Our second time staying here, and it’s always a pleasure! The property is clean, comfortable, and conveniently located. The host consistently checks in during our stay to make sure everything is going well and is always quick to respond if anything comes up. We truly appreciate the excellent communication and hospitality. We would definitely stay here again!

Thank you for your review! We are so happy that you enjoyed the home and your stay in Sarasota. We try to make it as easy and enjoyable as possible for our guests. Communication is key! We hope to see you again for a future stay!
Perfect location central to a slew of things we were looking to do. Host was communicative and helpful and the property was spacious, well equipped, and clean.
Our stay was excellent. Pool was very clean and nice. Only small issue was the glass door to the pool was very hrsd to open st times. Where the house was located was very accessible to highways and visiting spots. Loved it! Enjoyed the time with family and friends. Highly recommended! The hosts were very positive and helpful, and communicated with us as needed. 5 stars
stayed and explored sarasotta while staying at a place locared between many popular beaches. house stocked with games, pools toys, and basic kitchen supplies so it was a great place to bring kids home to after days of exploring.
We really enjoyed our stay. The pool was so nice to have!! There were a couple of issues (that evidently the owner wasn't aware of as there is a management company that hadn't told him about). He stopped in to drop off something we had requested and asked to see the issues. We left a day early, he texted to say that he was spending the day at the house to fix a couple of things. Very nice man, pleasant to talk to! Our dog really enjoyed playing in the yard. Everything we needed was there (except coffee, fortunately we had taken our own!).
We loved our week long say in this location. The house was centrally located, well stocked, and had great amenities. The pool was fantastic, and having the washer and dryer was a wonderful boon while travelling.
We had a very nice time relaxing by the pool and cooking out. Our dog had the run of the backyard which was great. Our host Robert was very attentive and helpful. The only thing was the sliding door it was a beast. We were very near beaches bars and grocery.
We had a very nice weekend in this home in Sarasota. The beds were comfortable and everything was clean. The only things keeping from being a 5 star property are that it was right by the airport, so planes were continually flying over and the 1/2 ply toilet paper. Otherwise, it’s a wonderful home and the pool was fabulous!
I was extremely impressed with the communication of the owners. Especially, during the hurricane. The house has a 70’s vibe to it and we absolutely loved it. Definitely a place I would stay again.
The location was awesome, so close to so many great beaches and restaurants, the pool was used everyday, loved the outdoor space. The inside was nice but the beds were not comfortable, I think the mattresses need replaced. The space was nice for us, the owner was very responsive with the few issues we ran into.
We really enjoyed our stay in this cute retro home! It was only my husband and I but I can see the house is set up for a full family experience. Great place.
The House was exactly what we hoped for and expected. Nicely appointed, great Pool and backyard. Only true issue was the heaviness and inconvenience the sliding glass door to the patio is. Clearly too heavy, not easily sliding…Get an option to allow it to be open (hanging screen panels) you can walk in and out through to allow for the door to be kept open. Otherwise, amazing place. Love the communal items left for use in kitchen. We purchased and “paid forward” a Baking sheet and oven mits. Owners were very communicative and available. All was good, just fix the slider. Thanks again.-Michael & Danielle.
This home was exactly what we were looking for. Enough space for my family of 4. We loved the back patio, think we spent the majority of our time sitting by the pool, kids swam all day, every day. Kitchen was adequately stocked. Information in home was well labeled and we appreciated the restaurant recommendations in the guest book.
We had the best time spending the weekend at this house. The house was clean and very well taken care of. We arrived to a welcome basket that was so sweet. The house is close to many restaurants and activities. We enjoyed the most relaxing few days! I will definitely recommend to others. Thank you!
