Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2005
Welcome to my "Sarasota Pool Home". I have lived in Sarasota for over 19 years. It is truly the "gem" of Florida. I travel for a living, so I spend a lot of time in hotels. I'm a pilot for one of the largest airlines in the world. Because of this, I understand how important it is to be welcomed into an inviting, warmly furnished, and most importantly CLEAN environment. This is my only vacation/holiday rental, so it gets my full attention. When I'm away, my parents are here to ensure your visit is perfect. The best part about renting the Pool Home, has been meeting all the interesting and fun people from here and abroad. I try to greet all my guests when they arrive. It's that personal touch that sets my home apart from the others, and reassures my guests that they are in good hands when they rent the Sarasota Pool Home. My guest reviews can be read on VRBO's parent web site Home Away listing 83375.
Why the Owner Chose Private Homes
When people ask me what it's like to live in Sarasota, I tell them even after all these years, "It's not like going home...it's like going on vacation". What better place for a vacation rental. The Pool Home is perfectly located between all the activities on Siesta Key (short walk to the beach, shops, restaurants etc.) and all the conveniences of the mainland (large grocery stores, malls, many many more restaurants, and all the activities in and around Sarasota...Myakka State Park, Ringling Museum, Mote Marine Lab., St Armands Circle, Lido Beach, Selby botanical gardens, art districts, performing arts halls, Marina Jacks, and so much more). The Pool Home is perfectly located to provide easy access to all that lovely Sarasota has to offer. Hope to see you soon!
The Unique Benefits of this House
The Sarasota Pool Home provides your own private tropical paradise. It is close to everything, and yet you can feel like you are away from everything in this tropical retreat. Spend your days sunning by the pool, and your evenings enjoying the warm gulf breezes, the dazzling sunsets, and a cocktail (or two) on your lanai. The Pool Home is in a quiet, old Florida, family neighborhood which is covered with palm trees, hibiscus and bougainvillea bushes, and old oak trees hanging with spanish moss. Many of my guests have commented that they ended up spending most of their vacation on the back lanai right by the pool.

After reading all of the rave reviews for this home, my wife, children, and I were pleased to find that they were all right on target. Despite having rain for the majority of the time we were in Siesta Key, the amenities of this house made our time there incredibly relaxing and enjoyable. Our arrival began by meeting the owner, Bob (who was super helpful and friendly), and getting a nice tour and overview of the house, plus a helpful explanation of some of the surrounding attractions. Though we brought our own computers, a nice iMac was provided, along with a printer and wireless connection. The Internet was super simple to connect to, and the speed was definitely adequate (I'm a Web developer, so high speed is definitely important to me :). We loved the location, because it's within walking distance to the beach, but there is also easy access to just about anything else you can imagine -- grocery stores, movies, a mall, a large number of restaurants, gas stations, jet ski rentals, and on and on. The pool is amazing. The lanai in the back is the perfect place to spend your time, whether taking a break from the sun or spending time outside on a rainy day. We used the grill quite a bit. Bob was thoughtful enough to make sure there was a full spare propane tank, which we ended up needing. Sure, you won't necessarily find every single spice or condiment in the kitchen, but there certainly were quite a few already there. In my opinion, providing everything for everyone isn't really necessary. The grocery store is right down the street. :) We left several things that we purchased for those who came after us (just as those who came before us did). I would HIGHLY suggest this house. We hope to be able to return in the years to come and will certainly recommend it to our friends and relatives.

We just returned from spending a month in this beautiful home. The home is very clean and comfortable. The location is close to the beach and shopping. The owner has furnished the home with tasteful furniture, the kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals and there are beach chairs, umbrella and coolers for trips to thebeach.We enjoyed the pool and the large lanai. We would recommend this home to our friends. It was nice to have the owner meet us at the house when we arrived. He recommended we go to the Myakka State Park which we enjoyed. We love the Clam Chower at Capt. Kurt's which is close by.

We went on a vacation with our 2 yr. old daughter and my in-laws. The house is spotless and the lanai is a lovely spot to have lunch. The beach is close by and Bob, the owner, has beach chairs and beach accessories to use. It was great to have toys for a little one including a high chair! Crescent Beach has powdery sand and the ice cream shop across the street is not to be missed. Lido Beach is a 20-25 minute drive north (and west) and is great for shell seekers. The Marie Selby Botanical Garden on Tamiami Trail north is not to be missed. We had a wonderful lunch at the Oasis Cafe (mediteranean) close to the house. There is a publix grocery store close by, which is convenient for buy breakfast and lunch foods. It's also nice that there is a dvd collection for visitors. When we arrived, there were no condiments at all in the refrigerator so we had to buy all that, which was a bit of a bummer (and expense). Despite that small issue, we loved the house and would definitely recommend.

