A home from home

I stayed here because I had family at lido beach I was just 12 mins from a beautiful beach and some lovely shops and restaurants. It was lovely and quiet at the apartment and within walking distance to some local shops and restaurants. The apartment had everything you would need.

Downtown Sarasota Hide-hole

This is a very nicely appointed apartment. It is right sized for a single or couple. I found all the necessary items any renter would need. The landlord; Richard; was very supportive, available, and quickly tackled any issues I had. I highly recommend it to all renters interested in the downtown Sarasota area.

Great Sarasota experience

We were very pleasantly surprised at how nice downtown Sarasota is. We were within walking distance of many fine restaurants and stores. We were within biking distance of Lido and Siesta Key. It was overall a great experience. Richard was accessible when we needed. It is a small apartment but fine for the two of us and we really didn't spend our time sitting around anyway. As they say, Location Location Location.

Enjoyed our stay!

My wife and I had a pleasure of staying at this property for 1.5 months while exploring Florida’s west coast. The apartment is located in a great neighborhood, just a short drive to Sarasota downtown and Lido beach (our favorite!). There is a really nice park down the block, perfect for morning walks. The apartment was clean and had all of the necessary amenities. We had couple of requests and the owner took care of everything within a day. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate coming back.

Max, his wife and dog were great guests; polite, courteous and excellent communicators. They left the apartment spotless. Perhaps even cleaner than my extremely high standards I would have them back in a heartbeat.

Not what I is pictured rough area over garage

We arrived the house was not clean no hand Sanitizer electric issues with lights in kitchen, the owner was nice however I felt since I had to clean the place I should have received a refund at least on the cleaning I did after a long drive .. the area is scetchy and no cleaning supplies or enough towels. The apartment is over the garage, which renters at the front house park there cars so you have it being opened in the am and pm .. I thought we were staying in the main house I felt it was misleading would not stay again! Also there are electric issues this place is not safe VRBO your jeopardizing people’s lives by not knowing what your homes are dangerous! ( I have videos of all the issues and will be posting this dirty place and electric issues! I blame VRBO !!

Response from VrboOwner on 18 July 2021
I'm so sorry Shanie had issues. The listing clearly describes the unit as being over a garage. There are no known electrical problems and none were reported to me. The apartment and the large house on the same property were built to meet the highest construction codes. The apartment was cleaned just hours before her arrival by a service I've been using for 2 1/2 yrs to clean my six rental homes. This was the first cleaning complaint we have ever had. I offered to send someone over the very next day but Shanie insisted on doing any cleaning herself. There are always cleaning supplies and plenty of towels in the unit. If she had needed more towels, I would have provided them immediately. I take great pride in my homes and have been recognized as a Premier Host by VRBO and the equivalent by the other vacation rental services. The apartment is in a safe residential area near downtown Sarasota.
