Plenty of room for our family of 10 and 2 pups! It was the perfect location for our son's wedding. The backyard is tops - like your own personal resort!! The host was magnificent - always quick to reply and answer any questions. This house made our wedding weekend even more special!
This place was everything like the picture . The host was amazing at communicating. The back yard was a big hit with my family. I never heard the words, “we are bored.” It’s in a perfect location centered between Lido Beach and Anna Maria . If we are in the area again, we will definitely be booking again. Kelly W
Alright friends if you are planning a trip to Sarasota, FL this is definitely the house to rent from VRBO. Very nice and great back yard. If we are ever in the area again we will be looking to rent again. 10 out of 10. The hosts are the best!! Cocobay Vacation Homes
The house was perfect for our family! The backyard was a huge hit for everyone. The baby items and beach items were a wonderful addition (pack and play, stroller, high chair, outdoor baby nap bed, umbrellas, beach chairs, cooler, wagon) We appreciated the little things as well: hangers, paper towels, soaps, toilet paper, etc. The bedrooms were tastefully decorated and beds were comfortable. The host was prompt with replies to our questions before and during our stay. The location to the airport was ideal for our travelers with little ones - and they liked seeing the planes flying overhead.
This is a sweet home. Nice, family oriented environment. We enjoyed the pool and out door activities. The yard does have nighttime lights which made for a more exciting pickle ball competition. Neighborhood is quiet and lovely to walk through. Showers are hot. Full size laundry available. Very nice linens and towels. We appreciated the beach chairs, unbrellas, cart and coolers. Everything is well thought out.
Back yard is amazing. Our kids and grandkids were in awe. Made for a great week. Couple little issues came up but the owners gave us great service. One minor note the bathroom door squeaks slightly in hallway. Makes some noise at night. We would definitely consider staying there again.
Wonderful stay! Communication with hosts was excellent, home was beautifully appointed, amazing options for games and entertainment. Can’t say enough about this wonderful home. Thank you!
This property has everything you need to feel right at home: spacious bedrooms, bathrooms, and living spaces, even an actual laundry room. The hosts have put their guests’ needs at the top of their list, from everything you need for the beach to basic necessities for personal care and even some much appreciated kitchen extras. (Thank you for the snack basket!) The beds and furniture are all very comfortable. The amenities are more than one might typically expect, and they’re well cared for. You can literally spend an entire vacation day (or two!) at the home and not feel like you wasted a day because there is just so much to do. The pool is perfect and we loved the pickleball court! Laise is very communicative. We had a minor issue with the shower and she sent the handyman right over for an easy fix. Any other questions or needs we had were addressed immediately. She really cares for her guests and it shows. The location is great, with so much to do nearby. I highly recommend this property. It’s a lovely place to make your vacation truly feel like a vacation.
We had a wonderful stay! The house was very nice, clean, and comfortable inside, and everything worked perfectly. The outdoor area was especially great for the kids, and we all enjoyed the activities and spending time there together. The owner was amazing with communication and even checked in on us during our trip. Overall, it was such a relaxing and enjoyable experience!

Stayed at the house for a soccer showcase at IMG.
Perfect spot to house a couple of teammates and their parents. House was clean, put together, convenient. Hosts were VERY responsive and accommodating. Highly recommend...
We were in town for a wedding at the Powel Crosley Estate. This house was perfectly located! The venue was a 4 min drive and downtown Sarasota was a10 min drive! The backyard kept our big kids entertained! We were also impressed with the bedrooms! All were decorated beautifully!

We booked this house for our family vacation for 12. We had 9 adults, 1 teen, and 2 kiddos, and it was perfect for us all. The house is beautiful and well kept and has everything you can think for entertainment and comfort. The owners communication throughout the process was excellent and I highly recommend this property. We can’t wait to visit again!
This was the perfect house for our family. Everyone had a blast with all of the things to do in the backyard. The beds were very comfortable. We appreciated the beach chairs and wagon when we went to the beach. The hosts were easy to communicate with and very responsive. We would definitely stay here again!

Thanks for the opportunity to host you, Laurie! It was an honor to have you. -Laise
There is so much to do at the house you couldn’t ever get bored. The pool is amazing, pickle ball was a blast. We had a putting contest with all family members, there’s disc golf, cornhole, big bowling, air hockey, goose ball, huge TV’s with Netflix and many , Hulu, Prime, and many other channels and you haven’t even left the house yet!! The hosts were amazing sending suggestions of what to do in the area and where to grab some great seafood. They were constantly available if we had any questions. I would definitely go back for another family vacation.

Wow — thank you so much for this amazing review! 🙌 We’re beyond happy to hear how much fun your family had — from pickleball and putting contests to pool time, disc golf, and all the games indoors! 🎯🏓🎳🎮
It sounds like you made full use of everything we designed into the space — and that’s exactly what we love to see! We put a lot of thought into creating a home that families can enjoy without ever needing to leave — though we’re also glad our local recommendations hit the mark too! 🐟🌴
Thank you for being such wonderful guests. We’d love to welcome you back anytime for another unforgettable family getaway!
This rental is fantastic! The house is beautiful and just as shown in the photos. The bedrooms are nicely decorated and the beds are very comfortable. Everything you can need for meals and entertainment is provided. Our whole crew loved the pool and the fun the backyard games. The location provides easy access to all Sarasota attractions, but with so much to do you may never leave the house! If you get a chance, walk to the authentic Cuban restaurant (Mirna’s) at the end of the road.

A great gathering place. If you want a place that has activities for all ages, this is your place! Response time from owners were fantastic. House curb appeal is severely lacking, no grass in the front and the house needs some maintenance. It was better as you got into the house and the backyard. There is a big game/gathering room for everyone to visit while overlooking backyard and pool. We could never get the WiFi on the tv to work. We were very close to the airport but was still quiet inside the house. It was nice to have toilet paper, paper towels and dish soap already there. When we arrived there were ducks taking up residence in the backyard and lots of poop. The owners sent someone over immediately to clean it up. After some research, I discovered keeping balls floating in the pool kept them away. The owners provided them right away. The kitchen was stocked with lots of glasses and dishes, would be nice to have big serving bowls and platters. Also, more blankets for the bedrooms would be nice. If you plan on bringing your dogs, you may need to walk them fortheir potty needs as there was no grass in the back yard. All in all a good place to stay and felt like the price was okay.
The hosts were very responsive and extremely easy to work with. Their check-in and check-out instructions were very clear and easy to follow. They let us know dates when maintenance was going to be done (trash cans taken out, pool maintenance, etc..)
The house itself is well-stocked.
* Plenty of towels, dishes, glasses for our party of 9 (6 adults and 3 kids).
* The beds were extremely comfortable.
* Two great indoor living areas for socializing
* Pool was in great shape with plenty of pool toys to enjoy
* Tons of outdoor seating
* Well-stocked kitchen
We were thrilled with this rental for our family Christmas celebration! Highly recommend!
