THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Come to colorful Sarasota! I never planned to live here, but then I discovered THIS! Looking for a community for my sister to reside in, I found myself living here as well.

Sarasota is widely known as the center of arts and culture in South Florida. In the last few years, since I moved here, the number of restaurants and entertainment venues have doubled. People travel here from all over the world, and it has been listed in dozens of magazines as a world class environment & perfect place to retire, with legendary beaches. Sarasota’s Siesta Key has actually been written up as the finest beach in the country,~ numerous times! Our villa is situated right outside downtown so no downtown buzz or traffic noise. And we have the finest pool in the in the area. . On the map that I include, you can see how close we are to everything.

In the last few years, I have hosted people from all over the world. But in recent years, my guests have been staying for so many months & rebooking that I find myself with fewer reviews! Please look at my other platform listings to see them. Personally, I have traveled extensively, And feel confident that I know what you’re looking for on your vacation.

INSIDE-Granite counters in the kitchen, upgraded lighting and appliances. This is an open layout with the sliding glass door from your comfortable kitchen to the screened private lanai.
The kitchen is equipped with everything you might need. Including a coffee maker, air fryer ,Microwave, dishwasher, ice-maker, disposal , Wine glasses!

There are two recent TVs, the bedroom and living room. Stream Wi-Fi. Feel free to log in to Netflix or other services. We have basic cable TV as well.

You’ll have excellent rest in this villa, with a recent Dream Cloud Mattress. and an ensuite bathroom. A second full bathroom (with tub) will afford you and your companion to enjoy your own spaces.

There’s a washer and dryer in our villa, and ironing board and iron, and beach towels. The pool is moments away, and it is glorious! And I’m saying that, ~ as a person who is not usually fond of pools. It is very lightly used as many of the residents in our community are snowbirds

You’ll never need a key to enter your Villa as we have a keypad. I live in Jefferson Pines as well And can answer any questions you might ever have about anything.

Our community is comprised of all age groups. While there are a number of retired people here, there are also those who go to work every day and have children. This is not a tourist community, and the minimum rental time is a month .. It’s residential so there will be an information sheet that we will ask you to complete Within a short time after your booking. This provides security, to know who your neighbors are!

Sarasota itself is a vibrant community and when you walk through the streets at night in downtown, there’s never an evening without activity and excitement and people having a wonderful time. There are events throughout the year. Entertainment, music, farmers markets…, I will provide you with Brochures and tourist info.

Walking distance from your vacation Villa, is a family owned supermarket, laundromat, family Dollar, takeout Chinese food, pharmacy, and nail parlor. Also a new Wawa with the lowest price gas around.
A little further, brings you right into downtown to a movie theater with reclining seats and low prices! And restaurants & shopping galore. Main Street is a couple of minutes away and you’ll find it bustling with all age groups and live music..

The new BAY RUNNER TROLLEY will transport you on a fun open air ride through Main Street then to the Bayfront all around Saint Armand Circle and then out To Lido Beach. Free! ! 15 minute walk from your door.

E bikes are a big thing here, as well as scooters, and regular bikes. The water sports are legendary, Kathleen’s catamarans just moments away, the Bayfront is a straight run down Fruitville Road . From the map, you can see we are perhaps 2 miles from the bayfront to one of my favorite places, O’Leary’sTikibar, and Grill, to sitting at happy hour, looking at the bay, keeping your eyes peeled for dolphins!

Our community allows just a few rentals a year,SO Longer rentals have the best shot to be accepted .

Feel free to reach out with any questions.
Other things to note
Our property is not suitable for infants under two or pets.
We do not permit combustibles such as oxygen tanks.

The gas grill that is in the lanai is not really included. However, if that is a dealbreaker for you, we can discuss it. I don’t provide the fuel. (The condo association Is considering changing their regulations concerning this.)

About the host

Hosted by katya madden

Host profile image
Hi there. As of this writing, there are limited reviews on VRBO because most of my guests have stayed multiple months.( I have many more reviews on another well-known vacation platform. )As an experienced international and domestic traveler, I pride myself on communication, clarity, and offering you friendship while you are here. I tried to anticipate what you would need for a great time and I make myself as available as necessary. I was a traveling artist exhibiting at Shows for decades and I live here in the same community. I hope you will enjoy your stay as much as I enjoy living here.

Why they chose this property

When I moved here in 2016 I thought it was the biggest secret! And I was thrilled. Over the years it has been discovered, but instead of being disappointed about that, I have found that more and more wonderful services are showing up every year in the surrounding neighborhood making our lives better and better. I will offer you details and distances of everything starting with the airport being only 15 minutes away to all the new restaurant openings and art, galleries and boutiques supermarkets and even a SPROUTS is opening a mile away (as I type this the construction is ongoing.) our community is quiet and residential, but we are moments from entertainment and stimulation of all sorts. Sports, water, activities, boating, theater, restaurants, you name it!

What makes this property unique

Villas are not profitable for real estate developers. They would take the same footprint and put multiple stories on it. In that type of rental, you have people above and below you and to the left and the right. Not so here! I love living in a villa, a little house -a little bucolic cottage with a perimeter of flowers and grass with two dedicated parking spots! Our pool is gorgeous -this type of living is not being constructed in our area. It’s a thing of the past.
