About this property

NAMED #1 BEST VACATION RENTAL WITH POOL IN SARASOTA BY TRIP 101 TRAVEL GUIDE MAGAZINE FOR 2022.
This is a nicely remodeled 650 square foot one bedroom apartment in a historic home located in the coveted safe Northwest Sarasota neighborhood. Outside is your small but quaint front porch. Your front door leads directly into a funky well equipped ovenless galley kitchenette with mini-fridge / freezer. Beyond there you will enjoy tropical-chic decor, original artwork, quality furnishings, petite chandelier over comfy king bed and clean vintage En-Suite bathroom. OUT BACK IS YOUR PRIVATE LANAI, HEATED POOL, OUTDOOR SHOWER and GRILL. All CLOTHING OPTIONAL. Totally private and not shared with anyone.
The vibe in this apartment will either relax or entice you. Alternative lifestyle friendly allows you the freedom to totally be yourself away from your home town. Create some new memories. A short one block stroll will reward you with awesome sunsets at our tiny waterfront park where local neighbors and college students gather at sunset. You will have 24 hour access to your villa apartment. You will have access to Florida beach chairs free to use. Northwest Sarasota is safe and friendly and truly Old Florida. The vegetation is old growth and awesome. Very tropical. Houses are an eclectic mix of modern to over 100 years old and modest to mansion. There are three colleges in the neighborhood, a word class museum, micro-brew pub, and Starbucks is in walking distance. Downtown Main Street is 1.5 miles for excellent restaurants, shopping and night life without fighting traffic. Sarasota is mainly a car reliant city. However, the public bus stop is a two block walk. Taxis and Uber are readily available. SRQ airport is a ten minute drive.

The sugar white sands of Lido Beach (my favorite) is a short 10 minute drive. World famous Siesta beach is a 20 minute drive. 1 block walk to Sarasota Bay.

Slice of Heaven

Roy’s place is always a nice tropical getaway and Roy is a great host. The pool, hot tub, and walkable neighborhood keep bringing me back. Foodies should know that the kitchen is sparsely supplied (no oven, few spices, few pots and pans, no Saran Wrap etc) so plan on bringing many of your own basics or plan on eating out 😉.

Beach,Pool Time.

Enjoyed the very private, well equipped casita. Roy was a great and very attentive host right on the property. He even found a place for our bikes. We want to come back but already booked. This is a winner.

Week away

Staying at Roy’s place was just what we needed. We used the hot tub and pool every night. The wine that was left for us on arrival was delicious. Such a nice thing to do. Only suggestion I have is for some kind of bench in the shower so women can shave their legs easier. Other than that one little suggestion Roy’s place is awesome! We would stay here again.

2nd stay at Roy's.

We have stayed on both sides of the property, and you can't go wrong with either one. We loved the very private pool, hot tub, outdoor ambient lighting and the property's excellent location.

Honeymoon retreat

My newlywed and I stayed here for our honeymoon. It was an absolute joy. I could not recommend this place any higher because it had everything we could ever want. We spent most of our time in the pool and hot tub. The inside of the house is very clean and layed out perfectly. Night time is like a wonderland out by the pool. The owner of the house is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet. We plan on going back on our anniversary every year.

About the host

Hosted by roy

As a host I most enjoy meeting so many interesting travelers from around the world. I am considered a kind soul with a love of Sarasota who strives to provide you with the best environment to create your new memories. It's your choice if you want absolute privacy, a quick meet and greet, or share some fun time together. A long career in historic preservation and vintage home restoration has given me the passion to personally restore this vintage Sarasota property to share with you. My hope is for you to enjoy yourself in many new ways.

Why they chose this property

This is a gem of a property in safe, friendly Northwest Sarasota. Old Florida neighborhood with large oak trees dripping in Spanish moss, mature tropical landscaping and water access. So close to beaches and the restaurants, night life and theaters of downtown Sarasota yet feels like a private, tropical oasis. Very safe and friendly.
The unofficial slogan in this neighborhood is "wouldn't want to live anywhere else".
