FIND YOUR HAPPY PLACE

Look no further for the most perfect of rentals on Ana María Island- peaceful, comfortable, super clean, all amenities needed for a perfect relaxed vacation and within steps of the beach. I’m so glad we chose Stephanie as our hostess. She was very accessible to any questions we had. We even got to meet her in person which was super cool cause she’s super nice. We consider this our home away from home and will be our choice for our next visit to this gorgeous island. Thank you Stephanie for being such a gracious and kind hostess.

Fantastic stay at Longboat Breeze! This was our second year. The house is perfect for us with open floor plan, wonderful heated caged pool with a view of the canal and right across from the beach on the Gulf. Great location and quiet! Stephanie is a pleasure to deal with. Great communication and very accommodating. Overall AWESOME!!!

Wonderful! Clean, safe, well-maintained property. Great communication with owner. Steps from the sugar sand beach. Highly recommend!

Stephanie is awesome!! Easy to work with, very responsive to any needs not that we had any except for restaurant advice!! The house was awesome exactly as described and Wes perfect for us!! We will be back again soon for another stay. I really can't say enough good things about our experience. It was perfect!!

We have enjoyed this property each time we have come - great location and super comfy bed!! Quick reply to any questions or concerns.

This has been our 4th year staying at the Seaside Sanctuary and we can’t say enough good things about it. Everything is clean, organized and well equipped for your beach/vacation needs. It has easy beach access, parking, laundry and is close to shopping. Stephanie is a great host! We will definitely be back next year!

Fantastic experience. The apartment was impeccable, and the communication, superb. I would be delighted to come back sometime.

We just had a really nice stay in Sarasota at Stephanie’s lovely carriage house. It is immaculately kept, very well stocked with everything we could have possibly needed and very comfortable. Stephanie is a great communicator and we would stay in any of her properties without hesitation now that we know how high her standards are. The location is ideal and we will certainly be back in touch when we visit the area again.

We found this rental the perfect place to spend a few days in Sarasota. Close to all of our needs, we found the room/suite extremely comfortable and the host more than helpful and accommodating!

Amazing property only a few steps away from the beach! Our family of 5, plus my sister had a great time! The property is lovely, and the hosts thought of everything including beach toys, chairs, coolers, tents, laundry, beach towels....everything! The leather couches were cozy and the beds and besding were comfortable. The property is in a conventient location to walk to restaurants as well. There's great communication with the owner. The only thing we regretted was leaving, but we will be back soon enough! 🙂

We had an amazing stay! House had everything we needed.

Stephanie is beyond a super host, accommodating is an understatement, as for the cottage and the experience in a word “perfect” no stone unturned no detail left out, every amenity and more, grateful to have been a guest I will definitely be back! 🙏🏻 Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home

The pink palm is a beautiful rental home! Amazingly clean and well stocked. We had everything we needed! The owner was very responsive and accommodating.

Our stay at 207 Spruce Ave Second house from the beach was absolutely amazing To start Stephanie went above and beyond to accommodate our early arrival. The condo was in a great location We stayed in the upper unit which was very clean and had everything we needed to prepare meals along with all of the beach supplies you can possibly need. To add, everything for the beach was in very good condition The master bedrooms bed was very comfortable which made for a good nights rest after a long day at the beach which was only steps away from the condo. We definitely will return to Stephanie’s home soon. Renee and Kirk Gonzales

Location was amazing - we walked everywhere. The house was super comfortable and had everything we needed, including beach gear. Stephanie was a gracious host and had great recommendations for restaurants and secluded beach spots

This was our third year staying at the Seaside Sanctuary. The location is fantastic and the accommodations are perfect. Stephanie is a great hostess, we really could not ask for more. Hoping to return again next year.

We had a wonderful stay at Coral Skies in Sarasota! A clean and beautifully decorated home with all the necessities a home needs. The beautiful pool and large patio was perfect. The huge backyard was a big hit with our dog. The neighbourhood is lovely and quiet, but close to all shopping needs. Crescent beach is walking distance and beautiful Siesta beach is only a 5 minute drive away. Stephanie was a great host and quickly responded to any questions we had throughout our stay. We highly recommend this wonderful property and we will surely be back! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Our stay at Seaside Sanctuary was wonderful! We have been staying there for many years and continue to come back because we love this “home away from home”. The house is so clean, comfortable and welcoming! Stephanie adds those extra touches that really stand out. Having the small necessities available like garbage bags, detergent, sponges and other essentials is very much appreciated. Stephanie is quick to respond and helpful with suggestions. This house is only a few steps from the beach, making this vacation house perfect! We look forward to staying here again!

Again, Mike and Stephanie went overboard to make sure our stay on Anna Maria was perfect. The unit on Spruce Avenue is the perfect place to enjoy the island life.

Lovely home, great yard and pool. On a bit of a noisy street, but so much sunshine, warm weather and access to all Siesta Key has to offer makes this a great place to vacation! Lovely host and great communication.

Clean, meticulously maintained, great place to “work away” from home or just enjoy the gorgeous backyard and proximity to the beach. The home is comfortable and cheerful from the decor down to the dishes. Beautiful, quiet neighborhood less than a mile (easy walk) from restaurants and Siesta Key. Great communication. Thoughtful touches like ergonomic office chair tucked away in the closet and fully stocked kitchen -things most owners never consider and renters may not even know they’ll be grateful for. We loved our month here and would rent from Stephanie again in a second. A+ all around.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Carriage House. The snacks and chocolate on our pillows were a welcoming touch. The Guest Book was most helpful to find excellent restaurants and local activities. One of the best things about the Carriage House is how close everything is to this location. Stephanie and Mike are very friendly and great hosts. Thank you for making our stay in Sarasota a memorable one.

Rented a house for a week on anna Marie Island. It was a wonderful experience! The king bed is super comfy!

Lovely Sarasota rental Great location, so close to Siesta Key, clean house, perfect for family, would definitely stay again

The carriage house was great! It was very nicely appointed and had all the amenities you could want! It was within walking distance of downtown: shopping, great restaurants, a movie theater, and a wonderful consignment shop! (It was a shorter stay for us, so we didn’t take advantage of the bikes and the kayak. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again!

Great location, kind host and as advertised.

We had a great time a this vacation property . It is well equiped very clean and the location. Could not be better. The beach is magnificent.
We strongly recomend this vacation property and its host Stephanie.

Stephanie's guest house was as advertised and better. Great location for a visit to our son in downtown Sarasota, we walked to Main St. and enjoyed the great restaurants, bars and shops. Her place is very well and comfortably furnished with everything you need to make your stay easy. We used her beach supplies for a day of boating, it was nice not having to bring our own towels. A very safe and quiet location and free parking included. This is a 5 star rental in a great location, don't pass on it.

We loved coming back to stay here! Clean, so much to do within walking distance, as well as extremely accommodating!

Review of stay Everything was good and up to specifications—very clean, I do have back issues though, so the bed took a bit to get comfortable in. Other than that, amazing stay and everything was in walking distance!

The house was wonderful, and very clean and comfortable. Everything we needed for the beach and the pool was provided, and Stephanie was a wonderful host. I think the only thing I would change is how firm the beds are. They're really firm, but we were able to sleep ok anyway. Other than that it seems like everything has been thought of, and I would stay here again.

Stephanie is truly a super host. The carriage house was exactly what we needed for our stay in Sarasota. Looking forward to a return trip soon.

My family had a great time here! Location is perfect and so close to the beach. We will definitely be back.

Book it, you won’t regret it. Perfect location; just a few feet to the beach. Well stocked; we only packed our toiletries. The house included the beach umbrella, chairs and even toys for the kids. The kitchen had everything we needed. Communication was great from check in to check out. We’re looking forward to staying here again.

We loved this house, it was the perfect place for a little getaway. Having all the beach accessories was extremely helpful.

Very comfortable studio apartment set up well with some extras...easy walk to downtown Sarasota and bayfront. Very clean and in a quiet, private location.

Perfect location! We absolutely loved this cottage and it’s proximity to the beach. Its only a half mile walk to many restaurants and shops. The beds are comfortable and the kitchen is well-equipped. The communication with the owner was exceptional. She went above and beyond by welcoming not only us, but our dog as well.
We were impressed and would love to return!
Notes about the island:
It’s busy! Expect wait times wherever you go for food.
If you want to rent a golf cart, schedule it in plenty of time before you come down.
Not all streets have sidewalks and there isn’t much grass (important when your dog needs to do his business)
Sunsets are spectacular!
Have a cocktail at The Doctors Office and a burger at Skinny’s

Paradise The property was just wonderful, very short walk to the beach!!! It was super clean and stocked. This will definitely be a return to for us!!! The owners were just simply amazing, I couldn’t have asked to meet nicer people!!!

Beautiful Carriage House perfect for 2! The Carriage House was beautiful, well maintained, stocked with anything we might need. The area is convenient to shops, restaurants and beaches. Stephanie responds quickly to questions or messages! We would stay again!

This house was perfect for our recent vacation to Siesta Key. The kitchen is well stocked and furnishings are very comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed the lanai and pool. Our pups LOVED the huge backyard. A short walk to restaurants and shops. Stephanie made us feel welcome as her guests. Would definitely recommend this property and Stephanie!

This is our second time at this beautiful property and we are booking our 3rd trip. We stayed in the Seaside Sanctuary in Anna Maria Island for 7 nights in the quiet, clean, cute, comfortable and fabulous downstairs unit. Literally steps from the pristine Gulf of Mexico, we enjoyed sunbathing , swimming, fishing and sunsets. Absolute paradise!

What a wonderful little hideaway. Truly a gem! Thoughtfully appointed and managed. Near all the beautiful beaches and within walking distance to places to eat and chill.

Perfect location! Very close to a great beach, easy walking distance to restaurants. Well stocked kitchen for cooking. Very clean, could not ask for more.

Perfect spot, perfect hosts!

Great location, clean, and well-maintained.

