I would rent here again and highly recommend. We needed to extend our stay a few days and they were great to work with and we were able to extend our stay another 5-6 days. Great location, charming home.

We really appreciate the 5 stars! Your recommendation is very much appreciated, and we are so glad you enjoyed your stay. We hope to have you back in the future.
Love this place; it's so comfortable. A very nice location close to downtown where there are many great restaurants, shopping and bars with live music. You'll be able to do laundry, cook in or eat out.

Great points-thanks so much for sharing! We enjoyed hosting you!
Very charming cottage in an older part of Sarasota. Wonderful front porch and an enjoyable fenced backyard. Could use a little TLC. Would recommend to anyone interested in all the old charm with modern touches
Very nice home, decorated well and a nicely updated. Beds were very comfortable.
The house was adorable and very nicely landscaped both in the front and back. The neighbors on each side were friendly and helpful! I would definitely stay there again.
The management was on top of things and very nice.

Thank you for the 5-star review! So happy you enjoyed your stay!
Great time, wish we could have stayed longer. The kitchen was the center point of all meals. We were close to the beaches that we visited everyday! Thank you for letting us stay!

Thanks so much! The best compliment is when a guest "wishes they could have stayed longer" We hope to see you again!
The home is located between Ringling College of Art and Design and downtown Sarasota. It provides quick access to everything -- dining, site seeing, and nice walks in the area. The home has everything you need. It is spacious and clean, has great wifi, and comfortable beds. The outdoor space is nice for evenings. We enjoyed our stay and hope to return soon.

Thank you for the 5 star review! We are happy you enjoyed your trip and hope you will book with us again.
Very much loved area and walking distance to Downtown mainstreets and local beaches. I did not like that the windows were sealed shut! No screens on any doors allowing for airflow and had an older musty smell. No ventilation fans in bathrooms. But although we loved the rest of the home and would book again.

Thank you for your feedback — I really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. I’ll make sure to look into more practical solutions with you concerns.
Thanks again for staying, and for helping me make the space better for future guests.
First experience on arriving not great as house was v cold 61f- as heating had not been left on and Sarasota unseasonably cold! Got heating working and all was fine! Great history to the house, very well equipped, v comfy lounge and everything very spacious. Outside space and grill used a lot. Very convenient location, we golfed a lot which meant no course more than about 30 mins drive and St Armands 10 mins in car. Loved Siesta beach (although traffic back can be heavy) and also Lido Beach. Convenient for Downtown and all the restaurants and nightlife.

We're so glad you enjoyed your golf trip, the home, and all that the area has to offer! Thanks for leaving a review. We apologize for arriving to a chilly house. We don't usually get much cold weather here in Florida and when we do it's only a few hours at a time, so that was unexpected for your arrival. We hope to host you for your next visit!
If you are a fan of fresh air, there is none!! The windows are stuck shut can’t open any.
Bring your own pillows. All of your food condiments! I did leave salt & pepper behind.
Bring your own bath soap, shampoo etc.
The back yard is big! If you want to enjoy the open space..bring big spray. A lot.. The neighborhood ? Aahhh. not so much

Hi Tracy- We're sorry you did not enjoy our Historic Craftsman as much as others. It was a pleasure hosting you.
We enjoyed our stay at the rental home, it was clean and mostly updated. The beds were the worst beds I've ever slept on, that is my only complaint lol the white couche was a little dirty and stained but overall it was a clean house, absolutely loved the kitchen. It had everything you would need, washer and dryer onset, which was great. The location was far from everything in my opinion but if you dont mind the traffic and driving then its a good spot. Siesta Key Beach was about 35-40 minutes away so if you're looking for something closer, this wouldn't work. We traveled with 2 toddlers and thought it was a lot closer to beaches etc but it wasn't. Check in was easy, check out was SUPER early (10am) and they were literally pulling into the driveway at 9:55 to make sure we were gone. We just got into done loading up thankfully, so we made it out with 5 minutes to spare. I most likely wouldn't book this again because it was far from everything but if you just need a cozy home to stay in while you visit Sarasota, I'd recommend it. Thank you for giving our family a cozy place to stay, We felt at home!

Thanks for the 5-star review and sharing some things you loved about your stay. We really appreciate that. You are the first guest who didn't enjoy the beds, so we've scheduled that to be looked at to determine if it could be preference or action is needed. Thank you for bringing it to us. Spring Break dates varied this year and unfortunately the beach traffic was high. This is likely also why the cleaners were ready at the exact check out time. We do apologize if you felt rushed in any way. We try to always be timely for all of our guests, both leaving and arriving. It was a pleasure hosting you and we thank you for the opportunity and for being a fantastic guest!
