We had a wonderful stay! The property is beautiful, spacious, comfortable, and very welcoming. It was a great place to enjoy quality time with our family, and we really enjoyed the pool and all the amenities the home has to offer. The house has a lovely atmosphere and truly feels like a home away from home. Tricia was very kind, responsive, understanding, and easy to communicate with throughout our stay. We truly appreciated her hospitality and enjoyed our time at the property. We would definitely recommend this beautiful home to other families looking for a relaxing stay in Sarasota. Thank you, Tricia, for your hospitality!

Fabulous place for our group of 4 adults and five teenagers. We were in Sarasota for a family wedding and this property was close to everything and well set up for a large group. Everyone loved the pool! The house is in a quiet, lovely neighborhood and felt like a home away from home. We would stay here again.

Best Vrbo Experience We’ve Ever HadWe cannot say enough wonderful things about the Sarasota Sunshine Bungalow. From the moment we booked, the owner went completely above and beyond. Due to unexpected bad weather affecting our travel, they were incredibly accommodating and flexible — something that meant more to us than we can express. That level of kindness and understanding is rare and truly appreciated.The home itself is absolutely top-notch. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered. It had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The kitchen was incredibly well-equipped, and the furnishings and beautiful coastal decor made it feel like a private boutique retreat with all the comforts of home.The backyard and pool area are stunning — private, lush, and peaceful. Surrounded by mature palms, it truly feels like your own secluded tropical oasis. The wall-to-wall sliding doors create that perfect indoor-outdoor Florida lifestyle. Morning coffee in the sun, afternoon swims, and evenings under the stars made the experience unforgettable.The location is ideal — tucked into a quiet neighborhood yet just minutes from Siesta Key. And the transparency in pricing with no hidden fees was the cherry on top.This was hands-down the best owner and best Vrbo home we’ve ever experienced. We would return in a heartbeat and recommend it without hesitation.Thank you for such an incredible stay!

About the host

Why they chose this property

I choose this neighborhood because it is a quiet, family friendly. The neighborhood is only four miles from Siesta Key but away from the hustle and bustle. A short 15 minute drive to Siesta Key makes the trip to the beach quick but then when you're ready to go home and relax, this is the perfect neighborhood to retreat to.

What makes this property unique

The property is all one level. It is a quiet, private retreat with a private pool. The walls that line the pool patio open up completely to make the space feel like you're a part of the outdoors. The pool is lined with a liana to keep bugs out while you relax by the pool. The backyard is secluded from neighbors with the landscape and fence. The plush, large backyard makes it fun for kids to run around and enjoy the space. We also have pineapples during season and mango that can be enjoyed by guests.
