It was a very lovely home. The little house was just an extra beautiful touch. When we return to Sarasota we would definitely stay here.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the lovely home and the charming little house. It would be a pleasure to host you again when you return to Sarasota—you're always welcome!
Nice convenient location! Plenty of room for family and proximity to many restaurants, grocery stores and activities. Appreciated the communication and flexibility in booking, hosts were able to accommodate us very last minute!
We booked this property as a last minute getaway and Lisa could not have been more accommodating to our family. The communication, ease of check in, and our overall stay was fantastic! We used both the main house and the guest cottage and there was enough space for all 6 of us. The outdoor patio and fire pit area at the cottage were a nice surprise too. The location is close to many stores and restaurants and just a short drive to the beach!

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you and your family enjoyed your last-minute getaway and that I was able to make your stay seamless and comfortable. It's wonderful that you appreciated the space, outdoor amenities, and the convenient location near shops, restaurants, and the beach. We would love to host you again anytime—you're always welcome!
The home is very nice, but I would warn against any seniors or anyone with mobility issues from staying here. It is 5 steps up to the front door with only 1 railing to hold onto. The 2nd floor bedroom is accessible only by a steep 18' foot staircase. But at least it has hand rails on both sides. I'm 66 and my wife is a little older. Neither of us ventured up there. Still, a nice house in a quiet and historical neighborhood.
Wow! ( April 2026 stay ) Everything was spot on as advertised. Only thing that wasn’t to my big surprise was the new addition of the spa / pool…. Game changer in the back yard. Who needs the beach when you have that!!! Location was 5 or 10 mins to everything you need by foot or car. Make sure you do the every Saturday morning street fest off of Main Street just minutes away… Lisa ( host ) communicated very well when needed. Beautiful place in a beautiful neighborhood Thank you!!!
