The Neighborhood: This is a quiet “Old Sarasota” neighborhood, approximately 8 minutes from the beach by car. You will need a car to make the most of your stay in Sarasota. The neighborhood is quite walkable, but there is not very much activity within a 10 minute walk. This is a quiet and tranquil community, and sounds tend to carry easily here. Please be mindful of your volume during your stay. Noise Detector, Cameras, and Security: There is a noise detector in the large Bedroom 3 which does not record or transmit audio - its only function is to report loud noises. Although the neighborhood is quite safe, there may be petty crime just like anywhere else in the USA. Please make sure to lock your vehicles and doors at night, just as you would at home. There are security cameras on the exterior of the home at the entry, the corners of the house, the front yard, and the back-yard. There are no cameras inside. Safety: Please take measures to ensure everyone’s safety when enjoying the fire-pit, which must include adult supervision whenever children are present. Also, please use caution with the bed in Bedroom #3. It is a low Japanese-style bedframe, and although it looks and functions great, it is quite possible to bang your shin on the bedframe if you are not careful. Thank you, and enjoy! ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Area rugs in public areas - Hardwood flooring in public areas - No elevator (single-level property) - Single level property - Tile flooring in public areas - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near the sea ### Things to do - Foosball table ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Double-glazed windows - Garden - Living plant wall - Local artist showcase - Unit size: 1,560 square feet ## Similar properties ![Outdoor pool, a heated pool, open 8 AM to 10 PM, pool umbrellas](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/2000000/1250000/1241000/1240909/606a9b3c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Tropical Beach Resorts South Village - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.4 Exceptional 5,054 reviews CA $178 CA $233 total includes taxes & fees Oct 22 - Oct 23 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-22&endDate=2025-10-23&selected=1240909&PinnedHotelID=1240909&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/37000000/36020000/36016600/36016580/4db5bf87.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beautiful Large Home Bike to Siesta Key, quiet neighborhood with LOCAL owners!
