Mother daughter trip
The host of this property is amazing. I had to reschedule this booking last minute. It was past the cancellation date. She allowed me to move it to a later date. I texted with her several times over the next few months. She always responded. The rental was exactly as it was presented. Cute little apartment very well stocked and clean. Super close to everything we wanted to do. We went to St Armand's circle and Lido beach. Would definitely stay here again.

Do not stay here
I have to say firstly this booking was on the back end of Hurricane Helene but there was no flooding in the area. We left St Petersburg Florida to make our way to this property. We were stuck at the Gandy bridge due to debris on the bridge after the Hurricane. So at 10am we message to ensure that everything was ok to which we received a message from the host to tell us that the ground floor property had water damage but the apartment above was available if we were happy to which we agreed was fine. After a long wait and journey down to the property we arrived at 4pm and made our way up to the first floor apartment. Firstly no attempt had been made to clear the garden area which we can let go after the storm. On entry to the apartment the first thing we noticed is that the sink was full of dirty pots and pans and no cleaning had been done and there was just a mattress with no bedding on the bed. The host was not there so I nessaged to say we were here to which she replied And said she was on here way. She said that she would need more time. We have her the benefit of doubt and with been on the road all day we said we would go for dinner and come back afterwards. We returned 3 hours later at 7pm to find that bed had still not been made. Again no host so I realised she was in the apartment below. I knocked on the door and she came to the door and said the bedding was in the washing machine. I said we were leaving and we would be expecting a full refund. Do not book.

We only stayed for a short time, we met the owner on arrival, who was very sweet and helpful. We were the only one’s there so we had the whole place to ourselves. It’s really close to a big park, with tennis facility and walkable to the marina and a downtown area.

Great 4th of July weekend
The place was very nice. We enjoyed our stay. Nice and close to everything. We had one little hiccup but it was addressed quickly. Great communication from the host. My dog doesn't get to be off leash outside much with where we live and she loved being able to be free in the yard. There is also a nice dog park near by. Wish we could have stayed longer, would stay again.

My husband , myself and our dog spent a few days on the gulf side of Florida. Since this was pet friendly with an enclosed yard it already was fabulous. When we pulled up and off loaded we were immediately enveloped in coziness. The description of drop your keys and go was right on. We walked to a great Italian restaurant across the street. We didn’t have to drive too far for any of the daily trips we did.

Absolutely lovely
Exactly as described, perfectly nestled, and walking distance to loads, safe, warm neighborhood. I did not cook while I was there, so the smol kitchenette did not get used fully, I also did not do laundry while there. Extremely suited for exactly what I needed. The owner is the most sparkling person I’ve met. I would keep her forever, warm and helpful, a literal gem. I was confortable and satisfied the whole weekend

Loved Christie’s backyard oasis with the scent of jasmine filling the air! The bed was extremely comfortable with the softest sheets! Having access to a washer and dryer meant we didn’t need to pack as much. We really enjoyed everything Sarasota had to offer: golf, museums and beach! Thanks, Christie!

The host was very nice and kept us updated. the apt. was small but nice and an excellent location w/ a beautiful courtyard. The only issue was she was not quite ready for us by the time we arrived but she kept us updated and refunded our pet deposit. Would still reserve it again. Beautiful walkable neighborhood.

This is our second time staying at this property in Sarasota and we just love it there!!! It's quiet and quaint but walking distance to everything! And there is a great outdoor space where you can view the stars between the beautiful trees in the back yard. The owner is so helpful and nice. I would highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a great get away week or weekend in Sarasota!!!

OMG - Unbelievably great!
I don’t even know where to begin! First of all this location is perfect… easy walk to Main St for restaurants, farmers mkt, boutique shopping, Whole Foods …but while you are “home” ( which is exactly what the unbelievably gracious host, Christie, creates for you to experience) you feel like you belong here and really don’t want to leave. It’s about a 10/15 min drive to St Armand’s and the beach in Lido Key. It’s a one bdrm apt with LR/ Kitchenette but the fabulously bohemian back yard is where you’ll want to sit with your coffee in the am and wine and cheese in the early evening. Host Christie has been responsive to our EVERY need This is comfortable, super clean, quiet, w/d is here for your use, you have your own parking space…honestly, it’s pretty perfect!
