Our quiet neighborhood is tucked away in South Sarasota. There is a Publix grocery store just down the street (3 min drive) for anything you may need. Make sure to look at the House Manual for all of our favorite recommendations to eat like an SRQ local!

This home is located near a city bus stop. Traffic to Siesta Key Beach (3miles) is heaviest 9 am-11 am. Quick 7 min drive to downtown Sarasota! We also have bikes you're able to use on-site! Biking distance to experience all Sarasota has to offer, like a local!
