Great for families

This house had everything we needed for our 3 young children. The pac-n-play, high chair, beach toys, beach wagon, and baby gate for the pool made our stay significantly easier! We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect vacation home close to beaches

This home was perfect for our family with 4 kids under 11! Had plenty of entertainment between the pool, games, toys and everything you need for the beach! We explored a handful of beaches all within 30 minutes of this house. The best beaches I’ve been at! The neighborhood is peaceful and grocery stores close by. Sarasota is a busy town but while staying in this home, we had our own oasis. One of the best VRBO homes we have rented!

Great stay!!

We loved our stay! Literally everything was great - having our own pool for our 3 year old and 7 year old was the best! We visited several different beaches on our trip - nothing was more than 20 minutes away. Great restaurants and ice cream close by as well. T.J responded quickly with any questions and was super helpful. I would highly recommend staying at this location - especially if you have a car and kids that enjoy the pool more than the beach. Zero complaints and we would stay again if we make the trip back to Sarasota!

Perfect Family Getaway

We had a wonderful week long stay with our two little kids (5 and 2). The location was fabulous. We were close to the beaches and restaurants and close to many grocery and convenience stores. We didn’t have to spend much time traveling from one place to another and back to the house. The house it self was very comfortable and the owners made it feel so homey. Husband and I kept talking about how at home we felt. The accommodations for the kids was wonderful. They enjoyed playing with toys and having their own space for sleeping, including a pack n play for our little guy. We hope to book again in the future!

Best VRBO rental so far!

We’ve been using VRBO in the Sarasota area for the last 5 years, and this house is my favorite! Felt like home. The location was very centrally located in a quiet neighborhood and the house was well equipped and comfortable. We had a few glitches with the pool at first, but TJ was very responsive and the problem was resolved very quickly and the crystal clear pool was the best! Thank you also to Emily, the house owner, who reached out to us to express her concern about the pool issues. Highly recommended! Hoping it will be available for us to rent in the future!

Perfect for a traveling family!

The home was clean, stocked with all the towels, and pool towels you could need, as well as laundry soap, detergent, and a closet FULL of rainy day/kid friendly activities. A beach cart stocked with toys, an umbrella made adventures a breeze. The few minor inconveniences we had were promptly handled by the property manager. Ex: Door code incorrect when sent through VRBO, TV screen half black (happens after not being on in a while), AC not cooling (changed ecobee sensor batteries and it was perfect). This is the first rental home we have booked where the space was truly as pictured, if not better than pictures. The layout provided two families with space, as well as plenty of room to relax together. I’m so glad we booked this home!

relaxing month in nice neighborhood

We are two seniors who love to bike. We could access the wonderful Legacy Trail from the house. The house is well stocked with kitchen supplies, paper goods, toys, books, and large tv. The pool is heated but we preferred it not to be, and that was accommodated.It is maintained beautifully. Nice lighting throughout the house. Although it is very close to the main busy roads, the actual house is situated in a nice walkable neighborhood. The only glitches: we were given the incorrect key access code, so it took about a half hour to get into the house. The refrigerator water filtration system and ice maker were inoperable. Although the hanging seat hammock looks inviting, the cushion needs a serious cleaning. Otherwise, it is a highly recommendable place to stay.

Amazing Stay

This property is absolutely perfect. It was me, my husband and our 5 kids (infant, 2,3,8,9). To say this house is kid friendly is an understatement. There are toys, floaties, highchair, packnplay, pool fence, fenced backyard and more. Honestly we loved the property and the pictures does not do its justice. We had a little trouble and the host took care of it right away. Only suggestion is the house needs a deep clean and better cooking pans (vents,baseboards,light fixtures). Other than that we absolutely loved jt.

quant gem located near everything

This was the BEST VRBO and overall vacation experience we have had to date. The property is just as listed and a wonderful getaway from the hustle and bustle that is inevitable in tourist areas. A very short drive to the beach and TONS of shopping and food nearby. The neighborhood was quiet and adorable! The pool and back yard area was perfect for a family! All the adults and kids had a great time!

Very nice home in Sarasota

We just spent 6 days here, and everything was fine. (We arrived only a few days after the negative review about weeds, etc, was posted - we saw none of those problems.) We had a problem with a light fixture, and they were out the next morning to fix it. We spent lots of time in or near the pool, a great place to be. The kitchen was well equipped. No complaints!

Nice home by needs help

Inside the home was beautiful and accomodating amd as described. However the pool, patio and yard need a lot of TLC. The pool tiles were falling off the side walls, bare metal exposed on the light that did not work, weeds overgrown, dead plants and much needed yard work.

Lovely

Property was even better than photos, clean, light, airy, soothing decor. Quiet, convenient (for my itinerary) location and host was very prompt and accommodating, letting me check out late since I had an evening flight and didn't want to be aimlessly wandering around town all day. Helpful guidebook with local activities and restaurant menus. Property felt peaceful and private even though everything I needed was nearby, highly recommend!

This home is wonderful! It was located in a quiet neighborhood close to the beaches. It has been newly renovated and is beautiful inside and out. There are many comforts from home to include toys for the littles, fuzzy couch blankets, too many things to name! You will not regret choosing this home!

Family getaway

House was perfect for our family, kids loved starting and ending the day in the pool, and filled in The rest of the day at the beach. Local restaurants were great for takeout, there was a lot in short driving distance. Beach was about a 15 minute drive, the house had everything we needed for a full day at the beach (beach wheels, cooler, towels, toys). House was very clean and on a quiet street.

Wonderful week in sunny Sarasota

T.J.’s house is comfortable, convenient and offers lots of fun activities. The covered pool is a huge hit, along with pool floats and toys. For the beach there are plenty of beach chairs, a cooler , beach toys and even a beach cart to carry it all. T.T. Was responsive and fixed the washer which wasn’t working properly. We had a very good time in this property! Highly recommended!
