Wonderful vacation in Sarasota Unni (Trondheim, Norway) Review submitted: July 17, 2012 Date of arrival: June 18, 2012 My family and I have had the most wonderful 3 weeks at this lovely house in Sarasota wich have all the amenities one could think of, both out and indoor. The kitchen is clean and very well equipped and with two living rooms one could be considerate according to different wishes and needs. Also the bedrooms are spacious and well equipped. The lanai area is wonderful with a lovely and calm view towards the golf corse, the swimming pool is spaciuos and we spent many evenings together barbequing and having pleasant dinners at the outdoor dining area. We also enjoyed the charming bird- and animal life in the garden outside. We want to thank the friendly hosts and we hope to come back some other time! U & Family - Norway

We had a wonderful time staying at your beautiful home. It was perfect!! Enough room for everyone. The pool was great and so were the animals that came to see us. We spent a lot of time at the beaches nearby collecting shark's teeth and shells. We are looking forward to coming back next summer! Thank you!

Our second visit to your wonderful home. We have yet again had a great time. The wildlife is just great to watch. Three cranes visited us - I think they would have wondered into the pool area if the the door had been left open! I'm sure we will return again soon. Many, many thanks.

We are just coming to the end of our 4 week stay in your lovely home. The weather has been wonderful. We have played lots of golf, walked miles on Siesta Beach and eaten and drank lots. We loved our holiday in Florida and are already looking forward to next year's stay.

Well, visit number 8 is coming to an end and we are packing to leave. We have experienced yet another amazing holiday in your beautiful home and we can never thank you enough for allowing us to stay here. So its now a case of getting back to the daily grind in the cold dark UK and counting down the days to our next stay here in 2012.

Such a lovely home! We all thought it luxurious and spacious, well equipped and well looked after. Our childrens' swimming confidence has improved with the daily use of the pool! The wildlife has been fascinating. I have identified 15 bird species just from sitting by the pool! It's been a heatwave whilst we've been here - 97 degrees phew! We would all love to come again sometime. Thanks for everything.

We first visited this magnificent holiday home in May 2006 and we have been back every year since. In fact next year we are staying there twice. For us it was simply a question of love at first sight, the house is spacious, luxurious, comfortable and beautifully furnished. Sarasota is a particularly stunning part of Florida and this home contains everything you need for the perfect vacation and is suitable for couples of all ages, families and groups of friends. We especially love relaxing by the pool, sipping a cold drink and taking in the impressive scenery which includes a vast range of birds and other wildlife. It provides the guests with the perfect environment for completely relaxing and forgetting about work and just about everything else for that matter? The house is also ideally located for the shopping malls, downtown Sarasota the beach and the interstate. Moreover if you are a fan of the theme parks then Busch Gardens is an hour away and the Disney Parks a little over two hours drive. There are numerous excellent restaurants in close proximity but our particular favourites are Roys (for fine dining) and Leroy Selmons for lunch. We would also highly recommend a visit to the street market which takes place every weekend in downtown Sarasota where you can purchase some unique items of craft including paintings and sculptures. We would also recommend a visit to The Ringling Circus Museum. We love all the beaches but our particular favourite is Siesta Key, with its fine white powdery sand, is simply unforgetable. In summary we cannot recommend this house highly enough and once visited we guarantee that you will want to come back year after year.

This was our fourth stay in this property. The villa is set in an established and beautifully maintained golf complex. The villa is decorated to a very high standard and is always spotlessly clean on arrival. Everything you would need is provided which makes a change for most holiday rentals. It has a fantastic outside area which includes a lovely swimming pool, an outdoor kitchen area with BBQ and comfortable loungers for sunbathing as well as outside seating and eating area. The views from this villa are the 'icing on the cake'. It looks across a wonderful golf course and is not overlooked by other properties. The local birdlife is spectacular along with the sunrises. It is very quiet and peaceful and makes for a most relaxing holiday. The beaches of Sarasota are within an easy driving distance - Longboat Key being the closest. These beaches are unspoilt, clean and safe. There are plenty of local attractions to visit including the Ringling Museum and Marie Selby Gardens which make for a great and interesting day out. The villa is situated within a five min drive of many restaurants as well as a couple of great supermarkets where you can buy great food to cook on your BBQ back at the villa! Everything is provided for guests at this property and you will be very well looked after by the owners family members Helen and Ron should you require any assistance. I would thoroughly recommend this property - I wish I could live there all year round!!

