You will appreciate the quality, cleanliness and charm of this villa apartment. You can choose between cooking in the well equipped kitchen or dining al fresco in your pool side lanai. Shower under the stars in the special outdoor bamboo shower. The lush landscaping makes Roys Place an urban jungle. A short one block stroll will reward you with wonderful sunsets at our humble bay front park where local neighbors gather to chat and drink wine. You will have access to: Fully fenced back yard (very private), covered lanai, pool, grill, off street parking, laundry. This is a rare for Sarasota, jogging, bike friendly neighborhood with an excellent access along the waterfront where you will enjoy 100 year old oak trees, Spanish moss, modest houses to mansions and the beautiful Ringling Museum.

This was our first Florida getaway as a couple, and Roy’s place exceeded our expectations. We were looking for something peaceful, private, and romantic—with a pool—and this place delivered. The home, built in 1945, has a charming history (you can read about it inside the home) and was spotlessly clean and well cared for.The kitchen had everything we needed, but the real magic was the outdoor space: the private pool, hot tub, and secluded outdoor shower were our favorite parts. I only used the indoor shower once—every other shower was taken outside. It felt like a luxury space! The outdoor area was bug-free (minus a few harmless lizards), and the pool was clean, warm, and inviting.Our days became a rhythm of breakfast, swimming, showering, outings to nearby beach towns, and ending each evening back in the pool. We barely saw anyone and never even ran into Roy, who lives in the adjoining duplex—it felt like our own hidden retreat.Minor notes: pool heat fades by evening, not all hot tub jets worked, no ceiling fans (but a portable fan helped), and no TVs in the bedrooms. The outdoor shower could use better drainage. But none of that affected our experience.We absolutely loved our stay and can’t wait to return. It’s the perfect blend of Florida charm, comfort, and privacy!
