About this property
Welcome to the Gecko Bungalow in charming Sarasota
Welcome to your perfect Sarasota escape! This recently remodeled, stylish, and cozy 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom retreat is ideally located just steps from the heart of downtown. Walk to the Saturday Farmers Market and cook up your market meal inspiration in our chef's kitchen or private patio, or catch a free trolley to Lido Beach or Siesta Key Beach. Whether you're here to explore the vibrant nightlife, savor local cuisine, or soak up the Florida sun, this spot puts you in the center of it all.
We will have all amenities for your furry member of the family as well as dog blankets for the furniture. We go to great lengths to keep the property clean and fur free for all guests. Your help is greatly appreciated including picking up after your pet if they happen to go to the bathroom on the property.
We will leave a guide for the area and recommended restaurants and night life for your pleasure.
While we walk to everything, please understand that definition is very subjective. Here are a few of the distances so you can gauge. If too far, inexpensive Ubers are very plentiful:
- Raffurty's Bar and Grill (8 min, .3mi)
-Cuba 1958 (7 min, .3mi)
-Mattison's City Grille (14 min, .6mi)
