Our family had the absolute best time at The Golden Palms! The house had everything you could possibly need. Quick drive to Siesta Key, awesome days by the pool and nights around the fire pit. We loved the pool house out back too! All around perfect spot. Laurie was great with communication and made our stay extra special. Thank you for a great spring break!

Elizabeth I love your photos!! Thank you so much for that nice review of the property :). I am so happy you and your family had such a great time. It was a pleasure hosting you all and we hope you come back to see us again on your next vacation🏖 Have a great day and thank you again....Laurie 🌴
I’m genuinely impressed with this property and how quick and professional our host was in communicating with us. The house is very nice and new, with a beautiful pool to relax in. The pool house in the back has an additional bathroom and there’s a tv outside to watch a movie or play your music while on the water. All rooms were spacious and clean, had comfortable beds and nice shower units. The kitchen is very well stocked and supplied with anything you’ll need. It’s only a short distance to Siesta Key Beach or Lido Key Beach. Plenty of shopping and restaurants in the vicinity. We had a great vacation and definitely will consider staying here again.

Thank you so much David for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the home, especially the high ceilings and kitchen, and that the kids had such a great time in the pool. It also means a lot to know that the cleanliness stood out to you — we take great pride in making sure every guest arrives to a spotless and welcoming space :)
We truly appreciate you choosing to stay with us and would love to host you and your family again anytime!
Our overall stay at this house was fantastic. We were in town for a soccer showcase and the girls thoroughly enjoyed having the hot tub to recover after the games. The amenities were amazing and the rooms and beds were comfortable. They are building a house on the lot next-door so I would just confirm that they are not gonna be doing construction while you’re there. Put over all the proper is absolutely stunning.

Hi Kimberly :)
Thank you for your excellent review. We’re pleased you had a great stay and everyone enjoyed the amenities!
We appreciate your understanding regarding the temporary construction. Your feedback helps us continue improving, and we hope to welcome you back again soon😊🌴
Our stay at this property was exceptional! The house is new, beautifully appointed with all the amenities to make your stay away from pleasant. Laurie was incredibly responsive to questions and really went out of her way to make sure we were happy and comfortable. When we couldn’t get the vacuum to work she immediately sent someone over to vacuum at no cost to us . Not included in the listing are beach chairs, plenty of beach towels, a wagon, small cooler and children’s beach toys. The kitchen includes a rack of spices which was helpful. Thank you Laurie for making our stay great! Hope to come back next year!

It was an absolute pleasure hosting Laura and her family! Communication was excellent from start to finish, and they treated our home with great care and respect. We truly appreciate the kind review they left regarding the home and accommodations. They were thoughtful, courteous, and easy to host in every way. We would gladly welcome them back anytime and highly recommend them to other hosts!
Our weeklong stay with an extended family group of 11 was absolutely perfect! Each couple had their own space complete with bedroom and bathroom. Everything was sparkling clean when we arrived. The bed linens are top notch and everything was so comfortable. The kitchen was fully stocked to do any type of cooking and the outdoor kitchen made it super fun to enjoy snacks by the pool. The pool area itself is amazing. Loved being able to control the temperature of the hot tub and the fire pit in the middle is an incredible feature. The property manager is the best and was in contact with us during the week whenever we had a question. Bathrooms were stocked with toilet paper, tissues, and paper towels in the kitchen which was super helpful. The washer dryer area was also stocked with washer pods and dryer sheets which was great to keep up with beach towels etc. For anyone looking for a high end rental with ALL the amenities and luxury, this is your place. I am a VRBO host as well and I can honestly tell you this place is worth it in every way. Thanks for an amazing stay! We love Sarasota and the proximity to Siesta Key and Lido Key!!

Thank you so much Sarah☺️
This means a lot, especially coming from a fellow host! We’re so happy to hear that your entire group felt comfortable and had the space to relax and enjoy time together.
It’s wonderful that you were able to take full advantage of the home, from the stocked kitchen and outdoor cooking area to the pool, spa, and fire pit—those are some of our favorite features as well. We’re also glad the little touches, like the linens and supplies, helped make your stay that much easier and more enjoyable.
It was an absolute pleasure hosting you and your family, and we really appreciate how communicative and respectful you were throughout your stay. We would love to welcome you back anytime you find yourselves in Sarasota again!
Warm regards,
Laurie 🌴
This brand new house is beautifully appointed with bright pillows/rugs, soft bath/pool towels, board games, spices, Ziploc bags (beyond basic foil/wrap), 6 beach chairs, and toys. A welcome basket of water bottles and pre-cooled AC greeted us.Spacious and perfect for our large intergenerational group—everyone comfortable. Every bedroom has en-suite bath and walk-in closet (some large enough for pack-n-play). Fridge/freezer easily handled our big Walmart stock-up of fresh/frozen food. Oversized washer/dryer and spacious laundry room got heavy use.Property manager Laurie was exceptional—accommodating deliveries, early check-in/out, and super responsive. She even sent a workman on Christmas Eve for a minor plumbing issue. Owners thoughtfully made this first-guest stay truly comfortable.Heated saltwater pool and hot tub were delightful day/night; pool service person lovely. Location near beaches (15-min drive).Minor suggestions: Explain unique plumbing in manual, add local beach/sights info, and include a beach umbrella.We’d love to return! Thank you, Laurie and owners, for a superlative experience!
