Generously spacious house with a pool. Well equipped and maintained. Nice neighborhood for walking and biking. Short drive to shopping for almost anything.
We enjoyed this beautiful well kept home and wish we could have stayed longer. The Meadows is a very quiet peaceful community. We definitely would consider staying in this home for future vacations.
My family and I will recommend this home ! It was fully equipped with everything you might need pool was great Neightboard was great nice bike and walk areas . The management was great Jennifer responded to my emails within minutes to any of my questions.
We thoroughly enjoyed staying here! The house was huge!!! Three couples had plenty of space to spread out. The pool and spa were perfect. There is a cage over pool area and the jets did work, the temperature was just right. The Meadows is beautiful with miles of trails for riding bikes, which we rented and were delivered right to the house. We had nice warm days to drive to the beach too. I would certainly recommend staying here😍
We wanted a house where we could quarantine for two weeks. The house had everything we needed. It all worked and the pool was fantastic. There are no jets in the hot tub, but it gets nice and hot with a remote control. It’s a nice neighborhood for walking and very close to a great Whole Foods and tons of restaurants. We highly recommend it.
Easy check in process, there is no pool cage which should have been specified in the listing which is a big selling factor,insects and wasps around the patio, that was a problem with the baby and grand children we had with us,pool side kitchen area had mouse or rat droppings in drawers and in the grill which you cook on

Beautiful home and excellent amenities
This property and surrounding community is outstanding. It was perfect for our 7 adults with the four bedrooms, huge living/dining areas, and large open kitchen. The pool and built-in BBQ were a welcome retreat at the end of the day. The office with complimentary laptop computer and free wi-fi allowed everyone continuous Internet access. Jennifer who manages the property for the owner was friendly and very responsive. The owner was very generous in allowing use of pool toys, coolers, beach chairs, beach towels and bike. The property is very close to The new Nathan Benderson Park. So if you are visiting Sarasota to participate in one of the regattas there as we were, this is the perfect place to stay.
We highly recommend this property.

Beautiful home in great location!
We just returned from staying in this beautiful home. Since there was only one review prior to our stay we were a little concerned. Here are a few of the questions that we had prior to our stay.
1. The house. Very large house situated in a beautiful neighborhood. The listing was perfectly accurate and the house was clean. Jennifer was very helpful throughout the process and even sent over the pool guy to help with the heater (on/off switch is in a box opposite the heater - not shown in photos of how to operate heater in house instructions). The master bedroom is at one end of the house and the other three bedrooms at the other end with the kitchen/dining room in the middle. There is one portable crib (pack 'n play) in a bedroom closet. There is also a high chair. There are several nice decorations about the house that we were afraid our children may play with and break so when we arrived we put these out of reach. The house has an office with a computer/printer for use. There is also wifi internet throughout the house. The master bedroom has a large walk-in closet where our twins slept in pack-n-plays.
2. The pool. The pool is heated (has heater available to turn on). Our week in January was unseasonably cold (2 days with highs of 50 and lows of 30's) so the heater had some trouble keeping up. The pool did get warm enough to swim by our third day. The spa next to the pool took about 3 hours to heat to a nice temperature so we "swam" in this the first two days. In the pool area there is also a barbecue and tables for outside eating which was great on the warmer days. The pool does not really have a "shallow" end. At the one end it is about 4 feet and at the deep end about 6 feet deep. It was just right for our girls (4 and 6). We were a little nervous since three of our four children can't swim but they did just great with floaties (and direct supervision). There are several sliding glass doors leading to the pool which tightly latch and were too heavy to be easily slid open by our small children.
3. Location. Great! Close to many restaurants. About 15-20 minutes from Lido beach (which was also really nice) for families (water was too cold to swim in January obviously but was great to collect sea shells and make sand castles). We flew into Tampa which was about an hour away. Sarasota does have an airport serving a few cities.
We would definitely recommend HIGHLY!

Had the best time here. So spacious, all the amenities needed for a traveling family. And great pool! We used it all the time. The property managers were fantastic to deal with. All around amazing stay!
Can't say enough good things about this property. Ample space for everyone, and so close to shops and restaurants. It was a relative short drive to Lido Beach/St.Armand Circle and was the perfect location when we were competing at Nathan Benderson Park. We would give it more stars if we could. Property manager answered our questions pretty quickly!
The property worked well for our family reunion. The living space, indoor and out, worked superbly for 4 siblings and spouses.
The property management team was very responsive to our questions. It was just what we wanted.
We loved the property and ample items available. The spacious layout allowed all of us to spread out and yet be under one roof. The pool and spa was enjoyed every day!
FIVE STARS!!!! Our family stayed in this stunning home for a week when we moved our daughter to Sarasota. Nothing but positive feedback. The hosts were responsive to email questions prior to our trip. A three ring binder with very helpful home and area information was available. The home was clean, had plenty of space and wonderful amenities such as a heated pool, hot tub and lanai area. Coffee maker, appliances, dishes, utensils and cleaning supplies were provided. A/C, consistent Wifi, TV and speakers worked great. Front loading washer and dryer easily accessible. Each of the four bedrooms had its own full bath. Location was perfect for beaches, groceries, restaurants and shopping. We are so grateful to the hosts for sharing their beautiful property. We would love to return to this home in the future. Highly recommend!
Our stay at this home was amazing! The house was clean and had all the amenities needed! The whole family absolutely loved the pool and hot tub! Jennifer and Michelle were very responsive and helpful! We would definitely stay here again.
Thank you for a wonderful home to make memories in!

