You'll love this family-friendly pool home located in the Gulf Gate area of Sarasota, close to shops, restaurants, and the world-famous Siesta Key beaches! One of Sarasota's most popular and established neighborhoods, Gulf Gate is attractive to everyone because its residential streets are quiet and peaceful, but they quickly lead to a bevy of restaurants, shops, and everything else Sarasota is known for. With Siesta Key just across the Stickney Point Bridge, you have the perfect Florida vacation! This sprawling ranch-style house has a split floor plan, with the primary bedroom and ensuite bath on one side of the living, dining and kitchen areas, and the other three bedrooms and bathroom tucked away on the opposite side of the house...perfect for visiting family or friends to join you for a portion of your vacation! The primary bedroom features a king-size bed, smart TV, and ensuite bath with a walk-in shower. Two of the other three bedrooms offer queen beds, while the third offers a bunk bed with a twin on top and queen bed on the bottom. In between the bedrooms you'll find a fully equipped kitchen, comfy living room with a large smart-tv, and a dining room that seats six. But the family area doesn't end there! Just out the sliding doors you'll find a Florida-style tropical oasis! An oversized screened patio features a generous seating area with comfortable outdoor furniture set up for relaxing or visiting. Just beyond is the sparkling heated pool, complete with a pint-size shallow pool for the really little ones to splash in safety (children must never be left unattended, of course). In the mood for something really yummy? Nearby restaurants span the gastronomic spectrum, from the 5-star rated Latin street food at the Screaming Goat Taqueria, to world-class Ruth's Chris Steakhouse, both just minutes away. Shopping opportunities abound at the intersections of Stickney Point Road, Gulf Gate Drive, and US Hwy 41, with loads more to be found just down the road at the Sarasota Square Mall. You'll also have easy access to I-75, which means it's an easy trip to the world of shopping options at University Town Center Mall. Downtown Sarasota and St. Armand's Circle are an easy trip as well. This wonderful, family-friendly, Florida oasis home sleeps 9 in one king bed, two queen beds, and one twin/queen bunk bed. *PET OWNERS: This property is dog friendly for one dog with a maximum weight of 25 pounds and a non-refundable pet fee of $150 for the first week.
