Nice property and lower and neighborhood but neighbors were friendly. Unfortunately found roaches in the apartment. “Oh no” you say, but no worries-Yusimay handled it immediately. She switched us to another similar property without any delay or fuss— the next duplex she moved us to at a fair, very sweet neighbor on the other side who befriended the older gentleman in the party. He said he very much enjoyed his time there.

Thank you for your thoughtful review and for allowing us to make things right. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced upon arrival. Since your stay, we have taken several additional steps to address the issue: we scheduled an extra professional pest control treatment, replaced the affected appliances with new units, and completed a thorough deep cleaning of the property. We are committed to maintaining a clean, comfortable, and welcoming environment for all of our guests. Thank you for your patience and understanding. We were able to quickly relocate your group to another one of our properties without delay. It was wonderful to hear that the friendly neighbor helped make the experience even more enjoyable. Thank you again for your feedback, as it helps us continue improving. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again on a future visit to Sarasota. Warm regards, Yusimay

About the host

Hosted by Yusimay Lorenzo

Host profile image
Hi! I’m Yusi 😊

I was born in Cuba and raised right here in South Florida, so hospitality has always been a big part of who I am. As a licensed Florida Realtor, I’ve spent the past few years helping families find a place to call home, and for over 15 years, I’ve hosted loved ones and created spaces where people feel comfortable, welcome, and cared for.

Traveling is something I truly enjoy, especially exploring national parks with my family and soaking in nature. I bring that same appreciation for meaningful experiences into every stay I host.

This is a family-run home, and my goal is simple: for you to feel at ease, like you belong here.

If you happen to fall in love with the area, I’d be more than happy to share some local insights (and yes, even real estate tips 😉).

Looking forward to hosting you!

Yusi

Why they chose this property

We chose this area because it offers the best of both worlds: close to everything worth exploring without the high price tag of more touristy spots. You’re just a short drive from beaches, downtown, restaurants, and local attractions, while still enjoying a quieter, more relaxed neighborhood feel.

It’s the kind of place where you can unwind after a full day out, avoid the crowds, and experience Sarasota more like a local.

As a host (and a local), I also love that it’s convenient, central, and practical whether you’re here for work, a quick getaway, or a longer stay.

What makes this property unique

Sarasota Cassia is all about comfort, convenience, and a relaxed Florida vibe. 🌴

What makes it special is its location—you’re just minutes from the Ringling Museum of Art, downtown Sarasota, the airport, and some of the area’s most beautiful beaches, while still enjoying a quiet residential setting.

Inside, the space is thoughtfully set up for real-life stays—whether that’s a quick trip or a longer visit. You’ll find comfortable beds, a dedicated workspace, fast WiFi, and simple touches that make it easy to settle in.

Guests also love having outdoor space to unwind, plus the convenience of being close to groceries, restaurants, and everything you might need during your stay.

Most importantly, this is a family-run home. We take pride in creating a welcoming, clean, and dependable space where guests can relax and feel at home.
