Thanks so much for the 5 star review, Floyd! We love the location of this sweet home, located so close to the Legacy Trail and all the options that downtown Sarasota has to offer. We are so happy to know that it was perfect for your stay, and we hope to host you again in the future!
Traveled with my 2 daughters for the US Youth Rowing Nationals held at NBP. The house was in a great location - easy access to the beach and NBP venue. Bike path directly behind the house which made it easy to enjoy. Location was safe and clean.

Thanks so much for the informative review, Tracy! We appreciate our guests letting others know the pluses this property has to offer. We would love to host you again in the future!
This vacation rental was perfect for my friend and me with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths. It was a quiet location beside the Legacy Trail, within walking distance to downtown and close to a park and grocery store. The hosts were very responsive and accommodating. We both love to read and spent many happy hours on the front porch and deck.

Thank you so much for the review, Barbara! We love this quaint Florida original located close to the Legacy Trail, too! Roomy and sunny- we think it's the perfect spot to relax and recharge. We hope to host you again!
Two bedrooms and two bathrooms allowed for a visit from my granddaughter during a medical treatment. There is a great walking path and nearby park and a grocery store a few blocks away. The host responded to questions right away. It was just what I needed.

Thanks so much for the 5 star rating, Kathi! We think the location of this cottage is special, too- close to everything, but located in a sweet residential neighborhood. Glad you were able to use the Legacy Trail during your stay, too:) Come back and see us again!
The location is wonderful. We are walkers so backing up to the Legacy Trail was a huge bonus. Property was clean when we moved in. Communication was easy. Help with the TV was prompt and well done.

We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay with us, Bernie! This location is special--- close proximity to the Legacy Trail, and all that sarasota has to offer! We appreciate the fact that you enjoyed the clean, comfortable digs for your stay, and that you were happy with our communication throughout. We'd love to host you again!
This property is in a fantastic location. Close to the park and of course having the legacy trail right behind the house was ideal. Easy to get to downtown but not in the heart of it so it’s still quiet. House came with everything I needed from plates and glassware to plastic wrap and paper towels. Extra sets of sheets as well as enough towels to shower with. Thought the property manager was easy to work with and enjoyed the property overall

What a thoughtful review, this is! We agree that this location is fantastic, whether you use the Legacy Trail or not. Close to the gorgeous downtown, and well-stocked, this home is a lovely spot to stay while you enjoy the best of what Sarasota has to offer! We hope to host you again!
Excellent location and the house is very clean. It’s an older house but it has been totally renovated. You can’t beat the located especially if you enjoy walking or riding a bike. It is an older neighborhood but all the properties are well taken care of and the vast majority of houses have been redon. At no time did I feel uncomfortable!!! I will be staying there again when I go to watch spring training for the O’s. The management company was very helpful and responsive!!!
