I have been renting from West Coast Realty since moving to Sarasota in fall of 2020. Amy & Jean are so responsive and kind. Any time I've needed anything fixed in the rental they either responded the same day or the very next day, keeping me informed of who was coming out and when they would be arriving. Honestly, from the nightmare stories I've read in dealing with real estate/rental companies I didn't expect to receive such GREAT communication, coordination and kindness. These two ladies care very much about their clients!

After signing a contract and paying the money we were told the owners wanted to stay an extra 15 day causing us to change our plans..... after finally getting into the property, I surveyed the cleanliness. The floors were still dirty after wiping up a spill in kitchen. We spent most of our time just the two of us quietly. At the end of our stay we had our 30 year old granddaughters down for a three night visit. Upon our return we were told there was damage. A ring on a side table, a spot on their high ceiling in kitchen? Replacement of a bedspread that had a spot, clean a spot off of outdoor cushion

Beware if You are the tenant renting apartment through Florida West Coast realty. We had a lease for a year, apartment needed cleaning before we moved in (dirty appliances , mater bathroom filthy, stained carpets )
We cleaned the apartment soonest we moved in. After few months building had structural damage, floor tiles in the foyer lifted off the floor about 2" ,we had to wait over a month to get it fixed! No discount for inconvenience! After we moved out we cleaned the apartment so it was in super shape compering time when we moved in. On the end we got screwed for $125.00 (stain on the carpet
