Adorable little studio/bungalow

This was a perfect location close to everything I wanted and needed. The host was exceedingly accommodating and I thoroughly enjoyed my time. The space is quite small so unless you are very close with your fellow traveler or only need a place to sleep - this place is perfect!

Sarasota in Spring

Visiting family in Sarasota, this was the perfect get away! 7 days in this studio apartment with private entrance only 10 minutes from my sisters! Gracious host and serene setting. A quiet place to relax and regroup for the next daily adventure! Walks to the Bay in this beautiful neighborhood was reminiscent of old Florida. Looking forward to another stay!

Just Perfect

The location is VERY convenient to museums, gardens, downtown, bay, etc. It is easy to get to anyplace you need to go.The Studio itself is charming and contains more amenities than I could have expected. Everything was arranged logically and thoughtfully. Everything worked.I couldn't have asked for better and will try to stay here again if I return to the area.

About the host

Hosted by Susan Desmond

Host profile image
My name is Suzi and I am a retired New England transplant who loves to paint and garden. The arts scene and beaches are the main reasons for choosing Sarasota in my golden years.
The property is such a great location just a few blocks to the bay (Indian Beach Park) where you can launch kayaks or just sit and enjoy the views and sunsets. There are such gorgeous/peaceful surroundings as well as the cultural and entertainment highlights needed for a great vacation! Also just steps away is Jungle Gardens and Smugglers Cove mini golf for some real Florida wildlife entertainment. The closest beach is Lido Key about a 10 minute drive and famous shopping and dining at St. Armands Circle. A little longer drive takes you to UTC shopping and dining with every store and restaurant you could imagine and the new PopStroke mini golf has been a hit!

Why they chose this property

Indian Beach/Sapphire Shores has the rich cultural scene and steps from the bay and beautiful sunsets.

What makes this property unique

The property is larger than most in the area at 1 1/2 lots which makes the outdoor space plentiful with lots of room to spread out. The main house where I live has an enclosed fence and gardens. The street is virtually a dead end with a roundabout making it extra quiet for being so close to commercial necessities. The studio has a private entrance to come and go with parking. It does not have a kitchen/stove so if you like to cook this is not ideal but if you like take out the fridge and microwave will be great for leftovers and easy dining. This space is really best for 1 person traveling for business or an extended stay (which we have had before and happy to accommodate), but two can fit as well.
