Charming Private Garden Cottage hide away in the heart of Sarasota

have your own tropical garden hide away in the heart of Sarasota. quiet and newly-remodeled. Everything is new and well appointed and fully-fitted out for those that like to cook. A lovely garden wraps you in tranquility on the dinning patio. Lots of privacy.

Fantastic location, in The Arts District, minutes from the airport. Just minutes to St. Armands Circles wonderful shopping and restaurants, beaches and downtown, offering great entertainment and restaurant options, several performing theaters, a comedy club, movie theaters. A bay front park is 1 block away, public tennis courts are 4 blocks away. Convenient!

Property is within a 5 minute radious of all Sarasota's cultural amenities, such as The Ringling Museum of Art (world-class art and grounds), The Historic Asolo Theater, and asThe Van Wezel (well-known entertainers frequently performing, downtown area with lots of restaurants, shopping a comedy club live theaters and Shelby Gardens just to list a few.
We are continuing to update the cottage every year. There is a very comfortable deck off the French doors with out door table and chairs for outdoor dinning We installed a high end air conditioning system which is insanely quite and very efficient. and of course new bedding which we do every year.

Winter getaway

Property was exactly as described, perfect for our short getaway to Sarasota. Owners were very friendly and easy to work with…even helped carry in our luggage upon arrival. Rental was very clean and well decorated. Kitchen was well stocked with all of our needs and the outdoor sitting area was very relaxing and beautiful.
