Cozy Suite Near Pinecraft & Downtown Sarasota

Welcome to The Empty Nest, a charming two-room suite tucked away on a quiet dead-end streetb, yet close to downtown Sarasota, University Town Center, and just 15 minutes from award-winning beaches. Across the street, enjoy the Legacy Trail and the Pompano Trailhead—perfect for walking, biking, or playing pickleball.

This private suite, part of our main house, offers complete privacy. Relax in a quiet bedroom and enjoy a separate room for sitting, dining, or just hanging out. The suite includes a private bathroom with both a shower and a tub. Step out to the screened deck to unwind in the fresh air.

The kitchenette features a mini fridge and microwave, with a hot plate and toaster available for longer stays (note: no sink).

Our quaint neighborhood sits just outside the heart of Old Pinecraft—you may spot Amish neighbors riding bikes around the area.

Sarasota is a vibrant destination with new restaurants, cultural attractions, and beautiful beaches. The Empty Nest is ideally located: 15 minutes from the beach, downtown, and Benderson Park; 1 hour to Tampa and St. Petersburg; and 1 hour to Venice and Punta Gorda.

Whether you’re visiting friends, family, or simply relaxing on the soft white sand, The Empty Nest offers a cozy home base in the perfect neighborhood—nothing is too far away!

The Empty Nest is the right choice for one or two people looking for a quiet, private place to stay, and yet is close and convenient to all that Sarasota has to offer! Starting with a friendly, welcoming host, the clean living area, to the private patio/pool area, it was a great experience for us!

About the host

Hosted by Rachel Martin

Host profile image

I am a mom of three wonderful children! My two sons live in Asheville, NC. My daughter, recently left for college. Now that we are officially an Empty Nesters, I am renting out my private suite!
I work full time as Operations Manager of a large downtown church, in Sarasota. I have worked there for 17 years! I also have a sweet yorkie named Ollie. I am also a judge for Odyssey of the Mind, a creative problem solving competition for kids, for the regional, state, and world levels. While being an empty nester frees up some of my time, I definitely don't have a hard time staying busy!

I was born and raised in Buffalo, NY and still have family there so I enjoy trips there and love to stay in other BNB's.

My husband is retired but teachers drivers ed for local high schools.

We hope that you will get time to explore the Sarasota area and especially the exciting downtown nightlife.
