Everything was perfect for our needs (the property is close to our adult son’s place in Sarasota, and many other activities around the area). The pool was a big hit with everyone and used every day during our week's stay (the pool toys supplied made it even more fun for the kids). The house is well equipped in the kitchen, bedrooms, & baths. Everything worked as advertised. The hospitality was good - the owner always replied quickly when queried about some things (not problems, just questions). Everyone had a great time, and we will definitely consider this property again the next time we visit our son in Sarasota.

Clean, spacious and comfortable

We stayed for the month of March and we couldn’t be any happier with the house. We cooked/grilled some amazing meals and ate outside by the pool. The beds were comfy, the showers had great water pressure, and the pool was clean and the perfect temperature. Note - you will get used to the noise from the planes flying directly overhead - especially if you have anyone flying into Sarasota and can literally not leave for the airport until you see the plane come in. Very convenient.

Wonderful Christmas Gathering

We had a wonderful week at this home and enjoyed our stay tremendously. The pool was great, the neighborhood felt safe and was clean. Arrival check in was flawless. We slept well on wonderful beds, the host provided some basics of paper products, laundry soap, garbage bags, and toiletry needs. One of the neighbors even took our garbage out for us. We had a very memorable stay and would return. Our dog had the best week of life playing ball at the pool and chasing the get goes on occasion outside. Thank you for making our Christmas stay wonderful.
