The place was amazing!!! Clean,safe,comfortable great location!!! It had beach chairs and a cooler and umbrella towels!!! I had an amazing stay!!!! Thanks ago!!!
We loved this studio! It was perfect for a short stay near the beach, which is about a 4-5 minute walk away. The unit was very clean with all the basics we needed, including a beach wagon, chairs, umbrella, towels, and cooler—which was great because we flew in from out of state and didn’t have room to bring our own beach equipment. Host is communicative and check-in was a breeze. We would definitely stay here again!
Great location within walking distance to the beach. They provide everything you need to experience the beach. From beach towels to coolers to boogie boards and water noodles. As well as the beach wagon to transport everything.
The host was available for anything that was needed. You will like this location and accommodations.
Small studio in a great location. Not a lot of space but has all the basic necessities. Close to the beach and St. Armand Circle. Janice was great to work with and responds very quickly.

Week in Sarasota
The property was clean with everything we needed, but the on line listing was somewhat misleading - no ocean view, the communal pool is a public pool about a mile away, and beach access is about a 10-15 minute walk (not a 3-5 minute walk.) Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay.

Was super easy to get in contact with the host, walking distance to the beach which was nice and had beach essentials for us to use which had been helpful as we were from out of state. However, the room felt dirty as we would slide around the floors in the room and shower. The bed skirt had dirt and what looked like blood on it. The door was difficult to lock from the outside...took two of us to lock the door which was an inconvenience. Overall, don't think I would stay here again.
Served out purpose: bed and shower! Could use another light in living area. But it was clean. We did prepare dinner there one night and breakfast all but one morning. Appreciate that linens were supplied. We were totally unfamiliar with Sarasota. I had read about Lido Beach. It is beautiful but I am unable to walk that far. We did park nearby and walk the beach briefly twice.I never did learn how to use the TV to get local stations! If we were going for beach time, would stay there again.
Other than the host not initially responding to my text messages for over 48 hours, my wife and I had an excellent stay. I would recommend this location to other people.
Location was perfect. House was cute. We had a wonderful time and plan to visit again next year.

Perfect location for what we wanted. Everything was walkable, the property was quaint, and provided all the essentials for walking to the beach. A wagon, umbrellas, coolers, and chairs.
The apartment was cute & worked great for us. We walked to the beach each day & having the wagon, chairs, umbrella & cooler was awesome.This was our first time to Sarasota & will definitely be back.
Cute condo with super easy access to the beach. It was well-stocked with essentials. My only complaint is it was not as clean as I'd hoped, and it could have used a pest treatment, as there were several millipedes and a weevil who joined us during our visit.
Great property in a great location. Loved the amenities that the host provides. Makes the beach trips so much easier when you don't have to worry about chairs and coolers etc. Thank you!
Comfortable well appointed room. Beach gear available for use but some chairs were broken. We appeared to be the only ones at the house so it wasn’t a problem finding ones to take to the beach.
