The house was filled with thoughtful extras like filtered water, fresh ice, Kleenex and toiletries, different kinds of coffee and tea and other touches that made our stay even more comfortable. We will definitely stay at the cottage again when we return to Sarasota!
The cottage was great! Very clean and nice. Great location downtown, close to everything in the Sarasota area (beaches, restaurants etc.). Host was very nice and responsive, we really enjoyed our stay, would stay again and recommend.
I’ve stayed in many rentals over the years but this by far has been the best experience. So much thought and care went into the setup of this home for guests!!!! Every possible need was thought of and provided for. Beautiful home!
We had a great experience at the property! Checkin and checkout were a breeze, location was convenient and very walkable and the cottage was incredibly clean. We would stay again!
