This small apartment was in a residential neighborhood that was nice and quiet at night! It was a short Uber drive away to downtown. There was no kitchen, which was fine for my short stay. It was a lovely experience overall and the host was incredibly communicative!

Cozy Studio

We really enjoyed our stay, neighborhood was quiet, location was excellent, surrounding were beautiful. It was a little smaller than we expected, the pictures shown actually have the bed and living area switched and the couch was not very comfortable, but it worked for us and host was very accommodating. We would stay here again.

The space was clean and well decorated. The bed was comfortable but small. I didn’t love the curtains on the glass door. They are too small and do not completely cover the door. While the room was very clean, the cleaners had used strong bleach and the smell was over powering. The space is cozy for two people and on a quiet street. It is near town and convenient to local businesses. Overall it was very nice.

Quiet oasis in a great location

This place was perfect. Clean, modern, quiet, you name it. Its at the end of a street and backs up to woods so it was super peaceful. It had a great front patio and plenty of space inside. Everything was clean and new. The location was also awesome. 5 mins from airport or downtown Sarasota. Less than 20 to Siesta Key.

Nice little place

Everything you need for a couple of days. It’s not new so don’t expect perfect. And it’s not the best neighborhood, but it’s affordable and close to a lot of things. Easy to relax and just enjoy it. It really is just for one couple without kids

Very Comfortable, But...

Overall I enjoyed my stay. The unit is very cute and comfortable, the owner was responsive, and the neighborhood was quiet. Regretfully, I did experience one issue though. I spent the weekend in Sarasota for my birthday, and as a treat to myself, I wanted only two things out of the trip: 1. I wanted to go to my favorite museum (the Ringling) and 2. I wanted to spend time in a hot tub. What can I say, I enjoy the simple things. So I filtered my search results on Vrbo for a property in the area that had a hot tub. This listing was one of maybe 3 that came up as including a hot tub, and it looked charming so I booked it. Vrbo prompted me to send a message to the host, so I sent one that said, "Hi! I can't wait to stay here, and I'm looking forward to using the hot tub!" The host responded courteously, and we kept in touch ahead of my arrival about where to park and how to access the entrance -- all the usual stuff. So I arrive on Friday night and I message the host saying, "I just arrived, everything looks great! How do I access the hot tub? I didn't see it on my way in, is it around back" You can probably guess where this is going but it turns out there was no hot tub. The owner said he didn't know how the listing came to include a hot tub and seemed baffled (even though I mentioned it in my first message to him). He was very sorry and did try to make it right by issuing a partial refund which I'm thankful for, but I was still so bummed. It was a pleasant stay otherwise though.
