It's a gem facing Sarasota's bay front — elegant and charming, yet comfortable and down-to-earth.
The home faces Gulfstream Avenue, with rocking chairs, seating groups, even a bocce court so guests may do as they please as they watch the sailboats glide by — and those spectacular Sarasota sunsets.
Hosts Vicki, Nina, and Robert are known for their pleasant conversation, knowledge about the area, spectacular, scrumptious breakfasts, and late afternoon cocktails and hors d'oeuvres.
The home is beautifully furnished with American and European antiques. Nina is an expert in anthropology and can give you detailed information about every vintage piece at the inn. Vicki is warm and vivacious, a former teacher, and puts all visitors at ease. Robert is the artist of the group, and his artwork and photography grace the walls of the inn. They are all expert cooks and will often whip up recipes made with ingredients from Vicki's herb garden or the fruit trees on their shaded property.
The Cypress is just a few blocks from the heart of downtown — restaurants, theaters, and the Sarasota Opera House and a several-minute drive from St. Armands Circle, Lido Beach, the Ringling Museum of Art, G Wiz museum, the Asolo Repertory Theatre, and more.
I always recommend The Cypress to my out-of-town guests who want more than a hotel when they visit.
Check out the website for more information, photos, phone numbers, etc.
Let me know if you or a friend visits!
