We had the best time staying at this beautiful home. Great location and great amenities. If we travel to this area in the future we will definitely be booking this house again!
The pool area was amazing. The property easily accommodated our group of 10. We had a great week enjoying the pool and game room. I would recommend and consider staying again!
Jenny was an amazing communicator throughout from booking to final check out. The house is beautiful, great layout, towels and bedding were wonderful (bed were super comfy!). Love that the kitchen was stocked with all the things you need. Pool was great and even though the heat wasn't fully working on the first day she got it fixed quickly. Would love to check out the other locations now that we know the quality and communication. Very happy family.
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.
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.
The communication with Jenny was great. She was proactive in providing all info. The house was clean and comfortable. The pool was fantastic! We spent a lot of time in the warm water having fun and relaxing. Chairs and an umbrella were provided for the beach which was great. We would definitely stay again if we go back to the area. Thanks for a wonderful stay!
The house had everything: comfortable beds, game room loaded with family fun games and a perfect size, heated pool. When I reached out to the hosts they responded immediately. Awesome stay, close to some wonderful excursions and the information the hosts provided was wonderful. My sincere thanks for making our family vacation memorable and comfortable
The location could not have been any better. Very clean property and gardening. Beautiful in and out. May things to do at the property and surroundings. The game room was very fun! I would recommend this property to anyone, eyes closed.
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.
