Nicely decorated, spotlessly clean villa located in a lovely and peaceful environment. We were surprised at how very quiet it was at any time of the day or night(well, except for yard maintenance day, of course). Very conveniently located literally minutes from anything that you might need. Owner is very responsive and pleasant to deal with. A great find at very reasonable price. Definitely recommend.

We loved the location. We prefer to stay in Village Des Pins rather than directly on the beach, which is more crowded, noisy, and expensive. You get a lot more space for your money here, including a garage, full kitchen 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a washer and dryer. The grounds are beautiful and peaceful, as well. We went to the beach daily, so really appreciated having a sturdy functioning umbrella with an extra anchor. The living room furniture and beds were very comfortable, and the kitchen had everything needed for meal preparation (including SHARP knives). Even the lanai screening was clean, which has not always been the case in other rentals. We enjoyed the neighborhood pool and jacuzzi a couple of evenings, and it, too, was very clean.

Lovely house!

We were very comfortable here and the owner was very responsive. Important to note that this house is only for a maximum of 3 guests which it says in the ad, but I did not notice initially. The second bedroom is a single with a desk which was convenient for us as my husband needed to work.

Dear Stacey, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of your stay at our villa. We apologize for any confusion regarding the maximum number of guests allowed in our rental. Our listing clearly states that the villa can accommodate a maximum of 3 people. You booked it for 2 people as per VRBO notice. Yet later you wrote you wanted 4 to stay in my villa. I was kind to say…..watch out….not possible….only max 3. The villa was renovated and it is ideal for 2 people, max 3. I was happy to host you twice. Thanks for being a return customer.

Worth it!

Alice and her home were fantastic. The unit was exactly what was outlined on the post. The home was very clean and cozy. We had one minor issue after hours that could have gone bad, but one of the neighbors saved the day. Overall we would stay here again on our next trip to Sarasota.
