We had a positive experience staying at Linda’s duplex in Osprey. Linda was a lovely host and even furnished us with beach chairs and a cabana . The place was spotless & location was convenient for us as we explored most of the Sarasota, Venice & Naples area. Highly recommended staying at this lovely duplex.

It was such a pleasure meeting you and your husband during your stay with us. I'm happy to provide items that make your stay more enjoyable. We would love to host you again soon!
Upon entering the property, we felt it was clean, bright and very welcoming. We loved the decor and the nice spaces in this two bedroom, two bath home. We thought the location was perfect, right across the main street is Walmart for quick grocery items, and we liked the amenities including a kettle for hot tea, a coffeemaker and a fully equipped kitchen! We would have liked to have more than two beach towels, but we made do with two. The laundry room was convenient for washing clothes and did not smell musty, like some homes' washing machines. Overall, such a great stay, close to some of the best beaches Florida has to offer. Osprey was a nice little area that we felt safe and comfortable in. Thanks for letting us stay and for all of the quick communications!

About the host
Hosted by Lynn (aka Linda)
I am originally from a small town outside of Nashville, Tennessee. I left town right after graduating high school and have since traveled all over the world. When I bought my home, I chose to become a host so I could bring a little leisure to guests that matches the hospitality I receive during my own journeys.
Why they chose this property
I chose this neighborhood for its location near the beach. We are far enough from the water to be safe from flooding or surges, but close enough that we can make a spur-of-the-moment decision for a beach trip. We are also within walking distance to grocery stores and restaurants, which is a huge win for guests who prefer not to drive everywhere. And when we aren't in peak season, this location is tranquil.
What makes this property unique
We are so close to local attractions like Nokomis Beach, Siesta Keys beach, and Oscar Scherer State Park, yet we are still in a relatively quiet location.
