Bright Kitchen · Pets Welcome · Near Siesta Key

Bring the dog and the beach bag. This quiet, pet-friendly cottage is 12–15 minutes from Siesta Key Beach, and the chairs, umbrellas, towels, wagon and cooler are already here. Cook in the bright, modern kitchen, run a load in the in-unit washer and dryer, and settle into a peaceful street just a minute from Bee Ridge Rd`s shops and Publix. Sleeps 4 comfortably with a queen room and a bunk room, plus a private driveway and keypad entry.

The space:
It looks small from the street, but the open layout feels roomy and bright. The kitchen has quartz counters, stainless appliances, a dishwasher and a coffee station. The queen bedroom has room-darkening shades. The bunk room has a desk and a door you can close for work calls. Out back is a private yard (not fully fenced) with outdoor seating.

Guest access:
The whole cottage is yours, with a private driveway and keypad self check-in.

Other things to note:
Pets are welcome. The yard isn`t fully fenced, so keep dogs leashed outside. There`s one exterior camera covering the front door and driveway, and there are none inside. The neighbors are friendly and love our guests.
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. 🙌
