Historic SarasotaCottageRentals Meets Key West Cool ~ Meets Shabby Chic. Please check with us regarding availability for the dates you require. We have a few housing options, for larger groups.

Why stay in a stuffy hotel when you can enjoy the traditional layout of our Cottages that gives you an authentic Florida experience in this unique, friendly and laid-back neighborhood?

Having gone through extensive renovations we're unveiling this gem and making it available to the discerning visitor to Sarasota. The 'Coral' Cottage is a tastefully refurbished mid-fifties 2BR/2BA that sparkles. Throughout our properties are numerous contributions of local artists with wall colors to highlight their work.

Entering through the back door you find sweeping granite counters that define the designer kitchen and creates a hospitable entertaining area. There's a granite island that accommodates 4 also filled with all the small appliances you'll need from blenders and mixers to an ice crusher. The narrow cupboards are filled with lovely casual and formal tableware. The washer and dryer also share the space. Located in the backyard is a patio with screened gazebo and outdoor dining area.

Off the kitchen is the Master bedroom with a king-size bed that can be reassembled into 2 twin beds if your needs require. The substantial mirrored closet is perfect for all those winter coats you won't be needing. A beautifully tiled full bath is also conveniently located there. Moving forward into the living room, you pass a half wall that allows for passing your plates into the dining area, which seats four to six people.

The living room includes a sofa bed and comfy chairs positioned to watch the 52" 4K TV with multiple streaming service subscriptions. The walls in this space are adorned with a unique custom paint job that will surely put you in a Florida state of mind.

In the second bedroom is a comfortable queen size bed. This space can also be used as another living area or office and has another TV. The new bathroom with shower is European in design with a glass tiled wall.

Windows cover the entire front of the Cottage and bathe the Cottage in sunlight. Custom plantation blinds can be drawn for your privacy. Original polished Terrazzo flooring will keep you cool as the temperature outside rises. Of course, there's Central Air Conditioning and Heat if you need it. Throughout are numerous contributions of local artists with wall colors to highlight their work.

Thoughtfully designed and environmentally sound gardens surround the properties, creating a park-like setting. Off-street parking for a car right behind the Cottage allows for easily carrying groceries from your car .

Nestled away among the palms, mangoes and jacaranda trees in the Historic District, our Cottages are surprisingly accessible to the attractions waiting for you in beautiful Downtown Sarasota, all within easy walking distance. Fine and casual dining options abound; art galleries, boutiques, salons, Selby botanical gardens, consignment stores and the bay are all just an easy stroll away, as are bike trails and kayaking.

Inquire with your preferred dates and we'll do our best to accommodate your group. Due to the City of Sarasota Zoning Code, we are NOT able to rent for periods shorter than one month nor rent to more than four (4) unrelated persons

We take NO-SMOKING very seriously. Smoking in the Cottages or anywhere on the premises will result in a loss of damage deposit. If you smoke and can not abide by our policy, please find another place to stay.

Thank you.

Great Coral Cottage in Sarasota's Historic Laural Park Neighborhood
Great location, charming cottage, and noteworthily thoughful owners. If you wish to rent in the historic Laurel Park neighborhood in Sarasota, this is the choice. Walk to everything, quiet (well, except for new house construction nearby, nearly complete), all very intelligently designed and supported.

Great cottage in awesome location
Our hosts Lesley and Joseph have done wonders refurbishing a cute cottage in the original building. The Coral Cottage is a comfortable two bedrooms and two bathrooms, with a redone kitchen, and all of the amenities in a nice open layout. In addition to an eclectic décor and beautiful outside area (there is a table and chairs outside to use housed in a tent), it is in a perfect location. We had stayed in Laurel Park before and targeted a place in that area. It is a walkable distance to downtown, many great bars and restaurants, the downtown Marina area, and various parks. We stayed for the month of February 2019 and never lacked for things to do, sites to see, and great places to eat. Siesta Key Beach is an easy 15 minute drive via Osprey Avenue, and Lido Beach and St. Armand's Circle are even closer, within 3 miles. The place was immaculate and Lesley and Joseph are cordial and very personable hosts, who could not do enough for you. We loved it so much that we have re-upped for next year.

Very nice dwelling. Everything we expected.One of the best features is its location .
The owners representative was quite helpful and always available to answer questions. We enjoyed our stay. A bit pricey when all costs are tallied, but worth it unless you’re on a tight budget.

Perfect location; fun cottage
We walked everywhere (or used the bicycles) even to the farmers' market. Great to have a king bed. Back yard is lovely and we ate most meals outside under the big canopy. No bugs!

Fantastic Cottage in the heart of Sarasota
We just finished a great week at this cottage in Sarasota. it is a fantastic place. The cottage is very well appointed and has everything you need. Beds are very comfortable. Kitchen is modern and user friendly. A lot of windows and natural light. The cottage is in a great location in the historic downtown, surrounded by other cottages. Location is within minutes to Sarasota Harbour, Lido Beach, Siesta Key and much more. I highly recommend this property for a nice and relaxing vacation!
