Sara is a very gracious host and the property is absolutely beautiful! We had super easy access to all of the beaches we wanted to see and enjoyed having our jungle oasis with private pool to cool off in at the end of the day. Mornings on the pool deck enjoying my coffee were glorious. We will be back! We couldn’t have been more pleased with this stay.

My stay at Tropical Beach/Town Studio Apartment in Sarasota was just what I was looking for. I was there for two weeks and the location was perfect for me - I walked everywhere - downtown, to Southside Village, Publix, restaurants, etc. The accommodation was just lovely - clean, comfy bed, beautiful bathroom with jetted tub, outside patio with table and chairs and lounge chairs and access to the owners' pool that is amazing. So many amenities were provided - lots of towels, hair dryer, shampoo, soap, coffee/tea, sugar, salt/pepper, paper towels, etc. When needing to contact the owner, she responded immediately.

30 years have gone by and my sister and I returned to visit Sarasota where we once lived. Had so much fun shopping, nightlife (Mollys Pub on Maine Street) BEST expresso martini! We spent time on Siesta Key beach and also did a boat tour to see dolphins and birds. Weather was great! So fun and we would happily stay at Sunny Sara’s again!

Perfect for a short term stay. Close and convenient to beaches, great restaurants and local attractions. Sara was a wonderful, helpful Hostess and we enjoyed our visit with her. Our only regret was that the pool was not heated. Otherwise, quite enjoyable.

Heated pools are listed as a prime feature and stated clearly. Nightly rates double reflecting this expensive amenity. Sarasota weather is primarily high-90s most residential pools are not heated. Fortunately the majority of the year people love the pool temperature, floating on a raft and my close proximity to the #1 beach in the country.

Perfect little place close to everything!

Sara’s bungalow was perfect for our stay in Florida! We had a long drive from Michigan but she was very quick with responses and accommodating to our arrival. Beautiful, quiet neighborhood. Being so close to everything helped us check everything off our list and much more! The pool was perfect for the high 90 degree weather we had as well when we weren’t feeling the beach. Sara was so sweet and inviting and we hope to return soon!

The property was great! We did have a few issues, however they were mostly fixed. I loved the extras, she had available, which really saved us for our lacrosse tournament! The umbrella, chairs and cooler saved us so much money and I am very grateful! As a club team parent, these tournaments can be very costly. Thank you!

Wonderful Studio Coastal Cottage with Large Beautiful Pool area

My wife and I stayed at the cottage from 2/6 - 2/19 2023 and enjoyed the extra large flat screen TV, the very large walk in shower, the over size large king bed, and the wall closet with shelves to store your clothes and suitcases. Although the kitchen area was small it was very manageable. The large pool and the decorative pool area was inviting. Sunny (Sara) our host was very attentive and available with any questions we had during our stay.

We enjoyed our stay at this fabulous guest house close to everything...siesta key, Sarasota, shopping, beaches, and more. Wonderful location and even more wonderful accommodations. Very clean and nicely remodeled with beautiful modern finishes. The large king sized bed had a great view of the backyard. We loved the large shower and although we didn’t use the private patio, jetted garden tub, nor the pool, we appreciated that those items were there for us if we’d had more time. The hostess was fabulous and we enjoyed talking with her. She went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed during our stay.

This Tropical Paradise was amazing. We loved it. The only thing we did not love was we could not utilize the pool as it was too cold although beautiful to look at. We did not love the bed it was uncomfortable and collapsing at the base of the bed my husband and I did not sleep well at all. The furniture was very uncomfortable as well. We would definitely suggest investing in new beds and a comfortable place to sit. We make the best situation no matter where we go and where we stay. The inside and outside is breathtaking beautiful🌴🌴

About the host

Hosted by Sara J Utz

Host profile image
As a Sarasota native I grew up on Lido key, we played in the surf, rode our bikes everywhere from island to island, we jumped off the bridges, went spear fishing and never wore shoes. Sarasota was a sleepy little beach town and childhood here was pure nirvana! Old Florida charm may only be in photos now, but Sarasota grew in so many wonderful ways that today's exciting, vibrant beauty has kept me forever enchanted with her shores.

Why they chose this property

This prime locations allows getting everywhere in minutes, beaches, shopping, dining, entertainment, without getting caught in traffic that swells in season. I can walk or ride a bike to Siesta key with out a worry about beach or sunset traffic and no place to park!

What makes this property unique

My slice of heaven is like having a quiet tropical resort, floating in the pool on a raft, feeling the warm sun, watching the palm trees swaying and the sound of the Not a crowded pool with screaming children splashing, crying babies and parents yelling out warnings. Here it is Zen, chill and relaxing and yet we are in the heart of it all!
