Month in lovely weather

This house was terrific as were all communications we had with the property manager (and owner). Beds were comfortable as was the furniture. We were able to set up 2 work stations and not interfere with each other’s calls. (The printer came in handy for the few times a real signature was needed). We easily accommodated family and friends for a small gathering and overnights. The pool was heated to a comfortable temperature - though the mottled ducks seemed to like it too. The house is light and spacious. It allowed us and our guests to spread out indoors and out. And the Sarasota County Pompano pickleball courts are 10 minutes away. We hope to return!

Sarasota stay

We had a wonderful time in Sarasota. The house was so convenient to trails and to walk downtown. The house was comfortable for two couples to share and have our own privacy as well. Loved the heated pool and deck.

About the host

Hosted by T.J. King

Host profile image
I am a Sarasota native, born and raised. We bought this home to be able to spend summers with our extended family in one spot and we love that we are able to share it for the rest of the year.

Why they chose this property

This neighborhood is beautiful, historic, well established and close to EVERYTHING!! Right on the bike path to Marina Jacks and downtown. Close to everything downtown has to offer... amazing dining, entertainment, shopping and just a quick drive over the bridge to St Armands and Longboat Key. You're so close without having to deal with the downtown traffic or being in a cramped condo apartment.

What makes this property unique

This property is the definition of spacious. The high ceilings, the historic styling next to the modern, the feeling of happiness and creativity that the home inspires is hard to match.
