The master bedroom awaits you with a Sealy pillow top mattress and quality linens. The room is tastefully decorated and has a spacious layout.

The secondary bedroom with a queen bed is inviting and comfortable, just a few steps to the bathroom with a large walk-in shower with a rainfall luxury shower.

The kitchen is equipped with everything needed to cook up an amazing meal and feel at home. Including a blender and coffee maker. Also included is coffee, powder creamer and an assortment of sweetener.
Eat at the dining table or relax on the large couch watching TV on the massive 65-inch Smart TV.

At the end of the day, you can go outside and relax in the shared courtyard space, have a BBQ, and sit around the outdoor table and chairs, you can even light the fire pit on the cooler evenings. The space is fully fenced to offer privacy and quietness.

There are two faux grassy areas at each end of the courtyard for your furry family members, as well as the Canini Club Dog Park about 1 mile away.

Myself and my team will be available to assist with any questions or issues during your stay by text, messenger, and call if emergency.

What a gem!

Everything is so nicely done… new appliances , mattresses, pillows and linens - all very plush too. They have thought of everything you will need to have a great stay. It felt like home away from home! First time in Sarasota so there was lots to discover and Jojo, the property manager, was great at making suggestions about what not to miss and places to eat and where to find entertainment. The location is great…a short drive to Lido Beach, Siesta Key, downtown and St Armand’s Circle. It’s a 5 minute walk to the grocery store and a 10 minute walk to the bay. Even the airport is only a ten minute drive away! We will definitely be back for more seafood, beach walks and sunsets!

Awesome VRBO close to Sarasota downtown

Below average

The day before we arrived I was told we would have to share the patio with possibly another small dog of which our dog was a 10lb Morkie, and the limit was 20lb to our surprise it was 2 labor doodles weighing at about 70lbs., also the patio turned out to be a courtyard for 4 ranch style apartments with a fence on the far side of each end so that was also a share. Next.. There was 1 set of towels perperson for an entire week when I emailed the host I was told that I could wash them and usually there should be 2 per person so she sent the cleaning lady over with towels that had stains on them obviously no bleach being used here.Next No laundry detergent,No automatic dishwasher detergent,No bar soap, No paper towels, No Napkins, as stated in her essential list, not even enough to get u started the first couple of days When I complained by text to the host about the missing things she finally sent them with the soiled towels and ssked if this would make me happy.The most disgusting to me was when I went into the bathroom to find a cockroach on the top of the sink. There is no golf course view in front or back. I booked it on the 9th with an arrival on the 26th and was told that there was no refund by VRBO when I tried to cancel on Dec.10th.I was told several times that her house was not child proof, The child was a 10yr. Old of which was stated when I booked the apartment. I have pictures of the stained linens and the roach in the bathroom if u would like them. When working with this host I felt she was rude with her comments and I will not book with her again.After all I was on VACATION
