Pool is screened and well maintained. Laundry room was very convenient. Nice quiet neighborhood. Plenty to do in the area. Elicia was very accommodating and checked in to see if we needed anything. I would definitely rent this house again. 5 stars!!!"

THE RESERVE RETREAT

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent room above the Italian restaurant! A little of the camaraderie in the restaurant as diners discussed the evening didn’t bother me, but just be aware if you’re put right above the restaurant there is a little noise. The other rooms out lying on the property would not have this. My room was very well appointed and spacious as well as the bathroom. Would stay here again!"

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Sarasota Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The location was convinient and the staff were super friendly. The breakfast was real good. They also accept dogs."
