Beautiful pool home located in a safe and quiet neighborhood of Country Oaks. This comfortable private home is located just 4 miles from the University Town Center Mall which is great for shopping and upscale restaurants in addition to the new Mote Marine Aquarium-a family favorite! The Sarasota/Bradenton airport is only 10 minutes away (4.4 miles) and downtown Sarasota is 17 minutes (6.6 miles). There is a Publix grocery store on University Parkway that is 5 minutes away (1.5 miles) and a Walmart Super Center that is just 3 minutes away (1.3 miles) to stock up on snacks, drinks and food items or last-minute items you forgot to pack for the trip. No trip to Sarasota would be complete without going to one of the world-class beaches nearby. Siesta Key Beach is a 28-minute drive (13.6 miles) or Lido Beach is 22 minutes (10.8). Check out St Armands Circle near Lido beach for additional shopping and great restaurant choices. The home is located about 1 mile from the Conservatory Park which is a 55-acre site with a focus on outdoor and nature-based recreation. Great for a nice morning walk or jog while using the exercise stations along the paths. Enjoy a great day of golfing at the Palm Aire Country Club which is just 6 minutes away.

Check in was a breeze. We were sent directions on how to get into the house and it went flawlessly. When we had questions, the host replied in a timely manner. The house was exactly as advertised. It was clean and comfortable. It has everything you need (just like your own home). This was our first time renting through VRBO and it was wonderful. The pool and hot tub were fabulous. The slide was an extra bonus. My family loved the all aspects of the pool area. There is an outdoor 1/2 bath which was great to utilize while enjoying the pool and hot tub. It was as clean as the bathrooms inside the house.The property is in a great quiet area. It was close to grocery stores and restaurants. It was an easy drive to both downtown Sarasota and Siesta Key. We were a little concerned about how close the airport was, and plane noise. There was no an issue. The seven days we were there we only heard a handful of planes due to the weather pattern one day. (Honestly, we live about 40 miles from a major airport and we hear the planes every day).I recommend this property. You will not be disappointed!

We just had a nice week long stay in this house. It's in an older neighborhood, but everything was as advertised. The pool and spa were great. Everything worked as advertised. It was helpful to have beach towels and chairs and a cooler for a beach trip. Near UTC, 30 min from the beach, near golf courses.

Birthday visit

We were celebrating my mom’s birthday and needed a home and outdoor space that would comfortably accommodate our family. We selected this home because of the pool and surrounding deck space. The kids (and adult) enjoyed the pool, slide, waterfall and hot tub. The home had everything that we needed to relax and celebrate
