About this property

Sarasota Garden Retreat

This quiet private guest suite has its own patio & grill. It's located in a classic Gulfcoast Florida neighborhood, minutes from I-75 and a stone's throw from the nation's #1 sugar sand beach on Siesta Key!

The kitchenette opens to a shaded patio with grill. The bedroom with blackout shades overlooks a yard of native Florida plants and a firepit and has extras like USB outlets, wifi-enabled TV & lighted makeup mirror.

This place is 5 minutes from restaurants, breweries and stores, 10 from The Legacy Trail (a rail-to-trail biking, jogging, walking path) and 15 from Siesta Key Beach and within half an hour of many other stellar beaches.. There are two parks with trails within walking distance. For traveling nurses: Doctor’s Hospital is 2 miles at most and just 15 minutes to Sarasota Memorial. There’s a bus stop close by.

The bedroom includes distinctive touches, like a touch-lighted magnification makeup mirror, highback comfy chair and USB outlets on each side of the bed. The 45” wifi-enabled TV has Netflix and capability for you to log into your accounts.

The kitchenette opens to the patio and is equipped with Keurig and complimentary coffee / tea, mini fridge with ice cube tray and ice pack, microwave and cooking/eating utensils and plates. Water from of the tap in Sarasota exceeds national water quality standards, making it better than bottles of water that can get into our beautiful Gulf of Mexico, and the bathroom showerhead has several spray settings.

You’re welcome to walk around the yard and relax in the evening in front of a fire. For the beach, there are a couple towels, chairs and noodles for the ocean.

For guests staying at least a month, use of the shared kitchen in the main home and the washer & dryer are permitted with prior approval.

Vrbo is more frequently used for standalone spaces; so while this one is part of the main house, it is completely separate, self-contained and private so that only you access the area. As someone who has enjoyed in-home BnBs as a tourist in the U.S. and abroad for decades, I’m quiet and respectful of others. The bright, airy kitchenette is located upon entering the space in a renovated portion of the “garage” – which is a huge space with windows and ventilation used entirely as a regular room; vehicles are never in it. Though I can access my side of that space, your area provides full privacy.

Jack cat accesses the main home and outdoor spaces – keeping the area free from pesky critters. While he’s accustomed to scouting the grill area, he’ll likely be tentative with guests. When pulling into the driveway, please use caution.

Absolutely no smoking or vaping inside or outside anywhere on the property. Please wash off facial makeup before using the towels and sheets, and clean your dishes before you leave.

Room is in a home that you can hear what is going on in the rest of the house, still very tolerable.

About the host

Hosted by Dianne

Host profile image
Travel keeps me sane. I've been to all lower 48 states, 6 of the 10 Canadian Provinces, 8 other countries and 1 US Territory ... and am planning a southern European trip with my daughter for later this spring! I've slept in pup tents, beach-homes, a yurt, a treehouse, cheap motels, luxury cabins, myriad AirBnBs, hostels, once in a Chevy Chevette and many dreamy nights in my RV, and for a few days on an ocean liner. I eat well, live clean and try to laugh abit along the way.

Why they chose this property

The location of this place is excellent for visitors. It's halfway between the ocean and the upland scrub. It's quiet yet close to restaurants, arts culture and night life.
