Description from owner

Description

Located one block from Sarasota Bay in the Ringling Museum area, we're a perfect choice if you're seeking a walkable friendly and great location. You'll enjoy a fenced in yard with complete privacy. Enjoy off street, covered parking for your convenience. If you have an electric vehicle, be aware there is no outdoor electric available in the carport.

We list this as a guest house for 2 adults. However the Queen pull out sofa can accommodate 2 children. Please contact us with any questions- we're here for you.

It's a great community for walking, dog walking, jogging, biking and spectacular sunsets. Located 5 miles from the Gulf, 1 mile from the airport and 9 miles from Interstate 75 if you're driving in.

It has 3/4 vaulted ceilings and offers a new queen size bed and a queen pull out sleeper with a memory foam mattress for your comfort. The kitchen has everything you'd need should you have an extended stay.

There's an outdoor seating area with loungers and another with upright seats. A new fence (2023) surrounds the yard for your furry loved one to run free.

There is a Starbucks, supermarket, liquor store, Walgreens and CVS Pharmacy within 1/3 of a mile. Very sought after location with easy access to RT 41 (Tamiami Trail.) Not driving? No problem, public transportation is 1/3 of a mile walk as well.

We ask that you specify any special needs you may have. There is one step up into the bathroom hosting a nice sized shower having new fixtures, bath vanity etc.

Dogs are our friends and are welcome (a refundable pet deposit required.) Guests will be responsible if your little friend damages anything.

We provide your first couple of nights with Starbucks coffee, paper towels and other paper products. We have sugar and substitutes available as well as some spices for your cooking convenience. No indoor smoking but ashtrays are available for outdoors. Please let us know if you need one.

Please note we cannot share our contact information until you book your trip. It's the website's policy.

Getting around

Convenient services include Uber, Lyft and public transportation (bus) is a short 1/3 of a mile to the bus stop. Getting around town is easy from our location, we are 3 blocks from Tamiami Trail (US 41) and it makes it easy to navigate around town. A car is recommended but not needed with all of the public transportation and ride shares available.

Interaction with guest

When you arrive, we will give you the nickel tour, show you the AC and TV remotes, Internet passwords and answer any questions you may initially have. It'll take about 5 minutes. We keep our interaction to a minimum for your privacy. We are always available to answer any questions you may have like "where to go, what to do" if you've never been to Sarasota before. Once you are here you can phone or text us with your inquiries. It’s not that we don’t want to get to know you, we do! But we want to respect your space. You're on vacation and deserve some R and R without interruption.
