The backyard pool area was a private oasis! We enjoyed our time there each and every day. The beaches were just a few minutes away for the day get away. Our host John and Gabrielle were very helpful and resourceful with information about the area. Thanks you very much!

Awe that’s very kind. Glad you enjoyed our labor of love. You guys were wonderful guests!
Four children and four adults stayed here. Loved the pool and the beautifully landscaped (private) backyard. Plenty of space for our family. Enjoyed the games and outdoor bags and mini golf. They had lots of beach and pool toys too. Very quiet street, enjoyed the screens in front porch in the mornings.
This was a perfect home for our stay in Sarasota. The location was convenient to downtown Sarasota, Lido Beach, St. Armand's Key, The Bay Park and many other attractions. The pool and outdoor area were beautiful. Gabby and John are excellent hosts! I would highly recommend this home for your stay in Sarasota.
The house was clean and very cozy. We loved the pool and the house was equiped with all the essentials. We enjoyed meeting and talking to the hosts. They were very nice and down to earth.
The house was really nice and pool area was gorgeous. Lido beach was a quick 10 minute drive away. There were many shops and grocery stores within 5 minutes of the property so we got to spend more time enjoying our vacation!
The kitchen was fully equipped. The interior was clean, bright and colorful. Lots of fun and original artwork. Our mini American Shepherd loved exploring the secure back yard. Location was convenient to both Lakewood Ranch and Longboat Key, where seafood restaurants and shopping abound. Gabby and John are kind and accommodating hosts.
Absolutely loved this place. It was so cozy and clean and the outdoor space was like a piece of paradise. The pool and landscaping around it are so beautiful we used it every single day! We would love to come again!
Roomy, wonderful swimming pool, great kitchen, dinning and living room combo, we had 7 people and didn't feel cramped...laundry room is really nice too.. Pick this place to stay when your in Sarasota
House was very clean and comfortable. Our favorite place was sitting on the front porch or hanging out by the pool. Very conveniently located and just a short drive to the beach.
The house was amazing! Great space, beautiful pool, quiet neighborhood that is centrally located to all the places. Much of what I would normally have to pack was already provided. 10 out of 10. When we come back, we will definitely stay again!!
Perfect property for a family to have a get away. The place was super clean, the owners are right next door and available for all our needs. We will for sure re book with them next time we are in town.
This was a phenomenal property with fabulous amenities! We loved every minute of our stay. The owners were fantastic and easy to communicate with. Will definitely be back!
We absolutely loved staying at this property and had the best time! Everything we needed was already there for a large family of 7! The owners were great and made sure we had a great time! Can't wait to stay there again!
We really enjoyed our stay here. The pool was perfect for my family. Location is close to beaches and everything we needed. The hosts were so attentive, kind, and very much wanted us to enjoy the house, area, and our vacation. This place will always be our #1 pick!
Wonderful family set up. The hosts are great and the house is well equipped. The pool is lovely and a beautiful setting, especially in the evening. The house is in an historical area and parks and groceries are in walking distance (under a mile). We would stay there again.
Our stay was amazing. Everything worked as it should. We spent a couple hours each night playing games. The pool was amazing and we went swimming all the time. The location is great everything we needed was within a couple of miles. The host's are great and very helpful if you are in need of anything. The beach is about a 10 minute drive to Lido.
Absolutely beautiful home inside and out! Convenient location. Lots of beach and pool toys, towels, chairs, even a wagon! Plenty of room for us and our three teenage kids. Owners are super friendly! We hope to come back soon!
I would like to see the neighborhood after all the hurricanes debris is cleaned up The neighborhood is up and coming

About the host
Hosted by Gabrielle Hoover
We are traveling musicians that live on a detached converted apartment on site. We are world travelers that remain out of site and separated from the home by a fence. Often we are gone traveling or on tour or playing somewhere regionally. Gabby the guitarist works from home in marketing for the Titanic exhibits. John the mandolin player works on songwriting and managing the property.
Why they chose this property
This property is taken care of and is constantly being upgraded between rentals for aesthetic appeal and for guest privacy and enjoyment. We work to create a comfortable space where vacationers can relax with family and friends for time in the house as well as the many nearby attractions. We live for the ocean as sailors, swimmers, and fishers. Being from land-locked origins, we both have the sea in our hearts and want to share the feeling we both get from the area and what it has to offer. Come stay and find out why we are highly booked and reviewed on several rental sites.
What makes this property unique
Pool, sleeps 4-6 adults and/or 4 kids and two pull-out couches. Close to beaches and city for family or singles activities. Many restaurants are close by. Biking trail all the way to the gorgeous Lido beach.
