Perfect !

We brought our eight year old grandson to Sarasota to see the Baltimore Orioles in spring training. This was a perfect place to stay close to the stadium. A quiet neighborhood.The place had everything we needed and more. Kayla thought of everything! There was more than enough space for us. Clean and comfortable. Very welcoming. Kayla was very kind, responded immediately to any of our questions. I would definitely stay here again!

Impeccable, worth your stay

I booked this for a weekend college tour with my daughter. I doubt I have ever stayed in a rental with more attention to detail and your needs than this one. The moment you step in you feel like a friend is welcoming you to their home. She had all the extra touches I would have for a houseguest. Above and beyond in comparison to most rentals. My daughter would never have remembered what hotel we stayed in had I chosen that instead but she will always remember this home. She even said she was taking mental notes to be able to decorate her own apartment one day :) You can tell that Kayla enjoys and loves what she does. We will be back and highly recommend for anyone visiting the area.

An Owner who Cares!

We loved our stay at Kayla's place! Everything was super clean when we walked in, and she clearly put a lot of thought into stocking up on all the little things you need but might forget to pack. The neighborhood was perfect - easy to get everywhere we wanted to go. Definitely worth booking if you're heading to the area.

Great stay

We were in town for my grandsons first birthday and enjoyed our stay. The host had everything we needed and then some! We were not home very often but when we were it was comfortable and quiet. If you are looking for a nice and quiet place to stay for the week this is the place.

Absolutely gorgeous!!!

This property was just amazing. My husband and I celebrated our 22nd anniversary this weekend and we decided to do a 3 day trip to our favorite place. It is just like described and was perfect for us. The owner knows there stuff when it comes to cleanliness, accessories, and overall perfection with the set up. The hot tub at end of each day was sooo worth it alone. We spent a lot of time driving and walking around so this felt like heaven after a long day. The owner answered all our questions in a timely manner and was very respectful of our privacy. Thank you for a wonderful stay. We really enjoyed our "short" time away!

Wow!!!! Beautiful getaway !!!

I had an amazing stay. The home is beautiful, way better than the pictures. Very private and surrounded my so many things to do, places to see, and great food to eat. I enjoyed 3 different beaches with waters so blue. The host also has an amazing personality, very kind. Overall my experience was a 10/10! I will definitely reccomend this place for others of traveling to Sarasota.

Exceeds expectations!

Property was even better in person than the photos and description. It is very private; very warm and welcoming; very spacious and clean. The host seems to have anticipated our every need and the welcome basket of wine and goodies was a lovely touch. All the instructions and guidelines are very clear and precise. The neighborhood is very nice, with a lovely little park just two blocks away. It is all centrally located with easy access to the beach, nice restaurants, and the downtown waterfront. We will definitely look to stay here again if we return to Sarasota.
