This location was ideal, close to the airport, grocery stores and downtown. A little congested with traffic at peak times but also easy to find alternative routes to bypass the gridlocked traffic. 2-3 block walk to the water for sunsets and views of the Ringling bridge.

The house was clean, easy to walk in to and use it like a home away from home. Also had a nice simple pet friendly yard. Sent a couple messages to owners who were quick to respond and helpful. Pretty close to a bunch of beaches also. All around worth it!

We had a wonderful long weekend here. It was quiet and peaceful and exceeded our expectations. The hour is clean and comfortable and very well-stocked with everything we needed. Communication with Kirby is easy and quick to respond. It's walking distance to the beach. The house is true to its listing--what you see in the photos is what you get. It's also in a great location and close to all the things we wanted to do. We would definitely stay here again.

Great Place To Stay!

My family and I had a great stay at the Sarasota-Indian Beach Zen Home. Our host, Kirby was excellent. He responded immediately to any questions we had and followed up right away. The location is superb and the house is spacious. I highly recommend staying here if you are visiting Sarasota

About the host

Hosted by Kirby

Host profile image
My name is a Kirby and I was born and raised in Denver. I love to travel and learn about the history of new places as well as the people and their stories and they way they approach life. Avid animal lover and have a wolfadoodle and 2 cats with Cameron.

Why they chose this property

We have come to the area for years but over covid spent a month in Sarasota exploring and riding a bike around town and fell in love with the little Goldielocks feel of the area ( not too big, not too small). The indian Beach sapphire shores area has a rich history and it’s got this jungle feel 2 blocks to the water with all these amazing huge homes but it’s a really old neighborhood so with all this lush overgrown greenery, it’s really peaceful and clean and nice. Being by the school ensures the safety of the area but it’s also really quiet and we don’t mind that at all and love wandering the hood in the evenings around sunset. It’s also super close to downtown and lido beach which is our favorite.

What makes this property unique

One block away you have this adorable local coffee shop/bookstore, a local bar with good food and fancy cocktails open until 2 am, and a Starbucks, Walgreens, grocery, dunkin all within 2 blocks so it’s walkable but not in all the busy areas and so it feels like you have the best of both worlds