Me and my boyfriend stayed at the carriage house for a weekend getaway and it was lovely. Stephanie was an amazing host and she was easy to communicate with when it came to any request’s and questions/concerns we had. We enjoyed how the carriage home was so close to downtown so we used the bikes that Stephanie provided for us to explore the town. The kayaks were also a fun plus to top it all off! Loved how clean and organized everything was and I would definitely recommend anyone to come and stay at this Airbnb!

Stephanie is an awesome host, very approachable, and ensures her guests are comfortable at all times. The apartment was very clean and nice, and the description and pictures are just as it appears. The unit is conveniently located in the middle of the town within walking distance, and the beaches and beach hangout spots are literally 10 minutes away. I had no complaints. Overall great experience. My family and I loved it.

Great location! This house is in a great location and has everything you need. Stephanie is very attentive and accessible for any questions or needs.

Great location!

Honestly was a great place to stay at Stephanie got everything set up for us when we asked about the kayaks. Also gave us any information we needed about where to go, it’s honestly a great place to stay and my boyfriend and I will definitely be back again.

The location was absolutely perfect! We are in love with Anna Maria Island! The house was perfect for 4 people. Literally right next to a beautiful shaded walking path which leads directly to the beach. The neighborhood was so quaint and quiet. Even though this is a duplex, the walls were very well insulated and we could not hear our neighbors below us or in the house beside us.

Stephanie is the perfect host. She checked in a couple of times to make sure we had everything we needed. Surprised us with a sweet welcome gift. She also provides everything you need for the beach.

We had a very relaxing week. Spent lots of time at the beach. Our family kayaked, biked everywhere, went on a sunset cruise, shopped at a beach market. We had a lovely time. Will definitely be back!

Visited Sarasota for weekend getaway. Amazing hosts and place. Such a charming studio apt and exactly as advertised! Location was ideal for walking to waterfront and Main St. We enjoyed a stunning beach day at Lido Key Beach and a light dinner at Venezia in St. Armand’s. We didn’t have time to use the bikes or kayaks this time around, but we’ll definitely come back again!

Stephanie’s place is amazing! It was immaculately clean, spacious and comfortable. We enjoyed the snacks provided and she also had the fridge stocked with coffee creamer and some adult beverages. 10/10 recommend!

Our stay was amazing!! We truly enjoyed all the amenities they had to offer us. From assisting us with the grill and kayaks to allowing us to use the beach supplies. The variety of appliances made it super easy to cook and making the decision to book an Airbnb vs a hotel that much easier. They truly made our stay feel like a vacation with some adventure that we were craving as a break from our jobs! Would book with them again!

Good stay Enjoyed the experience

What a wonderful cottage! We totally enjoyed our time and would love to come back again for another visit. Thanks so much for making us feel so welcome! Best to you and your family! 🙂

Amazing place to stay in Anna Maria island. For those who love beach houses and close proximity to beach , look no further . You can’t see ocean from the whole house but 10 steps away

Great location My wife and I spend three nights here and loved our stay. While here for a wedding, we took advantage of the complimentary beach chairs and enjoyed one of the amazing nearby beaches. Additionally, the Carriage House is within walking distance to several restaurants and bars.

Location, Location, Location Obviously, the location of this beach house was perfect. Truly steps away from the beach. Sunsets could be seen from the front deck and moon rises from the back. Nearly everything on the north end of AMI is within walking distance. The house itself was clean, comfortable, well stocked and bright and cheery just as a Florida beach house should be. Stephanie was great to work with and returned messages promptly. Already looking at our calendar for a return trip!

Excellent location and very gracious hosts! Can’t wait to come back.

Was the best time we ever had. The house was spacious, beds were comfortable, the pool was warm, the yard was huge. We enjoyed that the beach chairs, toys, umbrella, cooler, wagon, and towels were included. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. Thank you, would love to come back next year!

Welcoming House, Amazing Location Loved it. Amazing house and the pool was awesome. Location was great and the yard is big. Thank you would love to come again

Perfect location!! We had the best time!!

Beach getaway Great location. Can see and hear the ocean from the deck. Lovely view of sunsets from deck as well. Beds were comfy.

The Carriage House was perfect for my husband and I’s weekend getaway! Check-in was super easy, everything was clean and in great condition, and the location was perfect! It was close to everything! We were very comfortable and will definitely be back for another stay!

Our plans to check in suddenly changed and Stephanie was able to accommodate our revised schedule. Upon our arrival, my husband and I noticed how organized Stephanie is and how she’s thought of every detail to make one’s stay so relaxing. The carriage house is conveniently located and very welcoming. From the well equipped kitchen to the massage chair, the carriage house has it all. Stephanie highly recommended we go kayaking and everything was ready for us. Our future visits to Sarasota will include Stephanie’s carriage house from now on!

This place has everything you would need for a great time at the beach. Easy access to the beach, close proximity to restaurants and shops. It even had tons of beach toys for the kids to play with, umbrellas, chairs, pretty much anything you’d need for playing in the perfect white sand and crystal clear water.

Exactly as it is presented. A great place in a great location and Stephanie was super nice and attentive. Will definitely stay here again.

Great location nice place awesome communication! Would comeback for sure! Recommend

One of the best stays we have had with AirBnB. Stephanie was the best and the home was clean and comfortable. Loved having coffee on the deck each morning and then taking the path to the beach. Will be back for sure.

This is an excellent and clean place to stay, within walking distance of Selby Gardens, the best vegan cafe in town and a cinema! I loved the quiet neighborhood and all the lovely amenities in the apartment. Would rent again!

Quiet spot just south of downtown Spent 4 nights. Just as advertised. Great value and great quiet location in a residential neighborhood.

Amazing clean perfect place to stay definitely would return

What a great place to stay and Stephanie is an amazing host. Super quiet area and comfy bed!! Would absolutely stay again.

This place was clean, had everything that we would need and close to all points of interest. Also located in a nice neighborhood. We would definitely rent again if vacationing for two.

Great location, great host, great vacation! Home was as promised, and host had everything and more that we needed. We have already been looking to book for a trip next year!

Cute place in convenient location. Clean space and comfortable bed. Very close to downtown Sarasota which had many dining options and little shops...and ice cream 😉 . We utilized the bikes, but didn't have time to use the kayaks on our quick 1 night stay.

This carriage house is everything and more than expected. We didn’t need to bring anything extra because it was all provided! The book of extras was very helpful as were the owners. A must stay for Sarasota!

Highly recommend this house, close to the beach with a great view. Walking distance to shops, bean point beach, and restaurants! Stephanie is a great host, with clear and fast communication. Would definitely stay again!

This was our tenth year staying at Seaside Sanctuary! We love this Beach house and the location just steps away from the beach, and we always have a wonderful stay. Stephanie and Mike are always available to make sure we are comfortable, and we’ve enjoyed getting to know them and their family. Going to the seaside Sanctuary is our number one stop for our year.

Stephanie was a wonderful host and the place is so comfortable. I slept like a baby. The beach is beautiful. I’m so grateful for the stay.

We're short for words to express how much of a great time we had at Stephanie's space. The degree of care and attention she pays to make sure her guests have a good time is unparalleled, not a single detail was overlooked, thank you for facilitating such a wonderful experience and we would love to come back!

Perfect place to spend time on Anna Maria. Mike and Stephanie make sure you have everything you need and then some. Ideal location where you can walk to all the local places you want to visit, or just chill on the beach.

There is everything in the house you would need for a beach vacation! The beach is conveniently located a short walk from the property and is beautiful and uncrowded. Stephanie is easy to contact and responsive. We really enjoyed our stay!

The Carriage House was perfect. Everything you would need to feel at home was there plus much more. Stephanie is so accommodating. What a great place to stay.

Great quiet neighborhood close to downtown of Sarasota. Tasteful room with many extras, even massage chair! We rode bikes to Bayfront park to watch a sunset, eat fish tacos and listen music. Walking distance to downtown Sarasota and Marie Shelby Botanical Garden. The hosts were very hospitable. Thank you!

Stephanie and her husband were both very accommodating. If we needed anything or wished some information about the area, they did their best in a timely fashion to get what we requested.

The Carriage House was exactly as advertised: clean, comfortable, and well-supplied.

We will definitely recommend this place to family and friends wishing to visit Sarasota.

Lovely spot We loved our stay at the Aquamarine Dream. The house was spacious and clean. It’s very close to a public beach, walking distance, and the beach has soft white powdery sand. It’s not crowded and beautiful. The house backs up to a canal and you can take the kayak out and enjoy the bay and nature. The management is great and communication is excellent. We would definitely stay there again.

What a great location to explore the area. Quiet neighborhood, clean and comfortable accommodations. Thank you, Stephanie for being such an attentive outstanding host. We have already referred family and friends to your website and plan to return next year. Many thanks!

We absolutely loved this place. It’s so close to everything we wanted to do in Sarasota. We loved the bikes. The bed, TV, that massage chair! It was all just perfect. Thank you so much. We wouldn’t change a thing.

Perfect location Wonderful place Great place to relax

Great spot😍 Stephanie, the host, was the best! Made us feel very welcomed. Convenient, upscale location, well equipped. Perfect!

This is the perfect location to explore Sarasota The only time we used our vehicle was to go to the beach. Communication is great. Stephanie was an excellent source of information for restaurants and places to go. The place is adorable, clean, and well stocked with whatever we needed

Perfect locationWonderful placeGreat place to relax

Perfect location! Wonderful experience, wonderful place!

I'm happy to share that we had a wonderful time at the Carriage House. While it's not on the water, it's only a short drive to Lido beach/St Armand's Circle and Siesta Key beaches (which is where we spent the majority of our time), and a short walk to Downtown Sarasota.
After a day on the beach, it was nice to come back, refresh, and walk or bike downtown for dinner. There are many restaurants to choose from, we liked the gf pizza at The Fountain, it's a small space with outdoor dining, very chill place to have a few apps n cocktails, another evening, we enjoyed drinks n dancing to a live band at Mattison's City Grille.
Stephanie's a warm and welcoming host, it was a pleasure to chat with she and her husband, lovely couple, which reflects in their hospitality.

