Entire place

Tropical, private, downtown

You’ll more than enjoy your accommodations and be very glad you chose to stay here. Your apartment is well appointed, comfortable and extremely clean. Original art floods the walls. The garden area is lush, quiet and relaxing with sunshine filtering through a canopy of 200 year old oak trees overhead. Comfortable outdoor sofa and accent chairs as well as a patio table and chairs set with a backdrop of Giant Birds of Paradise and thick bushy palms. The cafe lights walk with you from your car to apartment. A private gem walking distance to everything. Private off street parking and fully stocked washer and dryer. Beach chairs, huge beach towels, beach bag, boogie boards, innertubes, snorkels…. Dog shower. New mattresses and smart TVs with all of the movie channels.

The highlight of this mini vacation trip was the host Christie, she was very helpful and communicative. Telling me all kind of info for our trip. The apartment was clean, spacious and perfect for a couple. a nice patio to chat and relax after a long day. Very good restaurants around, walking distance and the beach is beautiful. We went to see the sunset and it is spectacular.

a perfect spot for an important weekend, at a great price

The property was perfectly located for our 3-day stay, and the owner was so accomodating to our needs. The entrance to our unit was at the back of the property (easily accessible), where there is a lovely and secluded area for morning tea/coffee or an evening chat. The kitchenette had everything we needed, and the shower was delightful on warm Florida days. So grateful-

Delightful!

Everything about this rental is charming! Real artwork, live plants and flowers - inside and out! Fresh updated bathroom. Cozy romantic back yard. Minutes from Main Street and St. Armands. Off street parking. And the host, Christie, is a pleasure to communicate with. We had a great stay!

Great location with easy walk to downtown Sarasota. Also an easy drive to Siesta Key, Saint Armand’s Circle, and various other beaches. Small apartment in the back connected to the owner’s home. There is a fridge, microwave, and ability to cook small meals if needed. Apartment is clean. A perfectly fine place if you just need a place to sleep and relax a little in between exploring the surrounding areas and beaches. There is ability to do laundry, but just know that it is outdoor in a closet and shared with renters from the top floor apartment. This apartment is pet friendly. Not necessarily a negative, but you should know.

A cozy stay in downtown Sarasota

A small, but clean and cozy apartment within walking distance to downtown restaurants and cafés, and the marina and more. We enjoyed 4 weeks there with minimal use of the car.

Secluded accomodation

We only stayed for a short time, we met the owner on arrival, who was very sweet and helpful. We were the only one’s there so we had the whole place to ourselves. It’s really close to a big park, with tennis facility and walkable to the marina and a downtown area.

Elopement stay

We arrived at the property and instantly fell in love with it. The outdoor space is adorable and very private. It was the perfect get away for our elopement. We had plenty of space for the two of us and our two small dogs. They really enjoyed the fenced in back yard. We were walking distance to everything downtown and it was still nice and quiet. Christina and Lulu (sweetest pup) were so accommodating and nice. She even gave us recommendations for beaches and made sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely be back to celebrate future anniversaries! We had the best and most memorable time here! :) Would recommend!!!

Great 4th of July weekend

The place was very nice. We enjoyed our stay. Nice and close to everything. We had one little hiccup but it was addressed quickly. Great communication from the host. My dog doesn't get to be off leash outside much with where we live and she loved being able to be free in the yard. There is also a nice dog park near by. Wish we could have stayed longer, would stay again.
