Summer Bliss
The house was absolutely stunning, well-organized and well-situated. It was literally minutes to all shopping amenities. A ten minute drive to St. Armand's and 20 minutes Siesta Keys. The house itself was very spacious, well-decorated and provided a great vacation vibe. Janet was always quick to reply if there were any questions throughout the process. I highly recommend the property.

Beautiful home close to everything!
The Happy House is so homey, clean, comfortable and downright lovely! It is close to everything--three miles from the airport and also within just a few miles of all the Sarasota sites: the Selby botanical gardens, the Ringling museum, the Marietta Museum of Whimsy, the Mote aquarium, Sarasota Jungle Gardens and Smugglers Cove mini golf. It also is close to so many lovely Sarasota restaurants. Just can't be beat!

Happy House Indeed!
We just returned to Canada (Quebec) after spending four truly enjoyable weeks at this wonderful house. We were three couples and all felt immediately at home with the spacious accommodation, well-stocked with all the amenities you could imagine for preparing and serving meals. The pool and beautiful backyard were very well appreciated, especially after a day of golfing, long walks or bicycling. The nearby beaches and attractions/museums/shopping were much appreciated. Also, the paintings/art throughout the house were incredible. We especially loved the layout of the house … there was always a quiet corner to read or catch up with news from home and family FaceTime!

This cottage is exceptional! Spotless and comfortable. Well-stocked kitchen with all the necessary basics. Whimsical and charming. The outside areas serve as a private sanctuary for renters. Would definitely recommend to others.

About the host

Hosted by Janet Posner

Host profile image
We bought this lovely home because we enjoy coming to Sarasota during February and look forward to sharing it with you the other months of the year. The rest of the year we live in Charlottesville, Virginia - home of the University of Virginia, Thomas Jefferson, and particularly beautiful fall and spring weather near the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Why they chose this property

Once we decided to buy, we fell in love with this tree-lined, quiet neighborhood, and this street in particular, with its proximity to viewing the sunset one block away, to flying in and out of the area via the Sarasota Bradenton International Airport only a few miles away, and to the Ringling complex of museums, cafes, and lectures, along with the short drives to all that downtown Sarasota has to offer, with its convenient shopping, art galleries, performance venues, and terrific dining.

What makes this property unique

We had so much fun picking out all the furniture and decor to change it from an empty building to a comfortable, inviting place to live with its screened patio, its open floor plan of spaces, its accommodating bedrooms and bath configuration, and its sunny, very private backyard and pool. We've tried to anticipate all your needs.
