The home is just 2 doors down from the historic Gillespie Park, a 10-acre oasis featuring 3 public tennis courts, basketball courts, fitness trail/fitness stations, large playground, beautiful duck pond and leash free dog park. The exterior of the home is surrounded by lush tropical palm trees. There is plenty of parking with room for 1 car in the garage, two cars in driveway, parking in the front, and plenty more parking 2 doors down at Gillespie park. The location and amenities are unmatched, and undoubtedly the best value in the neighborhood just seconds from downtown Sarasota proper, the historic district, restaurants, shopping, theaters, and the Bay front. Walking distance to the Rosemary district, The Sarasota Opera house, Wholefoods, Starbucks and convenience stores. Other nearby attractions include The Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, The Mote Aquarium, The Big Cat Habitat & Sanctuary, The Marietta Museum of Art & Whimsy, and Saint Armand’s Circle. Siesta Key Beach, rated the #1 Beach in the USA, is just a quick 20 minutes away.

Any trip to Sarasota must include a visit to Siesta Key. One of America’s most famous beaches, the Key boasts gorgeous quartz sand, stunningly clear and a charming village formed of beautiful bungalows, renowned restaurants and fabulous shops. If you’re after a quiet time, then why not wade in the crystal waters of the Gulf, or charter a fishing boat for the day? If quiet time is the last thing on your mind, then why not feed your inner daredevil – Jet-skiing, windsurfing, paddle boarding or parasailing are just some of the things you can do to get the heart racing. Whatever mood you’re in, Siesta Key and Sarasota are bound to have something for you. Or if you want to visit the surrounding areas, then jump in the car and take the short drive to Orlando or Tampa, where you can visit the iconic Disney World, Epcot Center, Islands of Adventure, and SeaWorld, or Busch Gardens and the Florida aquarium. You’ll be guaranteed to leave with a camera full of wonderful memories and a bag full of souvenirs.

Great vacation home

The house was an ideal choice for us. The location is perfect for walking to the Rosemary District as well as downtown for excellent dining. Close enough by car to beaches and a visit to Ringling, Mote Marine Aquarium, Big Cat Sanctuary, and a charter boat around the islands with very little driving. The house is extremely well organized and designed for 6 people. Our only issue was the pool heat. We would have liked it a bit warmer, and Gerard was great at having someone look at it, but we never achieved the warmth we needed for a cool April week. But it didn’t keep us out of the pool. We had a wonderful time. Thank you!

Perfect stay and location

The house was very clean and communication with the owner was great. The property is centrally located close to downtown, the beach, Publix, and a nice park next door. We made good use of the beach chairs and beach towels for our 8 minute drive to the beach. We have to go back to Sarasota in 2 weeks but unfortunately the house is booked. Looking forward to booking again soon.

We now consider this property our "home away from home" in Florida. Gerard is the best host one could ask for...highly responsive and friendly! The property is clean, well provisioned, and an easy walk to downtown Sarasota. We personally love adjacent Gillespie Park-playground for the grandkids, tennis/pickleball courts, and an easy ½ mile walking loop. Can't wait to return next March!

Oasis in a neighborhood close to everything

This house was amazing. Absolutely beautiful with a fantastic open, yet private courtyard area with a pool and a jacuzzi, and sauna in the garage. Great, tasteful, modern remodel. The master bath was incredible. Clear instructions for check-in and check-out, owner kindly extended my check-out time. This might be the nicest place I've ever rented.

The house is as listed. Beautiful, clean, comfortable. It has everything you can need. Fully equipped kitchen. Plenty of sheets and blankets. Nice neighborhood, beach is 5 min drive. My only suggestion is to put couple of rugs on the entrance from the pool so the floor does not get too wet. This is the perfect vacation house :)

We were in town for my nephew's wedding and at different times invited friends and family over to visit. The house was a perfect hangout. Lots of space in the living room, dining area, patio, all where you could open the big sliding doors and have that indoor/outdoor feel. Bedrooms are comfortable, primary bath is awesome. Kitchen is well equipped. Location is perfect, walkable to restaurants and shops, and a short drive to Marina Jack. A couple of very minor issues that Gerard responded to quickly. All in all, would stay here again if visiting Sarasota.
