They are incredible

Serious, I know the house is about 25 min away from the beach, but is worth. Super clean, easy communication, and the owner ia always ready to help. The house is spacious, and make you feel like home. So hope to be there again next summer.

Beautiful home with everything you need

We absolutely loved our stay! The house was perfect for our family of four, although there was room for more. The house was impeccably clean and well-organized with everything you'd need to cook, grill, swim, and go to the beach. The neighborhood was quiet and well cared for, and even great for running with very little traffic.

Wonderful Vacation Home

Rick and his team keep the house incredibly clean and the pool and pool area are well maintained. He provided a wonderful basket of goodies along with a helpful binder of information listing restaurants and things to do in the Sarasota area. The restaurant recommendations were great. After our stay, Rick discovered that we left some clothing behind, and he was kind enough to mail it to us. Palm Aire is a very quiet and peaceful development that is very biking/walking/running friendly and very close to lots of restaurants and grocery stores. We will stay with Rick again when we visit beautiful Sarasota.

Lovely Sarasota

Our family stayed here for a week and it was perfect! Host was helpful with any questions we had, and provided a welcome basket and helpful tips for the area. The house was perfectly clean and well equipped. We had 3 adults and 4 kids ages 9-17. Plenty of room and close to shopping and restaurants! The pool was a great hit as well! We even left a few things and the host notified us and is shipping them. Can’t wait for our next stay!

Great Stay

Check in process was flawless. Very clean, beautiful house, was even better in person than it was in the pictures. Pool was amazing. Kitchen is fully stocked as if you were at home. They keep lots of family games in the closet for you to use. Lots of beach/pool things to use as well. We didn’t run into any problems so we did not contact the owners but they did send a message saying if we did need anything to let them know. Definitely a 10 out of 10. Would recommend and will book again in the future if its available.

Fantastic Experience!

When we opened the front door, we knew it was going to be a good week! The first view was the sitting area and the pool beyond that. The pictures on the site did not do it justice - the house was more spacious than expected and everything was neat and clean. Easy commute to anything in the Sarasota area. Would highly recommend.

Best Ever!

This home was beyond our expectations. The layout was spacious along with the beautiful pool made us want to stay put. Fully stocked with anything you may need especially if you like to entertain. Location was great with an array of so many stores, restaurants, parks, beaches all within a short drive. In addition, many places to venture out if you like day tripping. However, what really made this vacation special were the hosts, Rick and Doris who welcomed us with their warm hospitality. A return trip is a definite.

Great location

Location is great. Close to all restaurants and new developments around the area. There is close by wholefoods and publix and more. We really enjoyed our stay in this property. Pool also really good and outdoor sitting area was awesome. Also there was a high chair for baby we didnt know about it. And pack and play was available too. If I knew it I would not pack ours. If we go back to Sarasota i will definitely look for this property again. Thank you

Oasis with a pool

We visited Sarasota on June 11/2023 for two weeks and we had a great stay. The house has all the amenities that you will need. The beds are super comfy with quality bedding. House was serene, clean, and cozy. The outdoor patio with the pool were the highlight as the kids loved the pool. It is well maintained and was cleaned and checked weekly by pool company. House is conveniently located next to shopping and dining. It is a 10 minutes drive from downtown and 8.9 miles from LIDO Beach. Overall, we had a delightful stay and we wholeheartedly recommend it without reservation. This place is a gem.

Amazing Rental

We just got back from our stay at this fantastic rental. The house is beautiful and spacious and had plenty of room for our family of 5 and 2 grandparents. Everyone loved the pool, which accommodated all 7 of us with no problem. The house comes well stocked with everything you could need and the communication with the host was fantastic. Ranger Rick even took the time to drop off an extra propane tank for the BBQ without us even having to ask because he knew the other one was getting low. We’ve stayed in the Sarasota area many times and this has been our favourite rental to date. We hope to be back again soon.

Very nice property, clean, quiet, lots of towels

The pool had some signs of staining but the good news was that the chlorine smell was minimal which I prefer. We did also have an issue with the gas barbeque where the burners seemed to not give out enough heat, (maybe clogged) but maybe its just because we did not know what we were doing. In general we did take out so it wasn't a big deal. Overall, our family loved the place and many of our family showed up at different times and loved it. (They are quite critical, so I would say it was a very nice place) LOL I like the hosts name, Ranger Rick!

First Time Visit to Florida

My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this home! It was very clean and well kept. The backyard area is so nice with the large pool and covered patio with ceiling fans and comfortable outdoor furniture. The kitchen is well stocked with all items that would be needed to cook meals and there is a gas grill out back by the pool. For your beach day, there were beach chairs, a wagon to cart your items, coolers, and a small umbrella at your disposal. The only issues we had that were small and did not interfere with our visit was that the master bedroom door did not lock and the coffee maker needs to be replaced ( my hubby made it work but he had to add a spring that would pop out of place each time he made coffee). We had so much fun visiting Lido and Siesta beaches, The Ringling Museum, St. Armand's Circle, and spending a day at Anna Maria Island ( this island had quaint shops, restaurants, and beaches on both the Bay and Gulf side). By the way, we would highly recommend getting breakfast at The Breakfast Company in Bradenton! If we are able to make it back to the Sarasota area again, we would not hesitate to stay here again!
