The pronunciation of C’Est La Vie restaurant is the funniest thing I’ve heard in years

[frosty]

Perfect timing as I will be visiting Sarasota next month 👍

[CarlWithACamera]

Your videos are impeccably perfect. The time you put in does not go unnoticed.

I hope you never stop making these beautiful Florida videos 🌴💖 Thank you for bringing the beauty of Florida to those of us who've moved away and miss our home state! I find such comfort in your channel 😄

[qendresaful]

Floridian for life currently live in Sarasota and one of my favorite beaches is longboat key.

[lillianappelgren]

Thank You for The Most Beautiful Video of Sarasota, Florida❤ I shared it with family and Friends in Europe. I have seen many other videos of Sarasota, but none had really showed to my satisfaction, Tge Beauty of this Gorgeous City! Thank You so much! You did it Justice! ❤❤❤

[latskier]

Awesome video! Your productions just keep getting better. Sarasota & area keys are now our #1 vacation priority after watching this video. Hi Bella!

[mariadelcmontalvo]

Excellent for my next Sarasota vacation

[theresaschall]

We head down in a week to that beautiful paradise! This will be our third visit. Thanks for the beautiful video reminding us of some öf our favorite places and showing us some hidden gems we will definitely make a point to visit!

Whoa, that shot at starting at 17:29, stellar looking. Really makes me wish I was there. Amazing work overall as usual. The best I can describe Florida at times is that it has such great "color." The blue skies, splotches of green grass, and paints on buildings, you do a great job of capturing it. When I talked to people who live in Florida, I think they become desensitized to that visual sensation.

[gracegarden]

Thank you for the Florida eye candy. It's my happy place. You are so creative with the way you present things, capture unique shots, and keep things entertaining and even heart-warming while giving so much great info. I've spent time at Myakka River State Park and explored the areas you are in here. I love the garden and Turtle Beach! The last time I was there I didn't have my pup, so I am extra interested in the dog-friendly tips you give. The 'relaxing' video you mentioned sounds nice. Peace & Prayers.

[coro]

Easy to understand and stunning views in this presentation! A great place to live!!

[kreese]

I revisit your videos when winter in the Inland Northwest is getting the best of me. The sky and ground are often a whitish grey, and everything is dead and dreary for 5 months or more. What an escape to see your Florida vids.

Thanks for all that you do with such care, excellence, fun, and professionalism.

[rils]

I’ve wanted to move there for years. My top pick in Florida will always be Sarasota!

[marco]

What a great asset you are to the YouTube channel. These videos will be cherished forever amongst the planet earth lovers. Please keep sending us many more sensational videos like this one. I hope Google realises the importance of driving tours. drone tours and walking tours. These videos entice the traveler to discover new areas to explore. Especially when you take us through all the wonderful scenic roads. It gives us all a great opportunity to observe the authentic way of life and charming architecture. Thank you for addressing to us the name of each place throughout the trip. It really shows the amount of work and effort you have put into this video. So professional and helpful. Mill gracias!!!

[martinpenev]

Always worth watching every second of your videos. Keep up the good work! 🙏🏻

[DS-gomn]

We bought a couple properties in 34237. One to live in and one as an Airbnb and could not be happier. Almost making enough money on the Airbnb to pay both mortgages. Close to downtown, Lido, Longboat and Siesta.

[DevonnaChristopher]

LOVE SARASOTA!! Will be moving back very soon. Can't wait! 🥰

[dickersondesigns]

Now I'm watching it again to catch what I missed when I was commenting on the live show! And then I always save your videos in a travel file on my YouTube channel

[marcdich]

Good morning Tampa arrow media. Hey this is marc from Ohio watching your video of Sarasota. You’re bringing back more memories are used to go through that area when I was younger about 40 years ago with mom, which by the way she passed away in December 2022 but you know if she were still alive today this is just bringing back memories for her. There’s just something about Florida in general. I grew up and lived in Tampa I was born in Ocala so I’m a Florida native, but there’s just something about Florida. It has a whole Nother feeling about it that no other state has and every time I watch a video it just reminds me I miss home but you know my home is not down there even though I call Florida my home I guess home is just where your heart is and is contradicting as this sounds my heart is in Florida and so therefore I need to go back, but I have no one to go back to that makes any sense so, an oxymoron I want to be there because I love it but I have nowhere to go to to enjoy it with, but I just still want to thank you for your videos because I love watching them and it’s just as good as being there anyway take care
