The house was really nice and pool area was gorgeous. Lido beach was a quick 10 minute drive away. There were many shops and grocery stores within 5 minutes of the property so we got to spend more time enjoying our vacation!

Family Vacay

Our stay was amazing. Everything worked as it should. We spent a couple hours each night playing games. The pool was amazing and we went swimming all the time. The location is great everything we needed was within a couple of miles. The host's are great and very helpful if you are in need of anything. The beach is about a 10 minute drive to Lido.

Excellence at its finest!

This home was absolutely perfect for our family of 7. We had a graduate from Ringling college and the proximity to her was perfect! The owners/Host go above and beyond to make sure your stay is a most memorable one. The pool is clean and inviting, kitchen is equipped with all you need. We were within a 10 minute drive to N. Lido beach which offers public parking. House had bath, pool and beach towels provided also a bin with noodles, boogie boards and beach toys. The screened front porch was thoroughly enjoyed, especially for morning coffee. We were sad to leave this home that we had the privilege of making ours for one week. We cant wait to come back!!! Thank you for providing the perfect space for us to make unforgettable memories!

Awesome stay for family of 5

Our family of 5 had a wonderful stay. The bedrooms & bathrooms are spacious, the main living room is cozy/functional. Our kids really enjoyed the bunk room. We loved the pool and the backyard area. The location is awesome - a quick drive to our favorite spot Lido Beach, close to docks/boat ramps for fishing, close to the grocery store and great restaurants. The hosts were inviting/friendly & available/responsive if we had any needs. We would love to come back to stay again in the future :)

Best Vacation Ever

Gabby and John are very nice and welcoming people and are the absolute best. The place was very nice and clean very home like with very friendly and quiet neighborhood. Access to beaches was very close and this being the first time my kids had been to the beach and they absolutely loved it. My husband and John reconnected after all these years from being out of the army and he was ecstatic to see his brother again. I would absolutely recommend anyone that wanted a family oriented getaway to stay at there place. Thank you John and Gabby for everything I am so glad we came there to vacation and it def won’t be the last!

Gabby and John are great host! Answered all of our questions and concerns in a timely manner.The house was great had a lot of amenities. We loved the heated saltwater pool. Close to the beach and restaurants. Rode our bikes downtown and to the beach. We had our dogs and found very nice dog park in Gillespie park not far from the house. We had wonderful time and would consider staying in your place again.

Great house

We were a multi generational family making a trip to visit extended family. Property is as described. We had two small dogs and the fenced in backyard was perfect. Pool was awesome and was enjoyed daily. Beds are comfortable and the house had all the appliances you would need. Screen in front porch was a bonus and enjoyed early in the AM while having our coffee.

Great fit for our family

The house and pool matched the listed description. It was perfect for our family. We stayed for a month, working remotely and had our adult kids join on weekends. Although most activities nearby aren’t reachable on foot, beaches and restaurants are a short car ride away (downtown-10 minutes, 15 min to Lido Key beach, 20-25 min to Siesta Key beach). We had our dog with us and appreciated the fenced yard and screened in porch. Enjoyed the owners, John/Gaby who were great-always responsive when we brought issues to their attention. We’ll be returning.

Wonderful

This was such a nice place to stay! Extremely clean, with all the amenities needed. A few major spices, enough dishes, pots and pans, silverware, beach chairs and umbrellas, etc. Washer and dryer equipped with laundry detergent. Enjoyed the shampoo and shower gel provided. Enough toilet paper, papertowels, dish soap, garbage bags were provided. The pool was very nice, and I loved the fenced in back yard, as we could let our dog have freedom to roam. The screened in front porch was fabulous, as this is where we had coffee every morning, and got to watch the squirrels torment and tease our dog-lol. The air-conditioning worked very well, and cooled off the house quite quickly. The check in process was great, as John met us almost immediately as we pulled in and gave us a tour or the house and backyard. We really did not need to contact the owners for anything, as we did not encounter any problems or needed anything, although when I did need to contact them prior to arrival, I never had any problems. The beaches were a very close drive and no problems finding them. We walked to a couple of places, with one place being about a 12-15 minute walk, and downtown being a 30 minute walk. Whenever we walked, I always felt safe. We would give this place an absolute thumbs up and recommend to anyone. Thank you John and Gabby for sharing your home with us! We really enjoyed our stay!!

About the host

Hosted by Gabrielle Hoover

We are traveling musicians that live on a detached converted apartment on site. We are world travelers that remain out of site and separated from the home by a fence. Often we are gone traveling or on tour or playing somewhere regionally. Gabby the guitarist works from home in marketing for the Titanic exhibits. John the mandolin player works on songwriting and managing the property.

Why they chose this property

This property is taken care of and is constantly being upgraded between rentals for aesthetic appeal and for guest privacy and enjoyment. We work to create a comfortable space where vacationers can relax with family and friends for time in the house as well as the many nearby attractions. We live for the ocean as sailors, swimmers, and fishers. Being from land-locked origins, we both have the sea in our hearts and want to share the feeling we both get from the area and what it has to offer. Come stay and find out why we are highly booked and reviewed on several rental sites.

What makes this property unique

Pool, sleeps 4-6 adults and/or 4 kids and two pull-out couches. Close to beaches and city for family or singles activities. Many restaurants are close by. Biking trail all the way to the gorgeous Lido beach.
