About this property

Very tropical, private and peaceful, short walk to everything happening downtown

You’ll be very glad you chose to stay here. It’s walking distance to everything downtown, dozens of restaurants, live theater, galleries, ballet, opera, the bay, museums, Selby Gardens, and more. The neighborhood is cozy and quaint with unique architecture, 1920s bungalows, brick streets underfoot and a canopy of trees everywhere you walk. Your apartment is well appointed, comfortable and extremely clean. Art and sunshine are everywhere, vaulted ceilings, a wrap around bank of original 1920 windows and blackout curtains in the bedroom if you’d like to sleep late. The garden area has lush, tropical foliage everywhere. It’s quiet and relaxing with sunshine filtering through a canopy of 200 year old oak trees overhead. Comfortable outdoor sofa and chairs as well as a patio table set and grill with a backdrop of Giant Birds of Paradise and thick bushy palms. The cafe lights walk with you from your car to apartment. Truly a secluded gem with everything going just down the street. Beach chairs, beach towels and bag, boogie boards, innertubes, snorkels with goggles, beach umbrellas and bikes are yours for the taking. (We left the sea shells and seahorses at the beach!)
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fenced private yard, and a coffee maker. Housekeeping is available on request.

Host was welcoming. It was unfortunate that we missed any information indicating that the apartment was up a back set of stairs. The stone walkway to the back of the building was uneven and could be dangerous. After talking to the host, we discovered that the previous guests had taken her silverware, so we only had plastic ware for the first day. There was also very little choice in cookware (because we chose to eat in, that was a bit of a challenge). The bathtub and bathroom sink were slow draining. Host had forgotten to take care of that prior to our visit.The apartment itself was cozy and had some lovely character. AC worked fine.

Wanted to see the sights and sounds of downtown Sarasota and this place provided the perfect location and comfortable feel. Christina was very attentive and welcoming. We were just a few blocks from downtown so it was very easy walking to restaurants and shops. Had a very nice stay and would definitely stay again!

The suite itself was clean and in a good location, but our arrival was very confusing. We notified the host that we’d be arriving late, but when we got there, she didn’t realize we were the guests and came outside shouting profanities, which was really startling. She apologized the next morning and issued a small credit, which we appreciated.We left the space in great condition (stripped the bed and gathered towels), so we were surprised to receive a message after checkout saying the place wasn’t left well. There was no damage or mess, so we’re not sure what the concern was.Overall, the stay was fine, but the communication and check-in experience were unpredictable and made us feel a bit uncomfortable.

She even had extra food and snacks for me when my flight was delayed and did not arrive until after midnight. She checked on me regularly and was very patient!
