NAMED #1 BEST VACATION RENTAL WITH POOL IN SARASOTA BY TRIP 101 TRAVEL GUIDE MAGAZINE FOR 2022.
This is a nicely remodeled 650 square foot one bedroom apartment in a historic home located in the coveted safe Northwest Sarasota neighborhood. Outside is your small but quaint front porch. Your front door leads directly into a funky well equipped ovenless galley kitchenette with mini-fridge / freezer. Beyond there you will enjoy tropical-chic decor, original artwork, quality furnishings, petite chandelier over comfy king bed and clean vintage En-Suite bathroom. OUT BACK IS YOUR PRIVATE LANAI, HEATED POOL and OUTDOOR SHOWER. All CLOTHING OPTIONAL. Totally private and not shared with anyone.
The vibe in this apartment will either relax or entice you. Alternative lifestyle friendly allows you the freedom to totally be yourself away from your home town. Create some new memories. A short one block stroll will reward you with awesome sunsets at our tiny waterfront park where local neighbors and college students gather at sunset. You will have 24 hour access to your villa apartment. You will have access to Florida beach chairs free to use. Northwest Sarasota is safe and friendly and truly Old Florida. The vegetation is old growth and awesome. Very tropical. Houses are an eclectic mix of modern to over 100 years old and modest to mansion. There are three colleges in the neighborhood, a word class museum, micro-brew pub, and Starbucks is in walking distance. Downtown Main Street is 1.5 miles for excellent restaurants, shopping and night life without fighting traffic. Sarasota is mainly a car reliant city. However, the public bus stop is a two block walk. Taxis and Uber are readily available. SRQ airport is a ten minute drive.

The sugar white sands of Lido Beach (my favorite) is a short 10 minute drive. World famous Siesta beach is a 20 minute drive. 1 block walk to Sarasota Bay.

    Host welcoming. Beautiful, safe location. Great restaurants nearby. Be sure to visit Ringling College. Student art on display and some for sale at Ringling Madeby students. Wonderful heated pool and hot tub. Loved outdoor shower. As always had Yoder’s cream pie! Visited Coquina beach on AMI. Great beach! Thanks again Roy!

    The house is as advertised. Very private and relaxing property for two people. Excellent location to explore Sarasota or to take long walks. Very convenient to downtown and beaches.

    Roys place is a cute little get away for a weekend or short stay. The pool and hot tub are wonderful. The kitchen is not set up for a longer stay where cooking would be involved and the bathroom is smallish for two but for a weekend getaway it's a great little spot to unwind!

    Great place to stay. Just as advertised. Very accommodating host. Fun patio, pool, and hot tub area. Beautiful, walkable neighborhood. Sunset view over Sarasota Bay right down the block. Quick and easy drive to downtown restaurants, grocery stores, Lido Key Beach, museums, and the airport.

    Roy's place was perfect. Just what my husband and I needed for our anniversary getaway. The pool and hot tub were great! We used the pool and outdoor shower every day. Location is a quiet little neighborhood that is convenient to everything. The house is neat and tidy and well kept. The tropical plants around in the back for all the privacy you could want! We stayed the whole week and were very sad to have to leave. 10/10 would absolutely stay again. This place was our own tropical deserted island

    Roy’s place is always a nice tropical getaway and Roy is a great host. The pool, hot tub, and walkable neighborhood keep bringing me back. Foodies should know that the kitchen is sparsely supplied (no oven, few spices, few pots and pans, no Saran Wrap etc) so plan on bringing many of your own basics or plan on eating out ?.

    Enjoyed the very private, well equipped casita. Roy was a great and very attentive host right on the property. He even found a place for our bikes. We want to come back but already booked. This is a winner.
