Richard Barber's room

Pet friendly 130 sq/ft room in quiet, safe neighborhood on ¼ acre block – 5 minutes from major shops & 20 min from downtown Sarasota.

King-sized bed, generous closet & storage space, excellent wireless signal strength for Netflix, cell phone etc, wireless headphones for late-night binging, double-glazed windows & 24 hr air-conditioning, quiet home and quiet & safe neighborhood on a cul-de-sac. 10 min to Home Depot, Walmart, CVS, 7/11, Taco Bell, 2 major gyms, Ollie’s, Panera, T-mobile, restaurants, hair salons and hospitals. If you have a cat-friendly dog who needs a yard, this is it. ¼ acre block – fully fenced.

I have 7 rescue cats – so you must be an animal lover and vigilant about not letting Morris and John-John sneak out the front door when they come to greet you – ha! ha! I do vacuum and mop morning and night and try my best to keep the place as clean as possible. I might be a cat-lover, but I’m not a slob.

I don’t smoke, but I used to so I understand it. Please just agree to keep it outside. This is a quiet neighborhood of blue-collar workers, white collar workers, retirees and snow-birds, so no short-term rentals, no Air B-N-B, no late-night partiers or anything like that. Would suit a traveling professional who needs to be in Sarasota for a fixed amount of time due to work and/or study.

All utilities included.

Thanks!

I live here alone with my 7 rescue cats. I run my own pet-sitting business as well as sell 2 products online while driving rideshare on the side to make ends meet. Only bought the place in February 2022 and it has been a real fixer-upper, requiring massive re-plumbing and concreting. It’s now up and running, but is a bit rough around the edges. Am constantly improving it, bit by bit.
