We had a great week at this lovely house. Close driving range to all the local beaches. Lots to do around Sarasota. The covered pool and porch was fantastic. Quick response by our hosts. Would definitely recommend.
Who stayed in touch with us? Property was good. The experience was good.

Thank you for the perfect 5 star review. We were so happy you chose our property. And we hope for the chance to host you next time you visit Sarasota.

This house was perfect for us. The kitchen was well appointed and there was a brand new grill. The pool area was great for lounging and outdoor eating and the backyard was perfect for the doggo. The location was excellent, a 10 minute walk to Indian Beach for the sunset. We rent in Sarasota every March for the month and this was our favorite rental so far.

Thank you so very much for the 10/10 review. I’m so happy to read that this is your favorite rental in Sarasota so far. If you all are planning to come back please let me know dates now so I can block it for you. We prioritize returning guests. We keep our prices lower than the other homes in the neighborhood so we can accommodate families like yours. It was such a joy knowing how much your group enjoyed walking to the little neighborhood beach. That is my favorite at sunset over the bay. Can’t wait to host you next year. And let me know if you think of anything we can do to improve your stay. We do try to get better every year with guests requests. Thanks again!
House and neighborhood was fantastic!Host was super quick with response and suggestions.We loved our stay!- Kym, Jeanne, Cindy and Lisa

I’m so thrilled you 4 ladies each had your brown room and had such a great time in Sarasota and overall fun girls trip.
There really is so much to see and do in addition to using the pool and of course the close beach. You all really seemed to have fun and that is what it’s all about. We hope to host you again.
House was perfect size for our family and the pool area was great. Location is close to everything.

Thanks Celia
We hear that a lot. Being a 5 min drive to everything is super helpful during snow bird season bookings when the drive goes to 10 or 15 min to get places. It’s just a really great location. And pedestrian friendly to walk to the Starbucks one block over or the bay beach 4 blocks away. Both super great for morning walkers. We’re so happy you loved the house and can’t wait to see you back next year! Safe travels.
Elicia
This house was the perfect spot for our family vacation. Elicia was wonderful to communicate with, and she responded promptly when we had a little snafu (locked ourselves out one evening!).. would stay here again in a heartbeat, everything was great.
This property is great for all ages. The location is nice and the atmosphere is cozy. We were not too far from Tampa and so close to the Lido Beach. We enjoyed our trip and will definitely think about booking here again!

Charles - thank you again for choosing the pool house. People often fly into Tampa because it’s only an hour -ish to get up there to spend a day there St Pete or even go to see the Crystal River and kayak with manatees (so amazing highly recommend) We thank you for the fantastic review and are beyond thrilled you want to come back. Reminder to book early. The busy season books sometimes a year in advance.
We really enjoyed the property location, which allowed for nightly walks through a charming neighborhood to see the sunset over the beach. It is also convenient to the main thoroughfare and key attractions. Large backyard, plus room to spread out inside the house. Wonderful stay!

Thank you Alison for the 5 star review. These are so appreciated.
We do love our little Bayshore neighborhood. And it is finally almost back to normal from the 2024 hurricanes. Just a few more fences along the path to repair etc. we were so lucky to only lose our fence and pool cage and already have the new fence installed and new pool cage to go in in May of 2025. We are loooking forward to your next visit and you can check it out then.
Great accommodations with 4 generous bedrooms, indoor laundry, inground pool and on-site parking. We were able to cook most meals in the kitchen and attended many area attractions. 4 adults and 2 children under 12. October 2025. Although host had no control- the weather was beautiful!
It was a great place to stay. Have been coming to Sarasota for more than twenty years we will stay here every time we come back if we can. A great host, house and location. Exceptionally clean and comfortable. Pool was great! Close to everything we enjoy doing and great neighborhood to walk our dog. Staying here again next spring.
This was a perfect place for my sisters and their husbands as we stayed in Sarasota for a week to celebrate our parents' 60th anniversary. The pool was a bonus. The living room and back porch with a nice table is perfect for morning coffee and family conversations.

Thanks for the 5 stars Lauri!!!
We do try hard and it is so awesome when guests take time to let us know they like the house and the location. The new pool cage is going in next month. It has been on back order since Hurricane Milton. We also have a brand new privacy fence that has just gone in and makes the back yard while so close to the city still feel so private and contained. We are so happy you chose this property.
See ya next year!
We had a great stay. The pool isn't heated so we couldn't enjoy it and the mattresses definitely need updating but all in all it was a great spot for us to spend winter break. Thanks for having us!

I’m really happy you all enjoyed your stay and the location of this house. We have received this positive feedback a lot from guests since we’re within just a couple miles of downtown Sarasota, st Armand’s circle and the gulf beaches. Guests love this location. (Especially now that Starbucks moved in 2 doors down)
Regarding the mattresses, 2 of the 4 are new the one in the master is new last year. It’s such a personal preference we tried to get one’s that are firm yet have a soft topper. If you come back let me know the issue and I can send you an extra mattress pad if that is your preference or have them switched between the rooms if you like one more than the other.
Comfy beds is important to us.
Hope to have you back next year!
Very spacious home with a beautiful pool in the private backyard. The hosts were very responsive! The location is perfect, quiet neighborhood, close to downtown restaurants and shopping! So relaxing!

I hope you come back next year!

This home is in a great location close to the Tamiami Trail. We were able to ride our bikes around the neighborhood and into downtown Sarasota. Our hosts were very responsive and helpful.

You were dream guests please come back next year. Safe travels!
We had an amazing time staying in Sarasota. This home slept my entire family and the kids loved playing in the pool. The owners did an excellent job of accommodating us and communicating with us. We would recommend staying here.

Thanks for the nice review. This means so much to us since we try so hard to please.
Please come back next year. We enjoyed hosting your family.
We attended a family wedding and needed a place that would house 7 adults. The pool and easy access to the beautiful beaches made the house a perfect pick. The entire process was convenient and communications with the property manager was without issue. We would return without hesitation.

And yes the house easily holds 7 or 8 people. And you had perfect weather for your wedding and using the pool.
Thank you for being such amazing guests.

My family and I enjoyed the location, the home, and the host was very easy to communicate with. We thoroughly enjoyed this stay and will be back again! It was clean and stocked with necessitates such as bath towels and first samples of laundry, dish detergent, and soap. Close to grocery stores and beaches!!! Great place to stay with a family!
Well maintained, comfortable house. Location is among best in Sarasota. Booked for next year before we started home!

This house is definitely perfect for large groups like yours since everyone has their own bedroom closet( and 2 full baths.) Yes. Can’t beat the location for being 5 min from everything. Which helps especially when there’s in season traffic. We’re looking forward to hosting you all again next year. Thank you again for being such great guests.
About the host
Hosted by EMV Ringling, LLC
We purchased this house in 2013 to rent to our daughter and her friends at the Ringling College of Art and Design. Before the kids moved in, we decided to rent the house to vacationers. We had such a good experience, and received such good feedback, that we are moving our daughter to another house nearby and are opening up the pool house for vacation guests starting in September, 2015.
Why they chose this property
This house is a great value for couples or families who want to be in the heart of Sarasota, close to all the best that Florida has to offer, without the high cost of a condo on the beach. Walking distance to the bay, and less than 2 miles from St. Armand's Circle.
What makes this property unique
In the middle of a quiet neighborhood, this house has plenty of room to spread out, and plenty of spots to relax: sitting in the comfortable chairs on the deck, sitting in the family room, or lounging in the pool. It is a great place to vacation with family or friends.
