The house is comfortable, clean, and well-equipped â perfect for a relaxing stay. Unfortunately, my experience was impacted by a misunderstanding with the host, who claimed I had brought pets and caused damage that never happened. I had photos to prove otherwise, and while the pet fee was eventually removed, the situation left me feeling uncomfortable. Iâd recommend future guests take photos when they arrive and before they leave, just to avoid any misunderstandings.
Convenient to the areas in Sarasota we wanted to visit.Short drive to St. Armands Key, Ringling Museum, Columbia Restaurant, Shelby Botanical Gardens and the Linger Lodge. Neighborhood a little questionable and drive way was tough when pickup trucks parked right behind you on street. Otherwise the house was clean and mostly quiet neighborhood.
I'm not big on reviews, but everything was perfect in this home. Decor, cleanliness, kitchen supplies, appliances, etc... the minutes from a grocery store and only 20 minutes from Siesta. Kirby was great answering any questions, and they provided us with any info needed about the home on the kitchen counter. Absolutely great price for this amazing spot. I'm sorry I didn't take pictures, but the pictures they posted speak for themselves
We (and our pet) took daily bike rides and walks around the very nice residential neighborhood that is a few blocks from Indian Beach. We enjoyed eating at several of the local restaurants and is only a few minutes to downtown Sarasota. The private fenced back yard and screen porch was our favorite place to relax. Kirby is a very pleasant and responsive host. It was our first long term rental and it did not disappoint.
The Owner was very helpful, answered all our questions, and gave us some excellent suggests for activities and restaurants. The stay was very pleasant. Very nice screened in back patio which we could only use once due to the unusually weather.
We really enjoyed our stay. The property is equipped with everything you need and was really clean, comfortable and convenient to nearby dining and shopping.
The house affords you everything you could possibly want and need!! Then, outside of the house you have the closeness to eateries, bars, grocery stores, beaches, hiking, etc. It definitely is YOUR HOME AWAY FROM HOME!!!!!
Cozy, clean and comfortable small house that was in a charming neighborhood near the bay and just a mile or so north of the heart is downtown Sarasota.
I contacted the owner several times prior to arriving on Oct 31.; in regards of the hurricanes that come through that area. The owner said all was good. Some fencing was down but would be up when we got there. Then a few days later I see about red tide being in the area. Once again, he reassured us that everything was good. Letâs just say, part of the fence is down, we did arrive an hour early and they gave us early access to the property. The gate only locked from the outside; which itâs a wooden fence and I had to life with all my might to get the latch to slide over and catch. This would
Not be an issue if we didnât have a dog with us and the fact they said everything was âgoodâ. Also, not being very technical type of person; we struggled with the keyless entry along with the streaming of the tv. We realize that that area was beaten up with the storms; but just wanted an honest answer. Red tide is nothing to play around with especially when you have copd.
Lovely property, great location. Convenient to downtown, beaches, many amenities. Quiet neighborhood. Loved the screened-in porch, perfect spot for morning coffee. Would definitely stay again!
The property was charming and comfortable. It is conveniently located near the beach, approximately a 10-minute drive away. While the main bedroom does not have a television, the second bedroom has a decent-sized TV. The lanai is wonderful and the backyard is equipped with a hammock. The property provides all the necessary beach essentials. Overall, it was a delightful stay. đ
My name is a Kirby and I was born and raised in Denver. I love to travel and learn about the history of new places as well as the people and their stories and they way they approach life. Avid animal lover and have a wolfadoodle and 2 cats with Cameron.
We have come to the area for years but over covid spent a month in Sarasota exploring and riding a bike around town and fell in love with the little Goldielocks feel of the area ( not too big, not too small). The indian Beach sapphire shores area has a rich history and itâs got this jungle feel 2 blocks to the water with all these amazing huge homes but itâs a really old neighborhood so with all this lush overgrown greenery, itâs really peaceful and clean and nice. Being by the school ensures the safety of the area but itâs also really quiet and we donât mind that at all and love wandering the hood in the evenings around sunset. Itâs also super close to downtown and lido beach which is our favorite.
One block away you have this adorable local coffee shop/bookstore, a local bar with good food and fancy cocktails open until 2 am, and a Starbucks, Walgreens, grocery, dunkin all within 2 blocks so itâs walkable but not in all the busy areas and so it feels like you have the best of both worlds
