Wonderful Airbnb, it was one of our favorite Airbnbs we have stayed at so far! We loved how close it was to the mall but also it was very private. The Airbnb had a modern look to it and everything was cozy. Great coffee machine and hot tub! Also great sitting place outside. Very peaceful. We can't wait to come back!

The Crew House was a perfect place for our stay in Sarasota for my son’s soccer showcase. We were close to Whole Foods/shopping/restaurants, made breakfast, went to games, came back to shower in the simple, modern bathroom, then relaxed in the clean and cozy living room. We loved the washer/dryer option, too, to clean uniforms. We were surrounded by beautiful trees and nature…quiet and peaceful at night. Thank you, Charla & Harrison, for offering such a gem of a house! We will definitely book it again, if the opportunity arises in the future!

I had a great experience at this this Airbnb! I loved the house, the location was amaxing, and the host was accessible, helpful, and friendly. For health conscious people: the house is very close to Whole foods and Jessica's Organic Farm, and has very low EMF (its "green zone" on my Acousticom 2). ..it also has plenty of nature with the beautiful back yard, and is so peaceful despite being only a short distance to restaurants, shopping, and downtown Sarasota. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Absolutely beautiful place to stay in. When we first arrived christmas jazz was playing and it was almost a magical feeling opening that door. Very close to the UTC which has tons of great restaurants and close to a whole foods for snacks to have in the home! Absolute gem listing and we will be regulars!

What a cute house! We loved our stay at the Crew House. Its was exactly as described and tucked away down a private lane surrounded by trees yet accessible to so much. The house is well appointed with all new amenities. We appreciated having multiple desks and tables to use as workspaces while mixing work and fun. The size is perfect for a couple and the value far exceeded staying at a hotel. We would absolutely come back for another visit. The only thing I wish was available was a gas bbq grill instead of a charcoal grill.
