Communication was great! This is a very simple basic place to stay for the night. It is walking distance to the beach. The room was very small, but perfect just for one night. Parking was great and safe.

I rented the 2 bedroom condo - The condo is a little outdated with the furniture it has but it was clean, everything worked. The staff was friendly and very serviceable. The area is very quiet and walkable distance to the beach. They provide 2 beach towels but they are standard towel size I recommend you bring your own. They do provide the very little sitting beach chairs. I definitely recommend the place for a short getaway.

All the reviews about this property owner being the Hostess with the Mostest are 100% on point. I made a very last minute reservation which she accommodated with the utmost grace. When the neighboring room kept me awake, she moved me to a different, quieter room. Again, with nothing but the utmost grace. The room was clean and tidy, the bed oh-so-comfortable. I will be back on my next trip to Sarasota. Thank you so much for the over the top hospitality. God bless you and your family.
