Verlaine was a great host and her property was exactly like the pictures. She has my kind of taste and the apartment had everything you would need and more! She must be an interior designer as everything was so well put together and just so quaint! The neighborhood is very quiet and easy to navigate around. Siesta Key is a 15 minute drive from her property. Her green thumb is quite impressive as well! So many beautiful plantings and flowers. We will be back!

Verlaines place was fabulous. I don’t think I have stayed at a cleaner and more comfy place. Lots of attention to detail and nice comfy towels and bed. I was there for work so didn’t use alot of the facilities but loved the beautiful landscaping . Would highly recommend this place .

I felt like the property had a little of everything. Nice private hot tub. Full kitchen to cook. Laundry to make your travels easier. Beautiful garden with creek access. Bathroom big enough for two to get ready. Everything you need out of a small space to enjoy a vacation. Very welcoming and homey feel to it.

This is a lovely unit. Clean and comfortable and nicely decorated. The hosts were friendly and available. We didn't get a chance to use the hot tub; but maybe we will the next time we go to Sarasota, because we would be happy to stay here again. Very close to Pinecraft and the Amish restaurants in Sarasota. We didn't cook while we were there but the appliances were up to date and the laundry is right off the bedroom. Much nicer than a motel.

While the space was adorable and clean it was not what we were expecting. The apartment is attached to a private home and the hot tub, which we were looking forward to, is part of the private home in an attached sunroom. You can see directly into the owner's home. At the time we arrived, the owner was having a party, making use of the hot tub impossible unless we chose to use it while strangers were able to view us. Because of the get together at the home, we were also not able to park in the designated parking space provided. In the end, we ended up having to find someplace else to stay and requested a full refund.

Cozy, fully equipped and absolutely gorgeous flower garden

My 3 kids and I loved it. Had everything we needed. Host was very sweet and attentive. The walkway is absolutely beautiful. Lots of little lizards that I also enjoyed watching while drinking my coffee. Very convenient to our favorite beach(Siesta Key). Will definitely be back and recommend to friends.

About the host

Hosted by Verlaine

Host profile image
My family & I are born and raised in Sarasota, Fl. I love Sarasota. It’s a beautiful city and has so many things to do. I love gardening and camping.
We enjoy hosting because we love an opportunity to share our wonderful city. Beaches are gorgeous with white sand. Ringling Arts Museum & Selby Botanical Gardens are a must see as well.
Unfortunately, it has become an expensive place to live. So hosting gives us an option to reduce cost of living. We’ve worked in home repair and remodeling for many years. So we like to keep our place looking top notch.
So come visit a perfect vacation hide away.

Why they chose this property

We love SouthGate Community because it is centrally located in Sarasota. Phillippi Creek runs behind our home which makes a nice view. The neighborhood is quite and very safe. We’ve lived in SouthGate since 1988.

What makes this property unique

Guest who stay with us always comments on how great the unit is for their visit. Our kitchen is well equipped for all types of cooking plus new refrigerator ice maker which has door water/ice dispenser. Love the use of beach chairs, umbrella, etc., and it’s super clean and comfortable. Many mention the outdoors being beautiful and relaxing. ( some damage to garden from hurricanes in 2025, but still nice). We are in a very safe quite neighborhood. We have e-bikes and manual bike for small fee.
