Very clean, close to a lot of great activities, stores and restaurants. Pretty quiet neighborhood. The yard was great for our dogs and the set up was good for small kids around a pool. Plenty of towels and extra sheets. Plenty of beach gear. Everything was very comfortable! We hope to visit again!

Our stay at Blue Conch couldn’t have been any better. The house was beautiful and central to everything Sarasota has to offer. The huge lanai was our favorite spot to relax and enjoy the afternoon storms as they rolled through. There were plenty of beach chairs and pool toys provided. The host offered immediate responses to any questions we had. We would 100% return and recommend to anyone staying in the area.

Great House/Great Host!

We had a great time at this VRBO and Chris was an amazing host. The house was perfect for us. The neighborhood was quiet and safe and the pool was a nice extra touch to the experience. We had a very relaxing vacation and the house contributed to this as an overall great experience.

Wonderful Stay & Perfect for our Group

The home is adorable and since we didn’t arrive until late in the evening, we appreciated that it was well lit. Very clean and cute! We would definitely stay there again. The screened in porch is just the best! The owners were very attentive and cared that we had an excellent stay. Thank you!

Excellent Location

My family and I had a wonderful time in the Sarasota/Siesta Key area. This home was conveniently located to everything we wanted to do from going to the beach, fishing, shopping and dinning out. The house was nice and clean, spacious, comfortable and tastefully decorated. The guesthouse was too cute! The outdoor living area was perfect for the additional space it provided and the kids couldn’t get enough of swimming in the pool. We would definitely stay at this property again!

We very much enjoyed our time staying at the Blue Conch! Great location with a Publix right down the street, plenty of restaurants close by, and short drives to numerous beaches. Chris was extremely responsive and made sure we had everything we needed to make our vacation really special.Our family of 4 had plenty of space to spread out and we definitely plan a return trip there. Highly recommend!! Jim Tucker

Perfect vacation home

We adored everything about this home. The location was fantastic! Walmart & Publix were just a few minutes away, along with many other stores. So many beaches to pick from, depending on how far you want to drive that day. All five of my children are already asking to book this home again. We even took a couple days to just hang around the house & enjoy the pool.

Great place for a family getaway

We enjoyed staying here. It was conveniently located to the things we did. It was just a short drive to siesta key. It had plenty of room for a family of four. Our grown kids loved having their own rooms and we put the kitchen and grill to good use. We also appreciated the beach chairs and cooler that we used most days. The pool was nice but too cool to swim in during Dec/Jan. We would stay there again.

Fantastic vacation

A perfect vacation getaway in a lovely, immaculate home with a gracious host. Chris answered all emails swiftly and we needed nothing. Home is well equipped and in a great location to everything. We enjoyed the pool, and the yard was perfect for our Labrador to run around in. Coming back again next year!

This place is PERFECT!

We were allowed to check in early and check out late, which is pretty rare. The location of this house is near the beach and every store you could possibly need. The beds and the bedding were excellent. House was cleaned impeccably, and I am picky. The pool is much prettier in person than the pictures depict and there were plenty of toys to play with. Big TV’s in every room. The screen porch is amazing. If you are visiting Sarasota and need a place to stay, this is it. The owners were extremely responsive and a pleasure to deal with.

Roomy and great location

My Mother and I stayed here to attend a graduation. We found it exactly what we needed for the two of us and her little chihuahua. It rained every day so the pool did not get used. I have to say that Chris was so responsive to any needs we had. The only suggestion I had was that maybe a heavier, non seethrough curtains or blinds and also that smoke detector needed to be replaced.. this place is in a quiet neighborhood but still close to shopping. Great space for a family to spread out in.

Hi Christine, It was a pleasure having both you and your mother stay with us! I appreciate the feedback, with specific respect to the smoke detectors. I am having them replaced this week. I'm also sourcing some thicker curtains for the bedroom in question. I do wish you had some better weather for your stay, so you could enjoy the pool and all Sarasota has to offer! Thanks again, and I hope you will consider us again in the future. Chris

Fantastic!

We found this house when planning our first real family vacation in over 4 years. We couldn’t have been happier here! The house was great with a nice relaxed feel and plenty of room for our kids to run around. Chris was great from the start offering some toys and a crib for our youngest. His amazing communication never stopped through the whole trip and when we were faced with all day thunderstorms, Chris and his wife showed up with a DVD player and a selection of kids movies and books/puzzles. The only down side was my family didn’t want to leave! Highly recommend this house to any family.

Book it!!!

My husband, two young children and I just got home from a fantastic week in Sarasota.The house is even better than the pictures. Each room is very large and there's a ton of room to spread out in the indoor and outdoor living areas. The screened in lanai /pool was wonderful for the evenings and with a fully fenced yard and beautiful trees, it was all very private. We could enjoy being "outside" without the bugs. What truly made this a fantastic experience for us, though, was the owner and property manager. Not only did they provide us with all of the baby necessities we needed (crib and highchair), but they even brought our kids some toys to play with while we were there! I can not say enough good things about this rental home. The location was perfect, walking distance to Publix, Walmart, Denny's, Walgreens and a short 10 minute drive to the beach and just 10 minutes to downtown - Siesta Key is paradise once again!

Everything about the home was thought out and executed well. It was perfect for our family vacation. The size of the home was perfect for our multigenerational family vacation. Everyone had their own space and could sprawl out. I loved the surf shack. Chris was beyond responsive to anything I needed. We are already planning our next visit.
