I love when a VRBO’s description and photos are exactly as shown on the VRBO site. This was definitely not a catfish property! This home was super clean and updated! This was our second time staying. We would definitely stay again!

We greatly enjoyed our stay. We had a large group and the kitchen met our needs as we were able to prepare several meals with ease. I would say that the dish soap in the kitchen and the bathroom soap/body wash/conditioner dispensers were not nearly fell enough to accommodate a group of 8. We had to go to the store and purchase shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and toilet paper to accommodate our week long stay. Communication with the host was wonderful and I would recommend this property to others.

We didn’t have pets but the house is very pet friendly with a fenced back yard. The house is clean and everything works perfectly. Good WiFi, premium cable tv and cold a/c. Close to Sarasota Airport! Nine of us were happy and comfortable.

Convenient, Clean & Comfy

We booked this property for a weekend stay during an event at Nathan Benderson Park. The location was very convenient to the park. The home was extremely comfortable, clean and tastefully furnished. We didn’t have time to enjoy the back yard or the game room, but these amenities would make it very enjoyable for a family stay. I would stay here again for future visits. The property manager was extremely responsive and helpful!
