Made a Great Weekend Even Better!

The house had everything we possibly could need for a relaxing weekend on the beach. The backpack straps on the beach chairs made it so easy to get set up for a day on the beach!

cozy home

We liked everything very much, the house was very clean and cozy, the house has everything you need for a vacation, everything you need for the beach. We are very happy with our vacation in this house. The only downside for us is that the beds are very high, but everything else is fine.

Nancy's house is one of my favorite vacation rentals I have stayed at to date. Her listing states that it has everything you could need in a home away from home, and the house was all that and more. I stayed with my 2 kids (age 18,19) for 5 nights and we all agreed it was one of our favorite trips to Sarasota/Siesta & we would stay here again. Some of my favorite things worth noting:I love rentals that make it easy for me to cook meals for my family, and this went above & beyond. I like to limit dining out to once a day, and I enjoy being in the kitchen together after a long day at the beach. We loved that a grill was available and there were plenty of pots and pans for cooking inside as well as containers for storing leftovers.To find a 2nd shower in the laundry room was a happy surprise. My kids, even as adults, still argue over who gets to shower first after a coming in from a day outside. This was perfect!I loved the landscaping in the backyard, the hammock, and the lanai area. We spent a lot of time here! She has beautiful plants around the property.The beds were comfortable as well as the living room furniture. We slept great and enjoyed relaxing in the living room before bed.Lastly, I always look for places that have beach gear, and this exceeded expectations. All of the items for the beach were so nice, and we did our part to keep them that way. Do not hesitate to book this place - it's lovely! We will definitely be checking availability on our next trip!!

Comfy and Great Location

We had a great stay in this little house. I loved that everything for a trip to the beach was provided including sand toys, chairs, towels, umbrella, noodles, a cooler, and a bag. The kitchen is also fully stocked. The king bed is incredibly comfortable. The house was very clean too. We enjoyed our stay and would love to return again.

Nice Rental

Nice rental with a convenient location. Not far from Siesta Key Beach, stores, etc. Home had what we needed and owner was very helpful and responsive. We felt very comfortable even with the passing of Tropical Storm Debby (which became Hurricane Debby)! The neighborhood offered great opportunity for walks. We would stay again!

Nancy was great. We had an issue with the plumbing (toilet would not flush), she got a plumber over right away. The location is very close to Siesta Key beach and the strip of restaurants. We had a great time at the cottage.

Sarasota Visit

This property is fabulous! The location is great and the neighborhood is safe. It is very clean, cute and comfortable. The hosts offer beach gear (beach umbrella, chairs, toys, a cooler and a tote cart), which was fabulous for our day at the beach. There were also 2 bikes available for guest use. We spent evenings in the back porch, playing games and enjoying the wonderful weather. We would definitely stay here again, it's top of the line!

Cozy cottage in convenient neighborhood.

My husband and I spent the 2023 winter in Nancy and Doug's comfortable cottage in Gulf Gate. We enjoyed eating out on the lanai. The neighborhood is pleasant, quiet and a great place for taking a walk or riding the bikes. It is an easy drive to Siesta Beach and Myakka River State Park. It was also easy to get downtown. There are lots of good restaurants nearby, as well as grocery stores and a CVS.

I recommend this property

I stayed at the property with my parents. This is a clean and well equipped rental. It has everything you need for the beach, a grill, and bikes! The decor is also very nice. Although we dined out, you could easily make meals with the items available in the kitchen. Depending on who you are traveling with, sharing the one bathroom could be a challenge. We appreciated Nancy promptly coming to our rescue when we locked ourselves out.

Couldn't Have Been Better!

Nancy is about the nicest and most accommodating hostess I have rented from. Her house was only 15 minutes from Siesta Key Beach and surrounding areas. It was very easy and convenient to get to. The bonus was that everything you needed to go to the beach with - she had it. The AC worked amazingly great, beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything necessary to cook and or make coffee.
