This home was perfect for our two families. Host was super responsive, and friendly. Property was well maintained, the beach towels were a plus! Will reserve again if we are visiting the area in the future.
The house was just as described and was a comfortable place for us to stay for a few nights. We enjoyed the location -- easily walkable to downtown and not a far drive to the beach. Kim communicated promptly. Would recommend!
Very clean , nicely organized house near downtown. I liked the tropical decor as well as the bird prints. Six block walk to water & opera house. Comfortable beds and nicely stocked kitchen. One block from best breakfast house. Also close to a German restaurant, but we did not eat there. Cozy backyard table to sit while enjoying the evening.
The place was exactly as described. It was quiet, clean, comfortable and a short walk downtown. Lido Beach was a 10 minute drive and Siesta Key was a 20 minute drive. Gillespie Park was the perfect getaway for me, my cousin and our kids after weeks of quarantine in Orlando. Kim, was great, she communicated often and made the trip to her place, simple and easy! I highly recommend Kim and her place in Gillespie Park for anyone headed to Sarasota. We'll be back soon!

Great location and easy access to the beach! Kim was a great communicator, responsive and flexible. We were there only a short but the kitchen was well equipped with the basics. Overall a good experience!
Adorable house in a convenient location! It felt much more spacious than the square footage listed. We were able to walk to some good restaurants and it was just a 10 minute drive to Lido beach and 15 minutes to Siesta Key. We appreciated the beach towels and beach chairs that were provided. Comfortable beds and house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.
Sarasota for a day, The place was amazing we loved the German restaurant right next to the house we also love the breakfast place right next to the house. Beautiful trees, and beautiful Decour. The double shower was a super bonus. Thank you so much we would definitely return Robert Tyrrell
Kim was very responsive before and during our stay for anything we needed. She kept me updated on whether we could check in a little bit early because we had a wedding to get to and it ended up working out great. The house was lovely and clean and the beds were so comfortable. We would definitely stay again!
Great little house! My family & I stayed here- we had everything we needed & didn't feel out of place at all! The house is very homey- but most importantly it's immaculately cleaned & maintained! Everyone felt comfortable immediately. It was perfect
Great location, great house, great host. No issues with our stay. Would definitely consider renting this property again in the future. Thank you for having us.
Loved our stay!!! Super clean, well-stocked with towels, etc. Walking distance to restaurants/shops. Beds were super comfortable!! 10 min drive to Lido Beach. Would definitely stay here again!!
The home was very clean with super comfy beds which is very important to us when staying away. We were only about 10 minutes to Lido beach and lots of great restaurants all around us. The breakfast House is right across the street and was fabulous! The home owner was easy to get in touch with and really thought of everything for a family stay including DVD’s, books and games for the kiddos. We will definitely return!

Thank you so much Tawnya. Please come back soon. You were excellent guests.
The residence is neat, clean, and comfortable. The location is downtown, but has off-street parking. Many additional features...large television, laundry, dishwasher, and beach towels.
The house had everything we needed and even more. The book selection was perfect for my bookworm daughters and we had endless fun with the little tonka truck. The kitchen was very well equipped with pans that are actually in good condition (which is rarely the case in my experience). The location couldn’t have been better - the nearby German brewhouse was the best! Kim was very helpful and responsive - we ran out of dishwasher detergent and she provided it in no time. We loved everything about this property and would love to stay again!

Thank you so much!
Please come back again soon. You were fantastic guests.
We enjoyed our stay in Sarasota very much. The house is walking distance from Down Town and restaurants and to Gillespie Park, which has Tennis courts. Our host was very responsive and actually gave us a small gift.

Thank you Mario!! Hope you had a lovely holiday--it was a pleasure meeting you both.
As promised, this house delivered. Spacious common areas, bedrooms and bathrooms. Great place to hang out. The back yard deck was private and quiet. We’d stay here again.
