We arrived to a clean house and all of our questions were answered quickly. The house and back yard area were awesome and exactly what we needed to spend the week relaxing in the sun. Everything you need is there. We will definitely be back! ##### Nicholas P. Stayed 8 nights in Mar 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alan B. 30 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent property. Private backyard and close to Siesta Beach First of all, communication with the property owner is excellent. We arrived just after hurricane Ian. We were kept up to date about condition of property with regular updates prior to arrival. The house is bright and clean. The kitchen is the best equipped that we have experienced with a rental. Plenty of towels, including those for the beach/pool. There are several coolers, and equipment (chairs, etc) for taking to the beach if you choose to do so. We were supplied with plenty of good quality toilet paper and paper towel. Enough for our entire stay and beyond. Literally all we would have needed to bring was our clothing and food. Everything else one would need was provided. Wifi/Internet is great both inside and out. The bright spot is the backyard/pool area. Completely private. We had already been at Siesta Key for a week, so other than going out for groceries we did not leave the property. Hot tub and pool are awesome. Pool is heated and gets both sun and shade as the day goes on. We felt completely safe in the neighborhood. Highly recommend this property for couples, or an entire family. ##### Alan B.

Everything is perfectly done at this house. The location is central to just about everything you would want to do. The house is furnished exactly as we would have it if it was ours.

My husband and I were looking for a relaxing place to unwind from the cold here in Michigan and this was the place. It was clean, had everything we needed and the backyard was a dream. Communication was perfect. One thing to note is that it is located in a quiet neighborhood but within 15 minutes to Siesta Key, downtown Sarasota and St. Armands circle. It was perfect for us. ##### Janis C.
