Hosts had great communication throughout the stay. Very clean. Nice patio. Really liked the outdoor shower to get sand off before going inside. Beds very comfortable. Walk to the beach was a bit longer only because the closer beach entry was baracaded by the city. Kitchen had everything you would need except a pizza cutter (or I couldn't find it). Wasn't preparing anything other than a frozen pizza after 1200 miles. Be sure to ask for the Harry Potter wand to turn kitchen light on..lol. Wasn't really an issue because we made very simple meals every night, but there were no empty cabinets or pantry to put groceries. We just put them on the counter. Not a big deal but if you plan on cooking bigger meals or staying more than a few nights, space would be helpful. If we ever go back to Sarasota, this will be the place we stay at.

We stayed here for 4 nights and it felt like home. The Villa is spacious with everything you need. The beach is a block away and St Armands Circle only a short walk. We did not need a car. Heidi and Jerry have done an amazing job. We will definitely come back.

Great time in Sarasota
Heidi and Jerry are wonderful hosts - we were in touch before our arrival and during our stay. The location is perfect - a short walk to beautiful Sarasota beach, and the villa is spacious and sunny with a very private and pleasant courtyard. The bed is comfortable. Loved our stay and look forward to returning!

Best VRBO ever!
Probably our best VRBO experience yet! Jerry and Heidi are the best! Super friendly and helpful. Very understanding about the crazy travel challenges we encountered.
The property was perfect, clean, updated, and comfortable.
Well stocked, including complimentary beach gear and bikes.
Excellent patio, large and private, with a nice grill.
Convenient location, just a quick walk to the beach, shopping and restaurants. Lido is the best beach we've seen on the US Mainland.
If we find ourselves back in Sarasota, we'll stay here again for sure.

Fantastic location and communication
My parents live in downtown Sarasota so I visit often, but usually by myself. This time my husband and daughter were with me so we needed a little more space. This rental worked out perfectly as it’s a short drive to downtown, and even shorter drive or walk to St. Armand’s Circle, which allowed all of us to go our separate ways when needed. The unit was very clean and well equipped. We had everything we needed and enjoyed spending time there when we weren’t out and about. We hope to stay there again when visiting.
