We were in town for a wedding at the Ringling Museum and we wanted to find somewhere where our pup would be comfortable and this was perfect! The house has so much character (which feels rare for a rental property nowadays) and it’s pretty centrally located. We quickly found out everything was no more than an 8 minute drive. We were also able to walk to Project Coffee with our pup, which was great. The house was super clean and had everything we needed. If you are bringing a dog, I’d just recommend bringing paw wipes since the backyard doesn’t have much grass so paws can get dirty. That said, I would definitely stay here again next time we’re in Sarasota! ##### Lexie J.

If we needed something or had questions they answered as soon as possible. House was nice. The only issue I had was I’m short, and the frying pans are hanging up real high so I had a hard time reaching them. The bathtub is real deep and no handle to hold on to to get in. If you are disabled or have bad knees then it would be very difficult to get in and out of. Fans were provided but I didn’t see any vents in the two bedrooms for the air conditioning. I loved sitting on the front porch nice comfy chairs. Unfortunately I had to end my stay early so to personal reason and there for had a bad time in Florida. ##### Sandy L.

Faith was lovely and we would definitely stay here again. ##### Annie W. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew M. 17 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We stayed at Casa de Zara as we needed a place to stay for a couple of nights whilst we travelled down from Orlando to get married on Coquina beach. Even though we live in the UK the process of booking was easy, and the property itself was beautiful, incredibly clean with the host being very approachable and professional. Would highly recommend a stay here, the views in Sarasota are out of this world and Casa de Zara vibes perfectly with the area. ##### Andrew M.

The property is impeccably clean and extremely well maintained, especially when one considers the historic nature of the home. If you are looking for an stress-free, quiet, comfortable home close to and yet away from all the noise of Downtown, book this gem. ##### Jeffrey C.
