This secluded little sanctuary was perfect for our business group. So much more relaxing than the hotel route. Would 100% stay again.

The house was very clean and communication with the owner was great. The property is centrally located close to downtown, the beach, Publix, and a nice park next door. We made good use of the beach chairs and beach towels for our 8 minute drive to the beach. We have to go back to Sarasota in 2 weeks but unfortunately the house is booked. Looking forward to booking again soon.

We now consider this property our "home away from home" in Florida. Gerard is the best host one could ask for...highly responsive and friendly! The property is clean, well provisioned, and an easy walk to downtown Sarasota. We personally love adjacent Gillespie Park-playground for the grandkids, tennis/pickleball courts, and an easy ½ mile walking loop. Can't wait to return next March!

This house was amazing. Absolutely beautiful with a fantastic open, yet private courtyard area with a pool and a jacuzzi, and sauna in the garage. Great, tasteful, modern remodel. The master bath was incredible. Clear instructions for check-in and check-out, owner kindly extended my check-out time. This might be the nicest place I've ever rented.
