  • INDIVIDUAL LEASES

    We take all the hassle out of leasing, whether it’s a single room for one or a whole home to students who already know each other. Our individual leases (one per bedroom) protect each Resident, as each is responsible only for their own lease and they are not tied financially to any of their other housemates. In traditional rentals, everyone living at the property is required to sign on to a single lease.  Everyone is liable for the entire amount of rent, utilities, utility deposits, and credit checks.  This means that if one housemate is unable to pay rent or bills (because of financial difficulties, problems with student loans, having to leave school, etc.) the other housemates are then legally responsible for paying the difference.  Why have your money, rental history, and credit history on the line for another person over whom you have no control? With our rentals, you are always protected, as you only have to worry about taking care of your own lease.

  • SINGLES

    Looking for a room or space just for yourself? No problem! We have Studio Apts, 1 Bedroom Apts, and Single Private Bedrooms in Shared Homes 

    with other Like-minded and Like Lifestyle Housemates. 


    You NEVER have to Share a Bedroom. 

  • GROUP OF STUDENTS

    Gather a Group and Live Off-Campus with Your Friends. We have 2-5 Bedroom Homes Available for Groups of Students to Live together Off-Campus.  Enjoy living with your friends, but enjoy it more, because you never have to worry about being responsible for them in any way.  You are only ever responsible for yourself. 

  • COST

    Competitive Rates and Typically Less Expensive than Dorm Housing. Save Money, Time, and the Hassle of Moving In and Out of your Dorm Housing Every Year when the Dorms Close. You can Stay over the Summer in your Home for Work, Internships, or School Projects, Lock up your Room and Come and Go as you wish,  or you may choose to Sublet your Space for the Summer and Save Money on your Lease.  Great for International Students and Out of State Students Who Have High Travel Costs Between Here and Home.

  • FINANCIAL AID ACCEPTED

    We accept Finacial Aid and Loan Disbursements just like the Colleges do! We are very pleased to be able to facilitate this to help out our Student Residents who rely on this aid to live off-campus.  We are the only local Owners that accept this!  We accept Financial Aid Awards through FAFSA, Parent Plus, and other Student Aid/Loan Programs. Please inquire for more information. 

  • INDEPENDENCE AND LIFE SKILLS

    There’s nothing quite like gaining independence by living away from home. Our off-campus student housing provides the chance to live independently whilst removing some of the pressures that come from renting privately, and without being overly monitored and restricted in a college dorm.  Learning to cook and to begin to take care of yourself fully is an invaluable experience before venturing out into wherever your career may take you after you graduate.  Being prepared and experienced in the "real world"  will help you be more successful. 

  • CONVENIENT LOCATIONS

    Minutes to Downtown Sarasota, Ringling College, New College of Florida, USF Sarasota,  Keiser College, Mote Marine Aquarium, Sun Hydraulics.  Many homes are Walkable to Ringling College of Art and Design as well as the Walmart Grocery Store.  All Homes within 1-mile os of Ringling Collge of Art and Design, USF Sarasota, New College of Florida. and Sun Hydraulics,  Proximity to Ringling College of Art and Design for most properties is never more than 18 Blocks away down Old Bradenton Road. Even living 15-20 minutes away from campus can turn into a commute time of 30-45 minutes in Sarasota traffic, especially during the winter tourist season months. Why spend your time in the car commuting when you can spend that time on your studies or your much-needed downtime? 

  • SECURITY

    Since we have been offering student housing in this area for 18 years and live in the area ourselves, we only buy and lease homes in safe areas located near the Colleges and Downtown Sarasota.  However, all properties are equipped with Alarm Systems and Security Lights for peace of mind. 

  • SENSE OF COMMUNITY

    Our off-campus student-focused rentals give students the chance to live in a comfortable and shared environment with like-minded peers, creating a great sense of community and establishing friendships for years to come. 

  • LOCAL OWNERS

    You can sleep well at night knowing that your Owners and Full Time Maintenance Staff live in the same neighborhood of Bayou Oaks, Sarasota only blocks away from all our properties. Many are on the very street we live on. You never have to worry about the dreaded, out of town, absentee Owner/ Management Company with Sarasota Off-Campus.
