We communicated several times and she was always very prompt in responding, definitely would recommend staying here as we would again if the opportunity comes our way.

Excellent Experience at this lovely Sarasota Home

This house was perfect for us. It was a great location, only about 10 min to downtown and close to major roads. The house was immaculate, comfortable and very nicely decorated. We loved the outside space in the back especially. The house was very well stocked and Cristina was responsive and available. We look forward to coming back next year. Thanks Cristina!

Everything is as listed. Extremely clean, quite comfortable and enjoyable. This is not a "it'll do" property. Lovely back yard to unwind after romping at the beach all day. Extremely convenient to everything, down town, the arts, beaches,baseball and more!

Excellet stay

I stayed here for over 2 months while working in Sarasota. The house is very nice, clean and well supplied. I felt very comfortable and at home there. Although the owner lives there, I often had the house to myself and had full access the home all the times. The host is incredibly nice and checks to make your stay is all it can be. The next time I work in Sarasota, I will stay here again.

Nice spot

This was a real find for me. It was close to downtown Sarasota and Siesta Key Beach. The host was most accommodating. The room and house were exactly as described on VRBO. Within two days my security deposit was refunded. I plan on staying there again next year.

Good value; great property

This home is immaculate and very tastefully decorated. The listing and photos accurately reflect the property. Sarasota is not a large city, but the home is very convenient to downtown, beaches and other attractions. The owner was very helpful, knowledgeable about the area, and made me feel very much at home. The neighborhood is safe and quiet. Downtown restaurants (particularly the ones on Main St.) are very good. I would recommend this property to friends and relatives.

8/10 Good

Nice place to stay.

I actually rented this room for two of us, my daughter and myself, for the spring brake vacation. The bed was big enough to hold both of us comfortably as we are in the petite size. The house was clean and just like on picture, welcoming. We had a great time staying here and hardly saw Christina. As for Christina, she was great and very accommodating to any request. I would highly recommend this property. The neighborhood was very quite and safe. Location is perfect as well. It is closed to the center of the city where all the action is. Wish we could stay longer

Property was nice!

I was overall happy with the house however the property owner kept coming over to either drop stuff off or come in the house. Also the property owner said that there was damage when we lefted and there was not. I have not received my deposit back either.

Grreat!

I enjoyed my 6-night stay at this vacation rental. The owner gives one access to the kitchen and the other common living areas, which gives one a feeling of having rented much more than a room. There is also access to the backyard and deck, and the front porch, all of which are very nice. The neighborhood is residential with well-kept yards, very quiet. The owner is very accommodating and went the extra mile to make me feel at home. Since it's her residence, she of course lives there, which worked well for me because when she was around, I could ask her questions about Sarasota. Everything was within short driving distances, which I loved. Since I am sensitive to most fragrances, the only con for me was that there was always a fragrance pervading the house, especially in the living room. It may have been coming from a plug-in air freshener. Most people would love that but for those of us who are sensitive, and our numbers are growing, it is a source of discomfort. Thankfully, my discomfort was not major so I chose to not say anything.. However, I am sure the owner would have eliminated the fragrance if I had mentioned it. Everything else about my stay there was great.

A wonderful welcoming home!

I stayed here for almost two months while playing with Opera-- and Christina's home was a such a wonderful place to stay in! The house is in a great location-- easy to get downtown, but removed enough to be peaceful and relaxing. I highly recommend staying here!

About the host

Hosted by Cristina Giacomazzi

Host profile image
I'm thrilled you're considering staying in my home. Having lived in Sarasota for 25 incredible years, this house was my first, where I happily resided for two decades.
For 20 years, this was my first and only home, and I poured my heart into it. I genuinely take pride and care for it, ensuring every corner is maintained with love and attention. This house holds so many amazing memories for me, and my greatest hope is for my guests to feel the same sense of joy and belonging that I did, because I truly believe it is such a special house.
Being centrally located, so close to downtown and the amazing beaches around, it would let you experience the best of Sarasota and surroundings.
I am committed to making sure that whoever is staying here has an amazing and relaxing time, feeling like the house is entirely theirs for the duration of their stay. Your comfort and enjoyment are my top priority.
I truly look forward to sharing this cherished part of Sarasota with you.

Why they chose this property

My priority for this home was achieving the perfect balance: minutes away from downtown excitement, yet perfectly secluded. Situated on a dead-end street, the privacy here ensures a truly peaceful stay.

What makes this property unique

Once you pull in, your eyes will immediately go to the gigantic majestic oak tree in the front, it's a stunning gift from nature. I know you'll love sitting on the porch swing and admiring it for hours. But the beauty doesn't end there: head to the backyard and you'll find an even more pleasing sanctuary. The captivating space, filled with flowers and anchored by a welcoming fire pit, is truly enchanting.
