This home is very beautiful and comfortable! It has everything in the indoor and outdoor kitchen that you could need. Excellent host and great communication at all times. We enjoy this property very much, and it is walking distance to main street and also the bayfront in Sarasota.

Thanks for staying with us again. We look forward to you coming again next year!
House was clean and very comfortable. Gerard was always prompt with a reply with any questions we had. The location was excellent for visiting downtown Sarasota. We wish the weather had been warmer so we could have enjoyed the lovely pool etc at the house

Thanks for your stay, and for taking good care of our home. Please come again.
The house was better than advertised with plenty of space in the open living areas to gather with friends and family. The enclosed pool patio and lanai allowed us to enjoy the pool throughout the day. Gillespie Park nearby was a great place to walk dogs and for kids to play.
The house is gorgeous and in a great location. Gerard was also very responsive. The guest bed and pillows could have been a little softer, but other than that, we had an excellent time and would definitely stay here again.
House is in a great location, beautiful and well kept. Amenities are wonderful and that house has everything you need for a comfortable stay. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.
This was our fourth stay at the property. It feels like our home away from home! Sadly, next March is already booked so we will not return. Gerard is the most responsive VRBO owner we have encountered.
Easily accessible to the waterfront and downtown, house was clean and nice, pool / hot tub / patio area is great, manager was easy to contact, responsive and helpful.
We had a wonderful time! Listing is perfect description and was the perfect get away! The 4 of us had plenty of space, all the amenities and loved the walk to cafe for breakfast. .great location with easy walking to restaurants, park and parks. Beach is short drive
We had 6 adults, we had a great time. The property was beautiful and close to everything. We enjoyed days at the beach and afternoons hanging at the pool and hot tub. The outdoor kitchen was great too. I would recommend this location to all.
We had a great time. The house was very nice and the hosts were extremely organized with directions on everything we needed (internet, hot tub, tv etc) to make things very easy. The pool and jacuzzi were very nice to have as well. Centrally located to down ptown and short drives to Siesta Key and St Armand’s Circle. Would definitely recommend this place

Thanks for your stay, great to have you.
Please come again!
Poor TV streaming and Wii fi service, hot tub didn’t work or was locked so it couldn’t be utilized. Pool was dirty even after service came to clean. Otherwise the home was centrally located for all the activities we had planned during our stay.

Very sorry you had issuez. If you had let me know I would have addressed it but unfortunately you didn’t let us know until your review after you had already left.
As for the pool, we’ve had the same pool company for 4 years, they go every week and we’ve never had a problem.
As for the internet, it was acting up and we just had upgraded routers and service installed.
I’m very sorry you were not totally satisfied.
Sincerely,
Gerard
