The Secret In the Springs Hideaway, a luxury efficiency at the Legacy Trail

Anonymous quiet hideaway
in the invisible, original Sarasota suburb from the 50's:
"Sarasota Springs"
which abuts the Legacy Bike Trail.

In addition to miles of biking throughout Sarasota County, our location is convenient by car to downtown, beaches and Rt 75.

YOU WILL NEED A CAR IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD,
with your at-home-private-driveway parking.

300 sq.': everything at your fingertips......,
this efficiency is perfect for one, a little more crowded for 2! (2 week maximum on 2) no time limit for 1 guest. No pets, no children under 25. 6' by 6' window opens to delicious season weather over your private 100 sq ft sitting garden.
No one will cross your privacy: when your car is present. When your car is absent, we can blow leaves from your garden, and concierge your garbage and towels, as YOU choose.


Explore, cycle, rest, spend the day in your bubble tub under the skylite, ..... just enjoy a little old Florida... in your quiet sitting-garden in sun or shade and watch our fascinating population of birds, bunnies, squirrels and butterflies...

Uniquely affordable luxury accommodations are perfect for all explorations: local holistic, medical procedures (ie we are long renters to DATOLLI guests 4 miles away), local or remote internet work, cycling, local family, further learning the area, (ie real estate), and musicians welcome (double sound proofing)

Delicious choice of coffees and a full kitchen to make and keep fresh food daily, on your wide granite breakfast bar and counters : refrigerator, stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, deep sink w/light disposal,...blender, pots, pans, crockery, cutlery, steamer, toaster, filtered water pitcher, bottled water to get you started, coffee maker, creamer, sugars, cooking oil; and of course plates, coffee cups, glasses and bowls, recycling and trash. We provide paper towels and nice TP.
Swiffer, hand and sweep brooms, sterile Chlorox covid-strength wipes, and variety of cleaners are provided. Make yourselves at home.

Keep in mind this is SUBTROPICS just above sea-level: NO OPEN FOOD, critters will find us. Tupperware and sealable zip locks IN ABUNDANCE between dishwasher and sink, below

Masterlocked 5' X 6' Beach shed is stocked with chairs, umbrellas, coolers, and stores your bicycles+ for neighborhood and Legacy Trail cycling etc. Masterlock key is 2nd key on your ring. We do not provide bicycles at this time....

Massage sore muscles in our jacuzzi bubble bath tub, with a selection of soothing healing salts, or in our 4 point massaging spa shower with endless hot water at high pressure under the stars/sun of our shower skylight. Stocked bathroom cabinet is filled with soaps, lotions, toothpaste and floss, shampoos, conditioners, sunscreens and aloes for that occasional sunburn, with space remaining for your toiletries.

Here we have GUEST mini-washer & dryer for YOUR PERSONAL ITEMS ONLY, with laundry detergent and dryer sheets, iron and ironing board...... We ask that you use guest washing machine for YOUR ITEMS ONLY and allow us to launder and replace the large beach and apartment linens which are too much for your efficiency washer, THANKYOU. We can retrieve your used towels daily, or you can place outside in the same white as for garbage bags found under the sink, and take fresh towels from ample supply provided.

We change bed linens once a week. You will let us know how is most convenient.

We offer daily garbage removal if you permit, or you can just place garbage outside of unit.

For hanging clothes there is a 15" wide pants length closet and 25 sq feet of folding space in drawers and on shelves, within pristine solid white oak cabinets.

Luxury finishes throughout, all lights on dimmers.

Shops for every basic and unique need are available nearby, within a short or longer driving distance. You will need to have a car at this suburban location.

Smart TV with 1,000s Xfinity channels including sports, Bravo, news, films, HGTV, hi speed internet, and a DVD player, with hundreds of popular movies.

An anonymous hideaway at the Legacy Trail, by car, minutes away from downtown, the beaches or rt 75. Perfect space for work, rest, biking and exploring Sarasota.

Your Mini home awaits!
I’ll try to make this short and sweet. You can’t and will not find a better place to stay. It’s local to anything you need, siesta key is a short 15 min ish drive. Best beach 🏝️ I’ve ever been too. Your host Karen is the bomb 💣! She answers any requests or questions you have super fast. I recommend this “mini home” that literally has everything you need. The tub and skylight was very relaxing after a long day! A LOT of thought went into the design of this space to maximize every inch of it. Well done!! Will definitely stay again. Thank you for your hospitality Karen. Much appreciated. Peace ☮️ love ❤️ and joy 🤩!! Loved my stay here!!

BEST VRBO AND VALUE EVER!!!
This hidden jewel is by and large the most well-appointed, CLEAN, comfortable, well- managed, well-decorated, and updated VRBO. AIRB&B, HOTEL, MOTEL, OR RESORT we have ever had the pleasure of staying in; Karen has thought of everything, shampoo, conditionner, sunburn gel in frig, bath salts, liquid body wash, sun screen, bubble bath, high-grade linens, over oversized bath towels, beach towles, over 200 movies-with an alphabitized list, cable TV- even the sports channel, condiments, bandaids, washer and dryer, you name it she has thought of it. THIS IS THE PRRFECT PLACE TO FLY INTO with just a carry-on as she has all the toiletries. Karen, the host, was so delightful! We liked her so much we invited her out to dinner. Karen even empties your trash for you. Private side entrance with your own driveway! The list goes on. Talk about value!!! The price she charges for what she offers is unbeatable, and we looked for over two weeks. Hurry, don't miss out on this opportunity before she realizes she is under charging! Pet Princess, the cat, for us:) And yes, Karen will quite literally leave the lights on for you!

Nice quiet place.
Very clean place in a quiet neighborhood. Would definitely stay there again. The trees were dropping leaves and little fuzzies pretty heavily but the host did a good job of keeping the area as clean as possible.
