A Great Escape

We had an incredible time at this VRBO! The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The patio was a great reprieve, and we loved starting our mornings with coffee overlooking the garden. The host was super responsive and provided great local recommendations. The location was perfect—close to everything but still peaceful and private. We would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend!

Well appointed VRBO in Sarasota

The cottage was the perfect location in a beautiful natural area. It was nicely furnished and immaculate. The host were very thoughtful. Charging stations, coffee and tea were available, it was nicely furnished and had a complete kitchen. I received excellent communication from the host. I hope it will be available the next visit to Sarasota.

Rowers paradise

Fantastic location very close to Nathan Benderson Park. The "Row House" sits on beautiful old Florida property, with thoughtful amenities. We enjoyed a clean and comfortable stay. Pro tip #1 If you are going to NBP or University Town Center, rent the scooters...just do (they fold up so you can even take them in your car), #2 Find time to enjoy the backyard swing at night under the lights, #3 Play ping pong. This is a hidden gem; one we would be happy to return to.

What makes this property unique

***This home is on well water. We use a state of the art treatment system but on rare occasions there may be a slight sulphur smell. We want to ensure you that it is still safe to use! Letting the water run for a little while will help clear the lines and get the water smelling back to normal :)

***There is a security camera at the front door, facing away from the home (outside of the home. NO cameras inside the Crew House).

***This is a guest house that is to the left of the main home on the property. The main home is occupied year-round by our family, but you will have complete privacy during your stay!

***There is a washer and dryer available for guest use in the garage.
