I can't say enough about the house and especially Larisa, the host. The house was perfect and the pool was a huge bonus. We've never rented a place with a pool before and we were so glad we did. Larisa was super responsive and gave us great information. When she noticed the beach chairs had seen better days, she immediately got new ones and brought them back the same day! Best host and best VRBO experience ever! Thanks Larisa!!

Amazing

We didn’t check in till around 2am and the house was super easy to find. Exactly like it was described. We enjoyed the pool and loved having the availability to use it whenever we wanted to. The siesta key beach was very close and just about any kind of restaurant you could want all within a few min. Beds super comfortable, plenty of towels and washcloths. Would definitely stay there again

Perfect place for a family

We had the best time here, not only was this area great for a family but this house was perfect. Great space, all the amenities you need, and the pool was the golden ticket. For the days we just stayed back to relax, the kids were able to swim and plan in the back porch area, bonus that it is completely screened in so no bugs bothered us. We would definitely come back and stay here again!

We could not have asked for a better place to stay! The house is 10 minutes from Siesta Key Beach, and the owner even provides beach chairs, an umbrella and towels. Such a blessing when you are flying and trying to pack light! While we don’t cook much on vacation, the house was well stocked with anything you could possibly need. And then of course there is the pool which was just amazing to have right out the back door. We are so thankful we could take our mini Doxie with us as well. The house is clean and just as described. Thank you for allowing us to stay here, we will definitely be back!!

About the host

Host profile image

Hi! I’m Larisa 😊
Originally from Moldova, I’ve called Sarasota home since 1995. I’m a local realtor who absolutely loves this area — the beaches, sunsets, theater, dancing, and of course our beautiful Florida sunshine 🌴

Hosting gives me the chance to share a little piece of the lifestyle I love so much. I truly enjoy helping guests relax, unwind, and experience Sarasota like a local. Whether you're here for Siesta Key, great dining, or just some peaceful beach time, I’m happy to host you and give you space to enjoy it all — while always being just a call or text away if you need anything.

Hope to welcome you soon!

Why they chose this property

Why You’ll Love the Gulf Gate Neighborhood
The Gateway to Siesta Key
Gulf Gate is famous for being the "gateway" to the world-renowned white sands of Siesta Key Beach. You are just a quick 5-minute drive (or a breezy bike ride) over the bridge to the shoreline, allowing you to beat the beach traffic while staying in a peaceful, private community.
One of the rarest features in Sarasota is walkability, and Gulf Gate has it. The "Gulf Gate Village" is a charming collection of several blocks packed with:
Diverse Dining: Everything from authentic Italian and gourmet sushi to the best tacos and delis in town.
Local Nightlife: Cozy pubs, craft beer taprooms, and late-night spots that give the neighborhood a fun, energetic soul.
Boutique Shopping: Quirky gift shops, vintage finds, and local bakeries are all right around the corner.
You don’t have to travel far for the essentials. You are walking distance or a 2-minute drive to Sarasota Square Mall, Publix, Costco, and a variety of fitness centers. Whether you’re looking for a formal dinner or a quick grocery run, everything is within a mile of your front door.
While the village is vibrant and "happening," the streets where the homes sit (like yours!) are incredibly quiet, safe, and family-friendly. It’s a neighborhood where people walk their dogs and wave to neighbors—a true slice of the "Old Florida" lifestyle with a modern, trendy twist.

What makes this property unique

With a private lake right in your backyard, what more could you ask for in a vacation rental? 🌴 Just minutes from the renowned Siesta Key Beach 🏖️ and a variety of unique eateries, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offers fully furnished, an open-air layout, and aminate flooring. 🏡 Lounge by the heated pool 🏊‍♂️ or gaze at the stars at night 🌌 – you'll find the relaxation you desire and more! ✨
