Welcome to Florida!
In addition to our beautiful beaches and sunshine, Florida’s nature, trees, and climate can sometimes attract unwelcome insect visitors like palmetto bugs, mosquitoes, flies, bees, ants, and wasps.
Our property is located in a humid subtropical area, so it's also normal to see wildlife like squirrels, birds, raccoons, snakes, bats, spiders, and occasionally small rodents.
We take every measure to prevent pests with regular professional pest control.
If a bug sneaks inside, feel free to evict it yourself, or let us know, we’ll be happy to re-treat the property if needed.
To help prevent these visitors, avoid leaving doors open for long periods and don’t leave food or crumbs unattended inside or outside.
Refunds, discounts, or negative reviews will not be accepted for wildlife or insect sightings; thanks for understanding.
After all, it’s all part of the Florida experience!

Very good
Reviews are presented in chronological order, subject to a moderation process, and verified unless otherwise labelled.
No internet despite advertising it, some electrical and refrigerator/freezer issues, could have provided instructions on door locks and other features (A/C, dehumidifier).
It’s a low end property. The only plus is the price…

Response from VrboOwner on 5 Apr 2025
We offer a property with all the basic amenities in an excellent location in downtown Sarasota, at a very competitive price. The apartment is clean, functional, and exactly as shown in the photos and video provided in the listing — which are available for review before booking.
If you are expecting a five-star luxury experience at this price point, or if you have particularly high demands, this may not be the right fit for you.
Additionally, we reached out to you multiple times during your stay to check if everything was okay or if you needed anything, but we received no response. Communication should be mutual to ensure a better guest experience
