Get to Know Sarasota Florida With A Narrated DRIVING TOUR 🚗 [2022] 🚗

[@soniamoreira5003]

This was great. Thank you. You really think of everything to show us out of towner's how beautiful and amazing Sarasota is. Great job! Thank you

[@katrinstake]

Sonia, thank you for your kind words. Come visit SRQ :).

[@castleofcostamesa8291]

Thank you for the wonderful video! It is so helpful to see how beautiful, clean and peaceful Sarasota is! I love it!

[@katrinstake]

I am happy it was helpful to you! My goal is to showcase all the places in Sarasota I enjoy.

[@aol6983]

Katrin, absolutely fabulous video. Before the damn pandemic, we frequented Sarasota 10-12 years in a row, we love it there, haven't been back since 2019. I just love the Ringling Bridge and Armand Circle (we stay on Ben Frank Drive Lido Beach) as well as UTC, downtown etc. Been in the 'Columbia' tons of times (also the one in Celebration too) but yet to try 'Shore', everyone raves about it. We live in Scotland so we'll be back as soon as the grief + hassle of travelling is over, keep uploading these brilliant videos, makes our day.

[@katrinstake]

Thank you so much for your kind words! I am happy it put a smile on you. I have been to England but really want to visit Scotland soon! Looks very lush and mystical to me. Take care.

[@josephtrovato3344]

Excellent video.. very informative.. thank you for sharing your knowledge of this beautiful area.

[@katrinstake]

Hi Joe, nice seeing your comments on here. Thank you so much! :)

[@lkgstudios]

very cool. I want to move to Sarasota and this helped me get an idea of what is in store for me. Thank you.

[@katrinstake]

Glad you found it helpful:)

You must have read my mind. I was thinking about learning the roads in Sarasota. Please continue to post short driving routes of different areas in Sarasota. Thank You, Joe B.

Muchas gracias Marcelo!

Thanks for the tour Katrin. Sarasota looks like a nice place to live!

[@katrinstake]

You are very welcome Paula!

[@HaswellTravelled]

Great video to show Sarasota. Cute village core, fabulous bayfront, wonderful aerial views. I also like the PIP of you driving and providing commentary. Wish I was there instead of here. Well done. Big like and full play 👍. Thanks for sharing and have a great day 😀.

[@katrinstake]

Thank you for watching an commenting Haswell traveled :)

[@annjohnson543]

Thank you for the tour, Katrin. So fun to see many of the familiar areas there on your video. My husband and I have vacationed on Siesta Key for the last four winters and it is my favotie place. Trying to buy real estate on the Key was too expensive for us, so we bought a condo in North Sarasota this April. Now we can be there anytime we want. I have to drive to the beach, but that's a small sacrifice!

[@katrinstake]

You are still close by though...:) plus you get to enjoy other areas of Sarasota easily from North Sarasota. Congrats on your new home :).

[@annjohnson543]

Wow. Great video. Even though I live in the area I learned a lot from this video. Great visuals and editing. I'd love to see one on Palmer Ranch.

Thank you so much Lucretia! I am glad that there was something in it for you too as you already live in the area. :)

Thank you for the video. The wife and I are planning a trip next week. Hopefully we can relax get away from the big City.

That is awesome...you will enjoy it :)

Can't wait to be there!

Hi Francesca, I am sure you are going to love it. If you have questions prior to your stay here let me know! Ciao.

[@MrJ-rw2sw]

Katrin I’m planning to move to Florida after living in Chicago for 17 years. I wish I could have met you for a coffee and talk for hrs. You seem super intelligent and easy going. I don’t know where I wanna go but I’m intrigued by Tampa, sarasota and Naples. I will keep watching your videos.

[@katrinstake]

Hi Mr J. Thank you for your kind words. Come visit all these 3 places and get a feel for the area. They are all very different but unique in their own right. I am sure you are going to know where you like it best once you are down here. Stay warm!

