Enjoyed everything about this property except the very loud morning noise of a spin class next door. Surprised Sarasota doesn’t have a noise ordinance.
This unit is in a wonderful location in historic downtown Sarasota. It’s easy to walk to a market (Whole Foods), many shops and restaurants, and to Bayshore Park and the Marie Selby Gardens. Parking is available on side streets, and proved not to be a problem throughout our stay. The unit is somewhat small, but cute and basically comfortable with lots of natural light. It is an older building, however, and you can hear activity in the adjacent apartment. There is a superb informal restaurant next door that advertises Sarasota’s best pizza and may be right. The host was welcoming and responsive to all of our questions. The VRBO listing is complete and accurate, and the website for the property (burnssquare.com) was also helpful in planning out trip.
We were very satisfied with our stay at Burns Square. The location was perfect and we we found the place very clean and our host was available for guidance of things that made our vacation perfect. We can highly recommend this place to friends and family for future visits.
Great Location and overall a nice property. Parking is a small problem. The car needs to be moved every 3 hours between 9:00 AM and 8:00 PM.

Convenient and Unexpectedly Cozy
This historic building, walk up apartment is centrally located in a very popular downtown area. The location had easy access to restaurants, galleries, and Sarasota sites as downtown has more commercial features. Enjoyed the walkability and adjacent Bay area walking paths. The owner was very accommodating and available for questions. My husband and I were comfortable with the apartment's features and building's artsy atmosphere. Parking is available, but not dedicated.
