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. Definitely enjoyed our stay and would recommend to anyone traveling to Sarasota.

Delightful Sarasota Cottage!

This was a fantastic little cottage! It's exactly as advertised in the listing and VERY well appointed; high-quality bed linens and towels, great kitchen supplies, well-designed and functional use of space, and stunning gardens. Lynne was beyond accommodating and friendly, and truly made our stay in Sarasota fantastic. I highly recommend this dreamy little spot!

About the host

Hosted by Lynne Archibald

Host profile image
My husband and I are Florida natives living in Sarasota. What we love about the area so much is it is close to the water, close to downtown with restaurants, cultural venues and a easy lifestyle. One of my favorite hobbies is fishing in the gulf. I am inspired every time with the water colors and sunsets. We do live on site in a separate house so if you need any assist, we would be more than happy to help.

This is me with a bunch of my friends on the beach at sunset. Sarasota is a lovely community.
