Location was the key factor and this place was a winner. We were 15 minutes from Ed Smith stadium. Home of the Orioles and less than 30 minutes from Bradenton and Venice. (Pirates /Braves). The property is located on a quiet street just blocks from Tamiami Trail, Rt41 which is a main road going north/south. Anything we needed was within 2 miles. The unit was as advertised. Private drive. Easy access. Clean. Screened in porch was nice for morning coffee and prep for game day. Only one TV in the house but it was more than sufficient for our needs. Kitchen was well supplied for cooking. Linens and towels were supplied. Nice to have dishwasher and laundry. Didn’t go to Siesta Key this trip but less than 5 miles to this gorgeous beach. Neighborhood was decent but the house next door appeared unoccupied and a bit run down. Not a problem for us but to let prospective tenants know. Price for the house was reasonable versus stay in a Marriott. The owner was very accessible. Would definitely recommend this rental. ##### Philip M.

With two bathrooms the house was perfect for two couples. It was very clean and condition of the house matched the photos. We met a couple of the neighbors who were very friendly. Location worked well: good shopping and restaurants nearby. Easy access to downtown Sarasota and Siesta Key benches. Would rent the house again. ##### James P.

Called homeowner she sent over cleaning lady to see what issues were she was very rude and scary. Not very helpful bedding was dirty food left in refrigerator washer and dryer was outside also outside was a old dishwasher just sitting in the backyard. Door looked like someone tried to break in bottom was all banged up looked like someone took something metal to it. My daughters senior graduation trip was ruined by all of this and basically having to spend more money to feel safe and renting a hotel room. I hope everyone will stay clear of this rental and save yourself a major letdown and headache. ##### Heather P. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2021 ---
