wonderful beach getaway

The property was very clean. We were furnished with everything we needed: towels, linens, paper products, kitchen utensils, and even spices. We enjoyed being close to Nokomis Beach and the Legacy Bike Trail. Our host responded immediately to all questions or needs we had. We had a wonderful vacation!

About the host

Hosted by Ken Brand

Host profile image
Hello! My name is Ken and I am a Sarasota native and been involved in real estate and lending here since 2004. I am happy to answer any questions about the home regarding bookings or if you need anything during your stay. I do not live on site, both sides of this duplex are vacation rentals, but I am relatively close if needed.

Why they chose this property

This home makes a great vacation rental due to it's location West of the Trail and only 0.9 miles to the beach. Many great restaurants and shops are close enough to walk. It is centrally located on the gulf coast just 10 minutes south of Sarasota and very close to Osprey, Venice and Englewood and about half hour to Pt Charlotte and 50 min to Cape Coral and Ft Myers. This area and home did not get damage from hurricane Ian and the home is all newly renovated and updated with all new furnishings and electronics. Beach chairs, towels, umbrellas and coolers are on site and the home is well stocked for a comfortable stay. Laundry is on site and indoors.

What makes this property unique

Being a duplex, this home can be rented one side or both sides. The second side is a 1/1 with futon in living room so can sleep 2 plus guest. It's 1 full bath, full kitchen, living room and office and can be seen at listing number on this site. Ideal for friends or family wanting to both come down but have separate space. The units don't join anywhere so are completely separate (so kids would need adults on each side for example).
Coastal contemporary design and light and bright inside. Well stocked, with tv in each room, and designed for your comfort and enjoyment while you relax in your home away from home in the sunshine.
