About the host

Hosted by Nicole Faeth

Host profile image
Hi, I’m Nicole!

My husband and I first visited Sarasota the winter of 2021, after the pandemic lockdown, escaping Ohio’s cold for sunny Sarasota — and wow, we instantly fell in love! This city and all surrounding parts stole our hearts & we wanted to share that same joy with others.

We’re all about making your stay comfy & memorable, and can’t wait to help you enjoy every minute on the gulf.

If you want a host that’s reliable & hosts from the heart, look no further! Let’s make some long lasting memories together!

Why they chose this property

The villa is located near multiple beaches, the historic fishing village of Cortez, and the desirable Anna Maria Island areas, without all the crowded places and streets around. Centrally located for ultimate convenience — our property offers even proximity to the beach, airport, and top attractions. Nestled in a mostly quiet neighborhood, our property is in a peaceful and safe area away from the crowded public tourist places, but near enough to enjoy them in a quick car, bike or trolley ride. This part of Florida has a distinct vibe that's different from other parts of Florida. With the oldest surviving fishing village in the state, the seven mile long beachy atmosphere, and the flourishing food culture, the unique charm makes this area one that anyone can enjoy. Thank you so much for the opportunity and we hope you enjoy your stay in our home & city!

What makes this property unique

Cozy coastal flare, welcome toiletries, waters, & welcome candies!
