Well suited for a couples getaway!
This is a very quiet and relaxing space, and is set up well for a couple. Within three or four blocks of the cottage there are places you can walk to have a meal. Within a 20 minute drive is one of the nicest beaches we’ve ever seen. The location is about a half hour from Sarasota and about an hour from St. Petersburg. There are some lovely restaurants located Ana Maria Island about 20 minutes drive. The cottage itself is outfitted well, clean and we found everything we needed. It was comfortable and restful. This location is superb for birdwatching. You will see all kinds of waterfowl. It was like a continual parade of Heron, pelican, and other birds like frigatebirds. I highly recommend it!

Our favourite getaway!
A few years ago we found this listing and have found our perfect “getaway” retreat and have stayed many times since. It has now become a place where we share many memories with our daughter most recently Mother’s Day and a Birthday. The space is beautifully decorated with along with a beautiful gourmet kitchen that we love to prepare meals in. With waterfront views and a patio deck with plenty outdoor seating to relax and cook on a Weber grill we need not go anywhere although there is plenty to do being close to to Anna Marie Island and Longboat Key as well as Sarasota/Bradenton for plenty of activities. the owners are always helpful and friendly and make us feel right at home. Highly recommend!

As advertised & Better!
After initially arriving at address a block away, we were delighted to locate The Gray House behind it! In addition to all that the listing shows is included, there were lovely small touches such as spices, custom coffee mugs, fresh water on the pier, bug spray & zappers on the porch and lots more. Really made the place feel like home, and location was perfect. Discovered Swordfish Grill & Cortez Kitchen hidden around the (water) corner and easy to get to all the popular places nearby: Bridge Street, AMI, St Armand's, Jewfish Key sandbar, gulf sunsets and so much more. And the folks in the quaint historic neighborhood were very kind and new boater accommodating. A little tight when our 2 adult-age daughters showed up but we were there to enjoy the outdoors and we did. Thank you, every thumb up I/we have!
