I love when a VRBO’s description and photos are exactly as shown on the VRBO site. This was definitely not a catfish property! This home was super clean and updated! This was our second time staying. We would definitely stay again!
We didn’t have pets but the house is very pet friendly with a fenced back yard. The house is clean and everything works perfectly. Good WiFi, premium cable tv and cold a/c. Close to Sarasota Airport! Nine of us were happy and comfortable.
We had such a wonderful time in town for a soccer tournament. The host is very kind and super responsive. The house was very clean and even nicely decorated for Christmas, which we loved. They even left us some nice welcome treats. The house is very cozy and pet friendly. We highly recommend.

This cozy and thoughtful space is in an excellent location and was perfect for our family's needs. Host was responsive and quickly helpful with our one minor request.
We were so pleasantly surprised by the location to UTC and shopping and everything you need. Owners were so accommodating and even provided complimentary snacks and wine. It was very clean and exceeded our expectations in every way! Great place for a large family or group! We hope to stay again!

We booked this property for a weekend stay during an event at Nathan Benderson Park. The location was very convenient to the park. The home was extremely comfortable, clean and tastefully furnished. We didn’t have time to enjoy the back yard or the game room, but these amenities would make it very enjoyable for a family stay. I would stay here again for future visits. The property manager was extremely responsive and helpful!

Clean Comfortable home. Quiet neighborhood. Everything you need is there. Host was quick to respond.
We would rent this property in the future. Inside was very comfortable. Both bath showers had slow draining, uncomfortable standing in still water..Seems like outdoor backyard was a work in progress. Close to shopping. Quiet neighborhood.
The AC does not work properly, the rest is all good!
We stayed two days. We had good time celebrating and sharing with family. but the only thing we didn't enjoy was the nights sweating from the heat and the air not cooling. The host sent someone to check but she was told it was working normal. The technician told me the house is too old and it’s probable there is no enough insolation that’s why the AC get condensation really quick and also filter was dirty. But the rest was good, there is a game room and the patio is huge.

Thank you for staying with us and we are sorry to hear about the AC, how ever the unit is new and working normal, the oven usage/cooking and people inside of the house will cause more heat than normal, how ever we appreciate your feed and we are taking the extra measurements to improve de quality of the AC.
Thank You, Kindly!
The home was great, updated,clean the host was thoughtful everything was there coffee, creamer etc. We were in for a Military funeral and this option took a lot of stress off of us.

Welcome to Mi casa tu casa! We are so excited and happy to offer you a little piece of our hard work. My husband and I moved here from our native land, Argentina, more than 20 years ago. We didn’t know where this new life would take us but we are filled with joy to finally share our biggest project. We’ve put a lot of love and effort into making this space cozy and homey just for you! We absolutely love Sarasota and were thrilled to provide a home so you too can explore this beautiful little (but growing) town. We hope you treat our house with the utmost respect and we are here for you anytime. Thank you again for choosing us, Mi casa es tu casa, always!