Amenities we appreciated:
*BIKES, nice ones. We crisscrossed all over downtown and the smaller neighborhoods adjacent to the Carriage House.
*Kayaks, while we didn't get to use them, as the tide wasn't quite right, two kayaks are available to use.
*Comfortable King size bed. Best sleep we've had on vacation.
*Beach chairs, jumbo size beach towels, and umbrella.
*Sunscreen and aloe, both of which we used-thank you.

The area is SO quiet and tucked away; yet close to everything.

Stephanie has thought of everything to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

Next time were in SW Florida we'll no doubt return to the Carriage House.

Kindest regards, Cindy and Eric Cummings Portland, Maine

Great place, a very caring host and extremely attentive to your needs.

Wonderful Stay We loved staying here! The house was in a fantastic location, communication with Stephanie was great, the house had everything we needed. Our only regret is that the house wasn't available for us next year in January. We loved it!!

Love, love the location. Many nice restaurants and shops within walking distance. Extremely comfortable king size bed kept us rested and ready for the day! Stephanie was always nearby or a text away if we had a question. So much cozier than a hotel! We have already booked for next year!

Seaside Sanctuary - Anna Maria Island In January my husband and I spent two and a half weeks on Anna Maria Island at Stephanie‘s Seaside Sanctuary home. It was a delight. Both of our daughters joined us for a week for a late holiday get together. It was perfect for this purpose. The house was very clean and had the warmth of a home. That was especially nice for our family holiday. The kitchen was thoughtfully equipped and ready for anything, even a holiday meal put together by too many cooks. Board games were even provided. We give the house a “roominess factor” of 10. There was plenty of room for all of us even though we needed to have separate spaces for working remotely. The Wi-Fi could handle three Zoom calls simultaneously without any band width problem! And of course, there is the beach. Such a beautiful place. We were lucky to witness both calm days and an angry storm leaving huge waves. A bit of heaven in January. We will definitely be back to visit this fine home and its stellar hostess.

Great little studio perfectly located to downtown Sarasota We spent two weeks at Stephanie’s carriage house and thoroughly enjoyed it. She was very helpful and responsive throughout our stay. The location was wonderful as it is close to so many great shops and restaurants. The little patio out front was great for relaxing later in the day. The WiFi worked great the entire time so we could work remote during our stay. They had kayaks and bikes that we could use but unfortunately did not get around to using. We would definitely stay there again.

Great location. Great house. Really enjoyed our stay

Fantastic place. Fantastic host. So helpful and attentive. There were even Lincoln logs for our little one to enjoy.

You can't beat the location of this house! It's so close to the beach and also walking distance to restaurants. We loved sitting on the balcony and having our coffee each morning. The house had everything we needed, and we especially enjoyed having so many beach items we could use. Stephanie was an excellent host!

Excellent location, perfect for our short stay in Sarasota. Stephanie and Mike were great hosts and so responsive, we loved our time in the Carriage House!

Great location! Quiet street and steps away from the beach. Within walking distance to The Sandbar, The Donut Experiment and Poppo's Taqueria, all of which we recommend but go early or there will be a wait. We did not even hear the tenants upstairs so no concerns with it being a duplex. Plenty of beach chairs and floats for both units to share. Stephanie was great and very responsive!

Christmas beach vacation Perfect location for a beach vacation.

The location is just great. It’s steps to the beach and you may not have view of the beach from the house but you are very close to the beach. Stephanie is a great host. She was prompt with communications and very supportive of any requests. Had a nice goody bag for us when we came and well stocked with everything you need in the house. Also had beach chairs and umbrella etc which made it so easy. Just note that it is a slightly older home but maintained very well. Most of Anna Maria has mostly a bit older homes. Lot of passion of host shows through in the place.

Super location! We walked to everything, and we had a wonderful time in these lovely accommodations!

Great space! Special touches throughout and even beverages and snacks waiting for me when I arrived! Perfect location for exploring downtown! Very clean!

Excellent stay. Perfect Studio setting. Accommodations and amenities were greatly appreciated. Thank you Stephanie!

Great location. Clean & great communication with host

Stephanie and Mike were great. I asked Stephanie for a small favor to have a bottle of wine waiting for us as a surprise for my girlfriends birthday. She was more than gracious to make it happen. She didn’t hesitate.
Thanks again to our hosts!

Perfect location / quite home We had an amazing relaxing time. This property felt like home and is very zen. The location is very quite and a short walk to the beach. Stephanie was great to work with and very responsive. We will return.

The Carriage House is a sweet spot on the edge of downtown. Beautiful neighborhood and perfect distance for walking to downtown and the Bay area. Lovely patio area for sitting outside to enjoy morning coffee or the evening calm. Hosts were fantastic with lots of information about the area. Very enjoyable.

Amazing house and location. Very happy with this rental!

Stephanie is a great host with an awesome place. She was super friendly and accommodating. Would definitely recommend this place.

Everything about our stay was great!

Incredible location with an incredible host, just about everything you could possibly want or need was stocked including a trip idea book that shows how much the host truly cares

Took a break from the snow… We took a break from winter time in Alaska and found this listing on Vrbo. Perfect for us. Beautiful accommodations and the location is great. And last but not least, a most gracious hostess! Thanks Stephanie, if we make it back again we’ll stay again.

Loved staying at the Carriage House. There was so much thought and detail in what a guest would need and want included. Loved the book about the area and suggested hot spots included in the manual. Just wish we had more time to spend visiting.

Everything was perfect! It was great not having to worry about the little things that other airbnbs don't bother to consider. For example, there was plenty of toilet paper, shampoo, conditioner, soap, dish soap and even a few snacks and drinks. Everything was very clean and comfortable. For us, it was the location that was key- walking distance to endless shops and restaurants. Plus, just a short drive to St. Armands circle, the beach and the Ringling Estate. We hope to be back soon!

Great host and property!

Stepanie's place was perfect for our short weekend stay! The unit was fully stocked with everything we might need and more and the location was perfect for a quick walk downtown. We will be back!

If I could give this property a 10-star rating, I would, as it ticks off every box a traveler needs. Stephanie and Mike are professionals.

I am (humbly) a very discerning guest and here's my assessment.

First and foremost, this place was (Website hidden by Airbnb) musty smell, no (Website hidden by Airbnb) nasty carpets...just clean wood floors. The bathroom and shower was spotless....

The furnishings were high-quality...the bed was king-sized and beautifully comfortable with what seemed to be memory foam. A efficient washer/dryer combo. Oversized TV. Strong Wi-Fi. A wonderful massage chair!

Bikes to ride...kayaks to borrow...beach "things" (umbrella/cooler, etc.).

Aside from this unit, Sarasota is wonderful. Elegant and artsy, and urban, yet you are never far from nature and gorgeous ocean and bay views.

The location is superb....a safe/upscale/quiet yet funky neighborhood....within comfortable walking to distance to Downtown shops, restaurants and other excellent destinations. World-class beaches are a short drive away.

Communication with Stephanie was seamless...I needed nothing....but she was there if I did.

I can't say enough about this place...everything is high-quality, including the hosts.

Great place to stay for 2. Stephanie was very pleasant and helpful. We felt welcome.

Second stay at this awesome house! Perfect for our little family and you can’t beat the location. Huge thanks again to Stephanie for being a great host!

Seaside Sanctuary was Awesome! Literally, seconds to the beach and the most beautiful Sunsets! Seaside Sanctuary was the best, was clean and just as described in listing, literally just a few steps from front door and your on the beach. If you want a worry free vacation just call Stephanie. She literally thought of everything. My only regret was we didn’t stay longer. Thanks Stephanie!! For all your help!!!

Mike and Stephanie were both very nice and great hosts. The location is great for an easy walk to downtown or the waterfront, restaurants and bars. We had a wonderful time in Sarasota and would stay here again. Highly recommend.

My family had has a great time at Stephanie place. The place very clean, large enough for 4-6 adults. Definitely will be back.

We loved our Stay in Sarasota. This guest house is a great place for 1-2 people. It is well stocked for anything you might need and we enjoyed the large kitchen. The location is perfect, within a short walk to downtown but separate from any noisy commotion. We also really enjoyed the kayaks with the boat ramp just around the block.

This is a great place with an amazing proximity to the beach…literally, steps away. The house has everything you need and a shed with complimentary beach chairs and items to make the experience. I really appreciate the that Stephanie provided and the small things to make you feel appreciated & welcomed.

Stephanie was a terrific host, very responsive! The house was spotless, well equipped with anything you might need, and in the most perfect location....just steps to the beach and in a quiet neighborhood, but very close to restaurants and shops. We enjoyed relaxing on the front porch and taking in the sunsets on the beach. I would highly recommend this place to anyone coming to visit AMI!

Stephanie has thought of every detail to make this the most enjoyable place we have ever stayed on AMI. Clean, well equipped, and perfect location. Excellent communication from Stephanie. We will be back!

Great location & adorable studio! My boyfriend and I stayed at Steph's place for one night, but it was perfect in terms of location to get the most out of our brief visit. The kitchen was well equip for those who cook, and the bed was really comfortable. We would 100% stay here again!

Walking distance to everything!

Stephanie was a great host! House was spotless and perfect! The extras for the ocean were great, and house has everything you need. Sitting on the front porch in the morning and evening was so peaceful and quiet! Would recommend to anyone, we will surely be back!

Great great place that is super clean, good location, and Stephanie is wonderful host!

Awesome place to stay. Owners are very accommodating and rapidly available to answer questions.

Wonderful little place This place is perfect for a couple, so many places to walk to and enjoy, eat, drink,shop ect, don't hesitate to rent this place, I personally will be back

Stephanie's Carriage House is everything she says it is. Immaculately clean, comfortable and cozy and in the perfect location for exploring Sarasota by foot. Highly recommend it!

Just Perfect!! Not even the bad weather on the day we arrived could take away from us feeling like we had booked the right place.

We’ve been to AMI before but had not stayed here. This house had everything we needed. Stephanie was fantastic when we had a question.

Thank you!!

This is a great place to stay! It’s located on a quaint street with beautiful homes. It was very clean and had everything we needed and more. It really is located in a very cool neighborhood with lots of shops and restaurants nearby.

