  We travel to Florida regularly. We've never been to this area and have to say it's my new favorite spot. The house is wonderful, "truly a home away from home!" The previous reviews are right on, the home has everything you could want. We enjoyed all the amenities, the pool, the BBQ pit, the bicyles, the computer. Thanks for making yet another vacation memory. This home is worth visiting again!

  This vacation home is all, and more, the ad offers! We had a party of 6 and there was more than enough room. The location was perfect and the house and pool were exactly what was promised. Jack, the manager, was very friendly and was a great source for things to do and places to visit in the area. He was always available if any questions arised. They also thought of everything you could need while away from home. We were very sad to leave, and would love to return in the future. Thank you for making our vacation a very memorable experience!!

  Owner response: I am so happy that you and your family had a great vacation. I try to keep the house stocked with everything that could make it as easy as possible for a great experience. I hope that you will come back next year. Enjoy your summer! Many thanks, Bob

  This the perfect family vacation home on a fabulous street just facing the intercoastal waterway. Minutes to the Boatyard seafood restaurant and a five minute walk to cresent beach. A very spacious, clean and stocked house with a bbq, beach chairs, toys and a salt water pool in the large backyard. What we loved having here were the bikes available for everyday use. Highly recommend to bike instead of driving especially during spring break. Very high traffic on the nearby stinkney point road. The perfect location to siesta beach, siesta village and sarasota. Be sure to visit the SALUTE restaurant on lemon ave at main st.in downtown Sarasota. Outstanding food. The whole expierence here was fantastic starting with Jack greeting us making sure we were happy with the house. Highly highly recommend this house for a family getaway. The only thing we couldn't find was a first aid kit. Do NOT eat at Captain Curt's restaurant.

  Outstanding!!! The whole vacation was a great time for the family and I to have fun without worrying about anything. From reserving the house with Bob to meeting Jack who handles things locally, you couldn't have had asked for a better couple of guys. We arrived late on July 9th and Jack met us at the house and showed us around the place answering any questions we might have had and ensuring we had his cell number if anything went wrong. We used his number only once when the pool pump started to fail and immediately their pool service repairman was on the scene replacing it. The first impression of the house was great and it appeared that Bob and Jack had gone the extra mile since it looked as though the house had just been remodeled and was super clean. It was certainly a "Home Away From Home" for us. The location of the residence was also very convenient with our family going scuba diving, visiting Busch Gardens and Ringling Brothers Mansion/Museum and even ocean kayaking/ paddling through the mangrove trees enjoying nature. And of course, Siesta Key and Turtle Cove Beaches are just beautiful and very relaxing. Just make sure you lather on the suntan lotion since you are in Florida! The hardest part of the vacation was getting back in the van and traveling back to Tennessee on July 15th. I have saved both Bob and Jack's numbers in my phone directory and look forward to our next vaction in Sunny Sarasota. Thanks again Bob and Jack for making this year's vacation very memorable.

See you next year, Bob and Jack

  We had a fantastic time here over July 4th! We were greeted by Jack when we arrived from our long ride from Atlanta! There was plenty of room for me and my husband, daughter, her husband and three small children. The house was so spacious and private!!!! We were pleasantly surprised by the large dining area, sun room, and wonderful pool! Thank you so much for a great week! We hope to come back in the near future!

  My sister and I stayed here in June and didn't want to leave. There were a total of 6 of us and we had so much room it was amazing. The house is beautiful and the patios and pool area are gorgous!!! Bob is a great person to work with while planning your stay and Jack is the sweetest man alive!!! He checked on us while we were there to make sure that we had everything that we needed. We also got to bring our Dauschaund, Sally with us which made our vacation even better. We visited about 5 different beaches during our stay and each one was better than the last. Plus you only have to travel about 5 minutes to get there. This was by far the best most comfortable place that we have ever rented. We will go back!! Thanks Bob and Jack!!!

  Our family stayed here over spring break and we absolutely loved it. We have teenagers and it gave us all plenty of room to spread out. We also appreciated the fact that we were able to bring our small dog with us. The pool was wonderful as well as the outdoor grill and patio area. The house was well maintained and clean and Jack was very welcoming when we arrived. Thanks again!!

  This home is truly a gem in beautiful Siesta Key! We were fortunate enough to stay for 2 weeks, it was the most comfortable place we have ever stayed. We brought our 2 dogs and the yard was just perfect. So much space inside & out for everyone the perfect place for families, friends. And so many amenities! And the pool, OMG the pool absolutley beautiful! The bikes were great for a ride to the beach or a restaurant nearby. We have rented many places in the area and this home is by far the very BEST! Bob & Jack are also some of the most personable folks we've met...thank you guys so much we will be back!! Sue & Jim....Oak Forest, Illinois.

  Owner response: Hi Sue and Jim, thank you very much and you are very welcome. It was our pleasure having you as guests. I try to keep everything fairly new and up to date. I use the house myself and know how I like it to be as well. I can't promise cold Corona's the next time you visit, but you never know! Have a great summer. Many thanks, Bob

  As another reviewer has mentioned, the internet picture do not do this wonderful, inviting home justice! This is a beautifully renovated home with everything that you need to enjoy your time - bikes, grill, fully equipped kitchen, fabulous heated pool. We enjoyed our stay with our family - 3 boys from age 13 to 20. This home provided the space compared to some cramped condo where we would all be bumping into each other. Jack was great with his welcome and Bob was a great person to deal with in making our arrangements. Easy bike ride/walk to the beach and attractions. We also appreciate greatly that our 2 yorkies were able to enjoy a spacious, fenced-in yard. We highly recommend this property! Thanks Bob and Jack for a wonderful stay! Be sure to rent kayaks during your stay, lots of wildlife to be seen!

  Owner response: Andrea, thank you! I am very happy that you and your family enjoyed your stay at my place. I try to always have it fully equipped for my guests. I agree, kayaking from Turtle Beach in the intercoastal is great! Please come back next year. Enjoy your summer months! Bob
