Hidden Gem

The house affords you everything you could possibly want and need!! Then, outside of the house you have the closeness to eateries, bars, grocery stores, beaches, hiking, etc. It definitely is YOUR HOME AWAY FROM HOME!!!!!

An Oasis

The property was charming and comfortable. It is conveniently located near the beach, approximately a 10-minute drive away. While the main bedroom does not have a television, the second bedroom has a decent-sized TV. The lanai is wonderful and the backyard is equipped with a hammock. The property provides all the necessary beach essentials. Overall, it was a delightful stay. 😊

About the host

Hosted by Kirby

Host profile image
My name is a Kirby and I was born and raised in Denver. I love to travel and learn about the history of new places as well as the people and their stories and they way they approach life. Avid animal lover and have a wolfadoodle and 2 cats with Cameron.

Why they chose this property

We have come to the area for years but over covid spent a month in Sarasota exploring and riding a bike around town and fell in love with the little Goldielocks feel of the area ( not too big, not too small). The indian Beach sapphire shores area has a rich history and it’s got this jungle feel 2 blocks to the water with all these amazing huge homes but it’s a really old neighborhood so with all this lush overgrown greenery, it’s really peaceful and clean and nice. Being by the school ensures the safety of the area but it’s also really quiet and we don’t mind that at all and love wandering the hood in the evenings around sunset. It’s also super close to downtown and lido beach which is our favorite.

What makes this property unique

One block away you have this adorable local coffee shop/bookstore, a local bar with good food and fancy cocktails open until 2 am, and a Starbucks, Walgreens, grocery, dunkin all within 2 blocks so it’s walkable but not in all the busy areas and so it feels like you have the best of both worlds
