Thank you for the kind review, Paul! It was a pleasure to host you. We hope to host you again here in sunny Sarasota.
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.

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!

We had a great time in Sarasota/Siesta Key.
This condo is 5/5, close to everything and located in a quiet neighborhood.
Everything advertised on the listing is accurate which made our stay wonderful. The condo is very clean and roomy. Steve is really nice and we had no communication issues with him while staying at his condo.

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.
We loved this condo, perfect for our family of 4, room enough to have family for dinner and our Christmas tree. Pool was nice, and the hosts were very kind and responsive. Condo was well stocked and I love that there were hooks for our towels, hoodies, jackets and hats! Easy drive to Siesta Key or Venice Beaches! Would definitely recommend!

We enjoyed hosting you. Thank you for the review and hope to see you again
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.

Thank you for your input. We hope to host you again.
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!

Beautiful with Great Updates, Wonderful Screen Porch, and Great Hosts!
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. Also, the screen porch was a favorite in the morning to read and evening for sunset.
Steve and Susan are great hosts. We even had a very nice box of Belgian cookies as a welcome surprise. I highly recommend this gem!

First of all we were nicely impressed with the drinks, coffee and cream especially purchased for us !!! The apartment has lots of towels, beach chairs, umbrella
Bed linen is good quality and clean. Also I liked that there was a bar soap made in Sarasota in the bathroom.
All we needed from dish soap to garbage bags.
Thank you Steve !!!

You are most welcome. We hope you can stay again with us in the future. Best Regards
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!!

Thank you for taking great care of our condo. We hope to host you again some day.
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!
This is our 3rd yr spending 2 months in this awesome condo!
Place is totally renovated making it very comfortable for either two or family with grandkids. Decorated tastefully with many accents to make it feel like “ home away from home”.
Place is fully stocked with towels, linens, extra pillows, beach towels, even coolers and beach chairs with umbrellas. Kitchen is also stocked with all the appliances you would normally have back at home.
This place is central to all. Shopping centers, grocery stores. Many choices for restaurants whether it’s just having a pizza or a night out with friends!
Of course can’t forget about how close you are to Siesta Beach! And all the other beaches along the way to Venice!
Let’s not forget downtown Sarasota with all it has to offer!
The heated pool at condo is definitely the place to be for a relaxing day!
And the best part is having great hosts like Steven & Susan who go all out to ensure your stay is the best ever!
Any questions Steven is always readily available.
Looking forward to next year!

About the host
Hosted by Steve
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.
