Guest rating: 5.0 / 5
Sarasota Cozy & Clean, Near 1 Beach Siesta is a recently renovated, smoke-free apartment-style stay in Sarasota’s SouthGate neighborhood, a quiet older area known for trees and easy walking/biking. The unit has a private entrance and a designated free parking space close to the door, while sharing one wall with the neighboring space. Inside, it’s set up like a compact home base with air conditioning and heating, a full kitchen (stainless appliances, quartz countertops, oven/stove, microwave), and in-unit washer and dryer.

For downtime, guests have cable and smart TVs plus free high-speed Wi‑Fi, and beach gear is provided (chairs, umbrella, towels, cooler, and ice packs). It’s positioned about 5 miles from Siesta Key Beach and roughly 2 miles from downtown Sarasota, with restaurants and shopping nearby, as well as Sarasota Memorial Hospital and the Legacy Trail.