We rode the bikes provided a little over a half mile to Main Street for brunch before riding over to the nearby Whole Foods to pick up some snacks. On our way back, we stopped at the gelato store which served “healthy” gelato and sorbet, which was made on-site with no preservatives. We also went to the beach where we made use of the provided beach chairs. We didn’t get a chance to use the kayaks - maybe next time. We would definitely stay here again!

Awesome place near downtown Sarasota. Perfect for one or a couple. Very clean garage apartment behind main residence with an amazing shower, modern amenities, and great landscaping around the outside. Walking/biking distance to any number of cool bars/restaurants as well as the Bayfront area. Stephanie kept in great contact in the day/hours leading up to my stay and was always available if I needed a response or info. I imagine I'll be back if she'll have me

This house was absolutely perfect for our family. We had a great experience thanks to everything Stephanie provided us in the house. All the kid toys (that kept them entertained lol) games, beach towels, floatings, cooler and soo much more. We loved how the house had the perfect beach house style and ALL the details in frame were amazing. The house is literally steps away from the beach. Everything was very clean and
organized. Long story short, we LOVED this house!

Amazing stay. Great charming beach house that provides everything you need while also having a great location that is both extremely close to a pristine beach, as well as Pine Ave with all its great boutique shops and unique eateries. Stephanie the property manger /owner was also great with communication and very accommodating.

Beautiful clean unit walking distance from the water. Great communication and detailed guide of places and restaurants near the area. Would definitely come back to stay here. Thank you Stephanie!

We absolutely loved our time at Stephanie’s! The location was perfect and Stephanie was an incredible host!

Everything was wonderful. The unit was so nice and filled with anything we needed (except a kuerig.)
My only issue is that it is a second floor and the steps may be difficult for older people. The day we checked out the steps were wet and i admit it was a little scary for me. We did luck out and there was a teenager below us who helped us carry our things down stairs. I will rent there again but will request the downstairs unit.

supereasy check in
amazing location we walked to many of the places recommended in the welcome book!
the room stayed cool, the fridge and mixer were great to have. the washerand dryer combo came in handy! definitely a great find and a perfect 3 day stay!

Comfy, clean and convenient! Lovely! Close walk to the beautiful beach! The rental rep is easy to communicate with and kind!

Unbeatable location - only footsteps away from a non-crowded area of a beach with super fine sand made of quartz, and water that was crystal clear, warm, and full of fishes swimming around you, while various types of birds circle around the area. The AirBnb is clean, fully thought out, stocked with all the kitchenware and beach equipment you'll ever need. The area is quiet, safe, and surprisingly has a lot of great food options (and we're foodies from NYC). Definitely would return, and recommend this place to anyone looking for a beach trip or just visiting Florida!

This place was absolutely perfect. It was clean and had absolutely everything you need and more. From a snack basket to sodas in the fridge. Perfect getaway and very hospitable host. Highly recommend!

Amazing place! Steps to the beautiful beach! Thank you Stephanie.

Near to excellent restaurants! ⭐️

Beautiful beach vacation home. Clean, comfortable home, The host was great with all communication. Not many more than 50 steps to the beach that rivals Siesta Key. We cannot wait for the opportunity for a return visit. We have rented many Airbnb properties. This had to be one of the best.

This place was very clean and the hosts are terrific. We would rent this place again.

Great area will definitely book in the future!

Stephanie’s Airbnb is just what we were looking for. It was extremely affordable, perfect location close to downtown and the beaches. The comfort was top notch. Will be coming back for sure!

Stephanie is honestly my absolute favorite host on Airbnb that I’ve ever had. She has the best costumer service values and will work with you to make sure that you have the best stay possible. If you have any issue at all whatsoever, make sure to communicate with her; she WILL fix it or WILL make up for it or will work with you. She’s seriously amazing.

The unit is immaculate; I’m amazed as a native Floridian how clean and sand-free they get it.

I stayed here last year and honestly will continue to book with Stephanie as long as she has this home.

We loved this adorable spot. So close to the beach and comfortable living space. Stephanie is awesome and we felt right at home!!

Stephanie’s “Carriage House” had everything we needed and more! Plus the location was ideal. Quiet area and close walking or driving distance to everything. We feel lucky that we found this gem 🙂

Home is very clean and cozy and loved how it was steps from the ocean. Will definitely stay again!

Great location and cozy vacation home The owner is fantastic for any communication that you need and the beach is only a short walk (15 seconds?) away. House comes with pretty much everything. This was our second stay at this vacation house and hope to comeback again!

This place is awesome. If you are staying in SRQ and want the downtown experience, you can't stay anywhere this cool or nice for the price. If you wanted, you could walk to everything within 10 minutes! They respond super fast and are very accommodating!

Perfect place in a relaxing neighborhood. Close to many trendy establishments - all within safe walking distance. Don’t miss out on this one!

5 stars! Great area and gracious host. Absolutely beautiful neighborhood. Safe, clean, and as described. Will be coming back next time I’m in the area!

Our stay at Stephanie's was great and the location was perfect! Grabbing coffee from Project Coffee in the morning and walking around the pretty neighborhood. Also a quick walk to one of our favorite restaurants for dinner - Owen's Fish Camp. The space was super clean with lots of amenities. Stephanie was great with communication and helpful in making recommendations for brunch and other things in the area. We hope to stay at Stephanie's airbnb again!

What an excellent time we had on this property! Amenities were plentiful and the location was top notch for enjoying all that Sarasota has to offer. Spotlessly clean with personal touches, this was one of the best experiences for a weekend getaway that we’ve had to date. Highly recommend. We will be back!

Perfect location for checking out beautiful downtown Sarasota!

We loved staying here. Everything was so clean and so well stocked. We especially loved the pool, fishing on the dock and the bicycles. Stephanie is an excellent host and extremely responsive. We had the best vacation!

Best host ever! Wonderful location and incredible space!

The canal location was perfect to throw kayaks in the water. We had manatee swimming under our boats! Our kids loved the pool and all the floats provided. The beds were comfy and the fire-pit for s’mores at night was a lot of fun. There were several restaurants nearby - our favorite for key lime pie was Whitney’s place and our favorite view was Shore. Thank you fir a great stay!

Small place which was great for what we needed. Stephanie was quick to respond and flexible with the check in and check out times.

If you plan on visiting Sarasota, you can't beat this perfect little carriage house. It's in a quiet neighborhood but only a short walk to the hub of activity in downtown Sarasota. We explored other towns and beaches during the day and walked downtown every night. We loved our stay. The place is clean, comfortable, private, and has just about everything you would need. So much better than staying in a hotel! Not to mention, Stephanie was a very attentive and helpful host. You won't be disappointed if you decide to stay here.

Excellent spot! We LOVED staying here. We will be back!

Stephanie’s place was PERFECT! It was clean and provided all the amenities needed for a great vacation. We were visiting Sarasota mainly for Siesta Keys but fell in love with Lido Key based on the recommendations in the travel manual Stephanie put together-definitely check it out.

The massage chair was great! The mattress was comfortable. We didn’t get a chance to use the outside patio but thought it was a nice option for a night in.

Stephanie kept in touch with us and even allowed us to check in early and check out late. We will definitely be back and are even considering checking out one of her other places!

This house is perfect for 6 people who love a peaceful neighborhood just 2 blocks from the beach and your very own outdoor pool. Stephanie was a fabulous host.

Wonderful experience! Anna Maria is our favorite vacation spot! The experience was great! Stephanie left is a welcome goodie bag so sweet of her. Rooms, kitchen, bathrooms were clean, there was extra toilet paper, towels and all the essentials in the kitchen. Stephanie was great she answered her e-mails in a timely fashion very helpful! We will definitely be coming back.

This is the perfect place to stay in AMI! It’s in a quiet area, just steps to the beach and very close to Pine ave! We visited during a busy time but the beach we walked to from the house was far from being crowded. Host was very accommodating. Wished we could’ve stayed longer!!

If you’re staying in Sarasota, you can’t do better than Stephanie’s carriage house. It’s got everything you’ll need, close to downtown, and super clean! Stephanie is a thoughtful host and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend!

AMAZING LOCATION. Everything you could want is within walking distance or no more than 20 minute driving. Stephanie was very accommodating and great at checking in with anything needs. Clean, relaxing and super convenient.

The place was immaculate, close to everything, and just as described. Stephanie is an amazing host. She made us feel right at home. The snacks and cold beverages on arrival were much appreciated! We will stay again!

This was such a great stay for us. We did a best friend’s trip and staying at the apartment at Laurel Park was perfect for us. We were walking and biking distance from the wonderful downtown area. The beach was just a short drive as was St. Armand’s Circle for MORE food and shopping.

The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was clean. The massage chair was a welcome surprise. We took advantage of the kayak and the bikes and had such a blast!

We will definitely rent from Stephanie again!

Very cute, close to everything, and clean! Perfect space for 2 people to stay and enjoy their time in Sarasota. Stephanie was attentive and so kind if you needed anything.

Really appreciated the
drinks and snacks left in the room for us. Everything went according to plan. Thank you so much...will be using it again

Great vacation house! Clean and comfortable. Great location. Stephanie is available for quick answers on our questions and needs.

Great, quiet location and home! It was very comfortable and Stephanie was able to help us with anything we might have needed and checked on us throughout the stay. The house had all the amenities and my girls loved the space. She even left us treats for our dogs! Very thoughtful. Thanks for a great stay!

Stephanie - Thank you for your gracious hospitality. The attention to the little details of travelers needs and wants is refreshing and thoughtful. The accommodations were as advertised with no disappointments. All the best with gratitude...

Everything was perfect and the accommodations are excellent

Great place to stay, within walking distance to a bunch of places. Very clean and Stephanie was super helpful with letting us check in early!

Excellent location and has everything you need to enjoy the Beach by day and city by night

Professional and caring

Love the place! So convenient, just steps away from beautiful white sand beach. Communication with Stephanie was easy and thank you so much for letting us in early. Will definitely stay here again.

Great host! She communicates very quickly. The place is very cute and is close to everything.

