Nothing to complain about. Only issue we had was regarding beach towels and they took care of that promptly and bought us a bottle of wine! They had great recommendations on places to visit/eat while in town! Super friendly! Clean home.

Thank you for the 5 star review. We truly appreciate you staying with us and looking forward to hosting you in the future. Thank you for the prompt communication as well! The pool pump outdoor outlet had to be reset due to the storm the night before. We also would like to thank our back office and extremely reliable maintenance, plumbing and electrical staff for fixing issues in the shortest time possible. Our maintenance guy showed up less than 20min after our guest reported the issue. Ven & The Hacienda Team

Perfect vacay

Mom and I loved our stay. We enjoyed the beach that was very close by, and having the grocery store in the same neighborhood made it convenient to get any last minute necessities. This is a perfect location made easier by us having a rental car, but you could easily uber everywhere you need. The home was clean and spacious, and best of all we got to enjoy the pool between our beach time.

Nice house in a perfect location for enjoying the activities, restaurants and arts scene around Sarasota and Siesta Beach. It had all the amenities we needed, plus some nice extra touches.

Thank you for staying with us! The fee is separate from all VRBO charges as described in the listing and it helps offset pool equipment maintenance, replacement, pool heater cost, monthly service, etc... the fee the moment is $30/night.
