It wis very quiet and private. The backyard is large, completely enclosed with a beautiful 6' wooden fence.

Bright sunny rental with ample space for 2 people. Walkable to many things within a mile. Off street parking a bonus!

I drove down from GA and when I passed Gainesville FL host called on my cellphone claiming the circuit breaker had gone out and the linens had not been washed and would not be ready by 4 PM. Luckily, I got there later. There were no bowls in the kitchen. There was no can opener in the kitchen. I had to request both.The place was cute but had a musty odor. The HVAC return was covered with dirt. What looked like a kitchen drawer was a fake drawer and when I tried to open it, it fell out and hit my foot. Because of my asthma, I had asked the host not to use Glade plug-ins or scented candles and she did comply. She also claimed she washed linens in fragrance free which I did not actually request. However, the place was musty and damp so it was not OK for me and I told her I would probably have to leave the next morning. She told me she was not responsible for my sensitivities so I said OK. She went downstairs and texted me a long somewhat threatening message concluding by telling me I had better not complain. I packed up at 4 AM and waited in my vehicle until daylight to drive off and check into the Courtyard Marriott later that day.I was down there on a doctor consult. I am so glad I was honest and stayed w VRBO as they have protected me from an unscrupulous host.

Our VRBO experience was very disappointing. The air conditioning was broken, and we recieved no prior notification about it. The host new it was broken and hadnt even scheduled reparis.

My host was exceptional! I travel frequently and have stayed in many hosted homes/apartments, but I have never had someone go above and beyond like this time! She even had extra food and snacks for me when my flight was delayed and did not arrive until after midnight. She checked on me regularly and was very patient! Apartment was extremely cute and has all the amenities you could need. 100% recommend!

Incredibly Cute & Convenient
We checked in on the later side and Christie was very accommodating. We loved the unit, the backyard and the location was perfect for a conference we were attending. What a great escape in the heart of downtown Sarasota with wonderful decor and exceptional host communications!
