Come live the simple life:
Not quite two miles from the Best Beach in the World, this lovely little home boasts an open floor plan with kitchen and dining area combined with a family room for easy and spacious living.
The 1140 square foot living space was built in 1963 in one of Sarasota's most convenient neighborhoods, Gulf Gate. The master bedroom features a queen size bed, dual night stands, dresser and Smart TV. The second bedroom offers one twin and one full bed. A sharedbath features a frolicking beach theme with a tub/shower combo. The second bathroom offers a stall shower and new washer and dryer. A new dishwasher, coffee maker, waffle maker and stainless kettle round out the well appointed kitchen.
The paver patio out back is framed with Areca and Adonidia palms and offers time in the sun or tend to your BBQ on the gas grill. Dine out on the patio table and enjoy the breezes through the privacy palms.
A single car port provides shelter for your vehicle.
Walk or enjoy the beach cruisers into the Gulf Gate area restaurants, bars and shops, and continue on another easy mile to Siesta Key over the South Bridge. A quiet, tucked away residential neighborhood that is amazingly close to the best that Sarasota has to offer. Discounts available for 30 day plus bookings.
This home is set up exclusively for VRBO. You will not be tangling yourself up in any one else's possessions. We've all been there, and it can be a little weird. The Half Moon House is a simple solution to your Sarasota holiday needs and operated with your comfort and convenience as our first priority.
Please note!!! If you would like to reserve the Half Moon House for longer than 4 weeks, please send us an inquiry first. VRBO does not allow for a maximum booking feature, but we need to communicate with you prior to booking extended stays. Thank you!!!
While our home is clean, convenient and safe, please not that it is an older home. We always price fairly to reflect. Please see our nearly perfect five star reviews!

    Great location and great host. Super accommodating to what we needed. Spacious for our group of 4 adults. Quiet and well established neighborhood close to many things, such as Siesta Key and Detweiler’s Market. Beach towels, chairs, umbrella and cooler available for our use. Nice outdoor seating area and BBQ. Would definitely stay here again!

    Local was great, close to beach, restaurants and everything Sarasota. House was very clean and had everything needed, especially towels. Less than a 10 minute drive to Siesta Keys beach, 20 minutes to downtown area. Having 2 bathrooms for this size house was definitely a big plus.

    Nestled in safe, quiet, beautiful Gulf Gate, this lovely home is less than 10 minute drive to Siesta Beach. Many shops and amenities within 1 mile.Property itself was lovely! Spotless and tidy. Nice swing out front, a lanai out back and backyard both with seating areas. House had everything we needed and more: 2 bikes, camping chairs, large cooler on wheels & beach towels. 2 lg bedrooms, master w/ king bed, 2nd w/ a double and a single. Both rooms had large closets. 2 bathrooms which thankfully had some extra toiletries in case yours explode in your suitcase as ours did!Full kitchen with fridge, stove, microwave, dishwasher, toaster, coffee maker, all utensils, dishes, etc.. Washer, dryer, large seating areas and Alexa speaker. Host leaves easy to follow instructions on the kitchen table, access to the unit was a breeze.Rick, our host, was truly the best host we have ever experienced. There was an unpredictable breakdown of the AC unit (which had previously been working fine). We messaged him and he responded within minutes. He had the unit replaced in record time on a holiday weekend! His communication was excellent, he made sure we were not inconvenienced for 1 second and he was extrememly fair and generous with price as a result of this small unavoidable event. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and noted multiple times that it felt like home. We have friends who live in the area that were equally impressed. Highly recommend & will stay again on next trip to Sarasota!

    We very much enjoyed our stay at Half Moon. We were here for the month of February. The neighborhood is a quiet, well kept area. It is easy access to restaurants, stores, and Siesta Key. Half Moon has everything you need to enjoy your stay. This is the most well stocked place we have stayed at in Sarasota. Rick is a very responsive host.

    The property was more rundown and dusty then I expected it to be. They did have lots of things like blankets and kitchen items but I would not stay here again.

    This is an older property in a nice area with lots of activities nearby. It has everything you need for a stay. If you're looking for new and shiny, this is not the property. If you don't mind an older property, this worked well. Primarily used is as a place to sleep in between rounds of golf. Beds were comfortable, 2nd bath is a bit rustic but worked just fine. Rick was very responsive.

    We had a wonderful stay at this beach-themed home! The property was impeccably clean, and the decor truly created a relaxing, coastal atmosphere. The location was perfect for us, just a short distance from our daughter, who had just welcomed her second baby. It made visiting so easy and convenient. The home had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, and we felt right at home. Highly recommend this lovely spot for anyone looking for a peaceful, well-located getaway. The Host has every intention of making your stay a great experience.