OMG! What a wonderful vacation home! We really enjoyed staying here as it provided more than any other vacation homes I have ever stayed in (and there have been a few!). The views of the golf course are wonderful with all sorts of wildlife coming to visit each day. Living in the house was just like being at home, which made us comfortable from the start. The decor is tasteful, the beds are comfy, the house is very clean and kept to a high standard and the neighborhood is quiet and safe. The house is conveniently situated with shops and great restaurants only a drive away. The children really enjoyed the space that comes with this home and of course the swimming pool as they were never out of it! The beach is a short car journey away and the owners provide beach loungers, towels, sun shades and coolers - we have had to bring these along when staying at other houses. Also provided are the little things you have to buy when staying in other homes like laundry products, dishwasher detergent and hand soap. We really enjoyed using the outdoor cooking facilities. Thank you so much for a wonderful time and we are already making plans to return next year!

What a wonderful property! It was absolutely beautiful. We have never been in such a well equipped and maintained holiday home. The owners take so much pride in this property. It is immaculate. There is everything (and more) you could imagine for a fabulous holiday. After a hectic three weeks around the Orlando attractions, the house was a welcome break! Just a shame we only had a week here! The owners (parents) were really friendly and helpful. We really couldn't have asked for a better end to our dream holiday! Thanks again, and we would love to visit again in the future.

We've been coming to Sarasota for a few years now, usually during July and August and have stayed in this house many times. We have never been disappointed. We have always been made to feel that this was our "home" while we were here. It's always very clean, well maintained, and everything we could possibly need for our stay is right there. Ilona, Helen, and Ron are absolutely wonderful people and are always just a phone call or email away, should there be any problems (although usually there are none!). There are several good restaurants in the Sarasota area and beautiful gulf coast beaches just a short drive away. The house sits on a corner lot, on the golf course and is very quiet and peaceful. The wood storks and sand hill cranes come by for a visit almost daily, and on our most recent visit we saw an otter swimming in the creek right behind the house. I guess if I had to find something negative to say, it would just have to be how hard it is to leave this house at the end of our stay every year! But how much we look forward to coming back again and again

This was our first time renting in Florida and your house has set a very high benchmark for the future. The house is superb in a quiet secure area with the very good quality fit out. The pool is great for keeping kids big and small happy and the outdoor BBQ a great asset. There is nothing I can fault your house on and once again thank you.

Thank you so much for opening your home up for us to enjoy. It was just the right quiet retreat in the beautiful Florida sunshine. You made us feel right at home. This was truly one of my favorite vacations (and I have travelled extensively). If the house is available again - we will definetly be returning. Thanks again so much, B & C

Our visit to Sarasota has been made so much more enjoyable through being able to spend a week in your spectacular villa. Your pride in your house and your pleasure in ensuring your guests enjoy their stay was evident from beginning to end. From your attractive website, to the pre-visit communication, to the little touches around the house they helped to make our stay such a pleasure. You have gained some ambassadors in Wales and our family has gained wonderful memories.

This was our second stay in your house and it was as beautiful as the first time. The squirrels fighting for the best place next to the seeds. Myrtle the turtle is jogging around the yard, a lovely rabbit is eating in the evening grass. As our last stay was in December it was warmer and sometimes the pool and ocean was like a whirlpool. Thanks a lot!

Thank you for 3 wonderful weeks in your lovely home! We have enjoyed the time here. The pool was great, the surroundings and the neighbourhood was so peaceful. The wildlife was amazing. We'll miss the Sand Hill Cranes. Your house is very comfortable and beautiful:) Everyone of us is a little bit sad at the thought of returning to Germany to work and to the bad weather.

My second visit to Florida. Weather cooler than last year but still comfortably pleasant. Nothing lost of the comfort, luxury and tranquility. Tasted the magic of Disney (not lost on a 63 year old). Once again a great family holiday.
