We really enjoyed staying here. Property was so pretty. Indian shores is a great neighborhood to walk. Close to downtown and beaches. All the neighbors were so friendly. Bonny was a very responsive host with any questions. We were here six weeks and it has everything we needed.
Had some issue with running out of hot water. Owner and property manager seemed very concerned , but did not get it figured out till my stay was almost over. That took a little fun out of things, but things happen do the best you can.
We absolutely loved our stay in Sarasota. This house is perfect: close to Lido Beach and St. Armand's Circle and to other beaches. It's also close to Sarasota museums. The property is very clean. We made breakfast and dinners at home and enjoyed the kitchen. Wifi is very fast, we both were able to work a bit. It was very comfortable for our party of 4.We really did not want to leave;)..and we might be back. The owner was great with communication with whatever questions we had.
Ms. Bonnie was very easy to talk to. If I had a need, I could text her and get a response within a few minutes. The home was such a treat. Ms. Bonnie had thought of all the necessary appliances, dinnerware, laundry and more. The decorations were attractive, but more importantly they made the atmosphere more like a home. There is accomodations for four to six people and plenty of room. I will book this property again.