We found this home a perfect environment for a wonderful vacation. The home itself is immaculate and furnished to a very high standard with every conceivable necessity. Even an Apple Computer ! There are TVs and DVDs in the bedrooms as well as in the living room. Our 2 year old granddaughter was with us and we had the use of a stroller, highchair and many toys for the beach and home. We loved the lanai with its heated pool, outdoor grill and furniture which lends itself to comfortable outdoor living. The location is amazing...walking distance from Crescent Beach with its baby powder white sand, supermarkets and many other shops and local restaurants. The dazzling sunsets are well worth a walk in the evening or one could enjoy them from the beach or the nearby restaurants. Bob the owner met us on arrival. What an incredibly kind and thoughtful man. He explained all the amenities in the house and when he heard that we would not have a car until the next day when our family joined us, spent much of the early afternoon driving us around showing us the Siesta Key Village, Crescent Beach , recommending restaurants and even took us to the nearby Publix to buy groceries. A couple of highlights for us was our bird walk in the Myakka State Park Park and our visit to the Botanical Garden. The car trips to Lido Beach were easy and quick and we thoroughly enjoyed St Armands Circle with all its boutiques and restaurants. We all look forward to a return visit !

11/28/10 Positive We have just returned from two very enjoyable weeks at the S.Pool Home. We found it to be exceptionally well equipped and feel we are good judges as we have rented homes in many countries. Its proximity to fine beaches and shopping made it perfect for us. The pool and lanai is wonderful. Lots of toys for the kids too. We used it everyday. There is outdoor dining and a excellent gas BBQ. We consider the SPH a real find. Thanks for your attention Bob.

08/23/10 Positive The Sarasota Pool home is perfectly situated next to Siesta Key with just a short walk to one of the best beaches on the planet. All amenities you need are located within a short drive of the home along with some great restaurants. We really enjoyed Phillippi Creek, the Outback, SKOB and Sharkey's down at Venice Beach. There's also plenty of shopping nearby at the the two Westfield Mall's. St. Armands Circle is also well worth a visit. The house is furnished to a very high standard and has everything you need to hand. There are three double bedrooms, two bathrooms and a very spacious lounge and kitchen. The laundry area was an added bonus. The computer also came in very handy for checking routes to various restaurants and places of interest. There was also the beautiful swimming pool! Our family had a fantastic time and would 100% recommend this property.....can't wait to come back. Ian, Sheffield, England --- (entry from Homeaway Connect Guestbook)

Date Submitted: July 25, 2010 Date of Stay: July 2010 This home has everything a vacationer will need. We just returned from a weeks stay and brought many beach items from home. What we found was that most everything was provided for us. I like the fact that everything is near by, but the neighborhood is quiet. We enjoyed having our own pool and were minutes from the beach. The home is attractive, clean, well maintained and has every convenience your own home would have. I would recommend this property to anyone. Our four year old granddaughter had a great time and so did we. Would definitely stay at this home again.

Date Submitted: July 18, 2010 Date of Stay: July 2010 This home was perfect for us. Bob answered all e-mails within 24 hours. His father was there to welcome us and give us a tour of the home when we arrived. The home was immaculate. The pool was warm and sparkling clean. The kitchen was well stocked. We used the gas grill everyday and enjoyed eating lunch on the lanai. The Apple computer and wifi were a nice bonus. Plenty of shopping very close by. Siesta Key beach is our favorite. ( love that white,never hot sand ) but, plenty of other beaches to check out in the area. It was great having coolers,beach chairs, beach towels ect.. available for use. Even two bikes . Bob you thought of everything ! My only regret is that with all these great reviews, the house may not be available for our next vacation. We will definitely be back.

Date Submitted: July 10, 2010 Date of Stay: June 2010 My family and I had the pleasure of staying here on vacation this past June and had an amazing time. This was our first trip to Sarasota and Bob was kind enough to,answer any questions we had about the area and to give us tips on how to get around and local spots we should visit. The home is located just minutes from the finest beaches in the country. We recommend Turtle Beach, somewhat secluded and less crowded, very nice, the sunsets are unbelievable! The home is well maintained and includes everything you will need for your stay, Bob has taken the time to think of everything. The Pool was great, we all enjoyed it, the perfect compliment to our stay. The home was well stocked with everything you would need, plenty of toys for your time at the beach, bicycles should you want to take a ride around the area, nice amenities such as mac computer/internet, wifi should you want to bring your own pc, gas grill, truly anything you will need. We were minutes away from great local restaurants, Publix should you want to dine in and plenty of shopping. We recommend a trip to St. Armand's Square just 10 mins away, great shopping and dining! If you are looking for the perfect Sarasota getaway we highly recommend that you stay here, you will not be disappointed! We hope to be back....
