This house is the ultimate for a group get away. Glyniss, the property manager, is fantastic and very helpful. From the pool, to the cabana, to the water front house you wonā€™t need anything except food and clothes! This was our second year at this property and we cannot wait to visit again.

The perfect rental house.

We just checked out of the property this morning and I would already like to make another reservation. We had 4 siblings and spouses. There is not one thing that you will need except your own clothes! The house was fully furnished with everything, and then some! From the welcome basket to the excellent property manager it was outstanding. The layout is perfect for everything from start to finish. I would highly recommend it to everyone.

Our stay at this particular rental was the best overall of any place we have ever stayed. 10 minute drive to Siesta Key beach, exceptional pool and outside patio area just outside sliding doors, 4 bedroom with all king size beds, 4 bathrooms all with walk-in showers, large kitchen and living areas and I could go on and on.. You are not likely to be disappointed with this rental in anyway. Our hostess, Glynis was quick to respond to any all questions I had at different times day or night.

Spring Break with family of 8

This property was PERFECT for our group of 8... my wife and I, four of our sons and two of our daughters in law. Four distinct suites provided ample privacy, and amazing community space - indoors and outdoors - provided memories galore. Overlooking the Phillipi Creek, it was a perfect balance of privacy/isolation and close enough to everything we needed. From Publix two blocks down to the Phillipi Creek Oyster Bar (a 5-minute walk) to the Forbidden Tiki Room speakeasy (even closer) to the beautiful beaches of Siesta Key, the location was perfect. The property is every bit as gorgeous as the pictures in the listing. Book with confidence. We definitely will be back!

Delightful retreat with a 10 minute drive to the beach

We spent thanksgiving week here with both sets of grandparents and our toddler son, it was everything we could hope for! All four bedrooms have a king bed and own bathroom, which for a family and different sleep schedules is a huge bonus. The view is lovely, pool is very relaxing, and you can get a quick online fishing license and do some fishing of the dock, we got caught a decent sized jack!! Our family in the area had a boat and was able to come pick us up for a ride, which was pretty nice feature as well :) Also, Phillipe creek oyster bar is a good option for food, and is just across the waterway. We loved our stay and would absolutely come back. Glynis ensures our happiness and was quick to reply to any question we had. Highly recommended!

Beautiful House & Location

House was absolutely beautiful & the location was perfect. Our Host Glynis was sensational. Very accommodating & quick to respond. The Bedrooms were spacious & all had their separate bathrooms. The swimming pool was absolutely beautiful overlooking the water. I can say we experienced our first Hurricane, and we were very fortunate that the path of the Hurricane shifted NW of Sarasota. We could only chuckle....lol. Glynis was on top of her game keeping us posted throughout the ordeal. Would highly recommend booking this property.

Great pool area

This house suited our needs nicely! Great pool area and plenty of space indoors for everyone to spread out. The house is older but has been remodeled nicely. One of the bedrooms has a wall with plaster patches on itā€¦just needs to be painted. The pool table indoors was a huge hit and well as the covered porch with tv outside. We really liked being close to restaurants and the beach. Two things that were not mentioned in the listing or in other reviews: This is the first house in neighborhood off very busy road and thus the road noise is loud when sitting outside. Also the heating of the pool is not included in priceā€¦it is $250 for the week.
