About the host
Hosted by Verlaine
My family & I are born and raised in Sarasota, Fl. I love Sarasota. It’s a beautiful city and has so many things to do. I love gardening and camping.
We enjoy hosting because we love an opportunity to share our wonderful city. Beaches are gorgeous with white sand. Ringling Arts Museum & Selby Botanical Gardens are a must see as well.
Unfortunately, it has become an expensive place to live. So hosting gives us an option to reduce cost of living. We’ve worked in home repair and remodeling for many years. So we like to keep our place looking top notch.
So come visit a perfect vacation hide away.

Why they chose this property
We love SouthGate Community because it is centrally located in Sarasota. Phillippi Creek runs behind our home which makes a nice view. The neighbor is quite and very safe. We’ve lived in SouthGate since 1988.
What makes this property unique
Guest who stay with us always comments on how great the unit is for their visit. Our kitchen is well equipped for all types of cooking plus new refrigerator ice maker which has door water/ice dispenser. Love the use of beach chairs, umbrella, etc., and it’s super clean and comfortable. Many mention the outdoors being beautiful and relaxing. ( some damage to garden from hurricanes in 2025, but still nice). We are in a very safe quite neighborhood. We have e-bikes and manual bike for small fee.
