    Great location!

    January 15, 2011

    I continue to return to the Cypress B&B for the past 10 years for a relaxing and fun stay in the Sarasota area. Innkeepers provide excellent service, food, and suggestions of things to do. The breakfasts and "happy hour" are fabulous.

    Perfect Old Florida Inn

    June 07, 2010

    If you are looking for a quiet, quaint, beautifully appointed Inn, this is the place for you. The sprawling front porch is nestled under the moss draped trees giving The Cypress the relaxing "Old Florida" atmosphere you may expect. The photos on the website accurately reflect the Inn, which is always a relief for me. The Cypress is close to the normal sightseeing attractions in Sarasota as well as walking distance fine dining and local fare in the historic area. Vicki, Nina & Robert are wonderful hosts and truly give you the feeling of an Inn where they are there to accomodate your every need. We can't wait to return! The Hilburns (May 2010)

    Lovely and Convenient

    November 19, 2009

    Stayed at The Cypress Inn Nov.14th and 15th 2009. The rooms are beautiful and the owners are wonderful hosts and cooks. Breakfast is a four course meal and at 6:00 in the evening drinks and gourmet snacks are served on their front porch. Very convenient location. A two block walk to many of the restaurants in downtown Sarasota.

    Our First Trip to Sarasota

    April 04, 2009

    My wife and I recently visited Sarasota, Florida and stayed at the Cypress Bed and Breakfast Inn. The inn is very charming, has a lot of character and our hosts were delightful and quite knowledgable about the surrounding area. The gourmet breakfast each morning was delicious and always a pleasant surprise. Each evening we enjoyed cocktails, homemade appetizers and stimulating conversation with our hosts and other guests at the B&B on the lovely deck overlooking Sarasota bay. We loved the Sarasota area for its wonderful restaurants, culture, and shopping. We plan to return to Sarasota and will definitely stay at the Cypress again.

    An exceptional experience

    March 30, 2009

    We've always been a little wary of B&B's, but our two nights here disabused us of this notion. Everything, EVERYTHING was perfect and the location is simply ideal. The delightful, knowledgeable and well-prepared hosts set a perfect tone, the breakfasts and early evening gatherings were yummy and spot on.
