Great location in historic Laurel Park. Near everything. Hostess very helpful. Terrific garden area in back. Barbecued almost every night. Great fun. Hostess gave us a pleasant surprise to go with our final dinner in a classy restaurant nearby.

Clean and cozy. Will definitely vist again.

There are not enough words to express our enjoyment at Christie Abbott’s property ! The location is great, the ease of finding it great, the check-in was awesome and finding the well decorated apartment as if you were home. She has provided an excellent property with a great value. Thanks Christie, we’ll be back !,

I don’t even know where to begin! First of all this location is perfect… easy walk to Main St for restaurants, farmers mkt, boutique shopping, Whole Foods …but while you are “home” ( which is exactly what the unbelievably gracious host, Christie, creates for you to experience) you feel like you belong here and really don’t want to leave. It’s about a 10/15 min drive to St Armand’s and the beach in Lido Key. It’s a one bdrm apt with LR/ Kitchenette but the fabulously bohemian back yard is where you’ll want to sit with your coffee in the am and wine and cheese in the early evening. Host Christie has been responsive to our EVERY need This is comfortable, super clean, quiet, w/d is here for your use, you have your own parking space…honestly, it’s pretty perfect!

Our host was friendly and helpful. The yard in back was thoughtfully equipped with a nice seating arrangement. The apartment was small but had everything we needed. It's near a nice park and the Legacy Trail as well as Main Street and restaurants.

Quaint small getaway with a beautiful outdoor patio. It's right behind the artist colony and a new coffee shop with good scones and breakfast. Location is convenient to everywhere in downtown Sarasota, the botanical gardens, the parks, and shuttle to the beach. You could honestly not need a car. The unit is small but very clean and comfortable and all the necessities you need for a short stay and if you want to cook in a little. Communication with the owner was easy and no issues at all with the place. It was a great quiet stay

Host was very kind, and I loved the neighborhood!

Convenient location. Owner very responsive and helpful. Would recommend.

Very much enjoyed my stay in this apartment, right in the heart of Laurel Park. Easy walk to the downtown waterfront was about 20 minutes, and walking to Main St. restaurants was a little shorter than that. Rental was very clean! The backyard is a quiet oasis and the Laurel Park neighborhood is very old Florida and unique. Appreciated the nice artwork in the unit. And the owner is very responsive and accommodating. No complaints!

The apartment was very nicely updated. Will definitely stay there again.

We enjoyed it for the most part. Location was excellent.

Great location in Laurel Park. Walk to downtown, restaurants. Walk to Sarasota Bay. Close to airport. Exceptionally clean and newly renovated. A quiet cozy place, one of my favorites. Christie, the owner, was exceptional. 5-Star all the way. I was “Wowed” and can’t wait to stay there again.

Great property! Immaculately clean. Has everything you would need!

Christie is an excellent host and the property was exactly what we expected it to be. It was a short 10 min ride to Lido beach and St. Armand’s Circle. Christie has ensured that you have everything to enjoy your stay. We would definitely stay here again next time we’re in Sarasota.

The house is in the heart of the picturesque Laurel Park neighborhood, which was very convenient to visit my family on St. Armand's Key. Every square inch of the apartment in the older house has been updated. It was impeccably clean and the furnishings were very comfortable, although the bed could use an update. The owner was incredibly helpful and check in could not have been easier. I texted her that she was the best VRBO host I've had, and I totally mean this. While the place would not be appropriate for more than two people because of its size, it was perfect for me. The cute backyard felt like a semi-tropical oasis, and the quiet was welcome after a full day of activities with the family. I'll definitely consider this property for rental the next time I'm in Sarasota.

I absolutely love the place. It's a quaint little spot to stay when you're visiting Sarasota. Very clean and all the amenities one could need when you're home away from home. A 5 minute drive to Whole Foods or Publix. It's convenient to walkabout restaurants in the neighborhood, a 15 minute drive to pet friendly park/beach location. And there is the Mote Aquarium nearby which I thought was pretty cool to visit for a couple of hours. Christie A. is the best. Very kind person that will do anything (within reason) to accommodate your stay. Thank you again Christie for everything!

Laurel Park is within walking distance of art galleries, restaurants and shops. Set within neighborhood full of old Florida-style homes. Host anticipated all our needs. Would happily return.

Host was very responsive and accommodating. Place was cute and convenient. Overall a great stay!

A nice break from Midwest weather!

Pet friendly too. Owner left nice dog blanket, bowls, and waste bags. The apartment is just enough for a couple and a pet. Communication with owner was simple and we felt more like guests than renters.

Fit our needs well. Much nicer than just a hotel room. Very clean. Love the string lights across the back yard.

The plane was decorated so zen and nice. The backyard was beautiful especially at night. Walking distance to everything or a quick Uber. Fantastic communication between owner the entire time. It’s a great little retreat especially with our doggies. Loved it!!!!

An unforgettable long holiday weekend at Christie's in Sarasota. Cozy, well-appointed, prime location! A rare find and a hidden gem

Christie has a lovely home in the heart of downtown Sarasota. You can easily drive to the beach within 15 minutes or 2 minutes to all of the restaurants and shops downtown. I love the way the home is decorated and how updated it is. Communication was fast and easy with her via text message. The only issues I had during our stay was the heavy cigarette smell on all of the towels which made it difficult to want to dry off with them. Also, since this is an old house, you can literally hear everything the upstairs renters are saying/doing, which made it hard to sleep during their late night bedroom sessions. I wish there would have been a full length mirror somewhere too, but all in all it was a great place to stay!

We loved our stay! Christie is like a mother lion regarding her guests. She'll make sure to take great care of you! Our apartment was so comfortable, clean, cute, modern, well stocked and peaceful. This location is supremely convient too. Within walking distance of the covenant Main Street and just a short drive from Lido Beach, St. Armands Circle and Siesta Key!

Had a great stay. Everything was clean and tidy. Christie was very great to communicate with and made our stay extra special. We definitely recommend.

Great little one bedroom. Secluded, private, and quiet. But a very easy walk to everything downtown! Loved it!

We loved staying at Laurel Park! It was waling distance to many great restaurants and coffee shops. The apartment was a perfect size for two people and the parking was easy and free. Our host was fantastic as well! We highly recommend staying there.

This little gem is gorgeous. It’s so close to everything downtown. We walked to so many places. It’s also a short drive to all the beaches and shopping! We had a blast and it was always a comfort coming home here. The backyard is a huge bonus. It’s very inviting and relaxing. Christie is a phenomenal hostess. She is kind and thoughtful. She offers anything you could need and then some. She makes this experience outstanding. I look forward to coming back and staying again!!!

This was a great place for staying with our dog! The fenced yard made the unfamiliar surroundings comfortable for her and easy for us! Small but with every detail was thought about and we wanted for nothing! The full size washer and dryer was also great for lighter packing!

Very comfortable apartment in the art section of Towels Court. very walkable to all major points in the old section of Sarasota. quiet and attractive neighborhood. We really enjoyed our stay.

Enjoyed the location, walked to many downtown eateries and the waterfront
