We were incredibly fortunate to make a last-minute booking at this Sarasota property hosted by Dawn, where we truly "Lived like happy & relaxed locals" as the listing headline suggested would be the case!!! Communication with Dawn was the best we've ever experienced at a vacation rental - prior to and during the stay, as well as after departure. The property has a very appealing exterior and we enjoyed sitting on the front porch rockers taking in the view of the nice quiet neighborhood. The interior was immaculately clean and the layout, furniture, and furnishings were exactly as shown in the listing description and photos - and Dawn clearly has a great eye for design. The living/dining area was well appointed, the kitchen was well outfitted and included some goodies to get us started, the beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms/showers were just right. On top of all that, the screened-in porch was so comfy and airy that it was surpassed only by the huge fenced-in backyard - which was perfect for our pup!!! This property is (as described in the listing) "easy, comfortable, and welcoming" and deserving of 5-stars, as were all of our communications with the Host. All three of us (Keith, Mary & Thyme) enjoyed our stay so much that we're already talking to Dawn about another, longer "happy & relaxed" stay.
