Cozy

Very nice house. Big enough for my family and very close to Highway for easy access to local places. The only negative was capillary made their way inside frequently but it wasn’t a big deal. The owner is amazing and she will give you all the local hot spots of you just ask. We had a wonderful vacation. Thank you for sharing your piece of paradise with us.

Space for everyone!

The house was located central to everything we needed! Beach was a short drive over the Ringling causeway and St Armands (which we totally loved the vibe there!) and not far from Siesta Key beach. Nice and clean and quaint as well! Loved that I came home with clean laundry because of that amenity at the house. Very much a bonus. Elicia was always available when anything popped up and totally wanted our experience in her house and Sarasota to be the best! She allowed us to drop our things off before check in time because of our early arrival to Florida. Great experience with our first time using vrbo....will definitely use it again. Thanks Elicia for our families first trip to Florida being so awesome! Helen

We were very impressed with this property. Too bad the pool wasnt heated. very quiet neighbourhood.

Elicia couldn't have been more helpful. Anything we asked for we got. Too bad the pool wasn't heated, we did not get to swim, just a quick jump in. This house was perfect for us as we had 7 people over a 2 week period and there is plenty of room. The house was clean and had lots of linen etc. We had a Bernese Mountain dog, and the yard is completely fenced so that worked out great. Other than the first week with the demolition of a property on the corner, which wasn't Elicia's fault the area is very quiet. The house is centrally located to Lido Beach, Armand Circle and everything we needed was very close. Lots of great places to eat and things to see. if I was to make suggestions it would be to update the pots and frying pans as the non stick is coming off. Also maybe clean carpets and couches. Overall I would like to thank Elicia for everything she did for us. Jim and MJ

Family Vacation 2025

We absolutely loved our stay! The home is huge and provided enough room for all of us, the pool was amazing along with the outside patio and grill area. We could sit and enjoy ourselves while the kids played in the pool! The house was clean and the beds were sooo comfy! The host reached out to check on us and recommended places to eat and places for us to rent kayaks. The home is located in a great location, not far from the beach or the art district! We came to see siesta key beach (like almost everyone else) it was only a 20 min. Drive, but in my opinion it was over crowded and wasnt it.... lido key on the other hand was only 7 minutes from the house and absolutely beautiful and so less crowded! We loved our stay and had the best time! We plan to come back, the host offers a discount for return customers so thats another plus as well!

We attended a family wedding and needed a place that would house 7 adults. The pool and easy access to the beautiful beaches made the house a perfect pick. The entire process was convenient and communications with the property manager was without issue. We would return without hesitation.

Good stay

Good location to be close to airport and short drive to beaches. There’s lots to do in the area! We were a little frustrated when we arrived the pool was low on water so the pump had not been running. Had to have pool people and electricians there and didn’t get fixed until our last day. Pool guys did not do anything to clean besides dump chemicals so my husband was cleaning it and filling it with a garden hose so our kids could at least float in it.

Nice dog-friendly house

My wife and I stayed with another couple in the house and we had two dogs. The yard is nicely enclosed and great for the dogs. The house is comfortable as are the beds. The neighborhood is about 2 miles from downtown (restaurants and night life) and 5 miles from the nice coastal beaches on the key. There is a very modest dog beach about 1/4 mile from the house that has a view over the bay but some of the houses nearby are a bit rundown. Overall a good base to get out and do things but you will need a bike or car to see most things.

About the host

Hosted by EMV Ringling, LLC

Host profile image
We purchased this house in 2013 to rent to our daughter and her friends at the Ringling College of Art and Design. Before the kids moved in, we decided to rent the house to vacationers. We had such a good experience, and received such good feedback, that we are moving our daughter to another house nearby and are opening up the pool house for vacation guests starting in September, 2015.

Why they chose this property

This house is a great value for couples or families who want to be in the heart of Sarasota, close to all the best that Florida has to offer, without the high cost of a condo on the beach. Walking distance to the bay, and less than 2 miles from St. Armand's Circle.

What makes this property unique

In the middle of a quiet neighborhood, this house has plenty of room to spread out, and plenty of spots to relax: sitting in the comfortable chairs on the deck, sitting in the family room, or lounging in the pool. It is a great place to vacation with family or friends.