We were pleasantly surprised by our accommodations here! The apartment was beautiful, comfortable and clean. Stephanie thought of EVERYTHING, so if we forgot something, she had it! The massage chair was awesome, the bed was really comfortable and the TV was big. We used the bikes to ride to the farmer’s market downtown, which was so close and so cool! We used the kayak to paddle to a beautiful park and see so many cool things along the way. I am a little picky about things, but we were pleasantly surprised by the thought and effort that went into making our stay truly memorable. Thanks, Stephanie!!

Enjoyed our stay and loved the location!

Stephanie makes for an amazing host! Check-in was so easy and she was great with giving directions and instructions. The Carriage House was clean, cute, and well stocked! Stephanie had really thoughtful amenities from shampoo and conditioner, to beach chairs and sunburn gel - what more could beach goer want?! Check-out was simple and easy as well. Location is excellent, walking distance to tons of dining and shopping. Bed was super comfy and huge too - Ive slept on some rough beds at even the sweetest AirBnBs but this one was so comfy! Awesome find, would recommend and would def stay again!

Stephanie’s home was beyond what I expected. I literally had tears leaving because the location was perfect and convenient, it was clean and roomy, it was inviting and had everything we needed. I will be returning in the future and will also recommend this rental to my friends and family!

Perfectly located and very comfortable. We loved all the conveniences from laundry to beach gear and fully furnished kitchen.

The house is beautiful, great location, very nice and quiet neighborhood. So many needed items provided. Stephanie is a superior host, very accommodating. Highly recommend.

Can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed our week here! The house is in such a perfect location on the island, close to shops, dining & so so close to the beach! We had an amazing week!

Having stayed in dozens of homes in the past years, the care and preparation for this place is outstanding. I particularly enjoyed a bike and kayak trip during my stay. Very cool bennie. And don't get me started on the massage chair.... yeah.

Anna Maria Trip Great clean place, very close to the beach and very quiet. Great property I would stay there again, I highly recommend it.

PERFECT! Perfect house! Perfect host! Perfect location!! Our family had the best time! We can't wait to come back!! Thank you, Stephanie!

The space was great! Very clean, special little touches, like snacks and drinks for my stay!

Best access to the beach. House was wonderfully stocked and clean. Stephanie was a pleasure to work with. We cannot wait to go back.

this location is within walking distance to little shops, botanical garden, and to the water. It's a nice little room to stay in with some basic amenities, and the host is good at communicating through the app.

Wonderful, Relaxing Vacation We had a very restful vacation on the canal. The neighborhood was quiet and the house was comfortable and exactly as described. The beach was only a short walk away. Stephanie was attentive and easy to communicate with. We would love to stay again.

Thank you so much Stephanie, we had a wonderful time. It felt very homey to everyone! Communication was prompt. We really appreciate the welcoming feeling.
We loved being just steps from the beach. The house is clean, it has all the utensils to cook and wine glasses (thank you for that) very clean. Comfortable beds. Definitely a place to come back.

Our stay was amazing! The property had everything we needed and more from the full kitchen, coolers, bikes, kayaks, and beach chairs, we didn't have to worry about packing a lot. The room was perfect, clean, and comfortable and what can I say, the massage chair was such a great extra. The location was awesome being downtown and 10-15 minutes from all of the beaches and hot spots. Our favorite was riding the bikes all over town. We used them every day. We felt very safe walking and riding at night downtown as well. So many great places to eat and explore being in the heart of town. If you love Italian food this is the place to be. Plenty of restaurants, coffee shops, and shopping. Stephanie was so helpful when we needed something and offered plenty of recommendations for things to do and offered helpful tips. I would highly recommend staying here and would not think twice about booking here again when back in the area.

Perfect Vacation This vacation house was perfect. So close to the beach I could see the ocean from the front window. Would love to make this an annual vacation!

We had the upper unit, lots of space. Nice washer and dryer on the side (outside) of the house. Beach wagon, sand toys, chairs, and umbrella in shed in back. Living space and kitchen were great quality, clean, and accurate to the descriptions. Super easy to check in and check out. Literally a minute walk to the beautiful beach, great food within walking distance.

This property is just as advertised. Private and beautifully decorated. Very walkable neighborhood, close to fun restaurants. Make sure you are ok with stairs, this chubby old lady made the climb just fine! The place was spotless and Stephanie communicated effectively at every opportunity. We had no complaints at all.

This place is perfect! Location to the beach can't be beat, it was homey, and all the beach items were a plus! We will definitely stay here again. Stephanie was amazing and timely with communication. If you are looking for a great house within steps of the beach this is your place!!

Great hospitality! Stephanie was so responsive and was always available for any questions we had! You seriously only need to pack your clothes for the trip because everything else you could possibly need is already there! We will be back!

Stephanie has thought of everything! From a clean and tidy place to great restaurant suggestions even down to staples we never imagined we would need, but we did! And she had it covered!

We will definitely reserve her place again next time we are in Sarasota!

We have a great time, the place was clean, close to the beach and the owner was great to deal with!

Space was extremely clean and up to date! Convenient location and very easy to navigate the area. Host was hospitable, respectful, and attentive! Thank you again!

relaxing time away So relaxing. here for family wedding and loved how close it was to venue. Loved being so close to the ocean for daily walks on the beach.

This place is just as described... and it is sooo cool. I read the reviews and they are all correct. You won’t regret staying here. The bed and pillows are comfy, and it’s location is great.

Terrific spot in a very central location in downtown Sarasota. Our friends, who stayed in a nearby hotel, were so jealous! We walked to Owens Fish Camp Restaurant (always love it there!), and only wish we had had more time to explore. Having lived in Sarasota for two brief stints, we knew that we'd like the location but it was better than expected! You won't be disappointed!

This place is AMAZING! It is literally 100 feet from the beach. We were pleasantly surprised to see how close to the beach we were. Basic accommodations, everything we needed and very clean and the beds are comfortable. Stephanie was awesome and very accommodating and just lovely. We will definitely be back!

We LOVED our time here! The place was spotless and the location was unbeatable. Less than 1 minute walk to beach (which was perfect for our two small children), and also walkable to lots of shops and restaurants! The neighborhood is beautiful and so quiet. The house had everything we needed, including beach gear. We brought some baby-specific beach items, but there were plenty of toys/boogie boards/inflatable items for my 4yo to keep him entertained all day! The only thing we may do differently next time is rent a golf cart to make it easier to tote tired kiddos to/from shops and restaurants in the heat! But definitely not necessary.

We can’t wait to come back!!

Great location. Nice, clean and everything you will need. Host provides tips and great communication.

Stephanie’s place is just perfect for a couples getaway. A lot of little details are taken care of; coffee, cream, snacks, toiletries and even sunscreen. The bed is super comfy and it is so quiet and peaceful. We had a great time riding bikes and exploring Sarasota. The location is awesome! Stephanie is a great host!

Fantastic location!!! We added a bonus day to our first trip to AMI and really appreciated so much about this vacation property.

Stephanie was extremely responsive and accommodating to our situation and worked hard to provide early access as we were in between stays. Check in was very detailed and thorough.

The house had many special touches such as a welcome treat for our dogs and cold bottles water/soda! The location is fantastic, literally steps from the beach.

After staying near Holmes Beach the previous week, we really loved the quieter end of the island and the house being at the end of the street, so no traffic. We enjoyed a nice carry-out dinner on the front porch with a lovely breeze! Yet the location is still close to Pine St shopping and area restaurants.

When I travel, I want a comfortable bed, peace and quiet, and a place that is cool and sparkling clean. Stephanie's place is all that and so much more. We had everything we needed right at our fingertips. My husband loved the massage chair and riding around town on one of the available bikes. We took the double kayak out and had a blast. The location is fantastic, too. Thank you, Stephanie, for top-notch hospitality! Book this place. You won't regret it.

Fantastic rental in Siesta Key/Sarasota. Spacious, light, updated comfortable and clean. The bedrooms and bathrooms are big. All the essentials and more were there. Great location- short drive to the huge white sand Siesta Key beach (free parking) and a short walk to a smaller beach nearby. We loved that we could get to Siesta Key beach so easily but also get to Sarasota quickly for shopping and dinner. Easy parking and safe neighborhood. You can find anything in the Sarasota shopping area which is just over the bridge and some of the restaurants we can recommend are Veronica Fish and Oyster, Caragiulos Italian, Lila for Vegan food and Boca. And there are many more nearby. Also loved Sunni Bunni yogurt which is across from Publix. Stephanie and Mike are great hosts and were always responsive to my queries. I appreciated their assistance while we were there for a longer stay. Highly Recommend this house!

The location of this property on the Northern Point of Anna Maria Island, literally steps to the pristine beach, is ideal. We park the car and when not on the beach we walk or take the trolley to dining etc. Stephanie and Mike are gracious hosts and respond immediately to any problems. Morning walks on the beach and afternoon happy hours on the deck with ocean views on a quiet street are very relaxing. We highly recommend this property.

Three Sister's trip to Anna Maria. We absolutely loved staying at the Seaside Sanctuary (upper level) so much so that we already booked our next stay before we even left the place.Stephanie's place is so neat and very clean. They were very responsive to our questions and very accommodating. They went out of their way to make sure that we had firewood for our fire.The beach is right there.I actually hate to write how much we enjoyed it as I want to be able to come back for many years. 🙂

We have stayed at Fischer Vacation Rentals for numerous years and have never been disappointed! Attention is paid to every last detail. Comfortable, relaxed, clean, quiet and well appointed. I highly recommend.

What a Gem. This home has it All the amenities. Whatever you like to do, this home/location has it All. Great pool for those warm days. On a canal where you can fish, boat and kayak right from the house.We saw Manatees, Dolphins and All kinds of wildlife while kayaking from the house.The Pristine Beach is just a few minutes walk.If your looking for a place to get away, relax and have an amazing fun filled vacation, I Highly recommend this home.

We had a wonderful 6week stay at Aquamarine Dream on Longboat Key. Fischer Vacation Rentals and Stephanie are truly the best property managers we have encountered. She responds quickly, ensures we have all we need and more. We are returning in late this year and cannot wait. Thank you!

