The house was a wonderful getaway. It was in a perfect location; only about a ten minute drive to the beach, St. Armand’s circle, and more. The house was in a quiet, safe location. The private pool was so fun to enjoy with our family. The patio was great for an evening meal in, and the game room was another fun option to have. The hosts were friendly and they replied to any inquiries immediately. Will stay here again!

Great stay in Sarasota

Really enjoyed our stay. The neighborhood was nice and quiet and centrally located to the various beaches and places we wanted to go. The house was welcoming, spacious and well stocked. The amenities were great too. We enjoyed relaxing in the pool after our days out and had fun with the games in the game room. We will be booking here again for our next trip.

Fantastic Stay

We had a group of family (4 adult couples) stay for a family reunion. The property more than accommodated our group comfortably and was perfect for our card playing (both inside and out in the screened porch). Many new memories were made. We had several questions upon check-in and the host was the most responsive I've ever had for a rental property. Great place.

Amazing girls trip stay

We just wrapped up our girls trip and we had an amazing time. Amazing amenities, top notch clean setup, max 10-15 min drive to almost all parts of Sarasota. It was perfect for our group of 8 but it would be equally perfect for families. The hosts were very prompt and easy to communicate with. We will definitely go back anytime and highly recommend to others. Thank you Paula and Roberto for everything!

Family Christmas Vacation in Sarasota

Our family enjoyed a 4 nights/5 days in southern Sarasota to ring in the New Year. Great home for little kids. Heated pool and game room. Kitchen is beautiful and very well equipped. We loved it and would recommend to anyone. Not being on the beach was something we sacrificed but the neighborhood is nice and there is a close park nearby. Wonderful restaurants in the area and Siesta Key has a gorgeous public beach.

Wonderful in every way! Not 5 star but 6 star accommodation.

This was the best Vrbo rental we have ever had. The owners’ attention to detail was evident with every possible need provided for. The pool was a good size and much enjoyed by all. The beach equipment and pool toys were greatly appreciated. The arcade games and all the others provided unlimited entertainment for all children - and those young at heart! Communication with the owners with questions was consistently quick and easy. We wished we could have stayed longer.

Expectations Exceeded From Beginning To End!

Even before we arrived, we knew that our hosts had gone to great lengths to ensure that we felt welcome and at home, and that our stay would be a memorable one. Before we arrived, they were kind enough to advise us that the previous guests had slightly damaged a door, but that it was still functional and that we wouldn't need to worry about being charged for it. Every inch of the house was immaculate. Our hosts left snacks and water, which was highly appreciated by us and our four teenagers. The game room was perfect for teens, and the adults enjoyed it too. The outdoor lanai was peaceful and relaxing, and the pool was clean and refreshing. The shampoo and conditioner in the showers were a great touch; all the luxuries you'd appreciate in a hotel, but you could enjoy them in the comfort of a house. The house had everything two families of four could possibly need, and it was still homey and inviting. We can't say enough about how attentive and responsive our hosts were. Next time we're in Sarasota, we would definitely love to rent here again!

About the host

Hosted by Paula and Roberto

Host profile image
Hi! We're your hosts, Paula & Roberto.
We live in New Jersey with our two kids and a dog that all share a mutual passion for traveling and experiencing new adventures. That passion is what brought us to Sarasota.
During our visit here, we fell in love with the beaches, the neighborhood, the restaurants, and the attractions. That led us to search for the perfect tropical escape where we could put down some roots so we could come back and visit. Inspired by "Arlington" take on sustainability, we decorated this home in the most sustainable way possible, using natural colors and instilling elements that reflect the beauty of the Sarasota beaches in our design choices.

We are deeply committed to providing each guest with the highest quality of communication and service and providing knowledgeable guidance for all the places to visit and things to do to enrich your experience. We do not live on the property but we are only a call or a message away, any time!

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property because we love Arlington Park and how quick and easy it is to get downtown and to the beaches. We were also excited to hear it was selected as one of South Florida's top locations for birding & wildlife trails. Our city park offers residents and visitors outdoor basketball courts, tennis courts, playground, outdoor fitness gym, ½-mile walking trail, and dog park for our families with four-legged members.
