I have been to the Inn twice now, enjoyed both visits and will go again. Lois, the owner, is very welcoming and attentive to your needs, and the B&B experience is a good one. It is centrally located in the south part of Sarasota, in a quiet, residential neighbourhood 10-15 minutes from one of the best beaches in the area. A large pool is also available offsite, but you can relax in either the outside hot tub, or a large tub in a huge ensuite bath. Your specific breakfast needs will be catered to, with as much, or as little, conversation as you desire. If you would like a quiet oasis as part of your vacation or business trip, I highly recommend the Norman Inn.
