Situated in Gulf Gate Estates, this charming house for $253 per night is a fantastic option for your next break. Welcome to "Casa De Palma" "Casa De Palma" is a 3BD/2BA villa featuring a heated pool and an oversized heated jacuzzi with a fountain feature. The villa is very close to Siesta Key (a lot of guests walk or bike there, exactly one mile away). Please follow the link to a short video of Siesta Beach: https://photos.app.goo.gl/QowEfSYtd18VjZq96 Please keep in mind that owners have family & friends visiting, and they stay in a small apartment/studio on the side of the main villa that you're renting. It's all part of one big building with completely separate entrances and ZERO interaction with anyone besides your party. Rest assured, ABSOLUTELY NO sharing of your villa, amenities, back yard, pool, jacuzzi, front yard, driveway, that's all yours; again, completely separate entrances as well. Essentially, everything you're seeing on the photos is yours and not shared. This is an older and very charming Florida villa. Please do not expect everything to be in immaculate shape. Owners make sure everything is functional, but you may run into issues here and there just like at your own home. We will do our best, as always, to make sure issues, if any, are addressed properly and in a timely manner (some things can take overnight or longer but most are addressed immediately or same day). Owners do not allow any events or parties under any circumstances. Guests will be asked to vacate the premises in case of such occurrences. The villa offers 4 large flat panel TVs, a fully equipped kitchen with a gorgeous dining area, WiFi, extended TV package, gas barbecue grill, beach cart with beach chairs/umbrella, and much more. Across the street from the neighborhood, there's a Publix shopping plaza with a number of shopping & dining options, a bar area, and a smaller strip plaza with even more options, literally within 5-7 min walking. The home is located in the heart of South Sarasota, and getting on & off the Key is very convenient. We can also provide assistance with water sports, boat rentals, fishing, bicycle rentals, local event tickets, etc., assuring preferential rates for our guests through a vast network of affiliate businesses we've built over the last 16 years. Upon request and/or available for rent: - Street legal golf carts - Pool & spa can be heated - Bicycles & tricycles - Motorized scooter(s) - The ultimate boat tour can be booked (your boat, your captain, no share, at a super reasonable rate, guests only, please) - Parasailing, canoes, kayaks, jet skis, paddleboards - Light grocery shopping - Baby & toddler items - Private fishing charters and much more... Please keep in mind that owners charge a $30/night pool maintenance/equipment/heating if applicable for the full duration of your stay, no partial requests. You will receive an email or a text message with a link to an invoice, which is separate from all other VRBO charges. Parties over 6 (adult or child) & up to 10 will be assessed an extra occupancy fee of $29-59/person/night. For example: A party of 8 staying 4 nights will be assessed additional 2ppl X $39 X 4 nights = 2X39X4 = $312 Most pets are welcome. Please be specific about type of pet, breed and weight.

Please be advised that the villa has a 24-hour outdoor surveillance system for no soliciting and guest safety purposes. Please do not expect a hotel experience and if there are a couple of items you might need such as soap, shampoo, hand soap, dishwashing liquid, etc., please go ahead and supply them yourself (owners will reimburse up to $25 upon submitting a purchase receipt). We assure you that you will have a very private and ambient experience and will do our best to make you as comfortable as possible. Please be respectful to owners' space and belongings.
