Jul 5, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect for short stay This little place was absolutely perfect for a last minute short trip. The walk to the beach was less than 5 minutes. The studio was clean and well appointed for our relaxing, beach obsessed trip. We literally booked it the morning we checked in. The host was easy to communicate with and attentive. The morning after we arrived, we went to get the beach supplies from the locked bin, and realized one of the chairs was broken. I reached out to inform them, and when we came back from the beach, a brand new chair was there! ##### ann H. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sue M. Feb 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cute but tiny Cute/well decorated place to stay near Lido beach/St Armand’s circle - for one person or two if you don’t have much luggage as it’s tiny. FYI, no closet to hang clothes and unit does not have a lot of convenient outlets for devices. There is also an issue with moisture coming from floor in bathroom which appears to have been happening for awhile given stains on baseboard. However, it suited our needs well enough for the week. ##### Sue M. Stayed 6 nights in Feb 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller Feb 17, 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Problems The rental had problems from day one: loud bathroom door squeak (remedy, rehang the door properly), no internet for 1.5 days (improper maintenance of cable, resulting in a cut line), wet bathroom floor (leak most likely in the shower pan, resulting in mold developing on the walls by day 12), the building on the grounds showed wear and tear. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 12 nights in Feb 2023 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan May 5, 2025 #### Definitely Stay Again Our apartment in Sarasota was fabulous, bed comfortable, kitchen well equipped, parking easy.

I did reach out about the low battery on the front door and extra pillows and found communication to be easy and quick— much appreciated!! I also enjoyed not having to worry about a key for the door— a keypad code made it much easier!
