Very cozy

Very small, but clean. Nicely decorated. Description states bottled water was provided. We did not get any bottled water. My only complaint was the nasty, worn out, torn paper shades on the door and kitchen windows. Made the unit look cheap. Would have been nice to open the shades in the morning. Unit is attached to the main house so we could hear the residents.

Sarasota Stay

The house was very clean, but it is older and worn looking. The bed was comfy and the towels were very nice. The shower was the perfect height for me and I am 5 foot 2, but for my 6 foot husband, it was too short. There is another unit they rent that shares a walk through laundry room with the main house. I thought the units were on the same property but detached. The only thing that separates the two units is the walk through laundry room. The is only a push button lock on the door knob. I would have felt better if there had been a dead bolt I could have latched on our side of the door. When the other people would move around in their unit, it sounded like they were literally in our kitchen. Also, where they park is right under the window of the master bedroom where we were sleeping. They were quiet, but they got back to their unit very late and when they locked their car their horn was very loud and gave us a jump scare as we were already asleep. If we had family with us it would be annoying to only have one bathroom for three bedrooms.

short review

Everything looked clean; although there was a paper cup on top of bathroom mirror, there was a lot of crumbs under the sofa cushions, kids toys under tv stands, mouse dropping in corner kitchen cabinet where hood vents to the outside. This tells me a thorough cleaning was not done. There wasn't a convenient way to access the backyard from inside the house. travelled with small child and not comfortable leaving her inside while in backyard with quick access. I wasn't aware there was a shared room with the other tenants. I was very uncomfortable sleeping not knowing who they were and how easily they could have accessed our side of the house. Plus they were up much later doing laundry, which was unfortunate. Speaking of laundry it was very inconvenient to use and I had to fold a load of towel before I could use the dryer. I do like the set up if using the entire house and will keep this in mind when traveling with more family members. Thank you
