The property was beautiful, in a quiet neighborhood. This is the first time a property was nicer than expected. It was a pleasant surprise. Prompt response from the owner when needed. Beds were comfy. Enjoyed the patio area as well. I plan to rent again when in the Sarasota area.

Hi dear, thanks so much for your review and comments. I hope you enjoyed your stay. The house was empty for a long period and noticed about the canopy, when they were cleaning for your arrival. We ordered the canopy and didn’t come on time. They are replacing it this week. Thanks :)

March Getaway

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Sarasota. The weather cooperated and we used our Vrbo as a great base of operations to explore the Sarasota area while escaping the later stages of winter in Wisconsin. Beaches, shopping and restaurants were all easy to access with short drives.

Lovely Big House in Downtown Sarasota

The house is very large and super clean. Great location to anything downtown Sarasota and the house is on a dead end. The host was super fast with communication. Will definitely be staying here again when visiting Florida!

A lack of shops and restaurants nearby. You definitely need a car. The house was lovely with a covered patio and clean rooms. Could use more directions on how to access network channels on the TVs. It is very close to the airport and the plane noise might be a problem for some renters.

Good vacation

We had a wonderful week at this vacation home! The house was exactly as described—clean, spacious, and very comfortable. The kitchen was fully equipped, and the beds were cozy. We especially loved the outdoor area; it was perfect for relaxing in the evenings. The location was ideal—close to shops, restaurants, and beautiful beaches. The host was friendly, responsive, and made sure everything was perfect for our stay. We truly felt at home and would definitely love to come back. Highly recommended!

The home is Close to gorgeous beaches with basic beach equipment. It is in a quiet and safe neighborhood. I appreciate the minimalist decor. The clutter free environment allowed us to settle right in.The kitchen has the necessary pots and pans to cook a daily meal. Honestly if I had to recommend anything, it would be a decent and updated knife set. It really was a wonderful home and enjoyable place to spend the week with my family.

Amazing place

This place is absolutely amazing. The house is very clean, well-managed and has absolutely everything you need for a relaxing vacation in sunny Florida! It's also located in a quiet neighborhood. Sandra is a wonderful host. She gave us very clear check in instructions ahead of time, always responded very quickly and was very helpful to fulfil our needs in a best way possible. We also liked the location. Only 15 min to Lido beach, 25 min to Siesta beach. The house is close to downtown, shopping malls and to a variety of grocery stores. We will be back next year. Thank you very much!

Boohoo

The home was very nice. It was not close to nice beaches. Had to drive a ways to find the soft white sands. The host was difficult to reach. Had issues checking into the property. I was not provided the second door combination for the Ring video lock. Had to reach out to the host and it took over an hour to reach her. Texted the host to see if we could check out at 11:00AM instead of 10:00AM due to granddaughter having and 8:00AM soccer game and wanted to shower before we went to the airport. Text was sent at 8:00PM Saturday night and she did not respond until 2:00PM Sunday afternoon.

Dear James, Sorry about your insatisfacción with your stay at my house. About your comments 1. The house is 12 minutes drive to Lido Key and 20 minutes drive to siesta key . Sorry if you feel that is not close enough. 2, The day of your arrival at 11:54 am , I sent you all the instructions with the codes to open the door to your inbox on the VRBO app. At 4:29 pm you txt me you can not access the home with the code . Not sure what code you were using. I was in a meeting at work and left the meeting to respond at 4:35 pm . Sorry that you consider that difficult to reach. You and VRBO can verify that the codes to open the door were sent at 11:54 am as mentioned above and the time of my response. At 4:35 pm when I was able to respond and also attended your call , I told you that the codes were sent early. You ask me where. I told you to the VRBO app which is the oficial way to communicate with guests. You responded you don’t manage the app that somebody did everything for you. Sorry they didn’t give you all the information . The day prior to you checking out , you texted me at 6:37pm asking me if you can stay later. I was maybe with poor connection, and I didn’t see it until the next day. I have a contract with a cleaning company and they get there at 10:00 am to clean the house and have it ready for the next guest that usually comes the same day. Maybe if you have texted me in the morning i could have contacted the cleaning company to accommodate you a little bit later. You can check my reviews here and other platforms , nobody ever have any comments like yours. I always try to go above and beyond to have my guests happy. So sorry you didn’t feel it that way, Thanks
