I am a repeated customer, I enjoy staying at this house. Love the location in a quiet neighborhood. Not too far from Siesta Beach and close to many restaurants and grocery store.
Check-in process was easy and convenient. House was clean and had all amenities needed. Spacious backyard for the kids. Comfortable beds. Would highly recommend!
Plenty of restaurants, grocers and shopping in the immediate area. Venture 10 minutes to Siesta Key with primo restaurants and the stellar Siesta Beach. The house is very comfortable; we loved staying there. We did our laundry, bought groceries (Detwiler's farm market is highly recommended), cooked a bit and saved some on restaurant expense. Very nice location and nice, spacious and comfortable house.
Very easy to check in, the manager provided everything needed including beach stuff! It is a quiet neighborhood with not much traffic. Highly recommend!

Lovely Home
We enjoyed our week at this cute beach home. It was very well stocked. The decor is warm and inviting. We appreciated comfortable beds after spending our days at the beautiful beaches. We highly recommend this house for comfort, convenience, and location.
Our stay at Nancy’s cottage was absolutely wonderful. The home was impeccably clean, the location was perfect, a pleasant quiet neighborhood.
All amenities were well thought out. This was our second visit, the first was 6 years ago. We are sincerely grateful for your hospitality.
We enjoyed our stay once again, the house has 2 beautiful bedrooms with a large living room area. It's located between 6 to 10 minutes drive to the beach and pickle ball courts depending on the traffic and time of day. We have stayed at this house several times and the hosts have always responded to our calls and resolved our issues whenever we had any.
Lovely home in the suburbs. Great communication from Nancy in the lead up. Check in process super easy.
House was spotless and very well equipped, from kitchenware to beach items and an emergency box.
Beds very comfy.
Gorgeous Beaches about 10-15min drive away. Some nice shops and restaurants within walking distance. Easily drivable to many of the activities including state park and Sarasota bay eco tours.
Had a lovely time - highly recommend
We had a great vacation staying at this property. The place was clean and the appliances worked. The neighborhood was very quiet. The location is awesome, because it’s close to the supermarket, beach and other stores. Two bicycles/ air pumps were available, so we had a choice of cycling to the food stores or the beach. There were beach chairs, umbrella and floaters available. We really appreciate having a washing machine and dryer. We recommend this place to anyone needing a home away from home.

A wonderful home and experience.
We would highly recommend staying at this home. It is exactly as the pictures depicted. The home was clean and had everything that we needed for our stay. The kitchen was well stocked for all of our needs and the beach toys, chairs, and towels, were an added bonus. The property is located in a quiet neighborhood and is conveniently located to many great restaurants and shops, and of course some of the most beautiful beaches around. Traveling with toddlers, we thoroughly enjoyed the big screened in porch and big fenced in yard. Nancy and Doug were great to work with and very timely in their responses to our needs.
My best friend and I were so happy and comfortable staying in this beautifully maintained and immaculate home. We enjoyed riding the bikes to breakfast because the house is not only in a convenient location but super close to the beach!!
Will definitely stay again when I’m back in the area.
Thanks so much!!!

We really liked the stay! Our daughter and friend were with us and while they spent time out and about we were mostly at the house. It is walking distance to food, etc
The property was super cute, excellent location, and very well appointed. We love that they put Christmas decorations in there. We definitely stay again.
The cottage was even better than described. It was close to the beach and everything that you might want to do or see. Even though it rained very hard one day, we had the rare opportunity of watching old movies all day and just hanging out. In the evening we sat on the screened in porch which also was a nice place to have breakfast . I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a nice place to spend a vacation, and also it has lots of things for kids to do. We plan on returning another time.
The house is located in a quiet neighborhood, near grocery stores and restaurants and not too far from the Siesta Beach and the Legacy Biking trails. The bedrooms and living room area are very spacious. This is our second time staying at this house, we have noticed that the furniture in the living room was not as clean as it was 3 years ago. It could use a good cleaning. Other than that, the house was very clean. The kitchen has everything you need to cook and prepare your meals at home. The owners were very pleasant and promptly responded to our needs. I would stay at this house again.
Loved our 2 weeks at this cottage. Nancy is a wonderful host who thought of everything to make our stay comfortable. We loved how close we were to restaurants, stores, attractions and the beaches.
We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this home. It was extremely clean and comfortable. It is well cared for and felt like home during our stay. We would definitely rent again if we return to the area.
Great value and location. Very clean house, in good working order. Exceeded our expectations. Quiet residential street yet you can walk to grocery store and restaurants. Laundry room, screened porch with table looking onto well manicured large backyard. Recent upscale appliances in the kitchen. Very accommodating landlord, who has anticipated your needs. All this makes for a stress free time. Thank you Nancy. We hope to return.
This property was clean, easy to find and had everything we could possible need! A great place to stay!
