The location was convenient to downtown Sarasota, taking a drive up the keys to Anna Maria, renting a boat for the day, of course a day on the beach at Siesta Key, and even for a day trip south to see the Everglades. Plenty of casual restaurants and bars in close proximity and we enjoyed a couple of pretty nice ones as well. ##### Holly M.

The location was perfect and the condo had everything we needed. It was so well stocked. The owner was very responsive and willing to help with anything. There was one glitch at check-in, but the owner made up for it and apologized. It may have even been VRBO’s fault. Anyway, I would gladly rent this place again. ##### Carol S.

The stay was wonderful! The space is tastefully decorated and has beautiful granite countertops, new appliances, and a cozy breakfast nook. The beds were very comfortable. Both bathrooms have nicely tiled showers, and I really enjoyed the rain-style showerhead in the tile master shower. Also, the screen porch was a favorite in the morning to read and evening for sunset. Steve and Susan are great hosts. We even had a very nice box of Belgian cookies as a welcome surprise. I highly recommend this gem! ##### Chris L.

We’ve stayed at numerous VRBO rentals and this one topped the list. The host welcomed us with a fridge of essentials (and ice cream too!). They were very responsive (and kind) to us in a very timely manner. Perfect location to explore Sarasota. The final day we were there, we needed to stay due to an unforeseen issue. They were so generous and allowed us to stay the full day and were extremely understanding that we needed the extra time. We would 1,000% stay here again! ##### Debbie T.

Our stay was cut 10 days short b/c of CV19. The owners were very responsive and kind, reimbursing for the change. The condo itself was clean and comfortable and very well appointed. Plenty of kitchen items and basic supplies.. very comfortable beds and living room seating. Only used the pool once but it was nice. The owners were very responsive to any inquiries and came over in person to assist. The location was good...less than 2 miles from the Legacy bike trail which we used almost daily, a short distance to Siesta Key...and not a bad drive to Venice. A short drive to food stores, Costco, etc. Would love to return if it stays as a rental! ##### GERI K.

This is our 3rd yr spending 2 months in this awesome condo! Place is totally renovated making it very comfortable for either two or family with grandkids. Decorated tastefully with many accents to make it feel like “ home away from home”. Place is fully stocked with towels, linens, extra pillows, beach towels, even coolers and beach chairs with umbrellas. Kitchen is also stocked with all the appliances you would normally have back at home. This place is central to all. Shopping centers, grocery stores. Many choices for restaurants whether it’s just having a pizza or a night out with friends! Of course can’t forget about how close you are to Siesta Beach! And all the other beaches along the way to Venice! Let’s not forget downtown Sarasota with all it has to offer! The heated pool at condo is definitely the place to be for a relaxing day! And the best part is having great hosts like Steven & Susan who go all out to ensure your stay is the best ever! Any questions Steven is always readily available. Looking forward to next year! ##### Rosalie C.

My husband, cousin and I had to make an unexpected trip to Sarasota. We were unable to arrive during the check in time, but no worries! Our host Steve was super accommodating and it was no trouble for us to arrive late. Upon our arrival we found everything we would possibly need. The extra kitchen supplies (coffee, sugar, oil, spices, etc.) were helpful for a week stay at the condo. There were also paper products, soap for laundry/dishwashers/hands, and plenty of cleaning supplies. Sadly, we did not have time to use the beautiful pool or go to the beach, but there were plenty of towels and supplies if we did go. Steve reached out several times to ensure we had everything we needed. I checked in periodically and Steve was always very responsive. Steve was sensitive to our unique needs due to a family emergency. He ensured we had his support and continued to be extremely flexible with our additional needs during our stay. I highly recommend staying at this condo!! Plenty of space, which is ideal for two couples or a family. A desk in one bedroom which was nice for some work time away from the rest of the group. The washer/dryer was helpful, and worked great. The beds were extremely comfortable and sheets/towels were good quality. There are plenty of restaurants, grocery stores nearby. We wish we could have stayed longer! Thank you for your kindness, Steve!! ##### Kathy W.

