This property is perfect all around. The location is perfect, close enough to walk to everything. Easy quick walk to the beach or the circle to eat or shop. Quiet area with few other people and little traffic. Quick response to any questions we had. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Would definitely stay here again!
Flamingo Cottage offers everything a Florida getaway has to offer. Gracious owners; a lovely, well appointed vintage beach house and a perfect quiet location for an stress-free vacation. We look forward to our return next year!
Wonderful quiet neighborhood property with very attentive property owners. Flamingo Cottage is ideally located for easy access to the beach as well as Shopping within walking distance. We look forward to our return next year!
The Cottage was well kept, clean and fully furnished. Deb and Ed are great hosts and made sure we had everything we needed and that everything was as promised. It is well within walking distance to St Armands as well as the Public Beach. We enjoyed our stay!
The Flamingo cottage is in a great location. Not directly on the water but only a 3 minute walk down the path. Deb and Ed have left the ambiance of a quaint cottage with all the upgrades to make it perfect.
Rented both their cottages. Steps from the beach and walking distance to bars/restaurants. Everyone in the family enjoyed the trip! Owners kept us up to date on all the repairs from the hurricanes and had the property in ready condition as promised.
Wife and I stayed in Flamingo for a month; love the neighborhood and area. Fortunately Lido hasn't gone high rise like surrounding key islands. Flamingo a very comfortable ranch style one story house exactly as advertised. Owners a delight to work with; any issue that came up they were right on it. Booked again for next year!
Our family enjoyed this cozy property which is near the beach as well as an easy walk to shops/restaurants. Ed & Deb helped us work around a family medical issue and were very responsive with any question/need. A+
My husband and I had a great time at the cottage with our son, DIL, and 13 mo old granddaughter for a week over Spring Break We appreciated the location that is a short walk to North Lido Beach and St. Armand's Circle. It is also close to a trolley that can take you to downtown Sarasota. Loading up the wagon and beach gear provided by the host, we hit the beach most days and returned for sunsets. The cottage was well-equipped with everythng we needed.
Everything about this place was perfect. Don’t know if it was just the time of year but we had the beach to ourselves all week practically. The home was perfect and super clean. Very well stocked for all our needs. Can’t say enough good things about our stay here! Love it!
Home is lovely and well cared for. EVERYTHING you may need is supplied: coffee, plenty of towels, beach chairs, umbrella, cart. Beach access is a mere 4 minute walk away. Deb is extremely accommodating, helpful and reachable even though it was over the Christmas/New Year holidays. Walk to restaurants is a breeze. As I said, the house is perfect.
