Nice Property near Heart of Sarasota

It’s like a tree house as a second floor unit. Very private and well kept. Comfortable and spacious. Close to Ringling Museum and downtown Sarasota. Antohitos is a great Cuban restaurant that is a short walk.

Short Stay in Sarasota

The property came as advertised online on VRBO and met all our requirements for our stay. We appreciated the spacious living room / dining area and enjoyed morning walks on Bayshore Drive which was close by. Quick access to major roads was a big plus for us as we travelled to many locations during our stay. The property management team were available, helpful and responsive in attending to a couple of minor issues we had which was very comforting to us. Overall this was a very good rental experience for my wife and I.

Very nice and clean! Looks exactly like the pictures! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would stay again when visiting Sarasota! My favorite was the Nespresso expresso maker. And I loved the idea of having a washer and dryer in the unit… we didn’t have to take home dirty clothes. There were also beach chairs, and an umbrella to use at the beaches. Other amenities included a steamer, iron, coffee maker, and everything you needed for your use. Lovely place to stay!

Beautiful apartment, comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen, comfy coach, great bathroom and fun outdoor space.

My daughter and I stayed at this Sarasota apartment and loved it. The pictures are an accurate description. It is nicely decorated, comfortable beds, kitchen well stocked, great bathroom with tile walk in shower. Great porch for eating meals outside and outdoor area with games. It is a great location a short drive to downtown Sarasota and Lido beach. Walmart is a block or two away and Publix a very short drive. Everything was so ideal. I have stayed in Sarasota numerous times but this was my favorite place for multiple reasons. We had a few questions are first night and the owner responded immediately to our call and answered our questions. He was very kind and helpful. We has absolutely no complaints and would definitely stay there again.
