All the reviews about this property owner being the Hostess with the Mostest are 100% on point. I made a very last minute reservation which she accommodated with the utmost grace. When the neighboring room kept me awake, she moved me to a different, quieter room. Again, with nothing but the utmost grace. The room was clean and tidy, the bed oh-so-comfortable. I will be back on my next trip to Sarasota. Thank you so much for the over the top hospitality. God bless you and your family.

I rented the 2 bedroom condo - The condo is a little outdated with the furniture it has but it was clean, everything worked. The staff was friendly and very serviceable. The area is very quiet and walkable distance to the beach. They provide 2 beach towels but they are standard towel size I recommend you bring your own. They do provide the very little sitting beach chairs. I definitely recommend the place for a short getaway.

Clean, comfortable, short walk to beautiful beach

Our room was nicer than I expected, after reading several of the reviews. AC worked fine, shower water was cool, but weather was hot so we didn't mind. Hotel provides beach chairs, which we used and appreciated. Beach parking lots were packed, so we loved the location of the hotel. We would definitely stay here again--much cheaper than nearby alternatives.

This property is not for a family vacation. The photos don't represent the facility. My 12 year old daughter cried herself to sleep the first night because she was terrified to sleep in the condo. Pull out bed from couch is not an option nor is the rollaway bed. It was springbreak 2025 so we were stuck with no options to relocate. We did see a cockroach in the master bathroom on our last night there. We did inform Patricia of this and she apologized and mentioned that the exterminator was out that week Wednesday and told her that the chemicals can make them active. Not even sure how much we paid for the week as it was wrapped into the overall cost of the trip. The location is good cause you can walk to the beach and the circle other than that we do not recommend this property. This property needs a large investment to improve it, if it weren't for the multi-million dollar homes around it, the property gives off stabby vibes.

Pros-beautiful neighborhood, location (around 8 min walk to beach and st Armand's circle), availability to rent nightly instead of weekly, fairly clean,safe neighborhood, cute decor, some cookies left at supply station. Cons-Everywhere you look is evidence of trying to save money. No light bulbs in ceiling fan. Old mattress squeaked SO bad, woke us up when one got out during night and backache next day. 3 windows didn't close. Closet doors broken, old sofa squeaked badly and not comfortable. Bare minimum supplies. No beach towels as listed, beach chairs provided are small and uncomfortable. They did provide additional towels when requested later that day. Bathtub drained very slowly while showering. Make sure front door is locked when you leave by pulling the door tight while locking. If you know what you are getting ahead of time, it makes it better. If the price was right, I'd stay again, but would prefer to try something different first.
