Everything we needed was there at hand. The only problem was how noisy it was with the family staying above us. You could hear them walking on the floor, moving chairs, etc. That woke us up very early in the morning. Also, the shades in the guest BR do not keep the sun out in the morning. Availability of a gas grill on the property would have been useful.

This is our 5th yr coming back to this place and it never disappoints! Our hosts Steven and Susan are so gracious! Never intrusive but immediately available should the occasion arise. The condo is kept immaculate! Fully updated kitchen bathrooms etc. furnishings! All the linens, soaps , paper goods, cleaning products, appliances, dishes, glassware, pots and pans always new and kept up to date!Brand new washer/dryer to handle any capacity etc. Steve even replaced loveseat with a brand new one while down here! Very tastefully decorated by Sue of course! She actually showed up one night with a brand new beach umbrella for us. Sturdy beach chairs, coolers and a standup wagon to carry all this to beaches. Lots of beach towels and good quality towels and bedding. The living room has lots of comfy pillows on sofa and loveseat. Dining table with new chairs plus another table in breakfast nook with nice chairs. The master bedroom, en-suite bathroom and walk-in closets are extremely spacious. This place is very comfortable for us and our families who have come down in the past.The 2nd bedroom and sleeper sofa make it easy for our children and grandchildren to enjoy a comfortable stay.The lanai is perfect for those early mornings and late evenings to relax in after long days at beaches.In 5 years we’ve seen the Gulf Gate estates area flourish.With so many restaurants, pizzerias and breakfast places to choose from. Siesta Key beach is less than 10 mins away! We Love this place!

Nice place to enjoy Sarasota without the tourist chaos

We had a nice stay with our daughter, husband and two pre-school grandkids; we were able to enjoy the pool with the kids, local eateries were great, and a we found a nice boat rental option which was the highlight of the week. The condo itself was nicely appointed for our small group and the option to enjoy the lanai for coffee in the AM and wine in the PM was truly the relaxing location we were hoping to have!

Comfortable place to take in Sarasota and surrounding areas

We were two couples staying to celebrate a 30 year wedding anniversary. The condo was clean and efficient. The location was convenient to downtown Sarasota, taking a drive up the keys to Anna Maria, renting a boat for the day, of course a day on the beach at Siesta Key, and even for a day trip south to see the Everglades. Plenty of casual restaurants and bars in close proximity and we enjoyed a couple of pretty nice ones as well.

This condo worked great for us. The location was perfect and the condo had everything we needed. It was so well stocked. The owner was very responsive and willing to help with anything. There was one glitch at check-in, but the owner made up for it and apologized. It may have even been VRBO’s fault. Anyway, I would gladly rent this place again.

Amazing hospitality and friendly neighbors!

Steve was outstanding. We had everything we needed for our stay and more. Steve allowed us to borrow his bikes for which we were so vey grateful. We had been plenty of towels, and high quality beach chairs, umbrella and a wagon. The pans provided were extremely high quality- thank you! The pool was large(6'6" at deep end! And was heated so we could enjoy it daily. The neighbors are friendly- some permanent residents and some renting- we really enjoyed our time here. We usually stay close to downtown Sarasota but decided to try Gulf Gate this time. There are many fantastic restaurants in the area and 10-15 min to Siesta Key beach. Thanks for a wonderful stay!!

Best VRBO Experience Ever!

We’ve stayed at numerous VRBO rentals and this one topped the list. The host welcomed us with a fridge of essentials (and ice cream too!). They were very responsive (and kind) to us in a very timely manner. Perfect location to explore Sarasota. The final day we were there, we needed to stay due to an unforeseen issue. They were so generous and allowed us to stay the full day and were extremely understanding that we needed the extra time. We would 1,000% stay here again!

The stay was wonderful! The space is tastefully decorated and has beautiful granite countertops, new appliances, and a cozy breakfast nook. The beds were very comfortable. Both bathrooms have nicely tiled showers, and I really enjoyed the rain-style showerhead in the tile master shower.

Wonderful Siesta Condo!

We loved this condo. Very clean, modern and comfortable. The kitchen is really well equipped with all essentials and bonus of Tupperwares, ziplocks and staple spices, which is rare in rentals. We also loved how spacious and beautiful the space was. 2 full baths was amazing for my 2 kids. As was having a full washer/dryer (with soap provided!) and dishwasher. Everything was super handy and Steve was super attentive and responsive.There was a handy stroller for beach chairs and coolers as well. And even a pickle ball set!!! We had a blast!I thought the pool was right next to the property based on the photos, but you have to walk across a couple buildings to get to it and it’s shared with the entire complex (there were usually 2-4 people there). Nonetheless, it’s a lovely and heated pool and the drive to Siesta is just 15 min away. We enjoyed both!!We will definitely be back!

Comfortable condo

Very much enjoyed our time and appreciate the opportunity to stay at the condo for 20 days in March. Our stay was cut 10 days short b/c of CV19. The owners were very responsive and kind, reimbursing for the change. The condo itself was clean and comfortable and very well appointed. Plenty of kitchen items and basic supplies.. very comfortable beds and living room seating. Only used the pool once but it was nice. The owners were very responsive to any inquiries and came over in person to assist. The location was good...less than 2 miles from the Legacy bike trail which we used almost daily, a short distance to Siesta Key...and not a bad drive to Venice. A short drive to food stores, Costco, etc. Would love to return if it stays as a rental!

About the host

Hosted by Steve

Host profile image
We are family owned and operated. My daughter, Allison, has been taking a larger role in scheduling and preparing our properties. I as a retired Dad in the family oversee the maintenance, repair, and remodeling. As a family we have been hosted in vacation rentals throughout the country and abroad. We strive to use these experiences to provide our renters the best we possibly can.

Why they chose this property

This property was acquired for family use during visits here in Sarasota. It was only rented for part of the year to repeat renters over the past decade. We decided to do some renovations and make it available through this network. The location is superb and we think it is reasonably priced for his area. Gulf Gate is a popular area and the village here hosts a growing variety of restaurants and shops.

What makes this property unique

We take special care to go above and beyond for all our guests at this property. We have enjoyed Premier Host status for years. Please see our customer feedback. Gulf Gate Library is steps away. Gulf Gate Village is walking or biking distance. Mall and movie theatres are close by. There are a host of cultural activities in Sarasota that are easily accessible. Biking the Legacy trail is easy from this condo. Nearby Beaches are superb.
