Overall great place. Pool and spa were wonderful! Was a bit surprised at how close the airport was, but I may have missed that somewhere. I was still able to relax and nap floating in the pool. :)

House máster bedroom and living room needs improvement a little to old and smell like 1800s and rugs by the pool we had to wash some because it was full of mildew other then that the rest of the house was good it’s a good place neighborhood was so quite great for walking. Bay within walking distance stores of any kind was very close I recommend it.

Thanks for the review- we're so glad to hear you enjoyed your stay and would recommend it to others. We appreciate your feedback also and will look into the items mentioned right away- it was wonderful to host you.
Location was easy to get to and in a very nice area. Close to the Sarasota airport. Very close to a lot of activities and restaurants. Great neighborhood to take walks in. Rooms and bathrooms were great size. Very accommodating for elderly or physically challenged individuals. Kitchen was great and stocked with anything you may need. Outdoor was great with a nice surprise of all the trees in the back yard. Very welcoming. Would definitely stay again. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

Thank you for staying with us Nicole. We would love for you to stay again in the future.
Very nice and comfortable home, but took a little while to get used to the airplanes. Only disappointment was the spa did not get warm. Great location for touristing around Sarasota area!
From start to finish this rental was 5 starsGreat communication to understand what was provided what to expect it made the whole process as easy as it could be. Conveniently located near the airport and major roads Home is very clean, and kitchen has everything you could possibly need Would highly recommend

It's great to know that our communication and the home's location and amenities met your expectations. We hope to welcome you back for another stay in the future!
The house is perfect. And the pool was clean and very nice. However, we couldn’t find extra sheets, some furnitures are very old and one of the dresser was broken, almost hit my little niece. The house location is fine. We enjoyed our stay.

We look forward to hosting you next time and thanks for the review!
The house and pool area were perfect for a quick vacation. We spent all day every day outside. Location was easy to get to restaurants and beaches. Super close to the airport. Air traffic noise was pretty constant during the day but it didn’t bother us. Rental company was very responsive when we had to call with an internet issue and everything was taken care of over the phone. We would definitely return!
This location was conveniently located to all of the sites and attractions that we wanted to visit. Everything was within a 15 minute drive. The house was in a quiet neighborhood. The home offered the most comfortable beds. Home offers tons of space so you don't feel on top of each other. The outdoor seating was very comfortable and roomie. The communication with the management property was easy and very responsive to all of my questions. I would recommended staying here during your visit to Sarasota.

Thank you for your comments! We enjoyed hosting you
We loved the property. Super happy with host and responses to our questions.
Only drawback was cleaning crew showed up early and we felt like they were being pushy.
I relayed that info to host and felt like she responded to the situation to ensure it would not happen again.

Thanks for the review! We're so glad you enjoyed your stay. We were able to speak with the cleaners who did not intent to make you feel rushed and will adjust their procedures for future. It was a pleasure hosting you!
The home was clean and checkin was easy. The air conditioner did not work when we arrived, however a quick call to the property manager and they had someone out within an hour to fix it. The location is great and the neighborhood is very peaceful and close to all the beaches. The only issue we had was the patio area was really slick when your feet are wet. Overall it was a great place and we would definitely stay at this location again.

Thanks so much for the review, Kortney- we appreciate your feedback and glad you enjoyed your stay!
I would highly recommend this home as a place to stay. The neighborhood is nice. The home is cozy and well kept. It is very close to the Sarasota airport which means you do have planes flying overhead at various times of day. This did not bother us but if your someone who wants complete quit that is something to consider. It was also a great place for our dog as you had a nice fenced yard area in the back. The best thing was the screened in lanai area. Very spacious with the pool and spa that allows you to enjoy the outside without getting eaten up by FL mosquitos.
