Weekend visit to Sarasota

I booked this condo for my husband because he was visiting our daughter for the weekend. Perfect location to enjoy a morning swim, fine dining and sunset beach walks. Easy access to downtown Sarasota. He raved about the cleanliness, decor and layout of the condo. I know this is a place we will return for future visits!! He enjoyed exploring Lido and Longboat Key! Sue was very responsive to questions and instructions were clear and timely. J. Ellis

Cute Condo in Great Location

The place was clean, well equipped and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It was perfect for 2 people. The beach accessories, including the beach wagon, umbrella and chairs were great to have and made our trips to the beach so much easier and enjoyable. Easy walk to St. Armands Circle for restaurants and shops. The host was very nice and easy to contact. Would definitely stay here again.

Best vacation spot yet.

Sue worked very hard on restoring this property after the hurricanes. It was beautiful on the inside. It was very spacous with all new furnishings. The location is within walking distance to the beach, food, drinks, and shopping. The only downside was having to leave. We cannot recommend this place enough.