We had a nice time staying at the property. The kitchen had everything that we need. When it was raining due to tropical storm Elsa, the mall near by was a big plus for the kids. The property manager responded quickly when we contacted them. It would be better if we can get some fresh mango and star fruits from the trees on the backyard. Hopefully next time!!!
The outside of the house is beautiful! The inside leaves much to be desired. We had issue after issue from the refrigerator breaking, dryer didn’t work right, ants all over, cockroaches everywhere, the pool turned slimy green on day 3. The reality company that this is booked through (Precise Realty) was horrible to work with and very unprofessional. When we called with our concerns their response was “Do you want us to burn it down and build you a new one”? After the fridge broke and we contacted them they told us we had to wait till the next morning and call and let them know if it was still broke. We did that and they told us they would send someone right over. At 7:00 that night and after we had already lost items due to warmth in the fridge someone came. The pool could not be used because it was completely green and disgusting! We could not let the kids in the pool which is one of the main reasons we rented that house. We were very dissatisfied for the amount of money we spent to rent this for a week. I would look elsewhere so you don’t have the issues we had. We lost three days of vacation messing with things in this house to fix and clean

It is always upsetting when a guest does not enjoy their stay. We pride ourselves on giving top notch attention to every group that comes to our vacation homes. We repeatedly receive high praise on our speedy responses to any issues that arise. This was impossible for this group. We received 8 phone calls from 10:42pm to 11:00pm the first day of these guests arrival. I called them back at 11pm. They informed me the fridge was at 50 degrees. When I asked them several questions they admitted they added warm cases of waters, many other warm drinks and totally filled with groceries. I told them to take some of the warm items out and spread some of the groceries to the other fridge in the wet bar. I explained if you fill an empty fridge the temp will go up every time. Asked them to call me in the morning to tell me the temperature. In the morning I had to call them to find out. They insisted the fridge was still not functioning. I called a repair company that day which was a Sunday and they came out that evening at 6pm. We were told the fridge was still filled with all the drinks and items but was working at -2 freezer and 37 fridge and nothing wrong. They accused us of fixing the fridge and lying about the repair. They arrived 20 minutes after the repair man who called them to say he was on his way. We received a very nasty call regarding this. We were told there were little ants in the master bath. Our assistant came with ant bait but was told not to enter the house. After they vacated the house we found those on the front porch unopened.
The pool has an autofill. One of the guests during their stayed hit the autofill and caused it to continuously run. This caused the chlorine to be so diluted it caused the pool to turn green. We were not told about this until 2 days later. Our pool company came out that day. They had cleaned the pool 4 days prior and it was blue and clear.
We never heard a thing about cockroaches or the dryer not working. The dryer worked for housekeeping and the current guests. I do not believe this to be true.
This group was verbally abusive on the phone. Would call at all hours multiple times every minute until we answered. We have no problem taking care of any issues that come up in our single family homes. We were attentive to their calls until. We did everything we could to make them happy but it was clear they were looking to get a free stay.
We asked these guests to leave the home. They did so.
Wonderful home for a family vacation. The house was extremely clean and large enough for the whole family. I would definitely stay at this house again!
Our 2 week stay was perfect. The house was clean and large enough that all of us had our own bedrooms/bathrooms. Pool and jacuzzi were great. Located in a great area. Jennifer was extremely attentive to a few minimal things we needed taken care of while we were there. We were all happy to make this our home for 2 weeks. Just an FYI for any future bookings this back yard/pool area doesn’t get much sun. This is the only thing I would have liked but all in all we were super happy with the whole experience
We had an amazing time and the house is just beautiful!! Perfect for a large family - we all really wanted to stay together and this home accommodated everyone comfortably!!
The house is older but very beautiful! It has been well maintained. If you are coming to the beach with your family there is everything in the house you will need! My family really enjoyed our stay! The pool is larger and deeper than most at rentals we have stayed at. The managers, Michelle and Jennifer were great. I highly recommend!! 😊
