This home was the perfect venue for our extended family vacation. There were multiple living areas that enabled everyone to spread out, although we spent a lot of time in the kitchen and enjoying the expansive deck and pool area.

Holidays on the Bay

We stayed here between Christmas and NYE while visiting my brother’s family who live in Sarasota. The location couldn’t have been better. The host is excellent with communication and tips. The layout was perfect for multiple families. The large patio/deck and heated pool were a huge hit and of course the views were gorgeous! We even got to watch the latest SpaceX launch from afar from the front patio. Great experience at this property. Will definitely use again.

Great house for families!! We had 9 adults and 3 kids and had plenty of room. The dock and sea wall worked well for tying off the boat. So bring the family and the boat and enjoy!!
