great location

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our 1 month stay at the cottage. It was within walking distance of Main St. and the restaurants and all of the fabulous entertainment that Sarasota has to offer. The cottage was perfect for both of us and our daughter stayed for a week and loved it. Everything worked perfectly, internet, TV, air conditioning and there is a nice washer and dryer that we used. We would definitely go back. The owners couldn't have done more for us and they kept the grounds in excellent condition.

ideal location, generous amenities, extremely communicative hosts!

The property is in a prime location just a short walk away from downtown Sarasota. It's a cozy space that comes with generous amenities and a welcoming thoughtfulness. The kitchen is well stocked with glassware, dishes, appliances (even without a full kitchen) and supplies, and the bathroom is supplied with shampoo, conditioner, body wash and other sundries. The house provided a wonderful sanctuary from the scorching July heat. Nyoka, the host, was extremely quick to respond to questions and requests. She even helped us schedule a couple of last minute appointments at her spa. All in all, we had a truly relaxing stay at The Cottage.

Charming Cottage!

A beautiful cottage in a great area — plenty of room for my wife and I. Nyoka and Craig were wonderful to work with — very accommodating, and always accessible. Great location - a short 5 minute walk to downtown and all the shopping and restaurants, and an awesome breakfast/ lunch place right across the street! The cottage was well appointed; excellent amenities, fast wifi, comfortable bedding, plenty of towels, and a nice front porch where we sat outside every morning and evening. And you can take advantage of Nyoka’s spa just steps away! Loved out stay and will definitely return!

Perfect Weekend Getaway

We loved staying at the cottage next door!! It was very welcoming, super clean and well-appointed with every amenity you could need. The location was perfect, short walk to many restaurants and shops. Also close to the bay front marina. The communication with Nyoka (the owner) was excellent before, during and after our stay. We definitely plan on returning and I look forward to visiting her spa which is right next door.

Charming cottage with everything we needed!

We loved our stay at The Cottage Next Door! The location is perfect, on a quiet street close to everything going on downtown and to the bay and Selby Gardens. The cottage was impeccably clean and tastefully renovated/modernized with great HVAC, comfy beds and everything you could need. The induction burner was easy to use if you want to cook, but we also enjoyed sampling the many restaurants within a few blocks walk. The house was filled with thoughtful extras like filtered water, fresh ice, Kleenex and toiletries, different kinds of coffee and tea and other touches that made our stay even more comfortable. We will definitely stay at the cottage again when we return to Sarasota!
