Very tropical, private and peaceful, short walk to everything happening downtown

Located in Sarasota's first and oldest neighborhood, quaint Laurel Park is walking distance to everything downtown.and very short drive or bike ride to beaches

It’s very quiet and private. The backyard is large, completely enclosed with a beautiful 6' wooden fence. Lush and tropical with backyard furniture, patio table for eating, remote working, or reading. Grill, beach chairs, enclosed washer and dryer... It's a beautiful slice of old Florida for the sole use of the two apartments. You won't want to leave.

**There is an upstairs apartment as well: vrbo.com/1135090

Elopement stay

We arrived at the property and instantly fell in love with it. The outdoor space is adorable and very private. It was the perfect get away for our elopement. We had plenty of space for the two of us and our two small dogs. They really enjoyed the fenced in back yard. We were walking distance to everything downtown and it was still nice and quiet. Christina and Lulu (sweetest pup) were so accommodating and nice. She even gave us recommendations for beaches and made sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely be back to celebrate future anniversaries! We had the best and most memorable time here! :) Would recommend!!!

Secluded accomodation

We only stayed for a short time, we met the owner on arrival, who was very sweet and helpful. We were the only one’s there so we had the whole place to ourselves. It’s really close to a big park, with tennis facility and walkable to the marina and a downtown area.

Sarasota Get Away 2025

Christie is such a great person, easy to contact, communicate with and a joy to just visit with her ! We love staying here, it’s a perfect location to all that we enjoy. The unit is simply wonderful in all aspects ! Christie was so concerned about the TV, so she changed to a larger size; she brought extra lights to cover a few dark areas, always being concerned about one’s comfort, what a great Host ! See you again, hopefully sooner ! Happy New Year Christie !

Great 4th of July weekend

The place was very nice. We enjoyed our stay. Nice and close to everything. We had one little hiccup but it was addressed quickly. Great communication from the host. My dog doesn't get to be off leash outside much with where we live and she loved being able to be free in the yard. There is also a nice dog park near by. Wish we could have stayed longer, would stay again.

Awesome Sarasota get away

This is our second time staying at this property in Sarasota and we just love it there!!! It's quiet and quaint but walking distance to everything! And there is a great outdoor space where you can view the stars between the beautiful trees in the back yard. The owner is so helpful and nice. I would highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a great get away week or weekend in Sarasota!!!

Mother daughter trip

The host of this property is amazing. I had to reschedule this booking last minute. It was past the cancellation date. She allowed me to move it to a later date. I texted with her several times over the next few months. She always responded. The rental was exactly as it was presented. Cute little apartment very well stocked and clean. Super close to everything we wanted to do. We went to St Armand's circle and Lido beach. Would definitely stay here again.

Spring Break Recharge

Loved Christie’s backyard oasis with the scent of jasmine filling the air! The bed was extremely comfortable with the softest sheets! Having access to a washer and dryer meant we didn’t need to pack as much. We really enjoyed everything Sarasota had to offer: golf, museums and beach! Thanks, Christie!

Great location, some issues

The good things: The apartment was absolutely clean and the neighborhood is wonderful! Very walkable to downtown amenities. The bathroom in the apt is functional and very nice. Issues and inconveniences: The bedroom is crowded for two people as the bed is in the corner so you can only get in and out of bed on the one side. There isn’t a place to hang dresses or longer items of clothing. There were items left in the frig and freezer when we got there, some perishable. Cooking facilities consist of a toaster oven, microwave and 2 burner electric hot plate but it’s fine if you don’t plan to do much cooking.