Fischer Vacation Rentals does a fantastic job! Very professional and responsive! They take care of the little details for you so that you can enjoy your time at one of their properties. I definitely recommend them --- you won't be disappointed!

Pace was clean and well equipped. We plan to stay here again Great stay

This place was by far the best place we have ever stayed. Perfect location, well appointed apartment, quiet and private. We had kayaks to use, beach bikes and beach chairs and umbrella. Stephanie kept in communication with us and welcomed questions and communication. This place is in great location , we could walk to most restaurants and bars and was a close drive to local beaches. It was very private and quiet. I highly recommend this place and we will definitly be back. Thank you again Stephanie for your hospitality and suggestions!

Excellent accommodations with everything you could need. Location is wonderful

Great Host! Beautiful house, and Right by the beach.

Great little carriage house in fabulous location. Very clean and quiet, really private !

VIP Air Bnb experience!!!! Beautiful space with such personal touches throughout the space. I look forward to returning very soon. Super Amazing Host!!! Thank you

Great place, comfy great accommodations and close to shopping and food and fun!

This house and the amenities was better then expected. The house was very clean and comfortable Clean Spacious comfortable! Great for long term stays!

Amazing rental and even better service! Anything me and my wife needed they provided and then some. 10/10

We had such an amazing and relaxing stay at Stephanie’s Airbnb. The location is unbeatable! The street is very quiet and the house is only about a thirty second walk to the beach. We also loved that beach supplies were provided. This made our beach days so much easier! Stephanie is also quick to respond and very helpful. We hope to come back and visit again soon!

This is the best, most affordable place to stay. It has everything you could ask for. The hosts are so accommodating and the place is very clean. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone.

This is the property that you want to stay at! All of the basics can't be rated high enough. Nothing seems to be missed at this beautiful place. Don't look any further, book it now!!!!

Location is the best!

Picture perfect week! The Sleepy Lagoon Bungalow is a beautiful, quiet spot, close to plenty of attractions, but far enough from the crowds to provide relaxation and reprieve from life's busyness! We had perfect weather every day -- mid 70s and blue skies -- and kept busy enjoying the quiet beach, pool, fishing, kayaking, and exploring the area. The house comes with everything you may need and Mike and Stephanie are responsive, kind, and attentive. We wish we could have stayed for a month! We highly recommend it!

A clean, comfortable home in a great location! Stephanie is a wonderful host and the house was stocked with everything we needed to feel at-home! We’ll definitely be back!

Wonderful place to stay, quiet neighborhood close to lots of things to do. Not far from the beaches. Amenities are awesome, as is the Host

We loved this place! Beautiful views and vegetation, comfortable beds, close to the beach. It was perfect for our family vacation.

Th Carriage House is a perfect spot for a couples get away. Great host, great location!

Very lovely space, we enjoyed our stay. We got very comfortable as soon as we checked in and it’s in quiet neighborhood but close to awesome restaurants and other activities! Thank you so much!

Fanastic place, right next to the beach. Very comfortable and clean amenities. Privately situated in a quiet nook with only steps to the beach. The owners were very responsive. I would rent again and highly recommend.

Aquamarine dream is the perfect place for a relaxing stay in Longboat key. The home has everything our family needed for a fun filled vacation. From the beach chairs, cart, towels and kayak to local tips and games, there was never a dull moment. Perfect location close to everything especially the beach. Clean and comfortable beds and well equipped kitchen. Don’t hesitate to book this place. 5 stars!

Stephanie's place was immaculate. the location to the beach and the Northern part of Anna Maria island was perfect. She had towels, beach chairs and umbrellas, even a shower to wash off the sand outside before entering the house. So quite and relaxing. We can't wait to return. Thank you for everything!

This house and the amenities was better then expected. The house was very clean and comfortable Clean Spacious comfortable!

I really enjoyed my two week stay at the carriage. The host was extremely professional and responsive to anything we needed. I love the location of the property and all the great restaurants that are walking distance. So nice to have a bike available for doing errands. I plan on returning soon.

My friend and I stayed at the Carriage House for one night. Our only regret with this rental was not staying longer! The place was immaculate and Stephanie was wonderfully responsive--addressing all our questions. If it's in your budget and rentals are available, I highly recommend renting from Stephanie.

Beyond Our Expectations! The perfect place for 5 week family vacation! This property is ideally located in the north end of Longboat Key on a canal that’s great for fishing at your back door! The house is very clean, the beds and furniture very comfortable, and the kitchen well stocked. All the conveniences of home at the beach. The walk to the beach is easy and short, and the beach is beautiful and uncrowded. Beach chairs, beach cart, beach towels, umbrellas, and sand toys were much appreciated. We would not hesitate to book this home again, in fact we are already planning our next stay in this home.

Amazing location The location of the home really made a week long beach trip with 2 kids run very smoothly! The house is accurately described. Having access to the beach toys, chairs, etc, etc was very helpful! Loved our stay and will be back!

Wonderful place to stay! The location is perfect for walking around the downtown.

Two most important things for me when I AirBnB: a good mattress and a good location. Both are GREAT at Stephanie's place. Bonus: a good shower, good snacks, good decor and hello! a massage chair. Stephanie even supplied beach chairs and towels for a quick jaunt to Lido. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Seaside Sanctuary - Anna Maria IslandIn January my husband and I spent two and a half weeks on Anna Maria Island at Stephanie‘s Seaside Sanctuary home. It was a delight. Both of our daughters joined us for a week for a late holiday get together. It was perfect for this purpose. The house was very clean and had the warmth of a home. That was especially nice for our family holiday. The kitchen was thoughtfully equipped and ready for anything, even a holiday meal put together by too many cooks. Board games were even provided.We give the house a “roominess factor” of 10. There was plenty of room for all of us even though we needed to have separate spaces for working remotely. The Wi-Fi could handle three Zoom calls simultaneously without any band width problem!And of course, there is the beach. Such a beautiful place. We were lucky to witness both calm days and an angry storm leaving huge waves. A bit of heaven in January.We will definitely be back to visit this fine home and its stellar hostess.

Clean room. All you need. Bikes and kayak a great plus. Airport is close. We didn’t rent a car. Just used the bikes. Everything you need is nearby. Loved our stay.

Great accommodations, great host, and great location. Can't wait to go back.

We loved this place! Beautiful views and vegetation, comfortable beds, close to the beach. It was perfect for our extended family to enjoy the month of February!

We highly recommend the Carriage House rental which we only enjoyed for a brief stay. Yet, it is clearly in a great location for walking to the Selby Gardens and eateries. Hope to return in the future. Stephanie was both flexible and responsive.

The Fischer's place on Anna Maria Island is a great getaway retreat. It's in a great location on a quiet street just seconds from the beautiful beach, it's whistle clean, and Stephanie is very responsive to any question or concern. We hope to return there soon!

Cute place very clean and spacious with a very short walk to the beautiful beach. Thanks Stephanie!

We had a wonderful stay here. The location is fantastic; just steps from the beach and a short walk to shops and restaurants. Stephanie couldn’t be more accommodating or responsive. She left a lovely welcome gift and sent Mike (who was a pleasure to chat with) immediately over to take care of a minor issue. We also really enjoyed the extensive TV viewing options and Bluetooth speaker. The place was well stocked with clean towels, beach chairs, kitchen supplies etc.. there is also a shed stocked with beach toys and chairs that had plenty of room to safely store our bicycles.

Walking distance of many cool shops and restaurants. Spotless clean and the bed is so very comfortable! Loved our stay!

My husband and I needed a quick getaway. We were so impressed with this place! Perfect for a couple just looking for a peaceful escape. Great location and the neighborhood is full of new construction and awesome looking homes. We were impressed with how clean everything was and we felt very safe there. Thank you!

The location is perfect! Walking distance to great food and shops in Sarasota and a 10 minute drive to siesta key. Amenities are great- kitchen and bathroom. Will definitely stay again next time in Sarasota.

Perfect getaway for the whole family, dog included. The location can’t be beat — steps from the beach. Great kitchen, living room and comfy beds. Stephanie was a wonderful host, very quick on communication. Can’t wait to return!

10/10 would recommend staying here. I’ve been to Sarasota several times and this location is perfect. We walked to most things downtown, we biked over to Lido Key. Stephanie is an excellent host. Quick to respond and had great suggestions. Can’t express how perfect this stay was ❤️

Excellent space with an extremely comfortable bed. We travel to Sarasota often for short weekend get aways and I would definitely stay here again.

The carriage house is a wonderful place to stay in Sarasota! The place was very clean and came with lots of amenities. It is within walking distance to several wonderful restaurants, Bayfront park, and the botanical gardens. Stephanie is an excellent host and was very helpful with any questions/accommodations we needed. We used the bikes and beach chairs. Really wanted to take a nighttime kayak adventure, but the weather did not allow for that! We hope to return in the future and will definitely be staying in the carriage house or another rental from Stephanie!!

We had a great stay at Stephanie's Carriage House! She is a wonderful, responsive and helpful hostess answering all our questions and ensuring that our stay was great. Highly recommend!

This is the 3rd year in a row that we have stayed at the Seaside Sanctuary Upper level and love coming to this location. The house is on a quiet street and the path to the beach is literally outside the door. Everything you need in the kitchen is available. Additionally, a 5 minute walk on the beach and there you are at the Sandbar Restaurant, and tons of shops all along Pine Avenue. Stephanie is a great host, is easy to get a hold of and will help you with anything you may need during your stay.

I almost don’t want to do a review so that my family, friends, and I can keep this gem a secret.Stephanie responds quickly to any questions or concerns that you may have in a timely manner.Not only do we just LOVE this vacation rental but the the location too. The unit (s) have everything you need. Stayed in both units and and equally fantastic. It’s just a matter if you need two or three bedrooms.Definitely our favorite spot.

lets just start this out with a bang, awesome little carriage house to stay at! Stephanie is a quick responder and delivers excellent hospitality. My partner and I took a quick trip to Sarasota to do some new sight seeing and get out of the colder states. the location of this airbnb is perfect for anyone that wants a quick walk to the beautiful shore line, or to visit the small shops locally, to a fast walk to the near by Whole Foods Market. we had a great time using the bikes that are provided as well as the little touches to this place like the off street private parking for the rental car to the Keurig cups ready to brew in the mornings.
we loved our stay and to top the trip off the bed was so comfortable I wish we could take it with us. great place!

