We were totally impressed with the everything - from Host’s prompt responses to beautifully provided and organized space. The location was great. It’s highly recommended and we look forward to return in the near future!
This is our 3rd year staying at this property. We love the location and convince of a quiet neighborhood off university road. We also appreciate the updated amenities and the bed topper is a huge plus for us!
We loved staying here! It was well located for quick access to Sarasota, Bradenton, and everywhere we needed to go. Super quiet, private, and in a great neighborhood! We will look here first for our next trip!

Edith the host, was very responsive and gave great information with details..I would choose this property again
I was in town to see family. This was the perfect place to lay my head each night. The bed was very comfortable and the room was spacious. There was a cute little patio as well. If I come back to town, I will definitely be staying here again.
Clean & cozy. Loved the big walk in shower. The neighborhood was quiet & close to dining, shopping & downtown. We hope to be able to stay here again soon.

Stayed for one month. Host is very quick to respond to inquiries. Place is close to good food options, grocery stores, and shopping.
We were at at wedding at Lakewood Ranch country club and did not want to drive an hour home late at night . Our stay was short and sweet but very comfortable ! Good location ! We will be back !
This is a studio with a kitchenette. Unit is very clean and exactly what we needed for our stay. Location is close to shopping and dining and neighborhood feels safe. Would definitely stay her again.
A very convenient, comfortable, and clean private room if you're staying in Lakewood Ranch. The landlord is very helpful as well and easy to communicate with!
We were in town for a conference and just needed a place to sleep. This did that, plus went over and above. It is cute, cozy, in a great location, and I DARE you to find one speck of dust!! We would 100% stay here again when in the area.

Aside from the bed mattress being a little too hard for my taste (Lol), The property was quaint, clean, safe, and easy to find. Edith was easy to communicate with and always responded immediately. Definitely a great spot for a quick get-away.

Cute place
Property itself was just as listed. Everything we needed for our weekend stay. However, check in info wasn't recd until after we arrived at location, which took 45 min to contact someone.
Perfect place to sleep and shower. Felt private and safe. Looked newly renovated, comfy and, most importantly, VERY CLEAN. Would highly recommend. Host was delightful.
The property was EXACTLY as depicted. Kitchenette had everyhing one would need, the property was spotless.
Neighborhood extremely safe.
Host was very responsive.
The temperature can be controlled to meet anyone's comfort.
Bed perfectly firm.
Would stay here again in a heartbeat.