This is our second year here being hosted by Steve & Susan! They make this place so welcoming and comfortable you almost forget this is a vacation home! Our host welcomed us with treats plus coffee and cream! Even had the same mailman who left us a “welcome back” note in mailbox! There’s so much to say about the property. Ground floor unit. Assigned parking space and lots of guest spots. Totally renovated condo! Lots of nice touches- leave it to Susan for the awesome coastal feel! New window treatments this year! Even had reading and game material. Plenty of linens, towels, comfy pillows, tons of toilet paper and paper towel, dish soaps, cleaning products, detergent and more. Really nice new leather queen sofa bed which was also very comfortable for our teenage granddaughter. Comfortable sleeping arrangements in both bedrooms. Well stocked pantry, fridge etc. Kitchen fully equipped with all the cutlery, plates, pots and pans , casseroles, appliances, etc. Plus enough beach chairs, boogie boards and beach umbrellas. The pool is well taken care of and was great for non-beach days. Nice cabana to dine in also. New lounge chairs were provided this year. Within minutes of Siesta beach, and very close to many others. Close to many restaurants, steakhouses, pizzerias , breakfast places and coffee shops. The lanai was also a welcome respite for my husband and our granddaughter spent lots of down time there too! Our host was always available to ensure we had everything. Thanks again for having us! We can’t wait to return next year! ##### Rosalie C. Stayed 55 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Holly M., Hartland, WI 3 May 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Unexpectedly Good Location! Lovely property and in an unexpectedly good location. Having not been to Sarasota previously, my sister and cousin wanted to experience the beaches, enjoy local seafood, and have the opportunity to unplug - we were successful on all accounts! When booking the property I wondered if we were too far away from the beaches and social scene, but as it turned out our location was perfect for us; we were literally at Siesta Key beach parked and on a beautiful white sand in less than 20 minutes and we were able to leisurely explore all the way north to Anna Maria Island within an hours drive. The unexpected part was that the location also served as a great respite to be away from the hustle and traffic of the beach scene. The condo is in a quiet area with some great local eateries, a nice coffee shop, a grocery store and other shopping within minutes - totally accessible even on a bicycle from the condo. In fact although we ran out of time on this trip and were not able to experience personally, but the Red Bug Slough is right down the road and is supposed to have great walking paths - next trip for sure! The condo itself was perfect for the three of us to hang out together but also have our own space. The unit itself is bright and open. There are ceiling fans in the bedrooms as well as the living room and that was important for us. The walk-in shower in the main bedroom is nice to use with both a rainfall and hand-held shower wand - make sure the wand is NOT facing the door when you turn on the water! The kitchen is surprisingly roomy with large counters for food preparation and there are all new appliances which was a nice perk. Finally I have to mention the screen porch (as we northerners say) and the pool; it was SO nice to sit in the lanai in the quite of the morning or in the evening after the day’s activity, and even with all of the beaches so close, it was nice to opt for a day at the condo and hanging at the pool, just grab a towel and a water and walk over for a cooling dip and reading a book in the sun. Just lovely. Thank you Steve & Susan we are looking forward to April 2022! Holly ##### Holly M.

Very clean, modern and comfortable. The kitchen is really well equipped with all essentials and bonus of Tupperwares, ziplocks and staple spices, which is rare in rentals. We also loved how spacious and beautiful the space was. 2 full baths was amazing for my 2 kids. As was having a full washer/dryer (with soap provided!) and dishwasher. Everything was super handy and Steve was super attentive and responsive.There was a handy stroller for beach chairs and coolers as well. And even a pickle ball set!!! We had a blast!I thought the pool was right next to the property based on the photos, but you have to walk across a couple buildings to get to it and it’s shared with the entire complex (there were usually 2-4 people there). Nonetheless, it’s a lovely and heated pool and the drive to Siesta is just 15 min away. We enjoyed both!!We will definitely be back! ##### Leilani A.

Steve was outstanding. We had everything we needed for our stay and more. Steve allowed us to borrow his bikes for which we were so vey grateful. We had been plenty of towels, and high quality beach chairs, umbrella and a wagon. The pans provided were extremely high quality- thank you! The pool was large(6'6" at deep end! And was heated so we could enjoy it daily. The neighbors are friendly- some permanent residents and some renting- we really enjoyed our time here. We usually stay close to downtown Sarasota but decided to try Gulf Gate this time. There are many fantastic restaurants in the area and 10-15 min to Siesta Key beach. Thanks for a wonderful stay!! ##### Cynthia K.

First time snow-birders and loving it! One word to describe condo unit: “AWESOME!” There’s so much to say about condo unit not sure where to begin. Location is central to ALL! Minutes to Siesta Key & Sarasota Bay. Very close to Bradenton and or Venice and all their amazing beaches. Place is totally renovated with large spaces/ rooms. Master bath and dressing room/walk-in closet amazing. Waterfall and handheld showers. Guest bathroom perfect and very accommodating. Linen closet filled with extra beach towels, new cooler, extra toilet paper/paper towel. All soaps, detergents well stocked. Owners thought about anything and everything you could possibly need/want to make your stay as comfortable as possible. It was, as my title states, truly home away from home! The open space concept is what hits you first upon entry. The decor and all the accents were perfect and had a very New England Coastal feel. Not only did we like the attention to detail but the furniture and beds were all comfortable. No complaints whatsoever! The owners thought of everything: more than enough fluffy soft towels, linens for all the beds, extra blankets, comfy pillows throughout bedrooms and living room, very comfortable recliner (which made my husband quite happy). Even had great selection of books and games for entertainment. Lovely new leather sofa bed. Kitchen well stocked with enough dinnerware, silverware, glasses, wine glasses, coffee mugs, all appliances you could ever need even down to a mixer for baking and 2 different blenders. Enough bakeware, casseroles, Pyrex etc. ok- so maybe I’m getting into too much detail and could go on and on. Did I mention how pleasurable it was meeting owner. He was so prompt/responsive to any questions. Lanai door wasn’t gliding properly immediately next day Steve came and had repair guy fix. And made sure we had all we needed and even said he could provide other items for grandkids who were coming down for their winter break. Owner was never Intrusive and would always ask if ok to come by ( for instance - change the AC filter or drop off extra chairs for dining). Available within minutes of a text. Lanai was really nice and even supplied us with beach chairs /umbrella and boogie boards. Pool was a very short walk from condo and nice to relax in on non beach days. Very well kept. We couldn’t have asked for more! Made our long term stay an extremely awesome experience! Thanks to Steve and Susan for having us! ##### Rosalie C.
