The host was exceptionally helpful and attentive. The house had everything we needed and was welcoming and ready to enjoy from the moment we walked in with spacious areas for large groups. Our teens loved the grand backyard with its beautiful views and fun games and amenities. We could have stayed at the house the entire time and been entertained. Downtown Sarasota with its marina, shopping and restaurants is just a few miles away and Lido Key and Siesta Key are both easy to get to for beaches and fun! There are also several public golf courses close by. I highly recommend this unique stay-your family/friends will love it! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/bb79dafb-ba08-4b38-8feb-b2217c41b592-1767449838135.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d4173ab0-c24a-440a-a5e1-dc0236051227-1767449838408.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5580e064-0cbc-4c4f-9a62-3cee33984b6e-1767449838416.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Stephanie W. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### tom d. 15 Mar 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Believe the hype. This place is as advertised. The rooms were great, the layout was spectacular, and the amenities were off the hook. Throw in a host that bent over backwards to make sure that we had a blast, and the stay could not have gone any better. The “boys” (60-year old men down for golf and spring training baseball) loved the place so much that we forwent our typical restaurant plan and grilled out 3 of the 5 nights we were down, so we could swim, and play lots of golf, bocce, and billiards - and hangout at the fire pit. This sums it up: Next time we go back to Sarasota, we’re staying at Trippe’s place again. Isn’t that the best thing you can say about a rental? ##### tom d.
