This is an excellent rental and served us well as our base of operations for a week's stay in Sarasota.I'd say the property's prime virtue is (as the old real estate joke has it) location, location, location. It's well situated in the lovely Laurel Park district of Sarasota (known as the artists district). Even the fact that the fronting Oak St. was undergoing repairs during our stay didn't detract from that. Downtown Sarasota with all its shops, restaurants, and other activities is a reasonable walk away (about 1 mi), but driving into town and parking is doable. (Advice: before driving into the city center be sure to have the ParkMobile app installed and working on your phone.)Upon arrival we found the house in excellent condition -- everything clean and shipshape. Particularly nice was the modern walk-in shower (though its one bathroom is quite tiny). The kitchen was superbly stocked with virtually every cooking utensil a chef might need. The big screen TV came with Netflix available -- a nice feature. The house WiFi worked great for all our devices.If I had to find a nit to pick I'd suggest a couple of furniture additions. The kitchen could easily accommodate a small two-person dining table with chairs (though to be fair the stools positioned at the kitchen counter work well). Also, the main bedroom could really use a chair, both to sit in and to toss clothes onto.Overall we were very happy with the rental and would recommend it to future visitors to Sarasota.
