This is our 2nd Sarasota rental - it’s close to the beach but not walkable. No loud passer-by noise. Close to bike paths, shopping, night life, etc. Uber will take you 5 miles to all the action of new hip Sarasota or Siesta Key
What makes this property unique
Quiet and private but just 3 blocks to both community pools
