Questions

Before you book

Which home is closer to the beach?

The Sarasota Oasis is about 10 minutes from Siesta Key Beach. Sun-Kissed is on the water itself, a canal that leads to Charlotte Harbor and the Gulf, with Englewood's Gulf beaches about 35 minutes away.

Is the Sun-Kissed pool heated?

No. From late spring through fall the sun keeps it warm; in January and February it's cooler, so plan on refreshing dips rather than long soaks.

Can I bring my boat to Sun-Kissed?

The waterfront is set up for fishing, swimming and paddling, not for mooring a boat. Nearby marinas and public ramps in Port Charlotte and Punta Gorda have slips and launches.

Do you allow pets?

Yes, by approval. The Sarasota home has a large fenced yard and welcomes up to two pets; Sun-Kissed considers one well-behaved pet. A pet fee applies. Please message us before booking.

Do you offer monthly stays?

Yes. Both homes host many winter and mid-term guests for one to three months. Pick your dates on the booking site or send us a message for a monthly quote.

Is it good for remote work?

Both homes have Wi-Fi and a desk. Sun-Kissed also has a wired ethernet connection; the Sarasota bunk room doubles as a quiet office.

Are taxes included?

Florida state and county taxes are added at checkout, and you'll see the full total before you pay.

What's your cancellation policy?

Your cancellation terms are shown on the booking page before you pay.
