The garden area is lush, quiet and relaxing with sunshine filtering through a canopy of 200 year old oak trees overhead. Comfortable outdoor sofa and accent chairs as well as a patio table and chairs set with a backdrop of Giant Birds of Paradise and thick bushy palms. The cafe lights walk with you from your car to apartment. A private gem walking distance to everything. Private off street parking and washer and dryer with everything you need to do laundry. . Beach chairs, huge beach towels, beach bag, boogie boards, innertubes, snorkels, beach umbrellas all available to you. Dog shower. New mattresses and smart TVs with all of the movie channels. ****************When you book your flights and you get into Sarasota at 2:30 THAT is the time to figure out if you’ll pick up groceries during that time until check-in or would like to ask for an early check in. One hour before check-in is not. I CANNOT DO SAME DAY EARLY CHECK-IN REQUESTS FOR ANY REASON. If you request it at the same time you book your flight I will accommodate you. There will be a $100 deposit for this but if you show up early you get your money back. If you show up at the regular check-in time after we’ve worked hard to get your apartment ready early I will be unable to refund your deposit. If you’re driving I cannot accommodate early check-in

Our getaway was perfect in every way! The space was immaculate, private, well appointed and cozy. It was located in an adorable, historic and walkable section of Sarasota. Our host Christie was friendly and accommodating, and made sure we had everything we needed. She went out of her way to ensure we knew where all of the amenities were (laundry and dog wash station, etc.). We were traveling with our 2 dogs, which can be stressful, but she immediately put us at ease. We so appreciated her hospitality.

You were both such easy and fun people Total pleasure!
We had a great stay! The unit is very cozy and very artfully decorated. This apartment is located downstairs. The neighborhood has restaurants within a few minute walk and a Sprouts a very quick drive away. We were very comfortable during our stay.
The apartment was amazing and the perfect location for anyone visiting Sarasota. It was just the perfect place downtown and just 10min drive away to lido Key. Christie was an excellent host and made sure we had everything we needed for the stay. It was very clean and the perfect for the occasion. Large bedroom and a spacey living room. I recommend anyone staying here!
Lovely little suite in a convenient location to downtown activities and the waterfront. Appreciated the fine art displayed, which gave it a homey atmosphere. Nice outdoor area.
Our host went above and beyond. The place was clean, quiet and extremely well organized. She happily accommodated our early check-in and even had treats for our dog. Very close to shops and restaurants. We would love to come back!
The highlight of this mini vacation trip was the host Christie, she was very helpful and communicative. Telling me all kind of info for our trip. The apartment was clean, spacious and perfect for a couple. a nice patio to chat and relax after a long day. Very good restaurants around, walking distance and the beach is beautiful. We went to see the sunset and it is spectacular.

A small, but clean and cozy apartment within walking distance to downtown restaurants and cafés, and the marina and more. We enjoyed 4 weeks there with minimal use of the car.
a perfect spot for an important weekend, at a great price
The property was perfectly located for our 3-day stay, and the owner was so accomodating to our needs. The entrance to our unit was at the back of the property (easily accessible), where there is a lovely and secluded area for morning tea/coffee or an evening chat. The kitchenette had everything we needed, and the shower was delightful on warm Florida days. So grateful-
Everything about this rental is charming! Real artwork, live plants and flowers - inside and out! Fresh updated bathroom. Cozy romantic back yard. Minutes from Main Street and St. Armands. Off street parking. And the host, Christie, is a pleasure to communicate with. We had a great stay!
This condo is a great place to stay if you want to walk downtown to some outstanding restaurants! Great helpful and friendly host with great communication. Easy check in and out.
Would definitely stay again.
We only stayed for a short time, we met the owner on arrival, who was very sweet and helpful. We were the only one’s there so we had the whole place to ourselves.
It’s really close to a big park, with tennis facility and walkable to the marina and a downtown area.
