The space
The Sun Haven House is a comfortable MCM home in a friendly, residential neighborhood. I LOVE my neighbors! Walk to Red Bug Slough Preserve for a nice park experience. This is my home when I am visiting Sarasota so I keep it up to date and make sure it is super clean and comfortable. Kitchen has everything you need to make meals at home. Spices, oil, sugar are some of the basics.

Two nicely furnished bedrooms at opposite ends of the house makes sharing the home with friends or extended family a comfortable experience. Each bedroom has keypad locks to keep your area private. Codes are provided on request. Button on inside door to disengage the lock, if you prefer.

Fully stocked kitchen with all the cooking essentials. Plenty of ceramic dishes and options for unbreakables for more casual dining. Full sized, newer stainless steel appliances including microwave and dishwasher.

Both full bathrooms have showers and main bath has a tub option. They both come equipped with hand-held bidets to get a fresher clean and reduce toilet paper use. Two hair-dryers and one curling iron to help get you ready for your day. A wall-mounted makeup mirror is ready to assist with makeup details. A clothes steamer is provided as a safer, more gentle way to get those wrinkles out.

Relax on the screen lanai that overlooks your private, fully fenced back yard. Lanai has a ceiling fan with lights to keep things cool and tiki lights to enhance the evening mood. Back yard also has landscape lighting to add to the ambiance. An electric grill is included so you can cook out and relax at the same time.

Starter rolls of paper towels, toilet paper, trash bags, dish soap and dishwasher pods are provided. Eco-friendly cleaning supplies are available to keep your space tidy during your stay.

This home is set up for comfortable, long stays in paradise!
