Great experience

We had a fabulous time in Sarasota. If any of your clients need a place on the west coast of Florida I highly recommend it. The house ended up being great and convenient to everywhere we needed to be. And siesta key beach (which we went to a lot)

Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy
This rancher is massive with several sitting areas. It was very clean. However, with the exception of the microwave and oven as well as the flooring it is very dated. My biggest concern is the bed in the master bedroom. It is three foot high. I am very agile still for an 80 year old and could get onto the bed. However, anyone shorter or in lesser physical condition would find it very difficult. Also, the linens and the pillows need to be replaced.

There are 4 beds, one is a pullout bed in the lanai. I wish you would’ve asked me! I did provide updated wifi information for you. When you didn’t respond to my last message, I figured you had everything sorted.

Great location for a Nathan Benderson Park Regatta

The property was as described when we arrived. The door lock code worked and the garage door opener was a real convenience. All rooms were very clean including bathrooms, bedrooms and living areas. A short drive to the beach, jet ski rentals, the regatta and many other points of interest in the Sarasota FL Area. Washing Machine and kitchen appliances were also a plus. Thanks for a great stay.

Excellent stay

It was very spacious - bigger than we were expecting, and extremely clean. Also pretty well equipped. Just a couple of issues. The street was quite busy and it could be noisy. It wasn't a deal breaker but worth mentioning. Also, it was January and overnight lows 40-45. The heating was very effective in the eating/living area, but the bedrooms could be chilly.

Webber house

This house is very clean in an awesome location and has space galore! The owner was awesome and was always responsive to my questions. Webber St. is a busy street and has some traffic noise but nothing too concerning. The beds are very comfy. The house has a huge garage for parking which was nice. There is a table and chairs outside but not really a patio to sit on, so if you are looking to sit outside, the yard isn't really set up for that. Landscaping could use some TLC. Overall, we had a very good experience staying here and the location you just can't beat! 10- 15 minutes to the #1 beach in the world!

Sarasota winter

I visited for three weeks to escape from the WI winter. The weather was ideal with mostly sunny days in the 70s. The house is wonderful, Everything is provided and everything is comfortable. It’s especially well provided if you want to go to nearby beaches. It’s great to have a garage and easily accessible washer and dryer. It’s about 10 min from most activities and sites in Sarasota proper and 15 min from Siesta Key. Very well situated to groceries, pharmacies, restaurants and a book store. Consider the MOTE, Myakka Preserve and Shelby Botanical Gardens as well as the neighborhood walk to Arlington Park. Carrie, the landlady, is very prompt in her responses .

Perfect Sarasota Rental!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this property and its owner, Carrie Pappas. The house is fantastic - exactly as in the photos - clean, spacious, tastefully furnushed and decorated. The kitchen is great and stocked with everything that you would need. But more than that, everything is exceptionally clean and nice. The coffee mugs, plates, bowls, utensils - you would want the same in your own home. The two bedrooms are big and the beds and linens are so comfortable. And tons of closets and hangers. The two bathrooms are great and the water pressure is great. The living room has a big screen TV with many channels - easy to use. The WiFi is great. Beyond all of that - Carrie is great! Very responsive and helpful. When it looked like our flight might get canceled due to bad weather back in NYC, Carrie went out of her way to make sure that we were okay and assured us that we could come back to the house if we needed to. I highly recommend this property if you need a place in Sarasota! We will be back again and again when we visit Sarasota!
