Perfect for family

Loved our stay here. Perfect set up for family. Was centrally located for us, so that was a plus for us. This is a newer house, so everything super clean and modern.

Our stay was excellent!

Me and my girlfriends could’ve have picked a more awesome house to stay in! They provided us with lots of towels, and beach necessities. The house was very clean and was a great space to hang out in! It also had very spacious parking, and not far from downtown Sarasota or from Siesta Key!

Lovely home! Great location for getting to beaches!

Lovely home! Great location for getting to beaches! We would certainly stay again and loved the area.Only thing to be aware of it is on a busy street (although just 2 lanes) as it's close to a high school--but you can not hear the traffic inside.Great beds--decor--stocked kitchen. Thank you

Great Place to Stay!

My family and I had a great stay! The place was well equipped and located in a central location—close to everything. We went for a walk, and it is a nice residential neighborhood. Even though the house was on a busy street, we did not hear a lot of traffic or noise. We appreciate the thoughtful complimentary drink, tortilla chips, and sauce.

Nice Stay

Nice place but I would like a better outdoor space. Needs better lighting outside. Beds were comfortable. By the third load I was getting tired of the stairs.

We're glad to hear you found the home nice and the beds comfortable! We appreciate your feedback regarding the outdoor lighting and stairs. To make things easier for future stays, we have updated our check-in instructions to clearly indicate where the outdoor light switch is located. We always want our prospective guests to have a seamless experience, and we hope the listing photos help clarify the layout of the home and its stairs prior to booking.

Blue eyed bungalow

Such a cute little space! Just the right size for my young family. The only downside was it was right on a busy road and there was no outside lighting to walk up the steps or out to the car. Great location closeness to food, library, beach.

Beach Girls

Very nice property. Very clean and bright. Located on a very busy road so sitting outside to relax is a challenge although it is very centrally located for our needs. Overall great stay. Property may need more hooks in bathrooms and storage spaces for suitcase, etc.

We are sorry that your stay was not what you expected. When this issue was reported to me on the 26th, we checked immediately to see if the carrier was experiencing an outage. We tried reaching out to you again so that we could get something scheduled, but we were not able to reach you and did not hear back. We take these issues very seriously and need to work together to get them resolved. Contact is needed on both sides to ensure speedy rectification. Please know we do everything we can to ensure our guests have a good, positive stay with us.
