Everything you need!
This place felt like home away from home! It was a nice touch to have water bottles in the fridge for us. There are beach towels, beach chairs, beach toys you can use if you plan to spend the day at the beach. It has a decent size kitchenette to cook. Truly, if you decide to stay here you won’t regret it - it’s cozy and SO CLOSE to everything.

Water bottles in the fridge! Ever since my first VRBO experience where the host had several water bottles waiting in the fridge for us, it is the first thing I look for, and this host also provided! It was a nice place. Had everything we needed and more. My wife is particular about cleanliness and we had no issues - as it should be. The bathroom was represented in the pictures, ans it was quite small. It worked for us.

This property was perfect for me. I love to walk, and it was just a few blocks through beautiful neighborhood to reach the bay. It was a perfect spot for one or perhaps two people. Only a few minutes drive from the airport. Great experience!

Cozy cottage
My wife and I were looking to see a different part of Sarasota than just the beaches. We had hoped to find a nice, comfortable neighborhood… and that’s exactly what we got! Our hosts were so pleasant and welcoming. The house was cozy and had all the amenities that we wanted. It was close enough to get to any beaches that we wanted to see and very close to downtown Sarasota! But the neighborhood was so lovely, that we spent one morning just walking around and enjoying it. We found a cute trail to the bay that was completely covered by a natural canopy and even befriended a local peacock. What a lovely visit!! We will undoubtedly be back!!

Quiet Neighborhood
This is a small older apartment, in an older neighborhood of Sarasota. There was a nice little outdoor area in which to sit and chat. Our biggest problem was that it was Thanksgiving weekend. I came down to Sarasota, from Atlanta, specifically to have a Thanksgiving meal with my 95-year-old Dad who lives there. I ordered the entire meal from Publix, and picked this apt. because it had a stove with oven. Well, before I arrived, I asked the owner if he could please move the TV out of the bedroom, so we could watch the games in the livingroom. I got no reply. And when I went to put the turkey in the oven to heat it up, the pilot light would not stay lit. My husband and I worked on it at length, but no luck. We had to cook the meal at my dad's apartment, nd transport it to our place....lot's of fun. The kitchen needs a little TLC, ie. a second kitchen towel at least, salt, more trash bags. The bathroom sink was stopped up. On the plus side, the bedroom AC/Heater was very quiet and efficient. The neighborhood was very quiet. It had a peaceful charming outdoor area; a perfect place for two people who need to rest...like we did. Just not the place for Thanksgiving dinner.

Great little apartment
This was a great apartment for visiting family and friends in the Sarasota area. Is In North Sarasota, bayside, which was great for my stay. Loved walking to the bay at sunset. It was a great size for one person - small bedroom and small living room/kitchen, but had everything I needed. Would definitely stay here again when I come back to Sarasota.

The location was great and we really enjoyed the neighborhood. I loved the patio/yard and enjoyed my morning coffee out there. The rental is small but efficient. It could benefit from a small dresser but we made it work. Lots of hooks helped. Take advantage of the free Mondays at The Ringling Museum.

Best vacation ever!
My husband and I will celebrate our 18th wedding anniversary this year. This was the first time in those 18 years that we've ever been able to get away and totally relax for three weeks in a row. The hosts were awesome, providing just the right amount of contact and support. They had great ideas on places to go and things to do if/when we asked - while also giving us plenty of privacy to do our own thing. Even though the property was attached to the hosts' home, it felt like we were always in our own separate space. The property was cute, clean, had an awesome patio, and more than enough closet and pantry space for three weeks of living...we felt incredibly comfortable and welcomed. In short, we can't say enough good things about our hosts or the experience! A note to those who stay there... Everyone goes to the same spot to watch the sunset. Don't go there. Instead, go out to the road in front of the property and head left - then take another left at the corner. Walk a couple of blocks, find the path, and walk to the end. That's where the real sunset is :)
