The winter crowds have gone home and we are enjoying the beaches, restaurants, theater and shops to ourselves. www.sarasotafl.org and www.sarasotaarts.org are great websites to see what’s happening. Join us at The Cypress to spend the night…Main St. and the bayfront, just a stroll away! www.cypressbb.com

Remembering Nelson our beloved cat!

vicki — Tue, 11 Dec 2012 15:26:20 +0000

It is with wonderful memories that we are sharing with you that Nelson has passed away at 18 years old. He was such a treasure to us and many of you that have stayed with us at the inn. Whether he was snuggled into a wicker chair on the deck or curled up under a bird of paradise plant in the garden or posing like a spynx, Nelson could be found relaxing at his home, The Cypress. We recognize that he was a surrogate pet for animal lovers while vacationing here and we thank you for the love you bestowed on him. Nelson appreciated every rub under the neck that you gave him! We miss him dearly and he remains in our hearts.

Food Network Star – Crazy Susan visits The Cypress

vicki — Mon, 08 Aug 2011 18:44:08 +0000

Susan and Barry Adair, owners of Crazy Susan’s Cookie Company in Ocean City, NJ, visited The Cypress in January with friends Patti and Ron Smith. Susan, Vicki, Patti, and Barry grew up together in West Berlin, NJ. The Food Network is now airing a weekly show “Tough Cookies”, featuring Susan and her family at their Jersey shore establishment. While vacationing at The Cypress, Susan treated the other guests by baking a batch of her famous cookies for everyone to enjoy.

Check out Tough Cookies: Food Network 6:00 pm, Sunday nights.

This summer, the only things more popular than the beach in Ocean City, N. J., are the cookies at Crazy Susan’s. Run by a loving, squabbling and cacophonous multigenerational family, Crazy Susan’s never knows a dull moment. Sisters Susan and Linda try to keep everything running smoothly — but with lines out the door, phones that never stop ringing and family members who seem to create more problems than solutions, they’ll need to work their tails off to keep those cookies from crumbling.
