Dear Brenda, Thank you for submitting your review! We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay at the property. We look forward to hosting you again shortly.
We had a great time staying here with our family of six! Pool was a huge plus when kids were done with the beach and wanted to hang out at ‘home’. It had plenty of space and amenities that we needed for our week plus stay. 15 min drive to Siesta Key and proximity to everything else in Sarasota was great.

Malgorzata, thank you so much for your feedback! That’s a great suggestion about leaving cleaning products for guest use — it’s something we’ll definitely consider for future stays. Thanks again, and we hope to host you again soon!
Loved it as always! A pleasure to work with, clean, efficient and accommodating.

Everything was great! Grandma and the girls loved the pool which helped as we cooked dinners. Perfect location to different beaches since we went to 4 different beaches during our stay. I wrote to the host before we left and she was able to give more information about the house which was wonderful and helpful.

Thank you Carrie for your kind words! We're so glad you enjoyed the pool and location of this beautiful property and that we were able to help you have an enjoyable stay. We would be happy to host you again anytime :)
Great experience. The house was clean and had all the necessities to be comfortable. The swimming pool in the backyard was perfect for our family. The house is a great location to travel to several different beaches and isn't far from downtown Sarasota.

Thank you April to your lovely review, I'm glad you enjoyed your stay! Come back anytime :)
We enjoyed our stay at this property very much! The pool was a hit and we used it daily after a morning at the beach. The beds were also super comfortable, which is very important to us! The location was great for Siesta Key and Lido. Was a 45 minute drive to Anna Maria. I saw where one review said this place was a dump and that is not the case at all. It does need a couple of small things but it was just as seen in photos. We would stay here again.

Dear Melissa, thanks for the awesome feedback! We're so glad you loved the pool, comfy beds, and great location. Your detailed review is very helpful for future guests. We'd love to have you back!
We enjoyed our stay. Location was good, beds were comfortable and the house was fully equipped. We enjoyed the pool, but don’t be mistaken that the hot tub is not hot and is same temp as pool so that disappointed us a bit! Ice machine on fridge was broken and some of the patio furniture have seen better days.l, but all in all it was a good stay.

Thank you Kristine for your feedback. We are getting new patio furniture and fixing the ice machine :) Concerning the spa, it is specified on the rental description that it is heated at the same temperature as the pool. I'm sorry you missed that information and were disappointed. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay overall.

Very pleasant people, and the took good care of the home. Would welcome them anytime!
We had a super, relaxing vacation here. Three roomy bedrooms. Heated pool was always comfortable. The location is very close to central Savannah. Few miles to Armand’s Circle and Ringling brothers. So many good restaurants nearby. Communication with host was excellent. The neighborhood is very friendly. Could use some outside maintenance, as shared with the host.

We appreciate your feedback again Jewel. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay. Your opinion is valued and we take initiatives to improve accommodations for future guests. We look forward to hosting you again in the future.
Nice comfortable place for our Family of 6. We enjoyed the pool after the weather warmed up to 80 later in the week. The pool is heated but can’t keep up when it gets in 40 at night and 60s in day. Close to Legacy trail that we enjoyed walking each day.
We enjoyed Siesta beach, Venice beach and Ringling museum. The house is older but remodeled on the inside. On a dead end street so you don’t get a lot of traffic or noise. Clara was really good in keeping in contact with us or if we had problems.

The host was very quick to respond. Called about hot water and wasn’t happy with the response. But the day before we left it started working.

Thank you Wesley for your feedback, I'm glad to hear we're responsive. We tried sending you a plumber to fix the hot water, but you said you didn't want to be troubled during your stay.
All in all, we were happy with our rental. The pool was awesome. Rental was clean. Plenty of supplies and towels. All appliances worked well, except the garbage disposal sounded like something was in it, such as metal. Therefore, we didn't use it. The pool cleaning people were supposed to come on Thursday, April 6, but they never showed up during our visit. We would definately use VRBO again.

This and that
Property could use some attention. Grounds full of weeds and inside decorating neglected. Bed was great. We stayed a week and were given 2 dishwasher pods and 2 trash bags as well as enough soap and shampoo for 2 days. Wasn’t prepared to purchase off those things and then have to throw out leftover staples as required in the book. Pool heater was broken for most of our stay and we did receive a small refund for that.

Dear Jacob,
Thank you for your honest feedback about your stay.
We value your comments and will take them to heart to make the necessary improvements for future tenants.
We would be glad to host you in the future, as you were an excellent tenant.
Warm regards
Property has deteriorated and is not as advertised. Walked into darkness with several light bulbs out. No pack in play as promised, Pool was filthy, Hot Tub was not a hot tub. Rather a cold bath. Cob webs in multiple area. Rotten wood all over exterior of house where front porch appears to be collapsing. Gargage can has a piece of metal sticking out so we had to turn it backwards to keep from causing harm to ourselves. Manager tried to make everythin right and was timely about all responses but at the end of the day this was a total dump you do not want to stay at.

We recognize that there are areas in need of improvement, but we believe the property offers great value with its heated pool and prime location, and therefore, does not warrant a 1* rating.
It's unfair to label it as a "dump". Our pictures were updated as recently as August 2023, and the pool/hot tub were heated to the advertised temperature. Additionally, pool and lawn maintenance are scheduled once a week.
Rest assured, we take your concerns seriously and are fully committed to addressing them to enhance future experiences.
Thank you for your feedback.
Best regards,
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this well-maintained, clean, fully stocked property. The pool and Jacuzzi were warm and great. The property manager, Clara, was terrific in responding to any questions we had. Although there were only 2 of us, this house is ideal for a family, with 3 nice size bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. Definitely recommend.
