Supportive and responsive host!

We had a wonderful stay with our infant daughter and were able to fully enjoy the property as well as the beach with the many provided amenities! The hot tub and layout of the house helped us enjoy the Florida weather even while our little one napped.

Great relaxing stay in a clean well equipped house

My wife and I enjoyed our stay at the Turtle Nest. This house was very clean (with attention to detail) and supplied with everything we needed. At the end of the day, we spent most of our time at the house in the back veranda. This was our first time to Sarasota so we wanted to spend a week in a house and investigate the city and the local islands. We wanted to rent a house in a location close to the bay and downtown. The location of this house worked well for us because it was central to where we wanted to go. During the day we relaxed on all the local beaches on the islands, spent time downtown, at the UTC, checking out restaurants, and hitting the local trails. There are plenty of pubic beaches with good parking. The drive to any of the beaches did not take long. This worked so well that we decided to do this again and not rent on one of the islands when we come again.

House was nice, location was ok

The house was nice --we really enjoyed the Florida/back room -- nice to hang out and play games at the table or watch tv. It was nice to have the front room and the back room. We loved the hot tub. The bedrooms were fine -- though it would be nice to have a mirror and dresser in the 3rd bedroom (with bunk beds). The 2nd bath could use some updating. The neighborhood around the house was dated, a little run down. And very residential. We would have enjoyed a neighborhood with sidewalks where we could walk/ride bikes. For us, we think we would stay closer to the beach or in a newer/nicer area. This house was priced well for where we were location.

About the host

Hosted by Anna

I was born and raised in Poland but spent most of my life in the USA, the Chicago land area. I’ve been working in the financial field for the past 20 years. I enjoy people and I love to provide my customers with a highest degree of care. Sincere hospitality and attention to details has been in my heart since a very young age.

I am very active by nature. When not working and spending time with my family, I enjoy exercising (Calanetics), playing ping-pong and practicing ballroom dancing. I used to play professional volleyball when I was younger, and I hope to return to this sport one day.

I also love to travel and meet people. One day, I would like to visit Africa, New Zealand and Paris.

I look forward to meeting you!
