family holiday

We enjoyed our stay very much! It was the perfect home base for an area we love so much. Stephen was very communicative from the first day and on. I would definitely recommend staying at this beautiful property! Everything was exactly as described in listing!

Great Gulf Coast location

This condo is conveniently located in north Sarasota. It's close to almost everything you could want. Despite being just off University Parkway, it was quiet due to the large fountain in the central pond. Condo was comfortable and very well-equipped. Balcony overlooking the pond is a pleasant retreat. The host, Steve, was a pleasure to deal with. He was both proactive in his communications and very responsive when called upon. The only cautions about this condo are that it is on the third floor (up 40 steps - not steep - with 2 landings) and it does not have cable or satellite TV service. If you want live TV there is a limited selection or you have to be comfortable with streaming TV using the internet.

Short rental

Condo was clean and the only problem we had was the TV situation. Listed as three TVs but the one in the living room only worked with a fire stick which we had to purchase.

Perfekt

The apartment and the complex are super nice. Shops can be reached in 2 minutes. The closest beach is 20 minutes away. There is a point deduction for the cleanliness. The company that cleans the apartment after each guest didn't do a good job. The kitchen including dishes and pots was very dirty. But the landlord can't do anything about that. Communication with the landlord (Steve) was perfect and very helpful. We would come again.

About the host

Hosted by Steve Thornhill

We have vacationed in many destinations throughout Florida and found that the Sarasota area offers just about everything... first class beaches, a multitude of restaurants and evening entertainment including performing arts, access to many great golf courses, and a unique friendly feel! We spend time at this property and strive to ensure that you have someone to reach out to when needed and that everything is ready to go for your 5 star stay!

Why they chose this property

We love this safe, quiet gated community. The grounds and pool area are immaculate and it has a warm friendly atmosphere. It is in an ideal location within walking distance to almost every amenity you could ask for as well as quick access to a number of great beaches and the many local arts and theater attractions.

What makes this property unique

The view is one of the best at Serenata! This property offers a quiet top floor picture-perfect lakeside view, beautiful dark hardwood and stunning large tile flooring, solid wood furniture, and a new modern kitchen that give the unit a 'home-away-from-home' feel. We enjoy the mornings with a fresh coffee on the lanai or relaxing at what we see as one of the best pool areas in all of Sarasota. This unit has it all...and with the comforts of home!
