Kathleen was an AMAZING host. Although my husband and I never met her in person, she was so sweet and everything was so well prepared for our stay. The neighborhood was quiet and safe and close to a lot of local restaurants and touristy sports. Would recommend to any couples, solo travelers, or friend trips! We are so blessed to have been able to stay here for our honeymoon!

Relaxing at the coast in Sarasota, Florida

The house was exactly as it was described and photographed on the VRBO website, which is to say it was excellent. Very well equipped and just the right size for a couple, located in a well appointed, quiet residential area.

Serene Retreat

Kathleen's place was super cozy and serene! She welcomed us with a thoughtful birthday celebration gift. She did a great job of setting the ambience after a long drive and arriving later in the night. The private entrance was a huge convenience since we were in and out our entire visit. The decor was warm and inviting. Her bed was amazing! The mattress, pillows and linens were absolutely divine. We loved having a kitchen available with a full size fridge. We were not far at all from beaches or downtown. We would definitely plan to stay again in the future. Thanks to Kathleen for being a wonderful host!
