When my wife and I arrived at our rental location , we were first struck by how clean the house was . On the counter were fresh fruits and a whole pineapple , all of which made the arrival more pleasant . We discovered that every appliance was in top operating order and everything we would need to cook was available : pots , pans , fryers , coffee pot , microwave . The dishes ,flatware . glasses and bowls were plentiful as well as the kitchen utensils . The site itself is well-maintained with trash pickup and an area to access dumpsters , if need be. The pool is large , beautiful and very clean ; inasmuch as this is a 55+ community , children are typically grandchildren and relatives but not at all bothersome - always monitored by accompanying adults. Trailer Estates is near a number of beautiful beaches and not far from some signature seafood restaurants that feature fresh caught fish , along with oysters , crab etc. Finally, John Phipps , the owner ,was always available for a call and would respond immediately , either personally or via a friend , Rick , who lives on site . Rick was very kind and responded courteously to whatever questions arose . A special shout-out to John for patiently working with us when our scheduled flight out of Sarasota was canceled - a problem that is plaguing all travelers . Charming , quaint and the homes unique - we encourage anyone to consider the Phipps properties ! PS : Seven miles (7) from Sarasota Airport - a staright shot on 41 North .
