Convenient, clean Apartment 💯

This apartment is well located. I stayed for a week with my daughter due to National Regatta in Sarasota. The location was perfect between the venue and Old Town. The apartment was clean, and well equipped. You just need to bring your personal belongings. The owner Lisa was reachable at every moment just in case we need anything. Thank you thank you. I wont hesitate to stay in it again.

Very comfortable

Typically I have a hard time being comfortable when I’m away from home but I slept well, relaxed easy here. It was quiet but only minutes to the points of interest for us. Kitchen was stocked with essentials to make meals (even though I didn’t 😂). I didn’t like the electronic keypad to get in. Would have liked more wash rags. Very minor. I would definitely stay again!

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.

10 min drive to downtown Sarasota. Don't get too excited by the "3 Blocks to the Coast" - that's an insignificant detail to say the least... Plan on 20 min drive to the nearest public beach if you're lucky and there's no traffic. The unit was very clean! Only exception was the filthy BBQ in the backyard - could use some TLC. Furniture, amenities, and supplies are reasonable yet at the low end of the range for the price point. For example: Squeaky bed, sagging sofa, nice large TV but way too far from seating area, 2 rolls of toilet paper one of which at lowest possible quality, 9 nespresso pods (2 people * 7 days, do the math please), etc. Very weak water pressure in the shower.
