Thanks for the review Jennifer!! I’ll look at a space for hooks.
We can try to communicate the blanket storage. I literally left out the blanket last week and our cleaning personnel put it away…I’ll definitely work on that. Thanks for your suggestions!

Beautiful home- very clean and nicely decorated in a friendly neighborhood. Kitchen equipped with all needed items. Very close to airport- so plane noise outside was a bit distracting but you could hardly hear them from inside the house. Pool was lovely even though water temp in Jan was a bit too cool for me to swim in.
We really enjoyed our stay at this location. The decor is so eclectic! So many details and interesting things to look at. All high quality furniture and furnishings made this house a perfect getaway for us! Beautiful home!
Loved the decor, clean and quiet. Excellent place to stay and would highly recommend. A few recommendations: air purifier on first floor needs maintenance. Generated musty smell. Bathroom toilet upstairs has a sticking lever and could cause an issue and fridge should be cleaned on top, only seen by us tall folks. All just suggestions for the owners as constructive feedback. Thank you for a great experience!!!.

We loved this house! Very clean with unique decor. It’s in a quiet neighborhood that we found to be close to everything we needed. Communication was easy with the host and she was always quick to respond. We will be staying here again!

From the owner: "Thank you, Niki. We are so glad that you had a pleasant stay. Nothing makes us happier than a happy guest who appreciates the home as we do. We will be thrilled to host you in the future."
Great place to stay. My wife and I used the 2 ground floor bedrooms and my Son/Wife/Baby had the top floor suite with bathroom. Awesome pool and yard. Nice kitchen. Quiet neighborhood. Historic house is well worth the stay. A couple planes fly over during the day would be the only downer. I am quite sensitive to surrounding noises and traffic but this was no bother.
This property was quite clean but a bit cluttered in decor- very responsive property management concerning communication though

Sarasota Vacation Rental - Ringling Home
This house is absolutely amazing! Beautifully decorated in line with the home built during the Ringling Era. The pool is the most beautiful backyard pool we have ever seen.
Location is great. Just 3 minutes from the SRQ airport. The owner was extremely helpful and accommodating. We will definitely plan on a stay here again in the future!

From the owner: "Thank you, Patti. We are so happy that were pleased with the convenience of the location and the esthetics of this charming and comfortable home. We couldn't agree more!"
We loved all the little decorating details of this house, the art displayed, the colors of the rooms all the way down to the Friends cups (that gave me a big smile when I noticed those). The beds were very comfortable, everyone slept great. The pool in back was beautiful, unfortunately we stayed so busy and it was so HOT, we didn’t get to take advantage of it. I definitely would stay here again if I ever visit Sarasota again.
Lora was very sympathetic ti our delayed arrival due to flight cancelation

Would Love To Come Again
The house is beautiful, has real character, comfortable and neighborhood is quiet. Everything was clean and the beds were super comfortable. Even Mom with her mobility issues had no problem in getting around the house and outside too. Loved all the stained glass. Checking in was easy and any questions we had were answered quickly. We enjoyed sitting by the pool and watching the planes come in - inside the house it was nice and quiet. Upstairs living space is perfect for another couple to have their private area. We hope to come back again next year.
My girlfriends and I stayed at Lora’s home in July. (Officers Club, Biotch Division.) Everything was perfect. Lora was a great host. I had several questions (mostly the pool) and Lora responded immediately. When we arrived, there was a note and a bottle of wine for us. I don’t know if she normally does the wine, but I had recently retired. We all appreciated the gesture very much! The beds were all comfortable, the house was spotless, the pool was perfect. I had read a previous comment about hearing the planes (airport is only a few minutes away), but honestly, you can barely hear them from inside the house, certainly not enough to disturb your sleep. I highly recommended staying at this beautiful home!! Thank you again, Lora!!!

Thank you Brenda for the kind words. I’m so glad that you ladies had a great stay.!!We’d be so happy to host you in the future 😊
This house is awesome! My teens loved the pool and the aesthetic of the home. The rooms had so much character and were so quaint. The hosts were so accommodating and everything was perfect. I can’t think of a single complaint. We were in town for a memorial service and my mom and I were able to stay in the downstairs room and the kids had their own space upstairs. This allowed them to sleep in each morning and mom and I could be up bustling around and soaking up the sun. The Ringling touches are adorable. We would DEFINITELY stay in this home again.
This house is beautiful, with so much character and unique touches. The beds were all very comfortable, and everything was perfectly clean.
Recommend bringing ear plugs (or properly manager could provide), as this property is near the airport, and the 6am departing flights could wake you up.
Property manager - would be lovely to provide some towels specifically for the pool, as we didn't feel comfortable taking the bathroom towels outside. Would also appreciate single-use laundry detergent, as it's not something folks usually travel with ;)

Eclectic and Comfortable
Actually 3 sleepable beds in this house. 2 kings and a queen make it much more like home. The pool is fantastic. This location was perfect for us. Almost everything is still brand new (bedding, towels, kitchen equipment) or recently remodeled (bathrooms, kitchen, air conditioning). A few minor additions needed - a few more standard size pillows - king size pillows are neck killers. Upgraded shower head in 1st floor bathroom to improve water pressure. Kitchen needs a set of hot pads. Upstairs is basically a master suite, this home would be easy to share with 2 parties and each would still have privacy. Neighbors were very nice too!