[@MrJ-rw2sw]

@@katrinstake may I ask where did you come from moving to Sarasota and why did you choose it over other Florida cities. And I heard you have been there for 11 years if I’m not wrong…if you had to choose a different city to go to where would you go.

[@katrinstake]

@@MrJ-rw2sw Hi I came from NYC. Florida has so many different unique places to live and it is diff. for all of us. I also like downtown St. Pete. Nice waterfront location, lots to do and see.

[@gusnworb5348]

Great presentation. Thanks. Contemplating relocating to Florida from NYC. Sarasota and St. Augustine I'm considering. Leaning more towards Sarasota.

[@katrinstake]

Thank you Gus! If you haven't been to either, come visit and get to know the vibe. Each place has it's own beauty :).

[@kvmairforce]

I know you received a lot of compliments, but this was an amazing video! I am planning to move there, so I may be reaching out in a few months. I really waiting for prices to come down.

[@katrinstake]

Sinbreaker, I really appreciate your kind words. II wish you the best of luck in your move. If you have any questions, feel free to call me. Ciao.

Chafia, I am glad you enjoyed your stay...I agree Sarasota is beautiful 😍. Take care!

[@DS-go8mn]

I live near Yoder's just north and west of Bahia Vista ... nice houses built in the late 50s are going for half a million... many are turned into airbnbs and you could not meet nicer people

[@katrinstake]

Thank you for input DS :)

[@michaelknight7820]

I got to tell you. Iam not a fan of Florida but Sarasota is very nice. Kind of reminds me of Southern California a little bit.

[@katrinstake]

The shoreline and mountainous terrain in SCA make it look a bit different to me but both are great places to live in.

[@castleofcostamesa8291]

Yes, it has the clean and peaceful feeling of Newport Beach, Orange County, California.

[@deanstein3093]

The best thing I did was leave this city its nothing to do boring no jobs , I live in Hallandale Beach which is next Miami and Hollywood Beach the night life is amazing and its always some were to go and enjoy yourself

[@katrinstake]

Dean, glad you found a place that you enjoy :)

[@claudiahansen4938]

Great video! The bayfront reminds me of San Diego, where we live now.

Hi Mike, good to hear from you. I like the way you sound chirpy and happy :). Well, I thought it would be best if you just picked the chocolates up in Sarasota :). Time for you to travel across the pond. BTW it has been 10 days since your last upload...no pressure heehee :).

[@double-bass]

I'm currently here from Iowa, did some of the same drive on Tuesday. Absolutely love Sarasota!! I was wondering how much will the driving pattern change during the busiest time in the summer.

[@katrinstake]

The traffic in the summer should be better as the snowbirds are back north. Summer is slow season :).

[@katrinstake]

@@double-bass Agree, the housing market all over the US needs to take a breather. I just don't think it will happen anytime soon, especially not here :(.

Thank you for such video I coming with my two kids to Florida July 22nd and wondering how long I need to spend there ? 4 days ?

Depends on purpose of visit. If it is just to explore the area 4 days should be sufficient

If your thinking of moving here... prepare to grab your ankles.. thanks to the florida realtor covid price hike

John trust me, realtors are not the reason for the spike hike. Comes down to buyer demand and inventory.

Crickets...........

[@katrinstake]

@@johnmilner6505 John, of course, a realtor will make more on a home that costs more assuming the agent got the deal. You are failing to see the bigger picture here though. First of all, I am driven by making customers happy, not by pushing them into a costlier situation. Secondly, the market was not very friendly to agents. Most are probably very, very happy that it is cooling. Why? Most homes got plenty of offers but only one can make it through. The market was insanity and thank goodness it is cooling. I have been in situations where one listing got 40 offers. Do the statistics here.

Hey Todd, I am actually from NYC and visit often. I don't agree that traffic is worse in Sarasota than in the places you mentioned above. In the contrary. In terms of crime, last time I checked, the rates were higher in the areas up North that you mentioned.
