Overview
About this home
Some homes offer a place to sleep. Others offer a place to settle in, spread out, and enjoy the little things that make a day feel complete.
At 2266 Bay Street, life extends beyond the walls. A large, private backyard, nearly fully fenced, offers a welcome patch of outdoor space in the heart of Sarasota. The wood deck invites slow mornings with a cup of coffee, dinners in the evening air, and weekends spent enjoying your own little corner of Florida. With lawn care included in the rent, you can enjoy the greenery without giving up your free time to maintain it.
Inside, updated tile flooring creates a fresh, easygoing backdrop for everyday living. A new refrigerator and dishwasher bring a welcome touch of modern convenience, while the in-unit washer and dryer and central air conditioning make home life that much more comfortable. A private driveway provides dedicated off-street parking, so coming home is simple.
The location offers its own kind of freedom. Alta Vista Elementary School and Sarasota High School are within half a mile, while downtown Sarasota is just a short drive away, with its restaurants, cafes, shops, and cultural attractions. Sarasota Memorial Hospital is nearby, making the location especially convenient for those working in healthcare.
And then there are the days when the coast calls. Wander through St. Armands Circle, watch the afternoon light settle over Lido Key, or spend a few hours on the powdery white sands of Siesta Key. Here, the pleasures of the beach are close enough to become part of your routine rather than an occasional escape.
With its private outdoor space, interior updates, and convenient access to the places that make Sarasota special, this home offers a comfortable setting for everyday life, with a little room to breathe along the way.
Lawn care is included in the rent. Pets may be considered on a case-by-case basis. Come discover a home that makes it easy to enjoy both the quiet moments and everything Sarasota has to offer.
Tenant splits Sarasota City Utility (water/trash) bill with other unit.
