Near Siesta Key | Quiet, Family-Friendly, 3 Beds
Relax with the whole family or as a couple getaway at this peaceful, quiet home. Located just a short 12-15 minute drive from Siesta Key Beach, one of the most popular beaches in the world, along with excellent shopping and groceries only a few minutes away.
Use our cozy place as a home base for all the best Sarasota has to offer on your trip.
Recently updated, quiet cottage looks so small from the street, but the layout makes the living areas feel spacious and inviting.
The street is so quiet but literally one minute from the very busy Bee Ridge road that takes you to the beach and multiple stores.
You can walk to a grocery store very close, but would recommend having a car or using Uber. Welcome to Bell Cottage; your beachy home-away-from-home in sunny Sarasota! We’re so glad you’re here. This space was designed for easy living, chill mornings, and sunset walks with sandy toes. To help keep the good vibes going, we ask that you follow a few simple house rules.
✅ What to Expect • A bright, well-lit space with warm coastal charm • Quiet, peaceful neighborhood with friendly neighbors • Beach gear to make your days in the sun even better • A fire pit for evening hangouts and cozy conversations
🙏 Please Respect These House Rules 1. Check-in & Check-out Check-in is after 4:00 PM Check-out is by 10:00 AM Let us know if you need extra time, we’ll do our best to accommodate!
2. Quiet Hours 10:00 PM to 8:00 AM Bell Cottage is on a very quiet, sleepy street. Out of respect for our neighbors (who we love and who kindly keep an eye on the place), please keep noise to a minimum, especially if you’re outside or around the fire pit at night.
3. No Parties or Events We’re all for a good time, but this isn’t a party house. No large gatherings or events allowed ($1000 fine). If something’s happening that feels off, our neighbors are just a text away… and they’ll let us know.
4. Smoking & Vaping Strictly no smoking or vaping inside the house. If you need to smoke, please step well away from doors and windows and dispose of anything safely.
5. Pets We do allow pets with a deposit!
6. Fire Pit Use Feel free to enjoy the fire pit, just be safe and smart: • Never leave it unattended • Fully extinguish when done • Only use it in clear weather and with provided fire-safe materials • No bonfires or high flames
7. Beach Gear You’ll find beach chairs, towels, a cooler, and a wagon available to use. Please rinse off any sand before bringing things back inside, and return everything in good condition for the next guest.
8. Clean as You Go • Rinse off beach gear and outdoor items • Load or start the dishwasher • Take trash to the outdoor bin and please take the bin out Tuesday Evening for Wednesday Garbage Day. No need for deep cleaning, just a little tidy-up goes a long way.
9. Lock Up When You Leave Please lock all doors when you head out or check out — it keeps your belongings (and our cottage) safe and secure.
10. If Something Goes Wrong... Accidents happen! If you break something or something stops working, just let us know right away. We’ll get it taken care of, no judgment here.
Thanks so much for treating Bell Cottage with care and kindness. We hope you make the most of your stay, soak in the sun, take your time, and enjoy the peace.
If you need anything at all, we’re just a message away. 🙌

Super cute place, communication was easy with the host. Great little street with more cute homes, felt like a good area. The inside of this cottage is the best, super clean and brand new. The only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is because of the bed, which is memory foam so it already has an indentation in it and it seems rather small, the pillows were not great. They do need a least one large cooking pot but I’m a Chef so take that with a grain of salt. I love the fact that they have a washer and dryer in the unit. It is close enough to everything. Lovely spot for a short stay.
