About Coastal Hideaway

After a recent comprehensive revamp of the guesthouse, we are excited to present Coastal Hideaway. Every inch of this space was thoughtfully and lovingly updated to demonstrate the unique experience of enjoying a private, almost "country" outdoor setting while simultaneously enjoying an indoor coastal setting that speaks to what Sarasota is most famous for: her beaches.

This amazing 2/1 guest house rests at the backend of our 1-acre property. While my husband and I live in the main house at the front of our property, guests will have private and exclusive access to the guest house on the second floor of our ADU (accessory dwelling unit). The first floor of the ADU is a garage and is used to park 1 of our vehicles; the garage door may be heard in the guest house occasionally from the space as it is opened and closed.

The keyless entry lock allows for self-check in and opens to a very open floor plan where the full kitchen and the ample living area is immediately displayed. Each bedroom is spacious and includes king-sized beds, brand new Helix mattresses, a full length mirror, a 5-drawer dresser, and open-concept closets with rods (not shown in pictures) to hang clothing. The bathroom hosts a new walk-in shower and 80 inch double sink vanity.

The space is 900 square feet and comfortably sleeps 4 adults; however, the couch is modular and could be arranged to would allow for 1-2 more adults or children for additional sleeping.

All water provided in the space is from our well and the central heating and cooling is controlled via thermostat in the guesthouse for guests to control for their own liking throughout their stay.

The TV is an Amazon Fire TV and includes subscriptions to Youtube TV (for local channels), Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime. WiFi is high speed at 229 mbps. Additionally, we do not use cameras or any monitoring devices of any kind so our guests have complete privacy throughout their stay.

Beach amenities include: 4 beach chairs, 6 beach towels, a beach umbrella and a cooler bag.

The guest house is within a 5 minute drive to the UTC Mall/surrounding area, Nathan Benderson Park, the future home of the new Mote Marine location, and I-75. Siesta Key Beach is approximately a 40 minute drive away and Lido Key Beach is approximately a 30 minute drive away (depending on traffic and time of day).

Other Things to Note:

We also have a friendly boxer who lives with us at the main house. She will be kept separate from the guesthouse and that surrounding area, but guests may see her out and about at our main house.

**If you bring pets, please keep them inside with you overnight and do not allow them to run loose/unsupervised due to potential wildlife.**

Our neighbors have chickens and a rooster can be heard distantly crowing throughout the day; this just adds to the country charm of the space :)

Reviews

"We absolutely loved our time at this property! The decor and overall vibe were so thoughtfully done--it felt stylish, cozy, and welcoming from the moment we walked in. The host was incredibly responsive and kind, making everything super smooth from check-in to check-out. The outdoor fire pit was such a great bonus--we spent a couple evenings out there just relaxing. The location couldn't have been better--just 5 minutes from UTC, with everything needed close by. The house was fully stocked with all the amenities you could ask for--kitchen essentials, comfy linens, toiletries, and more. You can tell the host really put care into making sure guests feel right at home. Highly recommend this place and would definitely stay again!"
