This was our first experience as a VRBO user. We knew that the home we selected would either make or break future bookings. We were definitely a little nervous. This home is located in a modest neighbourhood, but don't let that fool you. We opened the door to a beautifully decorated, exceptionally clean, and manicured property with every necessity of home provided. The kitchen is stocked with spices, cooking utensils, large and small appliances, and tasteful dish and cookware. The house has been thoughtfully designed to easily accommodate 2 families (or up to 8 people), while preserving both privacy and communal living areas. The home is stocked with every convenience: beach chairs and towels, a portable umbrella, coolers, shampoo, board games, books, and laundry soap (to name a few). We enjoyed sitting on the patio in a private yard in this quiet neighbourhood. The convenience to grocery and drug stores, golf courses, the ball diamond, stores, and of course, various beaches cannot be understated. We easily accessed the downtown area, the Ellenton outlet mall, and nearby Venice. It was the location of this lovely home, in addition to its stunning decor, attention to detail, comfort, and cleanliness that has solidified our intent to either rent this Sarasota beauty again, or others like it in other places. The bar has been set!
