Ideal location

Sand Dollar Cottage is conveniently located close to Siesta Key and within easy walking distance of Sarasota Pavilion mall and numerous bars and restaurants. The open plan living room is light and airy with a sit down dining area and well-equipped kitchen. The highlight of the property is the pool. The Cottage is clean and has everything you need for a relaxing break.Steve is a great host and was very flexible when I had to make changes to my booking. Highly recommended.
