Sweet Home Sarasota

The images of this lovely property are 100% accurate, but they do not completely capture the warmth of this roomy, sweet suburban home. The kitchen has lots of cupboards filled with anything you could need, even junk drawers. The open kitchen and living room layout is attractive and convenient. The sunroom and patio are appealing, but I am sad to say were rarely used, along with the grill, bikes, and more. The bedrooms have large closets and the master bedroom has a comfy bed. It's a quiet neighborhood too. Any questions are answered in the detailed instructions left by the hosts. And this house is close to everything! Everything. Minutes away you have many small international restaurants on Gateway Ave. There is a Publix less than five minutes away. Going on a boat cruise or a trolley tour, get there quickly. Main Street, St. Armands Circle, and theaters are within 15 minutes. The beach, didn't make it there, but close by too. You feel like you are home when you are here.

Amazing month

The Halfmoon house was one of the best places we have stayed at. Gulf gate is a wonderful area with great neighborhood and lots of restaurants and shops so close by. The house was so nicely decorated and everything we needed to plus lots of extras. We really enjoyed the backyard with so much privacy. Can't say enough nice things about our landlord who let us check in early. Don't hesitate to book this home for a great vacation. Also very close to beaches and a great farmer's market!

Why they chose this property

This neighborhood will let you fit right in with the locals. Easy drive or bike ride to Siesta Key. Close enough to the coast to enjoy those gentle sea breezes. Local shops, quaint bistros and pubs, a top rate Publix just down the street and favorite chain restaurants from Ruth's Chris to Long Horn to Mellow Mushroom Pizza. Close to all the best at a great price.
