This was our 4th time staying at this house. We absolutely love it!!!! It's just like being at home. Everything you could possibly need is provided by the hosts. My family is already planning to go back in December. Thank you so much Jason and Johanna.
Home was very clean in a quiet neighborhood, close to shopping and a short drive to the beach. Home was very comfortable and my grandkids enjoyed the pool very much.
Being so close to airport made it easy to pick up and drop off family. Closeness to stores and restaurants was convenient. Home being on call Desac made the stay feel secluded.
We need a place to stay that was close to where our daughter was playing soccer and also the beach…perfect location. We were 20-30 minutes to everything.
What a great house. The place was immaculate, very organized and had everything you needed. They had a cooler, beach chairs, an umbrella beach towels. Also everything you needed in the kitchen.The location is perfect 10 mins to airport. Half hour to Anna Maria Island, half hour to Siesta Key. Beaches are beautiful. Loved hanging out by the pool. I highly recommend this house I would do it again in a heartbeat also very close to restaurants and grocery store. The host was friendly and answered my messages quickly. Cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed ourselves at this house.
This was hands down our best vacation ever!!! The booking and communication with the property owners was super easy. Great response time and super flexible. The house is BEAUTIFUL inside and out. Super cozy feel with modern appliances. The decor is superb. The pool was perfect. Well maintained and big enough for all of us to have fun. I cannot put enough emphasis on how great this whole experience was. Great community, close to beaches, attractions, and downtown. Not if but when we ever come back to Florida this will be our first and only choice of where to stay!!!
Thank you Joanna and Jason! Stayed here 3 nights with Mom and Sis! Your home was cute and comfortable! All cupboards and closets are accurately labeled and include everything you need! The heated pool was perfect for a nice dip!
A dresser in the 3rd bedroom would have been nice, and some of the furniture was a little dated, but overall we had a wonderful vacation weekend here!
Nice home in a quiet neighborhood! Location was great - easy drive to shopping and beaches. Heated pool was awesome - perfect size to relax when it was just 2 of us - yet plenty of room for the grandkids to play! Host was quick to respond to any questions/concerns.
This home is located on a quiet cut de sac, close to just about everything. Owners are very responsive, the house is decently stocked with dishes, spices etc. Pool is considered to be small by some other reviewers, but we were pleased with it. Suits its purpose. Would rent again.

The house is spacious and in a good neighborhood close to all Sarasota has to offer. My mom said it was the best vacation house she had ever visited and she is very picky. So nice for a larger group with a large common area and plenty of private space too.
A super clean 3br/2ba with a pool that met all our needs
The house was super clean, had a great layout with lots of light and high ceilings in the main living space, a well appointed kitchen, and a small but refreshing pool. We were in town for our daughter's rowing regatta, and the location was equidistant from the beaches and the racing venue. it's in a nice neighborhood and the hosts were great.
Great place to enjoy your family and friends. It’s Warm, comfortable and inviting. We enjoyed ourselves by the pool. The hosts are gracious and attentive. It’s very well maintained. Lovely
The house is even better in reality. It is clean, decorated well, and the attention to detail is thoughtful. Thank you Jason and Joanna for sharing your home! We loved our week and hopefully will be back in the future! 💗

Lovely home, nice location, needs some minor repairs
Nice home pool was great when working. Pool and yard maintenance crews where great. Cleaning crew suspect. Neighbors where great.
This was my second time using this property to stay in Sarasota. It is a wonderful place to stay. Owners are very responsive to any question and concerns. Well maintained property. This will always be my first choice when traveling to Sarasota.
Everything was as describe, great location, good neighborhood, great customer service owners reply to every email or text message that send. Overall great stay.
This was a very clean, well stocked 3 bedroom house. The furniture and bed were very comfortable. The layout would be perfect for a family or larger group.
We felt safe in this neighborhood. The house is a smart house so it announces every time a door or window was opened and it also controls the temperature. We found it annoying but I can see why an owner would like that information..
We rented this place strictly for the pool but the water was at 64 degrees and not suitable for swimming. We were disappointed by this miscommunication.
We felt at home right away! Guest friendly, wished it would have been a little warmer outside so we could have used the pool more! The couple of days we could use it were enjoyable! We had a lot of our meals at the house which was a money saver and relaxing! We would recommend this place!
This was the 2nd time during 2021 we stayed at this house. I absolutely love it !!
Property is well kept. Owners are extremely nice and easy to work with. House has everything you could possibly need.

Guests can spend the days at the beaches and come to our home to enjoy a relaxing swim in the pool and a home cooed meal. There are many restaurants in the area as well as cultural opportunities.
