The cottage was a perfect retreat while visiting family in Sarasota. Highlights were nights of sound sleep, walking to the beach with coffee in the morning (even in the rain), outdoor showers and meeting our delightful hosts. While we didn't prepare any meals in the efficient little kitchen, we certainly could have, as it was well stocked with full sized appliances, pots, pans, and utensils (there is also a grill). The decor was simple and beachy (in a good way), towels and linens were of good quality, and the space was immaculately clean. All the necessities for a day at the beach were provided, too. We can't wait to go back!
