Nice, comfortable, cozy home in a quiet neighborhood, close to everything. The house had everything we needed for our stay. If you are planning on heading to the beach, check the house before you go buy supplies. It is equipped with sun shades, wagons, boogie boards, sand toys etc. This was perfect for my family of 4 (2 kids) We will definitely stay there again if we come back to Sarasota.

This location was ideal, close to the airport, grocery stores and downtown. A little congested with traffic at peak times but also easy to find alternative routes to bypass the gridlocked traffic. 2-3 block walk to the water for sunsets and views of the Ringling bridge.

The house was clean, easy to walk in to and use it like a home away from home. Also had a nice simple pet friendly yard. Sent a couple messages to owners who were quick to respond and helpful. Pretty close to a bunch of beaches also. All around worth it!

About the host

Hosted by Kirby

Host profile image
My name is a Kirby and I was born and raised in Denver. I love to travel and learn about the history of new places as well as the people and their stories and they way they approach life. Avid animal lover and have a wolfadoodle and 2 cats with Cameron.

Why they chose this property

We have come to the area for years but over covid spent a month in Sarasota exploring and riding a bike around town and fell in love with the little Goldielocks feel of the area ( not too big, not too small). The indian Beach sapphire shores area has a rich history and it’s got this jungle feel 2 blocks to the water with all these amazing huge homes but it’s a really old neighborhood so with all this lush overgrown greenery, it’s really peaceful and clean and nice. Being by the school ensures the safety of the area but it’s also really quiet and we don’t mind that at all and love wandering the hood in the evenings around sunset. It’s also super close to downtown and lido beach which is our favorite.

What makes this property unique

One block away you have this adorable local coffee shop/bookstore, a local bar with good food and fancy cocktails open until 2 am, and a Starbucks, Walgreens, grocery, dunkin all within 2 blocks so it’s walkable but not in all the busy areas and so it feels like you have the best of both worlds
