About this property

Live like a happy & relaxed Sarasota local in this perfect 2 bedroom home

  • You are likely searching for a rental because you want a place that feels easy, comfortable, and genuinely welcoming. Whether you are here on vacation, visiting family, or traveling for work, you want to come home at the end of the day to a space that feels calm, clean, and safe. This Sarasota home was created with exactly that in mind. It is quaint, comfortable, thoughtfully set up, and designed to help you relax and recharge, whether you are enjoying time off or working remotely. Location truly is everything, and this home delivers. Situated just behind Ed Smith Stadium off 10th Street, you are in one of Sarasota’s most eclectic and authentic neighborhoods. This is true local Sarasota living, not a tourist strip. Long term residents, friendly neighbors, and a relaxed atmosphere create a setting where guests feel at ease from the moment they arrive. Downtown Sarasota is just a seven minute Uber ride away, and biking is easy if you enjoy being active. You can bike toward Lido Beach, cross the Ringling Causeway, or drive anywhere in the city within minutes. Waterside, UTC, downtown, the beaches, dining, shopping, and cultural attractions are all easily accessible without paying resort or hotel prices. This location allows you to enjoy everything Sarasota offers while coming home to a peaceful residential setting. The home itself has been meticulously maintained and upgraded. It features a new roof, impact windows, a fully fenced backyard, and a private driveway. Inside, the home feels fresh, clean, and uncluttered, yet warm and inviting. There is no carpet, no odors, and no overlooked details. The air conditioning system and ductwork are new and professionally cleaned every year to maintain excellent indoor air quality. A whole home water filtration system, along with filtered refrigerator water, adds an extra layer of comfort and care. Comfort is a priority throughout the home. The beds are cozy, the sheets are soft, hot water is reliable, and the bathrooms are modern and thoughtfully updated. There is a washer and dryer available for guest use. Out back, a spacious screened lanai with a television creates the perfect spot to unwind, read, watch a game, or enjoy quiet evenings outdoors. This home is owned and operated by a former resort and hotel manager with over 35 years of experience, and it shows. Cleanliness, organization, and thoughtful touches are evident throughout. The property is also owned by a local Sarasota Realtor who takes great pride in offering a home that is cared for at a very high standard. This is not a party house. It is a place meant to be respected, enjoyed, and cared for as if it were your own. There is something special about the setting here. Sunrises greet you from the front of the home, while sunsets glow in the backyard. Mature trees surround the property, birds sing throughout the day, and the overall feeling is calm and grounding. It is the kind of place where you naturally slow down, breathe easier, and feel at home. If you are looking for a Sarasota stay that is clean, comfortable, safe, well located, and thoughtfully cared for, this home offers exactly that. Guests who come and stay here will want to return time and time again, drawn by the comfort, the energy, and the feeling that this is more than just a rental. It's a place to escape, reconnect with nature, and enjoy the best of Sarasota living. Special requests are always welcome. With a hospitality mindset, our goal is to exceed your expectations and create an experience that allows you relax and truly be carefree. We hope our guests will consider this their home too and come back time and time again.

Lake Tomahawk H.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
We were incredibly fortunate to make a last-minute booking at this Sarasota property hosted by Dawn, where we truly "Lived like happy & relaxed locals" as the listing headline suggested would be the case!!! Communication with Dawn was the best we've ever experienced at a vacation rental - prior to and during the stay, as well as after departure. The property has a very appealing exterior and we enjoyed sitting on the front porch rockers taking in the view of the nice quiet neighborhood. The interior was immaculately clean and the layout, furniture, and furnishings were exactly as shown in the listing description and photos - and Dawn clearly has a great eye for design. The living/dining area was well appointed, the kitchen was well outfitted and included some goodies to get us started, the beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms/showers were just right. On top of all that, the screened-in porch was so comfy and airy that it was surpassed only by the huge fenced-in backyard - which was perfect for our pup!!! This property is (as described in the listing) "easy, comfortable, and welcoming" and deserving of 5-stars, as were all of our communications with the Host. All three of us (Keith, Mary & Thyme) enjoyed our stay so much that we're already talking to Dawn about another, longer "happy & relaxed" stay.
