On the vrbo website it said the beach was less than a mile away. It was 5 miles. This is a boarded up sun room on the back of someones house. The shower doesn't have a door so the bathroom floods. While we stayed the key did not work so we had to use a code that the owners also had. For two young girls traveling alone this was a major safety issue.

The room was fine...a little humid b/c of window ac, but otherwise everything you need / expect away from home for a quick beach trip. No noise issues, and neighbors were quite polite.

No direction or address was given till day of arrival. Ac so loud you cant sleep or hear tv. Save door code given to each person who stays there so anyone can go in at anytime. Low water pressure in kitchen. Dirty paint brush n tray in freezer. No smoke detector. property is part of main house. It is not a stand alone unit or cottage.

This place tiny but cozy. We just didn’t like that it had a dirt road. Maybe because we have a nice car. Other than that we liked the place.

We really enjoyed our stay. Perfect for what we needed. Very cute. Would definitely stay again.

Inside studio was clean. The pictures of the outside looked better than it actually was in-person. Door lock didn’t work and beach chairs were old and umbrella broken. Owner did get another beach umbrella after we let her know. We did have to rent one for the first day at the beach.

We took this property as a place to stay while working daily at our hurricane damaged property 40 minutes away. It worked fine for what we needed.

Had a wonderful 4 day stay. This place was close to the beaches but away from the city noise. Nice and quiet with GREAT shower pressure! Would definitely rent if in the area again.

Small but cozy. Good for a short stay. Close to everything, Chimera outdoor fireplace was our fav.

Very nice clean and quiet

Adorable renovated 1 bedroom. Fabiola the host was very friendly and welcoming. Close proximity to everything. Great neighborhood to walk in. Would stay again !

My wife and I stayed here a couple night while working Hurricane Ian claims it was perfect for a few nights stay.

Enjoyed staying, very clean and comfortable place, thank you looking forward being there again

Great location, exactly what's needed for a weekend getaway

The bathroom was an accident waiting to happen. No grab bar, floor slippery when wet, shower sprayed water over the floor. Air-conditioner was very loud.

My mom and I stayed here during Mother’s Day weekend. We were traveling about an hour and some change away and the host was very accommodating to let us check in a little early. Fabiola was very responsive and helpful during our stay. The check in/out process was smooth. What we loved: the location is perfect! We frequented down town Sarasota and Siesta key during our stay, which was less than a 30 min drive. All of the food recommendations were on point! Including Pop’s and Spanish point, both within 10 minutes away. The room was clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. The space is perfect for two and had everything we needed including plenty of chords to charge devices, towels, ect. We didn’t cook during our stay but it was a pleasant surprise to find pots, pans, and even an air fryer in the storage bench. Loved that there was coffee available; maybe throw in some tea bags as well 😊. What could be better: Fabiola was very helpful with figuring out how to lock/unlock the door, but even with her instructions it still takes a little finagling to get it right. I love the private entry but a little could go into the landscaping when you enter the premises. The location is very private but the door shade isn’t wide enough and leaves a significant gap on the sides, which can be uncomfortable when changing in the room. We had to put up a towel to get full coverage. I’m so glad they thought of having a mirror near the front door but would be even better to have a full length mirror to check your outfit before you leave. Lastly, with the layout of the shower a significant amount of water does end up on the floor of the bathroom. So we had to lay out towels on the floor to help soak up some of the water. All in all we loved our stay and would book this location again! The beach chairs were also clutch. Thank you Fabiola for helping me treat my mom to a great weekend. She loved it!

Beautifully decorated double bedded room with efficiently organized tiny kitchen, living and dining area in a quiet family neighborhood. Plenty of storage. Private backyard deck, hot tub, grill, table and chairs for sunning, meals or rest. Nearby stream and tropical foliage whisper “Florida” and the visiting chickens entertain. Property owner very nearby and eager to assist as needed. Close to Venice and Nokomis beaches, I-95 and plenty of fabulous restaurants and shopping. Ideal for one or 2 people, probably not children. Highly recommended.

The property owner was nice. Her communication though was just too much. Repeatedly asking when I would be arriving. She also questioned my having a service dog, which I informed her would be with me when I made the reservation. The room is nice and clean, in a neighborhood. It was as advertised. Just the owner was too hyper.

The cottage was very cozy and clean. Location was very central to all the nice beaches and excellent food. We would definitely stay here again.

The place was exactly as described and everything was nearby. Convenient location.

Very Comfortable. Convenient location approximately 10-15 minutes to Turtle Beach and Siesta Beach. Hosts very accommodating.

Entering the property, there was a red pick up truck and an ATV on a trailer, parked on the grass next to the drive. Luckily, the owner lived at the property where she was able to show us how to lock the door w a code, which we never received. The room was clean, nicely decorated and the bed was comfortable. The shower stall was pretty and clean w great water stream, but was only enclosed half way w glass, so water bouncing off your body( and my husband is big) sprays out onto the bathroom floor. The refrigerator was clean, but there were left over items in there along w other items in the overhead cabinet. The air conditioner was in the wall which was very loud and would go on and off all night, allowing us to only use the fan and none of the windows could be opened. Beach chairs were provided for the beach which was about a 15 min drive away…Nicomis, which is beautiful. Overall stay was good but we were never there except to sleep and luckily the evenings were cool. If it’s cleaned up a little, it could have great potential and it is in a very nice neighborhood. Fabiola, the owner was very pleasant.

This studio apartment was very clean & up to date. We enjoyed the privacy it offered plus was close to beaches, shops, & restaurants.
