this property has everything you need and more, a very quiet and safe neighbor hood we loved it. Kids loved the pool, thanks for the great and awesome property. We would consider staying here again.
The home was a convenient stay close to an event we were in town for. All communications with owner were very speedy and she was super kind. Access was easy, and home was as expected/advertised. Clean, had what was needed, well set up It's not 'plush' and furniture / fitout is a little dated, but was perfect for what we needed.
We love this house, and it has become our default go-to. This time, I appreciated some noticeable improvements, like new bath rugs and outdoor dining cushions. The pool heater is fantastic, especially when the temperature is in the low 70s. * We did miss the floaty turtle
Clean house, good amenities, comfortable beds and furniture. Nice quiet neighborhood. Close to beaches. Communication was delayed at times but always accomplished overall.
Everything was clean and the beds were comfy. If you have a pet and the fenced in yard would be a must-have, check with them first. The fence had a couple of sections missing, probably from the storms. Was not an issue for us.
The home is clean and has plenty of room. A lot of updates done on the inside. Sadly the yard , pool and Lanai area need a major improvement. There is no grass in the backyard. The roof has rot on it and lots of debris on the laniai itself. The neighborhood is nice and quiet and about 20 min from the beach and downtown.

Thank you. As you may know, Sarasota was hit by the hurricane Ian and lots of cages and roofs had damage. we were lucky to get some minor cosmetic damages but the techs were booked many months in advance. It is fixed now.
This was our second stay at the house, about a year after our first stay, and it was just as pleasant as we remembered. My kids loved seeing "Frank" the floatie turtle again, and we all had a great time in the pool. I did notice that some bolts on faucets and chairs had come loose, but we did some hand tightening, and it was fine. Some forks have run away, so we needed to run the dishwasher more than we otherwise would have. Otherwise, the house was in great shape, and we really love the layout for our family.
Our family had a fun and comfortable stay at this house. The interior of the house actually felt much nicer than the photos, more spacious and modern. We especially loved the bathroom renovations, and the big L-shaped couch was incredibly comfortable. We also liked all the access to the patio and pool area, especially from the hall bath.
The patio and pool area are not as in as pristine condition as the inside of the house, but it certainly did not disappoint. The dining chair cushions are stained enough to warrant replacement. Otherwise, a quick rinse with a hose easily cleaned the patio up.
The pool was fantastic, heated to 85 degrees, and we had so much fun in the pool. Just keep in mind that the entire pool and patio area is fairly compact (as photos depict accurately). Sitting under the shade and fan at the outdoor dining table was thoroughly enjoyable.
We would happily come back and stay here again!
Overall, the facility was clean and very nice along with being comfortable. Although on day two, the air conditioning condensation line was clogged, causing a water overflow in two bedrooms and soaking the carpet in the back bedroom. I spent several hours cleaning up soaked carpets and floors. I had to take the soaked carpet to the garage and elevate it above the floor for it to dry. The smell of the carpet was more than we can handle.
Also, the master bathroom, hot water vanity handle is broken, not allowing any use of hot water. One other small minor incident was that the handheld can opener is worthless.
Older neighborhood, updated home, decorated nicely. Backyard and pool area needs work…sand and weeds and mature trees that make a mess. Patio cushions need replacement. There were a few other minor issues…no propane for grill, dirty pool screen and deck area but was resolved. We learned of a local property assistant from the pool service. The “house binder” cites only two pieces of information… the WiFi password and garbage day. Be prepared for lawn service and pool service weekly. Nothing is outlined in the house manual for use of garage, laundry, lighting, TV , etc. etc. No guest book for quaint notes and ideas. The house is adequate but lacks hospitality. We enjoyed our stay, the weather and location for travels to all things Sarasota!

Hi, Marcia, Thank you for your review! we do have those things outlined online and we did have pages with the info you inquired. We also answer any questions the guests have for us. We also restocked propane for you and reimbursed you for the one ytou got. Sorry, usually cleaners notify us about propane before the guests, they may have missed it this time
House was clean and a perfect size for our family of 6. The pool is heated to 85° and $20 extra per day to go up to 90°, which would really have been more comfortable on the cooler days… but I wasn’t willing to do this, since it was not disclosed before we rented the house. Quiet neighborhood, house was in good shape, but the outside area around the pool needs a little bit of TLC. Many of the pavers around the pool were loose & many big spider webs & spiders..

Thank you. We don't require our guests to pay anything they don't want to. Spider webs are common in florida, especially after the rain
Quiet neighborhood with all we had anticipated. Close to beaches, shopping, and restaurants.
