This VRBO was perfect for our group. It is in a great location and only 5 minutes to Siesta Key. The house was clean and the beds were so comfortable. Quite neighborhood. We had a good laugh at a few raccoons in the backyard chasing a lizard! We would definitely stay here again. If you can visit Detwiler’s Farmers Market you won’t regret it. Amazing food and groceries. Thank you again Melissa

Great Stay in a Great Location

Our group of 5 retirees were in the area to watch Spring Training Baseball. The house met all of our needs, clean, well stocked, reliable WiFi, big screen Smart TV, etc. We didn’t realize the location was so close to numerous restaurants within walking distance (~1/2 mile). Will definitely look to rent again in the future.

Had a great time!

I stayed here for a girls weekend and we all had a great time. The house was very clean and spacious. We loved the screened in back porch. The house was just as advertised and the check in process was simple. The owner was even able to accommodate our request for an earlier check in time due to a flight change. The owner was an extremely fast and efficient communicator. I highly recommend staying here!

Clean, comfortable, and great location!

This house was extremely clean. It had 4 roomy bedrooms. The driveway was wide enough for 3 cars side by side. The house was conveniently located to many amenities and only 15-20 minutes to Siesta Keys beach. It was in a very quiet neighborhood! We were thankful for the fenced in back yard for the dog and the lanai was very comfortable.

A wonderfully gracious host.

We booked this property on short notice, due to an unexpected death in the family. This clean, comfortable home met our needs -- and beyond. It was a lovely place for us to gather at the end of several emotional and high-stress days to decompress and support one another during a very difficult time. Melissa couldn't have been more responsive and kind -- an extra-ordinary host. We would definitely come back.
