Sunny Sarasota Retreat Near Beaches & Downtown

Tucked away in a quiet Sarasota neighborhood, this charming private residence offers a peaceful retreat just minutes from the vibrant energy of downtown. Thoughtfully designed with comfort and convenience in mind, the three-bedroom, two-bathroom bungalow pairs the easygoing charm of coastal Florida with modern amenities and inviting interiors. The home’s single-level layout and cozy living spaces create an atmosphere that is both relaxed and welcoming, ideal for enjoying a slower pace in sunny Sarasota.

Inside, the home is outfitted with practical yet stylish furnishings and thoughtful touches. The primary suite features a plush king-size bed, a walk-in closet, and a private television, while the second and third bedrooms offer a queen bed and two extra-long twin beds respectively—each with OEKO-TEX® certified mattresses to ensure restful nights. Two full bathrooms—one with a tub and shower, the other with a walk-in shower—accommodate guests with ease. A bright living room with a 65” smart TV and a spacious dedicated workspace add both entertainment and functionality for longer stays or working remotely.

Outside, the fenced backyard serves as a private oasis. A screened-in lanai known locally as a “birdcage” features multiple seating areas ideal for al fresco dining or simply lounging under Florida’s sun-dappled skies. The lush garden attracts butterflies, dragonflies, and songbirds, offering a delightful natural backdrop. A Weber grill stands ready for evening barbecues, while two reclining sun beds encourage moments of quiet relaxation. Guests can take advantage of the two adult bicycles to explore the nearby Legacy Trail, or grab the included beach chairs and head to Lido Key or Siesta Beach for a day on the sand.

The home’s central location is one of its greatest assets. Within a 6-minute drive, guests can access the arts and dining scene of downtown Sarasota, and in under 15 minutes, reach the sugar-white beaches of Lido Key, the boutique charm of St. Armands Circle, or the turquoise shores of Siesta Key. Whether cycling through nature trails, shopping local markets, or enjoying waterfront dining, there’s no shortage of ways to experience the best of this Gulf Coast town.

Balancing comfort with charm, this Sarasota bungalow invites guests to settle into an easy rhythm of rest, exploration, and simple pleasures—ideal for travelers who value thoughtful details and authentic Florida ambiance.
