The house fit our family of 6 (2 adults and 4 teenagers) perfectly and was very clean and had everything we would have wanted. Bonus was a den with a fold-out couch that we were not expecting but definitely put to use. The lanai was a great addition to the house and we ate all of our meals there. The gardens were gorgeous. Everything was well-kept. We would highly recommend. ##### Sarah S.

W/D just what you would expect. A perfect place for two semi-retired professionals to get our work done, access all of places we like to play (beach, biking, kayaking, excellent restaurants, theater, music, etc.) and visit friends all over Sarasota. Owners were very responsive to minor issues that arose. Hope to come back next year! ##### Janeen H.

The property was relatively clean although either the cleaning company or previous tenants had not been quite diligent in some areas - linens, towels etc. There were a few issues that required outside professionals to rectify during our stay however both the owners and the Property Management Group responded quickly. ##### Paul O.

It was quiet, well equipped with everything you need and had good WiFi as three of us were working remotely. The home is adorably furnished and has a sunroom off back for reading/relaxing It was easy to get off the island to run errands but you did need a car. Closest thing to walk to is about 1.5 miles There is a cute little beach a few blocks away for chilling or watching the sunset Overall is was a great beach town home and would definitely stay there again ##### Laura M.
