Perfect location
My husband and I had a great time at the cottage with our son, DIL, and 13 mo old granddaughter for a week over Spring Break We appreciated the location that is a short walk to North Lido Beach and St. Armand's Circle. It is also close to a trolley that can take you to downtown Sarasota. Loading up the wagon and beach gear provided by the host, we hit the beach most days and returned for sunsets. The cottage was well-equipped with everythng we needed.

Great location and great hosts
The Flamingo cottage is in a great location. Not directly on the water but only a 3 minute walk down the path. Deb and Ed have left the ambiance of a quaint cottage with all the upgrades to make it perfect.

Charming ranch style house in quiet residential area close to beach but away from crowds. Well appointed with wi-fi, big screen tv, fully equipped kitchen. Counter space for air fryer and slow cooker which we brought. Owners marvelous to work with and very supportive while one of us experienced a hospitalization. We'll be back!

Perfect Getaway
Home is lovely and well cared for. EVERYTHING you may need is supplied: coffee, plenty of towels, beach chairs, umbrella, cart. Beach access is a mere 4 minute walk away. Deb is extremely accommodating, helpful and reachable even though it was over the Christmas/New Year holidays. Walk to restaurants is a breeze. As I said, the house is perfect.

Awesome vacation home in North Lido
I Family has stayed with Deb for the second time this year. We love this location and it’s sister cottage next-door. Great location, walkable to Saint Armands Circle, and just a short walk to the beach. Great environment and the beach is not crowded typically. We will definitely stay again!
