We were however surprised to see upon arrival it was a duplex style… not sure what they call that in Florida. Luckily we didn’t have neighboring guests until our last night. We were looking for something a little more private because we had two screaming girls 1 and 2 years old that don’t know how to use inside voices yet... Overall it was a very nice home and had all the amenities. Would definitely recommend. Thank you for making our first family vacation memorable ! ##### Jillian Z.

My family and I felt so comfortable and definitely I will use this place again if I am in Sarasota. Mark (the owner) was so pleasant and also gave us enough time in checking in and checking out. All the furniture was also updated together with all the appliances. The kitchen and bathroom was updated and the entire place was clean. I will definitely call on any of Mark's properties if I am on the West Coast since he is so organized. Sandra ##### SANDRA S. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Theresa M.

We loved the washer and dryer convenience and the central air was always cool. We were so close to everything. NThe apartment is centrally located to Siesta Key beach and downtown Sarasota. Everything was within 10-15 minutes away. The trees outside provide some shade on the patio which was comfortable later in the afternoon after a day at the beach. You can rent umbrella’s and chairs at Siesta Key after 9:30am. Some restaurants that are a must, Owens Fish Camp has a fantastic menu, super casual Casa Mesa for the best soft tacos anywhere. The best Italian food we found to be Bevardis Salute in downtown Sarasota order the fried calamari appetizer and lasagna entree. If you love going to the gym while you are vacationing EOS fitness is 5 minutes away. We absolutely love Sarasota! ##### Theresa M. Stayed 9 nights in May 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Kasey M. Jun 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice The only complaint I would have would be that there were only four parking spots. One spot is all I needed. And every time I left and came back, there would be trash cans, parked right in my parking spot so when I would come, I would have to get out of my car and move the trash cans just to be able to pull in. This happened on multiple occasions. Someone kept putting those garbage cans in the spot so that I could not park. And for most of the time, all four parking spots were taking when I arrived again. I would have to get out of my car just to move the trash cans over so I could park. ##### Kasey M. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024
