Beautiful apartment, comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen, comfy coach, great bathroom and fun outdoor space.

My daughter and I stayed at this Sarasota apartment and loved it. The pictures are an accurate description. It is nicely decorated, comfortable beds, kitchen well stocked, great bathroom with tile walk in shower. Great porch for eating meals outside and outdoor area with games. It is a great location a short drive to downtown Sarasota and Lido beach. Walmart is a block or two away and Publix a very short drive. Everything was so ideal. I have stayed in Sarasota numerous times but this was my favorite place for multiple reasons. We had a few questions are first night and the owner responded immediately to our call and answered our questions. He was very kind and helpful. We has absolutely no complaints and would definitely stay there again.
