She answered all our questions before we arrived and was helpful while we were there. She let us know that the house had lost only one screen on the lanai from Hurricane Milton. This wasn't a big problem since it was too warm to sit outside anyway. The house has everything needed to cook full meals. Supplies for laundry and dishwashing are plentiful, and the beds are comfortable. Everything is very clean. If you can walk a little over a mile, it's within walking distance of the Publix grocery store and many restaurants of many types - Italian, German, an Irish pub, breakfast/lunch cafes, a bagel place, and an organic coffee house (Clever Cup). It's a few minutes' drive to Siesta Key, which is quite convenient. We really enjoyed our stay! ##### Rena D.

We spent two weeks there while visiting relatives and couldn't have been happier. We will definitely try to stay again next time we plan a trip to Sarasota. ##### Reba Q.

The Gulf Gate location was very convenient for us. We had a few questions and Rachel was very responsive. ##### Deborah D. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2021 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Richard T. 19 Feb 2020 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quiet neighborhood A nice quiet neighborhood, and a very comfortable king size bed. Easy biking in the development, a large library a block away. Centrally located in the Sarasota area. It could use a BBQ grill and more comfortable chairs in the lanai. ##### Richard T.

Stayed 29 nights in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Nellie P. 7 Jun 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Nice but removed from the action This place was very clean and well-maintained albeit a bit dated. Also we didn’t know it was one side of a duplex rather than a standalone home. We really appreciated that the kitchen was stocked with supplies so that we could cook in as needed! The one main qualm we had was that it was advertised as “location location location” but felt pretty removed from the Siesta Key beach area/restaurants and from downtown Sarasota. (We should have done more research but were unfamiliar with the area.) Granted—we were there on a holiday weekend, but it was a 20 minute drive to the beach on some days. The house is located in a more remote part of town where you’re closer to Costco/strip malls/car dealerships than the beach/cute restaurants and shops. Overall we made it work and truly had a wonderful time!! ##### Nellie P.

Lovely home. Great home, wonderful amenities, well appointed! Great residential neighborhood, good walking close to library, beach, shops. Bathroom at end of hall, problem with shower in the end of hall bathroom, hot water problems, TV bit complications, maybe a written detailed description for use. We only got NBC. Did not receive any previous maps, etc from VRBO. The back porch a plus, great area for meals, sip coffee in morning. ##### Sally P. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chuck C., Grand Blanc, MI 8 Feb 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Clean, comfortable & great location The house is as pictured in the VRBO listing. It was clean, comfortable and in a nice quiet neighborhood. The king bed was awesome. It is a great location to relative to Siesta Key, St. Armands Circle, Sarasota airport & Venice beach. There is a terrific bagel shop within walking distance. There is a great French bakery and fish monger within a mile of the house as well as 3 Publix grocery stores all within about a mile. We had easy access to I-75 for our trips to St. Petersburg and Naples. Everything in the house worked fine and the furniture was comfortable. I would definitely rent from Rachel again. We had no negative issues during our 2 week stay. ##### Chuck C.
