Thank you for taking the time to briefly share your experience. I’m so pleased the studio felt clean, comfortable, and perfectly situated for exploring all that Sarasota has to offer. Many guests appreciate the neighborhood’s no‑fly‑zone location that keeps things pleasantly quiet and the ease of private parking just steps from the entrance. It would be my pleasure to welcome you back whenever your travels bring you this way again.
This is a great place to stay. The unit was impeccably clean and well appointed. Leah was very responsive and helpful. The kitchen is small, so if you are looking to cook you'll want to be aware of that. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was great! Parking is easy.

Thank you Joyce, so glad you enjoyed your stay! Yes, the studio has a kitchenette, not a full size kitchen as shown in the listing. There is also a grilling and prep area on the guest's patio.
Siesta Studio was exactly what we needed. Perfect location for Sarasota and surrounding areas especially the beaches. Studio is adorable and the private patio is so beautiful and peaceful. Check out/in and communication with the host was extremely easy. 10/10 recommend

What a gem! Everything was as shown in photos and description. Perfect spot for 2. Lots of great recommendations from the host.
The guest book was very helpful! Our host was very responsive. This was the best VRBO experience we have had. We wish it could have been a longer visit and were able to enjoy the outdoor patio and amenities! Thanks Leah!

Thank you Kim & Jim, it was truly a pleasure hosting you.
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Siesta Studio! Perfect accommodations for single and couples. Cleanliness was top notch! It was very comfortable, quiet neighborhood and safe. The studio had plenty of amenities to ensure you could stay in, explore the beaches or just the surrounding areas with recommendations. I would definitely return for another stay. And I took home some cute decorating ideas to try : )

Thank you for sharing such a gracious and thoughtful review. It brings me immense joy to know that The Siesta Studio offered the comfort, serenity, and refined touches you were hoping for. I’m delighted the space felt impeccably clean, well‑appointed, and perfectly suited for both quiet retreat and coastal adventure.
Hearing that the neighborhood provided a sense of peace and safety—and that the studio’s amenities and recommendations enriched your stay—means so much. And I absolutely love that you left with a few décor ideas to bring home; that’s the highest compliment.
You were a truly wonderful guest, and it would be an honor to welcome you back whenever your travels bring you this way again.
Warmest regards,
Leah

I love to travel and stay at short term vacation rentals. As a solo traveler, I find it to be safer and much more relaxing and homey on my vacations. I love hosting and offering my guests a very clean and accomadating stay. I provide everything that I look for when I travel and enjoy giving that hospitality to my guests.
Why they chose this property
I feel in love with the neighborhood when I was a young. I would drive through the neighborhood and say one day I will own a home here. Whitfield estates is cnetral to everything Sarasota & Manatee county have to offer.
