Enjoyed the location. It was unfortunate the common wall allowed me to hear the other guests talking, laughing and snoring. Had to wear ear plugs. Otherwise, the property was as advertised.

Perfect for our Florida stay

This was my first time utilizing the VRBO app. I was apprehensive, however the owners of this property made the process incredibly easy. Beautiful house that was perfect for our Florida stay. I would highly recommend this property and would definitely stay again.

Mark was an amazing host! He provided a great book full of suggestions for restaurants, attractions, about beaches and shopping areas This cozy VRBO offered a comfortable living space, a quiet neighborhood that was so close to everything Sarasota, Siesta Key, Venice and so many beaches.

The place was clean and cute. My only issue was the grill was broken. We couldn’t get it lit. We love to grill so this was disappointing.

Amazing Beach House!

Perfect for our family! They had everything we needed. Fully stocked kitchen. Grocery stores and yummy restaurants within 2 miles. Siesta Key Beach (#1 Beach in the US) is a short 5 mile drive. Fun beach toys for the kids, chairs and beach towels. We highly recommend and would definitely stay there again and again!!

Sarasota Stay

We loved our stay. Everything was perfect. Mark was available promptly for any questions we had. Place was very clean and kitchen was fully stock with everything you need. Beaches are just a few mins. away. Plenty of excellent restaurants close by and groceries. Be sure to check out the Amish markets if you are buying groceries and fresh fish from Walt's down the road. We plan on staying again next year!!

Cute and cozy

We enjoyed our stay, the location was great and the home was very clean and cozy ! We were however surprised to see upon arrival it was a duplex style… not sure what they call that in Florida. Luckily we didn’t have neighboring guests until our last night. We were looking for something a little more private because we had two screaming girls 1 and 2 years old that don’t know how to use inside voices yet... Overall it was a very nice home and had all the amenities. Would definitely recommend. Thank you for making our first family vacation memorable !

Wish we could have stayed longer

This property is located in the middle of everything possible yet it was so secluded. My family and I felt so comfortable and definitely I will use this place again if I am in Sarasota. Mark (the owner) was so pleasant and also gave us enough time in checking in and checking out. All the furniture was also updated together with all the appliances. The kitchen and bathroom was updated and the entire place was clean. I will definitely call on any of Mark's properties if I am on the West Coast since he is so organized. Sandra

Cozy cottage

This apartment was as described, clean and quiet. The bed was comfortable which is so important. We loved the washer and dryer convenience and the central air was always cool. We were so close to everything. NThe apartment is centrally located to Siesta Key beach and downtown Sarasota. Everything was within 10-15 minutes away. The trees outside provide some shade on the patio which was comfortable later in the afternoon after a day at the beach. You can rent umbrella’s and chairs at Siesta Key after 9:30am. Some restaurants that are a must, Owens Fish Camp has a fantastic menu, super casual Casa Mesa for the best soft tacos anywhere. The best Italian food we found to be Bevardis Salute in downtown Sarasota order the fried calamari appetizer and lasagna entree. If you love going to the gym while you are vacationing EOS fitness is 5 minutes away. We absolutely love Sarasota!

Nice

The only complaint I would have would be that there were only four parking spots. One spot is all I needed. And every time I left and came back, there would be trash cans, parked right in my parking spot so when I would come, I would have to get out of my car and move the trash cans just to be able to pull in. This happened on multiple occasions. Someone kept putting those garbage cans in the spot so that I could not park. And for most of the time, all four parking spots were taking when I arrived again. I would have to get out of my car just to move the trash cans over so I could park.
