Cypress - A B&B Inn

Sarasota, Florida.

Situated on historic grounds overlooking Sarasota Bay, The Cypress offers a unique lodging experience. This tropical oasis reflects the tone and demeanor of a bygone era, attracting the distant traveler, as well as those seeking a romantic getaway.

Bed and Breakfast Description

Morning begins with a breakfast consisting of fresh-squeezed juice, daily-baked muffins, a fruit assortment, and a gourmet entree - all served in the café overlooking the majestic sail-clad bay. After breakfast, the front porch offers an inviting setting. Glance through the morning paper, delve into that neglected novel, or just relax and enjoy the view.

Take a stroll across the street to the Bayfront Park or, perhaps, Selby Botanical Gardens, one block south. Walk up Palm Avenue and enter the historic arts and theatre district. Browse through art galleries, antique stores, and curiosity shops. Catch a performance at Florida Studio Theatre , Theatre Works, The Players, The Golden Apple Dinner Theatre , or The Sarasota Opera House.

From the grandeur of the "Martha Rose" Master Suite, with its balcony view of the Gulf of Mexico and surrounding keys, to the tropical charm and privacy of the "Essie Leigh" Room, all five individually-styled sleeping quarters enchant and captivate.
