The house is very clean and nicely updated. It’s close to everything you would need or want. Short drive over to Siesta and you get to avoid all the foot/vehicle traffic.

Overall great place

The house was very clean and comfortable for our group of 9 including an infant. Location was great and the hosts were attentive and communicative. The only set back was that the dishwasher was broken during our stay.

Such a comfortable home

Reni and Dom are super hosts- and that is a perfect way to describe them. They are friendly and generous with their time and advice. The house at 1635 Siesta Drive is well appointed and well equipped. It is a short drive to the beautiful Siesta Beach and is equally accessible to all that downtown Sarasota offers.

Ladies having fun!

There was a little glitch with the plumbing, but Dominic and his wife were on it immediately. The home was clean, neat, convenient to all shopping and most of all we felt safe. I was fortunate to meet Dominic and his wife and this young couple make me feel there is a successful country in our future.

Stunning Sarasota Home

The home has recently been updated and every detail had been thought out. The home is absolutely beautiful! We all had plenty of room to spread out and enjoy our time there. The appliances were all new and made meal prep. easy for us. We were in town for a swim meet and we were exactly between the pool facility and the beach. The owners are easy to contact and were genuine in giving us recommendations of places to visit and eat and shop. The are wonderful hosts! If we are in town next year for this meet, we will be resaving this home again! If you are undecided about where to stay; stay here.

Exceptional home in an incredible location

First of all Dominick is a great host and made sure the check in process felt like you were just going “home” what a great way to start off the vacation.. the home is way bigger than it appears… the home is modern fresh and extremely spacious…the wrap around driveway makes it extremely easy to exit onto the street.. the neighborhood is exceptional.. my wife and I went on a morning walk each morning and it was amazing.. the location is an extremely easy drive to siesta beach as well as to lido key which is where the second St. Armand’s circle is… its a 10 minute drive to each and it made the Sarasota experience that much better..there are grocery stores and great restaurants within 1 to 5 minutes of the home.. so easy to buy groceries as well as staying in the neighborhood to go to great restaurants… visit the casa masa taco restaurant 2 minutes away … THE MOST incredible tacos !! I had my wife and 3 kids on the trip 19 14 and 13 years old … never bumping into each other in the home… select this home immediately if available

My husband and I were extremely impressed with this property. It was beautifully decorated, very clean, and provided us with everything we needed both inside the home as well as everything needed for the beach. It is centrally located which made visiting beaches as well as other areas of interest quite accessible. We would rent again!

Perfect Home for a Laid Back Getaway

This home in Sarasota is modern, cozy and clean. It was a perfect transition and we felt right at home. The hosts made sure to check in on us and were available if needed to accommodate us. This home has everything needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Family friendly environment and has all the toys/equipment needed for the beach and grilling. Definitely would recommend and looking forward to coming back!
