Villa & Garden in Downtown Sarasota ~ Walkable to downtown, 5 Minutes to Beaches

Our coastal chic, contemporary Sun Villa is situated in Sarasota’s charming downtown historic neighborhood of Laurel Park. The villa's garden hideaway is a real Floridian oasis, complete with fire pit and sun loungers. Downtown and all its restaurants, bars and shops is just on your doorstep. Plus 3 sugar white beaches – including Siesta Beach one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Lido Beach is only a 5-min ride away!

We’ve poured our hearts & souls into this villa, it's our family business.

Our stylish open-plan 3-Bedroom Sun Villa has been tastefully decorated with brand-new furniture and all the latest mod-cons in a fresh coastal theme. Several floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with loads of natural light, and ceiling fans throughout keep the Florida heat at bay.

The 3 bright bedrooms are decorated in soothing colors with a relaxed beach vibe, each making for a real haven to retreat to. The master bedroom comes with a comfortable Queen-size bed and generous walk-in closet. The other two bedrooms come with a Double beds and ample storage. The room adjacent to the dining room features soundproof glass and privacy shades. There are 2 modern generously-sized bathrooms (one en-suite) in crisp white decor with walk-in showers.

◼ The open-plan living/dining room invites to relaxation and entertainment featuring a plush couch (which doubles as Queen-size sofa-bed) and a 55” TV with full Smart TV (Netflix, Amazon, ect.) for cozy movie nights — and you’ll naturally have access to hi-speed Wi-Fi throughout your stay!

◼ While Sarasota's culinary scene is definitely worth exploring, sometimes nothing beats a home-cooked meal. The kitchen comes fully equipped with top of the range appliances and is stocked with everything you need for a relaxing stay with friends or family – including two coffee makers (one of which is an Espresso machine) at your disposal. We’ve also left you some complementary coffee and water.

◼ You’ll especially love the secluded backyard surrounded by palm trees, foliage and night lighting ​– a perfect place to savor your freshly brewed morning coffee and enjoy al fresco dining with your tribe! ​Here you’ll find a dining table for 6, along with a fire pit, lounge chairs and BBQ to make the most out of the Sarasota weather. If you are travelling with little ones they’ll love the S’mores-making!

When you decide to leave this Floridian sanctuary, you’ll have all your desired amenities within walking distance with plenty to do and see for all ages!

You will have full access to the entire villa during your stay, with a private garden and parking. Check-in is easy and flexible as we have an electronic door lock. We want you to enjoy every minute of your stay in our villa! We welcome your questions and feedback and commit to a timely response.

Excellent property in the charming Laurel Park district

We were totally happy with this vacation rental. All its features were as advertised, including the private backyard with grill and fire pit. The kitchen was well stocked with all necessary tools and utensils (we think we counted four(!) blenders -- probably overkill unless you're seriously into margaritas). A key feature was the immediate neighborhood. Laurel Park calls itself Sarasota's artistic district, and that shows up in the delightful architecture of surrounding homes. Just strolling around the adjoining streets was a pleasure. The house itself is on a quiet cul-de-sac, so virtually no traffic. We'd also give it top marks for overall cleanliness.Generally when I review things I like to find at least one nit to pick, but it's not obvious what that would be. If I had to I'd point out that, while downtown is walkable, it's probably a fifteen to twenty minute stroll. But we always found it easy to drive -- Sarasota's parking is cheap and convenient.All in all, this rental perfectly filled our travel needs. We'd be happy to recommend it.

Sarasota Laurel Park

Nice attached home in the pleasant old but gentrifed downtown neighborhood of Laurel Park. We were able to walk safely almost everyplace we waned to go, including shops and restaurants galore. The home has nice amenities, such as a nice kitchen, large gas barbecue, and big living-room/dining area. One quirky feature not clear in photos is the third bedroom which is glassed in and intrudes on the living space and passage to the backyard—making things awkward for more than 4 adults.

Pleasant stay - Great hosts

We (my husband, my 2 adult kids and I) enjoyed our stay in Sarasota. I liked the neighborhood. It was easy to reach all the busy places and yet quiet with cute houses. Great location! The kitchen was great for those that might prefer to make some of the meals home. Beds were comfortable. The backyard and small porch were nice additions. There is a bedroom between living room and access to the backyard but that caused no inconvenience for us. The living room setup was nice to spend time together. We enjoyed our rounds of card games. Thank you Chris and Joanna.

We hoped we would get lucky with the weather but we had to leave early due to Hurricane Milton. The house is lovely and we enjoyed the time we did have there. Chris was great with keeping us updated on the weather, just in case we missed it.

Great location

Cute place located in a historic district in the heart of downtown. I could jog from the house to the waterfront park and enjoy the view on my jog- a big bonus! Loved their welcome book. It had lots of great info about the area. You do have to walk through a bedroom to access the backyard but as one of my kids slept in this room it wasnt a big deal.
