About the host
Hosted by Pam Sefrino
Welcome to our Sarasota vacation home! We fell in love with this property when we saw how close this quiet neighborhood is to the lively downtown (a short bike ride or 3 minute drive) and it's fabulous restaurants, shops and live music. The bonus is being just minutes to everything else Sarasota has to offer: Bayfront Park for sunset walks, O'Leary's Tiki Bar (a favorite spot) & Marina Jack's; Siesta Key beach & village, St. Armand's Circle and Longboat and Lido Key beaches. The new Legacy Trail entry is 1/10 of a mile up the street for scenic bike rides or just walk up the street over to Payne Park for a morning stroll where you'll find a cafe, giant playground, a tennis center and more. Don't miss the downtown Farmer's Market on Saturday mornings. It's wonderful!
Why they chose this property
Location, location, location with many amenities that a high priced hotel doesn't offer! Plenty of space to spread out, make your own meals and drinks and pack a cooler for the beach. Four beach chairs and soft cooler are waiting for you. Walk to Payne Park to grab a scooter for a ride downtown!
What makes this property unique
Quiet, walkable neighborhood with off-street parking for two to three cars. Private fenced-in yard with gorgeous, walk-in spa shower and propane firepit area, lit up in the evening. Modern, comfortable interior with all of the amenities. Publix is two minutes around the corner, as is CVS, Walgreen's and countless shops, boutiques and eateries. Tons of shopping, dining and activities, walkable or within minutes bike or drive. The ocean is just minutes away at either Bayfront Park (our favorite place for a sunset, walking or a cool drink at O'Leary's Tiki) Bird Key just over the bridge or one of the three beautiful beaches (Siesta, Lido or Longboat Key)
