About this cottage rental
The Bikini Top Cottage sweet spot for couples. Tiny Home in a Cozy Island village. The bungalow is on an alley way that leads directly to the kayak, boat launch, and restaurants. Walk down to view the sunrise coffee in hand with the Sailboat moorings and end your day at The Mar Vista restaurant. Make sure you walk out on the dock and look in the water around the sunken lights.
Across from The Village is the white sandy beach. Meander down the boardwalk and the beach opens up for miles of tranquil shoreline. The tip of the island feels more like you've discovered your own private island. With old trees laying in the water and no structures in site you can float out on the turquoise sandbar. Good spot to catch fish. Watch manatees and dolphins swim and dream of what this place was like before condos.
The cottages have an old time charm. Built in the 30's as apart of The Whitney Estate. After a hurricane washed away the main home the cottages where relocated for safer ground. Sturdy little 440 sq. ft. Homes. Handmade stone veneer clad the outside of the structure. Inside you will find a comfortable living space. One Queen size bed in the bedroom and Queen size fold out coach in main living room. Internet cable of course. Nice porch with shaded pergola and tropical landscaping. Cool evenings are perfect for starting a fire in the outdoor fireplace sitting back and relaxing in the comfortable patio furniture.
Once you're here you don't need to go very far to fill the day with a genuine Florida adventure. All you really need to do is allow the nature to come to you.
If you're into kayaking or paddle boarding this is a perfect launch pad. With in seconds on the water you will be surrounded by an array of activity. This is the destination boats come. Tropical clear sandbars are located at the mouth of the longboat pass. Boaters love this spot to spend the day floating in the currents along the shore. In the Sarasota flats there are a string of islands called the sister keys. Sandbars sea grass and secret Channels hold tons of life. Summer time is known for tarpon fishing also known as the silver king as they migrate up the coast.

This was our second stay at this cottage. It is so tranquil but close to everything you want on a vacation. It's just a short drive to the beach and great restaurants. The owner was so kind to let us use the kayaks and even delivered them to our door when we asked about them. The outdoor living space is absolutely perfect! The addition of a small window A/C kept the cottage cool and comfortable even when the temps outside reached over 100 degrees. We definitely recommend and look forward to visiting this little oasis again soon.

This location is great - close to bays, beaches, sandbars, restaurants, shelling, fishing, kayaking, biking, sailing, and wildlife.

We stayed at Josh’s place for 10 days. This part of LBK is very quiet and peaceful. The bay is at the end of the lane and we loved strolling down to enjoy the view. The place itself was perfect for the two of us. The best part is the large private patio with fireplace which we used frequently in the January chill. We loved going down the street for a cocktail at Whitney’s and the Marvista is also nearby with great food. We highly recommend Josh’s place—it is just like the pics, was spotless, and communications with Josh were great. We’d love to stay again

This was our second time staying in the village, but our first time at BTC. The cottage is adorable and you can’t have a more wonderful location with the short walks to the beach, bay, Mar Vista, Whitney’s, Sips, etc. The outdoor seating area is beautiful and cozy. We would love to stay at Josh’s again in the future.
