Very tropical, private and peaceful, short walk to everything happening downtown
You’ll be very glad you chose to stay here. It’s walking distance to everything downtown, dozens of restaurants, live theater, galleries, ballet, opera, the bay, museums, Selby Gardens, and more. The neighborhood is cozy and quaint with unique architecture, 1920s bungalows, brick streets underfoot and a canopy of trees everywhere you walk. Your apartment is well appointed, comfortable and extremely clean. Art and sunshine are everywhere, vaulted ceilings, a wrap around bank of original 1920 windows and blackout curtains in the bedroom if you’d like to sleep late. The garden area has lush, tropical foliage everywhere. It’s quiet and relaxing with sunshine filtering through a canopy of 200 year old oak trees overhead. Comfortable outdoor sofa and chairs as well as a patio table set and grill with a backdrop of Giant Birds of Paradise and thick bushy palms. The cafe lights walk with you from your car to apartment. Truly a secluded gem with everything going just down the street. Beach chairs, beach towels and bag, boogie boards, innertubes, snorkels with goggles, beach umbrellas and bikes are yours for the taking. (We left the sea shells and seahorses at the beach!)

We had a nice stay! The area was quiet. The apartment was clean and comfy. It was in a good distance from the beach, food and shopping! The host was also a pleasure to talk to and would answer quick with any questions.
If you wish to stay in a wonderful area of Sarasota with great and easy access to downtown- this is your place! The unit is clean and comfortable with a touch of history! The privacy is also excellent. We were greeted warmly and enjoyed the visit. We do love downtown and walking. This location is also a very simple drive to area attractions such as St. Armand and Lido Beach. Highly recommend!
It was the perfect apartment in the perfect location. The owner was super responsive and very quickly to any questions I had. It was within walking distance of everything in Sarasota. It was nice and quiet and really cute. Definitely plan to stay here every time I visit. They even had an iron and a coffee maker and all the little things that I didn’t think I might need. Great location great owner.
We really enjoyed staying in The Treehouse. It was in the center of the Sarasota historic district and a minute's drive from everything we wanted to see and do. Christine was lovely to work with, and the apartment itself was perfect for what we needed. Very clean and cozy. If we end up in Sarasota again, we would certainly try to book this location.
We loved the location! The neighborhood is charming and walkable to downtown Sarasota. We loved the secluded garden that was so inviting. Unfortunately, weather didn’t permit us to take advantage of it. We hope to return!
Very clean and reasonable rates. Didn’t realize it was on the top floor. Kitchen was great for our needs. Loved being close to downtown restaurants. Would highly recommend.
Lots of sunshine and windows. Lovely local art in every room. Quiet and convenient location. Attentive and lovely host. Would come back in a heartbeat!
Wanted to see the sights and sounds of downtown Sarasota and this place provided the perfect location and comfortable feel. Christina was very attentive and welcoming. We were just a few blocks from downtown so it was very easy walking to restaurants and shops. Had a very nice stay and would definitely stay again!
We checked in on the later side and Christie was very accommodating. We loved the unit, the backyard and the location was perfect for a conference we were attending. What a great escape in the heart of downtown Sarasota with wonderful decor and exceptional host communications!

Host was welcoming. It was unfortunate that we missed any information indicating that the apartment was up a back set of stairs. The stone walkway to the back of the building was uneven and could be dangerous. After talking to the host, we discovered that the previous guests had taken her silverware, so we only had plastic ware for the first day. There was also very little choice in cookware (because we chose to eat in, that was a bit of a challenge). The bathtub and bathroom sink were slow draining. Host had forgotten to take care of that prior to our visit.The apartment itself was cozy and had some lovely character. AC worked fine.
