Perfect Oasis
The home was clean. Comfortable, inviting decor. The home is equipped with everything you need for a wonderful, relaxing stay. The Back Yard is AMAZING. Such a peaceful space to bring a book, play your music (quietly it is a neighborhood) and just enjoy the FL sun or shade, the back yard provides both. The host was wonderful. I hope to stay again soon!

Comfy, Cozy Cottage
What a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the surroundings of nature. A hidden gem so close to all the amenities Sarasota has to offer. The cottage was pristine clean, so inviting and had everything we needed for our 4-day stay. The backyard is a sanctuary with the bayou, the large deck, pretty landscape and fire pit. Geoffrey and his fiance, Elissa were gracious hosts and we will keep in touch the next time we are in the area. A truly great experience! Loved IT!!!!!
