Amazing!!
Such a well-curated cottage. Loved everything about it- decor, organization, cleanliness- just wonderful.I’d probably be hesitant to stay if I had little ones because Bee Ridge is a 4 lane street. Though the street is noisy with cars that house was whisper quiet!My husband and 2 teenagers stayed here for a wedding weekend and I’d love to return!

Perfect spring break stay from NE Ohio!
We loved our stay at Beekeeper’s Cottage for our spring break from Ohio. The cottage was immaculate and provided everything we needed for a relaxing stay. We enjoyed watching the surrounding wildlife and the big open view of the pond. The owners next door were incredibly friendly and helpful with restaurant and sightseeing recommendations!

Peaceful & relaxing
We rented the cottage for family that were in for a graduation celebration. The location was perfect and the accommodations are exactly as pictured. The guests found the cottage to be charming and very peaceful. We would rent again.

A Perfect Stay
I’m not even sure how to begin to describe this wonderful place. This is an exceptional rental. It was perfect for our trip visiting family in Florida. The cottage was so thoughtfully designed; we constantly said to each other: “They really thought of everything.” It has a brand-new feeling, seemed professionally decorated and furnished, and was a comfortable, luxurious, fun place to stay. We especially loved the screened porch (with table and chairs), overlooking a pond, but we made full use of a nicely stocked kitchen, washer and dryer, beautiful bathrooms and linens, TVs, and more. SO much better than a hotel! We’ll definitely stay here again when in Sarasota.

Perfect winter getaway
Spent four wonderful nights in this immaculate cottage accurately depicted in photos. Stay was enhanced by well-equipped modern kitchen, sophisticated decor and luxury baths. Especially enjoyed viewing abundant wildlife from patio and screened porch and meeting Mitch, the shi tzu who lives next door with the friendly and genial owner. Check in and out was seamless and property manager was very responsive and helpful with restaurant and birding suggestions. Look forward to returning.
