Vacation, Sunny house 2 Mil beach .Pets welcome
Wojciech was a great host - let us drop groceries off and check in early! The house was a 10 min drive to everything we had planned. We appreciated all of the beach amenities!

Enjoy brand new vacation 2/2 condo & water park!
Host was very responsive to questions before and during our stay. This was our first time renting an Airbnb so that was so helpful. This is a great condo with easy access to the beach, restaurants, shops and more.

Pickleball! Pond! Private Heated Pool! Foosball
We had a great stay here! The pool was fantastic after long beach days, and we all enjoyed playing pickleball. The house was large, clean and very well equipped. Thank you for a wonderful Spring Break!

Blue Heron Cottage - Anna Maria Island
Loved the location near Bean Point beach. The beach up there is beautiful. We just had to pull the cart to the top of Fern Street, a very short walk, and the Beach access was there. We used the outdoor space, the electric BBQ and being able to do our laundry was a bonus. We enjoyed several Restaurants and the Bridge Street Pier and shops. We even did a dolphin boat trip from Bridge Street Pier which was good. The accommodation was spacious and very well equipped. A short walk to the free trolley which goes up and down the island and the app shows live trolley times. We had a great stay.

Luxury ~ Heated Pool ~ Games ~ near AMI, IMG, SRQ
Edward’s place worked out perfectly for us. I was there on business and everything worked out for me and my team. We grilled while there. As most airbnbs the kitchen had basics for cooking. If I have another project in the area, I will definitely consider Edward’s place.

Amazing views & steps to beach 2B-2Bath-Pool 333
We had a great trip. The location was perfect with a nice view of the intercostal channel and an easy 5 min walk to the beach access. Quiet and peaceful for this time of the year and just what we were looking for. The apartment was big enough for the 4 of us, comfortable bedrooms and spacious living room. Our host was friendly, quick to respond and accommodating. We would certainly like to return and rent back from her. 10 and of 10
2 bedroom in great location
Our family with small children had a brief but wonderful stay in Treasure Island. The condo was extremely nice and clean, the building felt safe, and the beach was only a very short walk away. We loved being able to see sunsets over the Gulf from the condo!

Your guide to Sarasota
All About Sarasota
Located an hour south of Tampa on Florida’s Gulf Coast, the city of Sarasota boasts white-sand beaches lined with high-rise buildings that overlook calm turquoise ocean waters. While it’s known primarily for its pristine beaches, Sarasota has much more to offer. There is no shortage of green space in the city, with hiking trails through the Celery Fields wetlands and kayak trips through the mangroves in Ted Sperling Park. For a break from the outdoor temperatures, or to dodge a summer storm, head indoors and experience some of the area’s rich history and culture at one of the many galleries or the Ringling Museum and Sarasota Art Museum. Sarasota is also a popular pushing-off point for exploring nearby barrier islands like Siesta Key, with its secluded beaches and kayaking coves.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Sarasota
While there is little variation between average temperatures across the seasons, some activities are more easily enjoyed at specific times of the year. Spring in Sarasota offers very little rain and warm temperatures. Although the Gulf waters tend to be too chilly to enjoy the many water-related activities that Sarasota has to offer, this is a great time to go fishing, biking, and kayaking. As the temperatures heat up for the summer, you can expect more rainfall, as this is considered Sarasota’s rainy season.
While you may have to dodge a few storms during your stay, summer is the best time for swimming and enjoying the beach. Autumn is often an optimal time to look for Sarasota vacation rentals because the air temperatures are slightly cooler and more comfortable than during the summer months, but the Gulf waters remain warm. This coincides with hurricane season, so stay on top of weather forecasts if planning to travel between June and November. Winters experience mild and sometimes cool temperatures. This is a great time to enjoy Sarasota while avoiding chillier temperatures in the northern parts of the country.

The Marie Selby Botanical Gardens cover 15 acres with thousands of living plants and preserved specimens, making it a small paradise in the heart of the city.
