Come live the simple life:
Not quite two miles from the Best Beach in the World, this lovely little home boasts an open floor plan with kitchen and dining area combined with a family room for easy and spacious living.
The 1140 square foot living space was built in 1963 in one of Sarasota's most convenient neighborhoods, Gulf Gate. The master bedroom features a queen size bed, dual night stands, dresser and Smart TV. The second bedroom offers one twin and one full bed. A shared bath features a frolicking beach theme with a tub/shower combo. The second bathroom offers a stall shower and new washer and dryer. A new dishwasher, coffee maker, waffle maker and stainless kettle round out the well appointed kitchen.
The paver patio out back is framed with Areca and Adonidia palms and offers time in the sun or tend to your BBQ on the gas grill. Dine out on the patio table and enjoy the breezes through the privacy palms.
A single car port provides shelter for your vehicle.
Walk or enjoy the beach cruisers into the Gulf Gate area restaurants, bars and shops, and continue on another easy mile to Siesta Key over the South Bridge. A quiet, tucked away residential neighborhood that is amazingly close to the best that Sarasota has to offer. Discounts available for 30 day plus bookings.
This home is set up exclusively for VRBO. You will not be tangling yourself up in any one else's possessions. We've all been there, and it can be a little weird. The Half Moon House is a simple solution to your Sarasota holiday needs and operated with your comfort and convenience as our first priority.
Please note!!! If you would like to reserve the Half Moon House for longer than 4 weeks, please send us an inquiry first. VRBO does not allow for a maximum booking feature, but we need to communicate with you prior to booking extended stays. Thank you!!!
While our home is clean, convenient and safe, please not that it is an older home. We always price fairly to reflect. Please see our nearly perfect five star reviews!

Why they chose this property
This neighborhood will let you fit right in with the locals. Easy drive or bike ride to Siesta Key. Close enough to the coast to enjoy those gentle sea breezes. Local shops, quaint bistros and pubs, a top rate Publix just down the street and favorite chain restaurants from Ruth's Chris to Long Horn to Mellow Mushroom Pizza. Close to all the best at a great price.
