Located in the Ringling Museum/Asolo Theater/fine arts area, our home is a pristine, newly renovated 4 BR, 3 BA home with heated pool, just a five-minute walk to gorgeous Sarasota Bay, Ringling Museum, Ca'D'Zan (John Ringling Home), and the Asolo Theater. Well-appointed kitchen with granite and wood cabinets and everything needed for cooking. Large living room with 15-ft. ceilings and huge flatscreen TV over fireplace. Hardwood floors.

DETAILS:
This 4 BR/3 BA home has been painstakingly & lovingly renovated in a “Coastal Contemporary” theme and features a wonderful pool and is just a few minutes’ walk away from the Bay, where you may see dolphins cavorting in the water—the perfect place to fish, kayak, or to watch the sunset, or just to let your kids play on the playground situated right on the water.
Enjoy the sprawling home, which has an open, inviting floor plan with 15-feet-high ceilings and ceiling fans to keep the bay breezes flowing. There is a large living room with 50” flatscreen smart TV, a dining room and a kitchen centered in the heart of it all. Open the French doors to the pool lanai to invite the outside in, and create the perfect Florida experience of warm weather, plentiful sunlight, and your own personal oasis with a pool, outdoor shower, and seating and dining arrangements inside and out!
The master bedroom features a king-sized bed with new pillowtop mattress (very comfortable!), a large wall-mounted flat screen TV, and a large, spacious, well-appointed master bath.
The guest bedrooms have comfy queen-sized beds. The home comfortably sleeps 8-10 altogether. You’ll also find a full-size washer and dryer should you need it for laundering those beach clothes!
In the screened in pool lanai, you will find a dining table and loungers for sunbathing and a grill for those evenings by the barbecue! There is also an outdoor shower, with both hot and cold water, by the pool, for washing off sand.
Two small kayaks are provided to you, along with life jackets, for exploring the Bay, with views of the historic Ca’D’Zan (John Ringling residence from the 1920s and setting for the movie Great Expectations with Ethan Hawke and Gwyneth Paltrow)! Just launch from the sandy shore and away you go! Explore the waters of Sarasota at your leisure, and get to know the best of Florida living.
This home is a gorgeous home that has spectacular amenities! We look forward to hosting your stay in paradise!

It was clean and had everything we needed. Awesome!!
Hello, it was a pleasure to have your family/group stay with us! The house was in immaculate shape when we returned home. Thank you so much for your kind care of our home! Secondly, July in Sarasota is hot and we've had record temps this summer. We have a recommended thermostat temp of 74 degrees posted by the thermostat, but for you and/or future renters: If needed, you can turn it down a little cooler for sleeping and such. Again, we appreciate you and hope you'll think of us when you next return to Sarasota! We have this home and then a number of properties at The Reserve/The Reserve SRQ (like a B&B)...there are coffees, teas, light bites, craft beers, wines and live music, so maybe something to check out if/when you return. Thank you so much, again!
Great Rowing Home Base

Best regards,
Kim
Great Family get together

Exceptional stay at a great house; loved the beaches!!!!!
Location
Conveniently located near Nathan Benderson Park and University, in walking distance to Ringling Museum (one of the world's best collections of Baroque & Renaissance art), Ca'D'Zan (John Ringling residence), Asolo Theater, Muse Restaurant, the Bay, 10 minutes from downtown Sarasota, St. Armand's Circle, and beaches! Very short walk to Bay where you can fish, watch for dolphins & manatees, and kayak. You can enter Bay at end by the large fish statue for fishing or kayaking, but water shoes recommended.
