The house had everything my family of five needed for a great week-long stay in Sarasota. The whole family enjoyed the layout, inside and out. Will stay again!

James, hope you had a great stay! Thanks for coming!
This property was so perfectly located to Siesta Key Beach. There was so much around us that we never needed to travel far for any of our needs. The home was very well kept up, and we had a great view of a canal in the backyard. We became friends with a few of Florida’s beautiful wildlife. Enjoyed every second of our stay. Thank you for all the great memories.

Very nice stay, house was in great shape, pool was awesome with great atmosphere, had a blast!
On first arrival we found the floors to be a little dirty, but that may have just been the concrete floors. Everything else was in great shape. The pool area was awesome and we spent most afternoons/evenings out there. If not for the red tide we would have had an amazing time (of course that's no fault of the property). Loved the scenic yard/pond behind the pool. Great access to everything you want in the area. Traveled up to St. Pete for clean beaches a few times and drive was only about an hour. Overall one of the best vacations my family has been on. Thank you!

Bad start that got better
Got to the original house I booked to find water leaks across the floor and the house wasn't as nice as I thought from the pictures. Contacted management and was moved to another house that was on my list originally and was much better.

Underwhelming property
The online pictures give the impression of a nicer house, it's ok but not above average. The house needs some serious upgrading in the kitchen, the pots and pans are non stick variety and are used and abused so we wouldn't even use them for fear of leaching while cooking. The pool area is very nice but once you step outside it needs a serious clean up and maintenance done, it obviously hasn't happened recently judging by the trash in the yard and the condition of the plantings. The house itself is in a convenient location but needs some serious TLC inside and out and some detail work all around for the cost of the rental.

First impressions are everything ! Pool was dirty and cold
Called host immediately and pool guy was there within the hour which was great
Location was close to Publix etc and siesta key but neighborhood was working class
But on pos side was quiet
Owner needs to spend some $ on basics !
On our opinion he has let it go
We were terribly disappointed on arrival but got used to ot

Hi, Thank you for your review! The pool got a little green due to phosphate in city water, which could turn it green pretty quickly, within hours. The pool was cleaned right away, as you said. You are always welcome to tell us if you need something and we will bring it to you.

Cleanliness and condition of property
Pictures are deceiving. Yard in need of TLC. Fake plants. Soffit hanging, outside of house dirty, moldy, windows filthy. Inside house, freezer frosted over, no ice, tub and shower floors ( finish coming off ), many light bulbs need replaced, one lamp not plugged in. Twin beds very uncomfortable! Walls patched but not painted. Stool would not stop running until handle was lifted up. Just to much to mention. Tile coming off in pool. Over priced! Three other people agreed.
The pictures on vrbo made the house look nicer than it was. TV in bedroom did not work. There were no instructions for how to work the remotes for the TVs. We had to play around with them for a while to view the only TV that did work in the living room. The pool filters did not work. Nothing was running for the pool for the first four days. When the people that came to clean the pool on day five of our stay they contacted someone about it. A Sasha called us and said someone would be coming to fix it either that day or the next day. I told her we were leaving the next day. I asked if it was safe to still go in the pool even though it wasn’t running and she said yes. Allin
The best was floating on my back, looking up at that sky, a pair of birds doing a mating dance above my head, lush native flora and fauna all around. The pool is magical. Great communication with the owner and just great solid clean cozy vibes all around. Want to come back.
House was as listed. We had no problems and enjoyed our time. The house is a little outdated and needs updates but nothing that interferes with a good stay. A few houses in the neighborhood had us question the area. However it seems like a nice area still…convenient to beaches etc.
We picked this property for the pool and the proximity to my parent’s house in the same neighborhood. We know the homes in this neighborhood are older so we didn’t mind the aspects of the house that haven’t been remodeled. We enjoyed our stay.
Had an absolutely wonderful time at your house. Everything was perfect with no issues at all. Great location, wonderful property and pool was fantastic. Just what the doctor ordered. Wish we could've stayed longer but work got in the way. LOL Thanks again for a great vacation!
We enjoyed our stay very much, property was excellent , no complaints. If we come back we would like to rent the property again. Great location and very quiete neighborhood. Back yard is a little retreat. Thank you for everything!
We stayed for 4 days and it was great! House had everything we needed including beach towels, chairs and a cooler. It also had a fantastic warm pool and a barbecue grill. Nice washer & dryer too. Plenty of wildlife with turtles and large birds that roamed around the backyard. The landscaping is so beautiful. It is also close to beaches and fun places to go!!! I will definitely stay here again & hopefully soon!

Unfortunately we cannot recommend this property
On first approaching the house the neighborhood was not what we had expected and looked a little shabby in areas.
We had requested from the manager to have an early checkin. She had replied to our first request that we could if there was no one in the property previously and asked that we contact her nearer the time. We did this but did not receive a reply.
We arrived 3 hrs. early but could not open the front door. We walked around the back and found the pool area looked very much in need of some paint and although had some newer furniture there was also a very old high table and chairs. We left to find somewhere to eat and contacted the manager who did get back to us quickly to let us know how to get in. On entering the property we were very disappointed to find the house very old and tired. Although some new furniture was in place the original terraza floors in the house were in a terrible state, huge cracks, holes, very discoloured areas. There was a large but very worn looking rug in the living room, the bath mats and the sheets looked old.
The kitchen also looked very old and tired. The manager did respond quickly, had the rug removed and replaced the sheets and bath mats. The next morning we contacted the manager because of the state of the beds we had slept in. They were in very poor shape and the noise they made every time we turned over or got into or out of bed was unbelievable!
The manager said she would come over to see what we were talking about. She arrived with her maintenance man who diagnosed broken springs in the mattresses. She was very surprised because she said the beds were only a year old.
She suggested we sleep on other beds. I explained to her our family was arriving that evening which was why we had booked a 3 bedroom home. She suggested we sleep in the living room on the sofa bed. The house is only capable of sleeping 6 people including the living room.
Although she did replace the 2 mattresses quickly we contacted her once again the following morning to say the problem had not been solved she tried to blame it on us saying we had insisted the mattresses be replaced and we were still not satisfied. She sent the maintenance man once again to see if he could tighten the bases in some way. We had to contact her again to let her know the problem had not been solved. No reply. The next day after a very bad nights sleep we contacted her again and no reply.

Why they chose this property
Why You’ll Love the Gulf Gate Neighborhood The Gateway to Siesta Key Gulf Gate is famous for being the "gateway" to the world-renowned white sands of Siesta Key Beach. You are just a quick 5-minute drive (or a breezy bike ride) over the bridge to the shoreline, allowing you to beat the beach traffic while staying in a peaceful, private community. One of the rarest features in Sarasota is walkability, and Gulf Gate has it. The "Gulf Gate Village" is a charming collection of several blocks packed with: Diverse Dining: Everything from authentic Italian and gourmet sushi to the best tacos and delis in town. Local Nightlife: Cozy pubs, craft beer taprooms, and late-night spots that give the neighborhood a fun, energetic soul. Boutique Shopping: Quirky gift shops, vintage finds, and local bakeries are all right around the corner. You don’t have to travel far for the essentials. You are walking distance or a 2-minute drive to Sarasota Square Mall, Publix, Costco, and a variety of fitness centers. Whether you’re looking for a formal dinner or a quick grocery run, everything is within a mile of your front door. While the village is vibrant and "happening," the streets where the homes sit (like yours!) are incredibly quiet, safe, and family-friendly. It’s a neighborhood where people walk their dogs and wave to neighbors—a true slice of the "Old Florida" lifestyle with a modern, trendy twist.
