🚗 Two miles (5min drive) from downtown Sarasota 🌴 Old-Florida charm: lots of lush tropical greenery 🚣🏼‍♂️ On Whitaker’s Bayou. 🌟 It’s the best of both worlds: peaceful nature on the creek, and easy access to all the best restaurants, beaches, and charming Main St atmosphere. 💩 MUST have a bathroom on-board. No sewer hookup 💦 No water hookup, but you may fill your water tank with the hose ⚡️ 15amp & 30 amp plug ins. BYO adapter. Extension cord needed to reach the plug. 🏕️ No long term campers. No tent camping. 🚴🏼 Biking to Main St takes 8-10minutes if you have bicycles! 🏖️ Ten minute drive from St-Armands Circle and Lido Beach; 20-25 minute drive from Siesta Key Beach. The Bayou goes all the way out to the Gulf - we see large schools of mullet here, occasionally turtles, hawks, and herons. If you are lucky, you might see a manatee or an otter! We have a 36” campfire pit you are welcome to use. We are still working on getting seating for the campfire pit, but if you have camping chairs, it’s perfect! We have an amazing location to share AND we also have neighbors to the left, and across the creek. We value and respect them. We wish to share our space with quiet and mindful campers. The property is 0.5 acre. You will be parking in part of the yard, under the shade of one of the oaks, slightly tucked back away from the house. We can be available to help/welcome you, and offer local guidance if you like. **A sweet but fearful rescue dog lives here and we are not allowing any other animals to camp or stay on the property.** NO DOGS WHATSOEVER. You will be made to leave if you violate this condition. ***Our acceptance rate is lower because people with dogs, 5 people in their party, or no onboard facility of their own submit booking requests, which we must decline.🚗 Two miles (5min drive) from downtown Sarasota 🌴 Old-Florida charm: lots of lush tropical greenery 🚣🏼‍♂️ On Whitaker’s Bayou. 🌟 It’s the best of both worlds: peaceful nature on the creek, and easy access to all the best restaurants, beaches, and charming Main St atmosphere. 💩 MUST have a bathroom on-board.

Steph was a helpful and friendly host. She welcomed us on arrival, offered suggestions of places to eat and bike when we asked, and checked in by text to make sure we were having a good trip. Her space is beautiful and feels secluded, even though very close to downtown Sarasota. Hope to stay again.

Steph and your sweet dog Ollie, wow what a beautiful backyard you have in the middle of the city. Amazing location and a short drive to the beaches. We felt welcomed by you both and felt secure within your gated property. Just what we were looking for. We will definitely keep you in mind for our future trips. From Sandra and John

Bayou Bliss

We loved Steph’s little slice of paradise. Bayou Bliss was perfect for us in our Sprinter Van. The property is gated; entire yard is shady; beautiful deck overlooking the small bayou; 30amp electric; and available water. We spent our evening on the deck; quiet and peaceful. We slept well; no traffic noise, no blinding lights. Steph was friendly and accommodating. And her little buddy, Ollie (dog), was sweet. We would definitely stay here again.

The quiet private spot on the river with a nice big wooden deck to do yoga on every morning, viewing of wood bucks and lots of fish swimming in the clear river
