This is our 2nd year in S Sarasota and our 2nd house with Alice as a host (which we have learned is a big component of short term house rental). We would have been in the first house again this year if it wasn’t already taken for Feb 2023. This house offered the same neat, clean accommodations—tastefully decorated with comfortable beds. Check-in was easy.
House is located on a somewhat busy street, but in a quiet, well kept neighborhood. We enjoyed the screened in porch for dinners and the privacy of the fenced-in backyard, along with the fire pit on cool nights. There was an ample supply of bath towels and bedding. Kitchen was stocked with plenty of dinnerware and glasses; basic cookware and bakeware items; and a choice of Keurig machine or standard drip for coffeemaker. Thermostat to regulate heat & AC was easy to operate for comfortable temperatures.
We were within walking distance of Detwiler’s market, which we found to be a great, affordable market for produce and meats. A plus with was the Farmer’s market in the Phillipi Estate Park on Wednesdays (Oct-April). The bike ride from the house to Siesta Beach was about 25 minutes.
Alice was always responsive and even replaced the grill while we were there. This house offers everything you need for a comfortable stay.
