About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Very tropical, private and peaceful, short walk to everything happening downtown

Located in Sarasota's first and oldest neighborhood, quaint Laurel Park is walking distance to everything downtown.and very short drive or bike ride to beaches

It wis very quiet and private. The backyard is large, completely enclosed with a beautiful 6' wooden fence. Lush and tropical with backyard furniture, patio table for eating, remote working, or reading. Grills, beach chairs, enclosed washer and dryer... It's a beautiful slice of old Florida for the sole use of the two apartments and your guests. You won't want to leave.

**There is a downstairs apartment that you can find if you click on my profile or scroll to the bottom of the page

***Please know…VRBO, and all rental sites, are the middlemen that bring us together and they do a great job. But no guest ever pays me, you’re paying them. So if there’s ever questions about your payments or insurance you would call them. Once you book they give you my info and you’re always welcome to message me.

Wanted to see the sights and sounds of downtown Sarasota and this place provided the perfect location and comfortable feel. Christina was very attentive and welcoming. We were just a few blocks from downtown so it was very easy walking to restaurants and shops. Had a very nice stay and would definitely stay again!

Rental was not ready by 4p, had to sit outside for over half hour while being cleaned with our dog. It was clean with appropriate amenities when we were able to get in. Unit is second floor small space but well appointed/efficient. Outdoor space is lovely as described. Very walkable to great restaurants in town. Quiet, peaceful surroundings. Bed was comfortable. Great location to Sarasota and local beaches. Appreciated the beach chairs and washer/dryer. Enjoyed our time in Sarasota. Cute place to stay.

2nd stay at Christie’s bright and clean upstairs apartment! This is such a convenient location to walk and explore all of Sarasotas downtown restaurants. The new Bayrunner shuttle makes getting to Lido Beach for an early morning walk so easy too. Fun trip!

What an awesome, cute, wonderful place! It's on the second floor with windows all around, so it's like being in one of those ranger stations! The property (as well as the ones surrounding) is beautiful, and relaxing. It's within walking distance to so many great restaurants, galleries, etc. We loved it and would recommend it to anyone who wants a great place to stay while in Sarasota!

Our apartment has wonderful light, which comes in from three sides, yet the sense of privacy is excellent. The bed is comfortable, and the neighborhood is charming. Christie, our host, could not have been more friendly and accommodating. We had a great time.

We booked last minute for a lacrosse tournament in the area. Christie was very responsive and accommodating throughout our stay. We arrived very late at night and she was kind enough to have some snacks for my daughter upon arrival. The neighborhood was very cool and many places to eat within a short distance. Good experience all around.

My stay was cut short by concerns about the weather, but my brief visit was lovely and restful. Christie was an excellent host who communicated well both before and during my stay. Directions were clear, and the property is clean and in a very nice neighborhood. I went for a walk in the morning and really liked the shaded sidewalks (especially in the August heat and humidity), and the other people I met up with were friendly. I would definitely stay here on future visits to Sarasota.