This is a great place for a couple to stay in Sarasota! Cute and cozy studio style set up with great amenities! Stephanie is very responsive, and has prepared a binder with an abundance of tips/suggestions for exploring the area. Would absolutely stay again!

Aquamarine dream is the perfect place for a relaxing stay in Longboat key. The home has everything our family and friends needed to enjoy one month of fun in the sun. From the beach chairs, cart, towels and kayak to local tips and games, there was never a dull moment. Perfect location close to everything especially the beach. Clean and comfortable beds and well equipped kitchen. Don’t hesitate to book this place. 5 stars!

We loved our stay! Stephanie was a fabulous host. She was quick to respond to any questions we may have had. Check in and check out was easy. The house was perfect for our family of 6. It was very clean. The kitchen had everything we needed. The swim toys, sand toys, umbrellas and wagon were such a nice bonus and made the trips to the beach even more fun for our kids. It was just a short, convenient 2-minute walk to the beach! We look forward to coming back in the future! Thank you!

Great location to the beach and local food The house was spotless and in the perfect location for a relaxing beach vacation. It is well equipped in the kitchen and for the beach (toys, towels, umbrella, and more). Walking distance to a great coffee shop and taqueria. Stephanie was friendly, helpful, and very professional. We will go back this year. I stayed with my spouse and 2 children ages 4 and 7. Lovely place for a nice family vacation.

We loved staying at the Carriage House! The location is excellent (close to downtown but just far enough away that it’s quiet). Stephanie provided many extra amenities (kayaking was so fun!) and was very responsive & helpful! Would definitely recommend.

Location is very close to Marina Jack's, a five minute drive. Close to a publix store in case you forgot to bring anything for vacation. We enjoyed the special touches and it was a great escape for us!!

My family had a wonderful time in our week long holiday stay. The value for the location is awesome. The kitchen was well stocked and allowed us to do lots of cooking during our stay. Stephanie was super responsive and helpful. Would absolutely recommend!

Excellent location. Close to downtown and the marina.

This Air BnB exceeded our expectations and was in the absolute perfect location. The host is extremely gracious and accommodating. We will definitely be back!

We loved everything about this vacation rental! The house was clean, beds were comfortable and the location on Anna Maria is outstanding! Stephanie is very responsive. This is our 2nd visit to this house and we hope to continue our Thanksgiving tradition with them on Anna Maria, FL.

I’ve stayed at the seaside cottage in Anna Maria three times (in both the three bedroom lower unit and two bedroom upper unit) and absolutely love it there! The owners go above and beyond in making you feel welcome and at home. The location is perfect & private and the walk to the beach is a very short one. The units are cozy & warm, and the Bean Point area of island is quiet and tranquil. I highly recommend staying in either unit and I’ll be going back!

Our stay was absolutely superb. It was the perfect little getaway from our busy school/work lives. AMI is gorgeous! We are going to bookmark this little cottage, it has the perfect space for sleeping, relaxing, and enjoying the outdoors on the upstairs deck. We will be back! Stephanie was so sweet!

This is a wonderful place to stay. Stephanie is a perfect host: very responsive and very kind. She went out of her way to make our stay memorable. The house is extremely comfortable and in a convenient, peaceful location. The access path to the secluded, beautiful beach is just around the corner: a six-minute walk. We loved it!

Beyond Our Expectations! This property is ideally located in the north end of Longboat Key on a canal that’s great for fishing at your back door! The house is very clean, the beds and furniture very comfortable, and the kitchen well stocked. All the conveniences of home at the beach. The walk to the beach is easy and short, and the beach is beautiful and uncrowded. Beach chairs, beach cart, beach towels, umbrellas, and sand toys were much appreciated. The washer and dryer are top notch and got a good workout from us this week. We would not hesitate to book this home again, in fact we are already planning our next stay in this home.

Stephanie's carriage house studio is a perfect location for walking to many places in Sarasota, yet not directly downtown, but in an historic neighborhood. All the amenities one could wish for! Highly recommended!

This is a great location and Stephanie provides little surprises we weren't expecting. Great local restaurants within walking distance. A historic neighborhood with a mix of old and new. The Saturday market is fun to attend. Lots of things to do minutes from the carriage house. We had a wonderful time.

This is the first time we have done an AirBnB and we were pleasantly surprised! the space was extremely clean, tons of amenities and so close to so many things! We loved it!

Great place and great location! Stayed here the whole week of Thanksgiving 2020. Location is perfect...very short walk to the beach, walkable to restaurants and shops. House has everything you need and more! Quieter end of the island so the beach is not too packed.

Perfect location, awesome host, and amazing cottage!

We stayed at the Carriage House only 4 nights. Hopefully next time it will be longer! The place was so cozy, very clean, and neatly decorated. Perfect space for two, and very private. I especially enjoyed my morning cup of coffee out on the deck. Thank you, Stephanie and Mike!

We loved our experience. The house was super clean and comfortable. Stephanie was very helpful and responsive. It was an overall great vacation for our family. We will be returning

We have stayed at Fischer Vacation Rentals each year for 12 years. The property is very well kept, the owners are super responsive and the cost is very reasonable. I have referred many family and friends to this business without hesitation.

Stephanie's place is in a great location near a great white sandy beach. The canal access allowed us to utilize our canoe's and we rented a boat just down the street at the marina. There were a few hiccups that occured but there was great communication with Stephanie and everything was resolved expediently.

Had a very positive experience at Stephanie’s and the most clean air bnb I’ve stayed in!

Stephanie's carriage house is all and then some. My husband probably would agree that his favorite thing was the massage chair! The carriage house is super clean and cozy and short distance to downtown Sarasota. Stephanie is very easy to communicate with and made our stay very comfortable. We are looking forward to our next visit and stay at Stephanie's carriage house! Stephanie is one of the best hosts we ever had!

Anna Maria island is a lovely quiet beach and Stephanie’s place is just perfect. It is like a traditional beach house with lovely amenities. The place was crystal clean. Everything was well
Set up for us.
There was even a little
Welcome gift. We had a magnificent time and would love to go
back soon!

Excellent host, excellent property! Stephanie was super responsive, flexible and easy to communicate with. House was well stocked and well kept. It is on a quiet street and just a short walk to an awesome part of the beach. Our group had no children so we enjoyed being a bit further away from public beach, restaurants, etc. For us, it was perfect. So perfect we have already booked our return trip! Thanks Stephanie!

Stephanie’s place was a great getaway! Just a short walk to the beach. She had beach chairs, a wagon and beach toys at the house. It was great not having to bring our own. The house was very clean and had everything we needed for the week!!

Stephanie snd her Sarasota carriage house were the BEST! Location....location!!!! Close to beautiful waterways, a short drive near many beaches and the availability of a safe walking downtown with a great variety of restaurants. Highly recommend this spotless and comfy Airbnb.

Great rental. We will be back and utilizing the same location and rental.

A very clean space with little touches to make you feel welcome. Great location.

This place is a gem. Just a short walk from the beach and the hose and showers are easily accessible. We loved how nicely decorated and clean the house was. We loved our stay!

Absolutely loved the place, area, and everything about it! The PERFECT air bnb.
Will definitely do it again, soon!

The house at Longboat Key was beyond PERFECT! Plenty of room for us and the accommodations were spotless and close to the beach with a pool. You can't get any better than that. We could walk or bike to the beach or fish off the dock right out our back door. Stephanie is the absolute best. Any text I sent was answered within 2 minutes. Loved our vacation and already planning the next one. Thank you for a stress-free week during these crazy times.

I stayed at the Carriage House, 1703 Devonshire, Oct 7-12. The entire experience was great. The Carriage house is a private secluded studio over a detached garage. Made for easy access and great privacy. Unit was very comfortable, clean, and had all necessities I needed. Note that this is for a single or a couple. Not large enough for more than 2, but perfect for 1 or 2. Stephanie was a great host. Very attentive, outlined all info clearly, and provided help when needed to get the kayak ready for fun on the water. Location was great. I walked to Main Street each night, biked to Lido in no time, and used their kayak to paddle out to the bay (and follow around a manatee). I highly recommend this place and will certainly use it again! Safe travels.

This condo is AWESOME! Just footsteps to the beautiful beach. The condo itself was spotless! The location of this condo is located in the best part of the Island with so many shops, all kinds of restaurants, pizza, seafood and even a donut shop! Stephanie is such an incredible person to work with, she really cares about making your vacation a great one. My husband and I will be returning to this place for sure!

Terrific all around. Pleasant, helpful, and responsive owner. The De Narvaez property is a clean, comfortable home with plenty of space and all necessary amenities. Quiet street with friendly neighbors. We plan to come back!

I'll start by saying Fischer Vacation Rentals offers top-notch customer service. I have stayed at their Carriage House property as well as the Longboat Key property. With the onset of Covid-19, our plans changed on multiple occasions and Stephanie was more than accommodating. Then, during each stay she was always quick to respond with any questions that came up. She goes out of her way to make sure you are taken care of.With respect to the properties, they are very much as described. The pictures don't always do the property justice. The Longboat Key Property was perfect for our family of four. The three spacious bedrooms and large living room provided plenty of space for all to be comfortable. The screened-in pool on the property was clean and refreshing after a long day at the beach. As an example of the responsiveness, we contacted Stephanie about the absence of a putter for the golf green on the property. She stopped out the following day with a putter and golf balls. This is just a small example of the personal service i've come to expect from Fischer Vacation Rentals. A+ all the way around!

Great place in a quiet area of town. Space is a perfect area to relax and have everything you need for a getaway. Close to the downtime area to explore and enjoy.

Great place Perfect spot for 2 or less to enjoy all that downtown Sarasota has to offer.

We had such an amazing time and can’t wait to return! The beach is very close and is a beautiful walk across natural Florida shoreline! We loved sitting on the second floor deck and listening to the waves and watching the waves crash. Within walking distance of cool restaurants and coffee shops. I started to feel like a local!

