Sarasota trip

We had a wonderful stay. The hosts are very friendly and easy to communicate with. The place was very clean, well stocked, and quiet. Several good restaurants within walking distance. We loved having a nice cool place to relax after being out in the heat at the rowing national regatta. We would definitely stay here again when in this area.

The Local Experience

It was a wonderful and peaceful end to a day of adventuring. One of the best parts was how centrally located to everything The Nest was! Everything you could want to do on a Florida vacation was a short car ride away. Would definitely stay here again the next time I come down to Sarasota!

Home away from home

Stayed for a almost a week to drop daughter off to school and it was so nice to have a beautiful place to stay at that had all the comforts of home, and close to everything we needed. Not having to stay in a cold hotel room each night made it easier for us. Great people and so welcoming to their place.

Great spot!

We enjoyed our stay at the Nest! Location was ideal; nice neighborhood - walking distance to bay front and some great restaurants and Morton’s Market in Southside. Clean, spacious bedrooms, lots of beach gear (no bikes currently). Short drive to Siesta Key and St Armand’s. Pat and Joe were lovely hosts and we hope to return!

Great Location, Had Everything We Needed

We were told when we arrived “The Nest” had everything we would need, and they were right! It truly was a home away from home and meant we didn’t have to carry as much on the plane. Not only that, but the bikes provided were great as Downtown Sarasota was just a short 5-10 minute ride away. We loved our stay at the Nest and would recommend it to anyone!
