2 Bedroom House in Ridge Wood Heights, Sarasota

Welcome to Cosentino Homestead! Settle into this serene, natural paradise in the middle of a bustling city. Nowhere else will you find this level of tranquility hidden away in suburban Sarasota, just minutes from the city's beaches, attractions, restaurants and stores. The property is 10 minutes from Siesta Key beach and downtown, and just a few blocks from the nearest stores.
The newly remodeled guesthouse was built on Siesta Key in 1948 and moved by my father to its present location in the early 70s. Its permanent resting place is this beautiful homestead, nestled among age-old oaks, pine trees and lush Florida vegetation. This ecologically sound, nature-lover's paradise is also host to an organic garden and orchard, hens (farm-fresh eggs, anyone?), a lake and a small creek. The property, which is mostly wooded, is fenced in and gated for maximum privacy and security. Guests are free to roam, meditate and enjoy this unofficial natural reserve!
The house is cozy yet spacious and boasts a wonderful mix of antiques and all the modern conveniences. There is a sunroom, a fireplace (decorative only) and a huge screened-in porch with a comfy hammock. The bedroom and living room floors are the original hardwood. Behind the house, there is a deck and a small pond surrounded by lush vegetation. Guests fall in love with this warm, charming cottage and its magical setting and are pleased with the well stocked, modern kitchen and other amenities.
There is a queen-size bed in one bedroom, a full in the other and a futon in the living room. The bathroom is comfortable, adequate and newly updated, but not large. Washer and dryer are full size. There is a smart TV and a DVD player. There is a carport (one car).
IMPORTANT SALES TAX INFORMATION: You are required to pay the Hotel and Resort Tax, which is 12% (7% for Florida and 5% for Sarasota County). Florida law states that this must be clearly stated and not included in the rental price.
Guests are free to roam the property, but please respect the privacy of the main house. The property is fenced in, but the lake, creek and pond are NOT enclosed.
Unless I'm with clients at my studio, I am usually available for questions. You will often find me tending to my gardens and property and are welcome to come chat!

Summary: Very cool place to stay. The wife and I found it very relaxing and comfortable. The only issue was we did not get to stay longer because of our schedules but we will be back.
Andrew W. Apr 10, 2024 02:17:06 PM
Summary: A gem of a cottage surrounded by natural beauty, peace, and quiet. Location wise it’s so convenient for accessing the main sites in Sarasota, but when you arrive back at the cottage you’d think you were way out in the wilderness. The cottage was well appointed for our brief stay, and had plenty of spaces to just relax inside and out. Kat the owner was a welcoming host, with good communication throughout our stay. We enjoyed the stay here so much, and look forward to staying here again when back in the Sarasota area.

Summary: We loved our stay at Kat’s homestead in Sarasota. Words cannot describe! The house is gracious and charming, homey and utterly comfortable. The feeling of being in the woods in a private verdant oasis was just wonderful. Kat is a warm and attentive host, always available to answer questions and delightful to talk to. We can’t wait to come back!
Dennis J. Mar 25, 2023 08:08:56 PM
Summary: Secluded, one of a kind property, safe, clean and a ultimate host that makes it her top priority to accommodate our every need. Awesome experience!!
Jane L. Jan 27, 2023 10:10:03 AM
Summary: Very charming and well- appointed cottage in a 6 acre nature park in South Sarasota.
Peter V. Jan 6, 2023 06:38:11 AM
Summary: Great location in a beautiful tropical setting. Spacious two bedroom cottage with a relaxing porch. Kitchen was great to cook in. Lots of hot water, good water pressure. Excellent heat and A/C - we used both due to the variation in the weather. Kat was a great host who gave us a lovely tour of her property, her hen house, gardens and even a tree-ripened papaya to enjoy. Would highly recommend.
Brent F. Jun 14, 2022 09:51:53 AM
Summary: The property is gorgeous and secluded but still convenient to everything. The host was welcoming and very helpful throughout the visit. Location is maybe 10 -15 minutes from Siesta Key and downtown Sarasota shopping. We definitely plant to stay here again the next time we are in town.
Ethan M. Apr 2, 2022 10:05:40 PM
Summary: This was my family’s first official spring break trip. We wanted to hit all the local hot spots and must-visit beaches. But we also wanted some downtime away from the hustle and bustle of the crowds that come with visiting Florida in late March. This was the place to be. To unwind, relax, and reset after fun-filled, sun-drenched days at the beaches. Kat was an excellent host. Even though it’s a guesthouse on a shared property, you’ve basically got the place and property to yourself. She’s as hands-on or as hands-off as you want her to be. Super attentive—and warm and welcoming as can be. Fresh eggs upon arrival? Check. Fresh berries during your stay? Check. And wildlife aplenty.
Inez R. Apr 1, 2022 02:18:47 AM
Summary: We were looking for a little R&R, we wanted to be around nature but close to nightlife for dinner and music. We got everything and more. Thanks, Kat for being such a great hostess. All the recommendations were great and we really enjoyed learning about your beautiful property.
Roberta O. Nov 21, 2021 02:02:13 AM
Summary: This place is truly "Old Florida". You feel like you are actually in a botanical garden! The house is charming with comfortable beds, an updated bathroom and kitchen that makes this a top of the list for outstanding places to stay. It also has a large screened in porch and sunroom; so many spaces to enjoy in the home alone! It is close to everything, yet away from the fray. Kat is a welcoming, cordial host that is readily available if you need her. You can't go wrong with this one - it's a winner!
