This unit was wonderful for our 2 month stay. It was spotless, and provided all the amenities needed for a long term rental. Katya was so helpful in making sure our stay was comfortable & provided us great recommendations for events & restaurants in Sarasota. Jefferson Pines is a lovely, peaceful community. The pool is kept pleasantly warm in winter months & is well maintained. We enjoyed our time in Sarasota.
10 / 10Outstanding·Mar 2024
Very pleasant condo with lots of natural light. Not fancy but clean and comfortable with updated furnishings. Approximately 1,000 sq ft. Older safe neighborhood, close to everything. 5-10 minute bike ride to downtown and Legacy Trail. 10-15 minute drive to St Armand's Circle & Lido Key Beach. The beach chairs in unit were a real plus. The property manager was very informative and accommodating which made our stay very enjoyable. She provided some basic start up food items when we checked in so we didn't have to race to the grocery store. This was our first time as a snowbird (Jan-Feb) and we had a great time!
10 / 10Outstanding·Dec 2023
My stay was a month long. The property is in a quiet complex near downtown Sarasota. It was convenient to the beaches, shopping, events, etc. The property host, Katya, was just terrific. She communicated thoroughly and often. She made my visit very easy and pleasant, including having a few groceries on hand for when I first arrived. She offered suggestions for restaurants and nearby events. The property itself was very comfortable and as described in the listing. It has everything you need. I did laundry often and it was great to have good appliances for that. I would rent there again, in part, because of how well the rental was communicated and handled. Katya was great and so very helpful throughout!
10 / 10Outstanding·May 2023
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Our villa was in a perfect location especially for us as our daughter who was about to be wed lived so close. It's also close to downtown Sarasota and the beautiful beaches. Kayta is an awesome host who went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed which was much appreciated. We highly recommend this VRBO!