Very happy experience! Place was clean, comfortable with a lot of extra touches! Few steps to the beach and several restaurants within walking distance. There were plenty of beach chairs, floats, toys and even a wagon to pull it all with!

Wonderful place to stay! Very clean and close to all that Sarasota has to offer.

Stephanie’s place was great. She has thought of everything you might need for your stay. She is very easy to communicate with, and the location of the house is so convenient to town. We would definitely stay here again.

My cousin was down from Ohio so my husband and I decided to have a little Staycation in Sarasota. We wanted to be within walking distance of Main St and Stephanie's place was perfect! The carriage house was immaculate throughout with excellent kitchenware and appliances. The bed was super comfy but the best amenity was the fantastic massage chair! We both thoroughly enjoyed it and were even more relaxed after our visit. Highly recommend!

Fantastic stay! Our family loved our time here!

The location is right in the middle of everything you could need and all the best places in town. I highly recommend this place and I personally plan to rebook in the future when in town.

Amazing spacious studio with great amenities.

Great location! Steps from the beach and an easy to walk to restaurants and stores.

My daughter and I stayed at the carriage house in Sarasota. We stayed for 7 days. Stephanie made sure we had everything when we arrived and checked in with us to make sure we continued to have all we needed.The carriage house is very comfortable, perfect for two people.The place is also located near downtown Sarasota, and many attractions are walking distance.We loved our stay in Sarasota and the carriage house, truly a home away from home.

The Fischer Rental was highly recommended to us and it lived up to its expectation. Especially since it was our first time in AMI. The apartment was clean, neat and had everything my family of 4 needed including laundry. We would definitely stay again as it felt like home for 8 days. The location was ideal, the block was quiet, the private entrance to the beach was perfect and the friendly neighbors were a plus. My kids are already planning their return trip. The only thing I would say was a bummer, my husband and I would have loved to sit on the front porch (when it rain/sprinkled) to mellow out and talk but unfortunate the top balcony didn't cover us - my personal preference.Stephanie, has exceptional costumer service and easily able to contact when having questions prior to trip, very professional and polite. I loved how she checked in with us to assure all was going well during our trip. RETURNING FOR SURE!!!!

We have been using Fischer's for about 10 years for our summer vacation beach house and are never disappointed with our choice. The house is always very clean, spacious, and has everything we need and is very close to the beach. Stephanie and Mike are very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend staying in one of their rentals.

My family and I are local to Tampa, FL. We rented the beach house on Anna Maria Island for a few days for a staycation. It was just what we needed. The beach path is so close to the house you can see the water from the porch. The place was very clean and close to everything we needed during our stay!

A jewel on AMI! My husband and I stayed for 6 nights at the Seaside Sanctuary - second floor in August 2020. Easy parking. The location was perfect, just steps to to the beach. No road to cross. The house was spotless and had everything we could have needed including laundry, ALL kitchen appliances cookware and dishes, and beach chairs, umbrella. Looking forward to the next time we will have the opportunity to stay here again. Stephanie was a pleasure to work and very responsive to our questions.

My husband and I stayed at the Seaside Sanctuary on Anna Maria island in September 2020. We stayed for a week with our dearest friends, Joel and Debbie Jacobs. This place is a gold nugget on the Gulf Coast. It is steps away from the beach and the beach is better than a Caribbean beach. The house comes with beach towels, a kitchen set up with everything, and a porch with Adirondack chairs that we spent many morning and evening moments enjoying! We stayed in the lower unit and didn’t hear a peep from the second story guests. This great beach house is cool, comfortable, and truly a sanctuary. We have been renting from Stephanie for 6 years and we just love working with her! She is responsive, prepared, and just great at what she does- providing some peace and beauty for her guests. We are satisfied customers and are already looking for dates to come again.

The location was great. The only let down was that there is now a 3-story building next door Great property, esp. for beach access

Clean space and close proximity to restaurants and the beach. Worth it

This place is exactly as described, and Stephanie really went the extra mile in getting things ready for us on short notice. Never ceases to amaze me how kind and welcoming people can be. One of the best nights sleep my lady and I have had and we fell in love with the artistic, adventurous, quality, yet down to earth people of Sarasota.

Staying in Sarasota The carriage house is a great place to stay at if you're coming to Sarsota.
It's perfect for 2 people, clean and very comfortable.
The place is close to downtown Sarasota, you can walk to many of the attractions.
Stephanie provides her guests with a kayak you can take out, bikes if you'd like to ride around the area.
Stephanie checks in with you through text to make sure you have everything you need.
My daughter and I loved staying here. It was a home away from home.

Wonderful experience This is a lovely two apartment house right by the beach. Very clean and peaceful.

We had a great time in this space, with the extended family. Stephanie is a great host! We will definitely be returning.

The space and amenities were perfect for our stay. The location was prime and the place was comfortable for my daughter and me. Plus a perfect area to commute to Ringling college for my son as well as siesta key for my daughter and I to enjoy!

This house was perfect for our 3 night stay. It is so close to the beach path you can practically see the water from the house. You feel like you are directly on the beach! The neighborhood is quiet and people are friendly. The house is really clean and well stocked with cooking supplies, towels, extra blankets, pillows, and tons of beach stuff. It’s a short walk to a Main Street with lots of restaurants and shops too. I love that it’s a duplex too. We may rent the entire house down the road for a larger family reunion vaca. Great stay!

The Carriage House met all of my needs — it was clean, comfortable and lovely — it is extremely well located for exploring Sarasota — Stephanie was very friendly and helpful — I hope to stay at the Carriage House during future visits to Sarasota

My husband and I stayed at the property on Anna Maria. It was a very relaxing and comfortable stay. The place had everything we could have possibly needed and more. A lot of thought went into providing a comfortable stay for guests. Responsiveness was appreciated when we had a minor issue with the TV that was quickly resolved. We highly recommend and will definitely be back!

Stephanie and her husband were great! Very warm and welcoming! We even got to play with Rondo! ( the cute poodle). Our stay was perfect! The location is Awesome and we would definitely return. They provided everything we needed and then some! Look no further!

Stephanie’s Anna Maria location is perfect. Just off the beach you will find everything you need for a relaxing stay on a private world class beach.

We needed a place to stay for the first part of our vacation and Stephanie accommodated us at the last minute. Our friends had recommended her Longboat Key house and we were thrilled to get to stay there also. The house was spotless, in a great location with easy access to a beautiful beach, and had everything we could possibly need. The pool and canal kept everyone relaxed and entertained when we were at the house. We can’t wait to stay again. Stephanie was responsive and welcoming. We would highly recommend her rentals!

Stephanie’s place was wonderful. Clean, full of thoughtful touches and in a great location. We felt like we were right at home.
Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to stay downtown Sarasota.

Very clean. Amazing location.

Stephanie is so attentive, and the carriage house is so comfortable! The place was clean, cozy, and well lit, with just the right amount of room. The a/c was on and the space was cool and comfortable when I arrived. Would love to stay here again!

we enjoyed this beachside house!

I loved my days in Anna Maria Island. The house is super clean and very comfortable, the location is perfect, you only need a few steps to the beautiful beach. I am counting the days for the next visit.

First and foremost, the most amazing aspect of this place are the hosts, Stephanie and Mike. They were both incredibly nice and extremely communicative— they want to ensure that their guests have the best experience possible; they welcome feedback and will be quick to resolve any issues that may arise.

The home itself was immaculate and is in the most perfect location, on a quiet street. It was the perfect place for a relaxing girls weekend. I would most certainly book this home again for future beach trips.

Very accommodating host and lovely Airbnb very close to downtown and restaurants. There was a smart TV, washer dryer, and a very nice shower. The bed was very comfortable. Even though it’s in the picture, I guess I wasn’t aware that they were tall steps.

Stephanie's home is beautiful, clean and full of little touches to make your stay comfortable! She reapondes very fast and provides information about the city and places around you. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay!

This is the perfect place for a getaway on Anna Maria. The apartment has everything you need to cook a few meals and relax on the beach. The path to a private stretch at the North end of Anna Maria is right outside the door. You don't even need shoes for your stay.

Absolutely loved our stay! Fantastic location! 5 stars and Stephanie and her husband are very nice people, very hospitable! We will definitely be back!

We had a wonderful time! Beautiful place and we had everything we could possibly need!! The beach was beautiful and the water was so clear!

Stephanie's place was just perfect for my girlfriend and I to spend our anniversary at, everything was so clean, the location was great, we loved rolling the kayaks over to the launch area. The place was very private, but Stephanie was still very available and easily reached. Our only regret was not staying longer.

Stephanie's place was perfect for our mini beach getaway! It was clean, comfortable, and cozy!

Stephanie’s place is great, exceeded our expectations for a 3 night getaway with family. The house is charming and the kitchen is renovated and equipped to make all your meals at home! We especially enjoyed the margarita machine. Beds are comfortable, bathrooms are clean, and the walk to the beach is 3 minutes tops. We can’t wait to book our return!

Great location! Had everything we needed and was very spacious! Stephanie was a very responsive and good host. We enjoyed our stay and will go back!

I needn’t write an elaborate review as it simply isn’t needed. The cottage house’s five star review is not a mistake. In fact, the only mistake that could be made is not picking this as your next vacation head quarters. Actually, scratch that. Do not stay here because I want to be able to book it again!

We stayed for a staycation in Sarasota knowing the area quite well. We were shocked at the location of this venue. Tucked away in a perfect nook with kayak access, bikes to get you anywhere downtown or st armands, and all the amenities you could want. 6/5 with the great host. Will return.

What a wonderful stay! From the cute homey feel of the house, which was so well appointed, to the location, we found a true gem of a place in Anna Maria!

We recommend a stay with Stephanie her place is extremely clean very homey and she’s such a nice host! Any questions were answered within 10 minutes. So much fun things to do here all within 10 minutes. Our anniversary trip here was spectacular and we will definitely be returning!!!

Stephanie was very communicative and helpful. Her place was the perfect location for going to the beach and relaxing.
