Visiting family at University Park, the location was ideal. The fenced-in backyard was extremely helpful to exercise my golden retriever. The pool area was large and very comfortable. The house was spacious, clean, and modern. Would definitely come back.

This home is amazing. With all the updates and being perfectly furnished this place has everything needed for the whole family including the dog. The fenced in yard is not only perfect for the dog but for added privacy as well. The patio around the pool is very relaxing. The pool itself is clean and the right temperature to float in. Walking distance to stores and restaurants for your last minute needs. I will definitely stay here again.

Our family enjoyed this rental property and its amenities. The pool was very clean, beds comfortable and plenty of room for our family of five. The location is great for food and groceries. Either Siesta Key or Lido beach is a quick drive west. We would stay at this property again.
