About this property

Paws and Play - Winter Escape. Heated pool, fenced yard, game room, fab location

  • Welcome to our family and pet friendly retreat in sunny Sarasota.

    This home is professionally decorated with a coastal design to give you a peaceful and relaxing vacation. It's the perfect spot to create family memories and reconnect. The home is outfitted to make the stay of up to 8 guests comfortable and enjoyable, indoors and outdoors.

    Nestled in a quiet, family-friendly residential neighborhood, the home offers the perfect balance of relaxation and convenience. You'll feel tucked away from the hustle and bustle, yet just minutes from an incredible selection of restaurants, grocery stores, entertainment, and world-class shopping at UTC.

    Ready for a beach day? Siesta Key Beach—consistently ranked among the best beaches in the United States—is just a 30-minute drive away. You'll also find several other beautiful Gulf Coast beaches within 20 minutes, making it easy to spend your days soaking up the Florida sunshine and creating unforgettable vacation memories.

    Inside and outside, this home truly has it all. The newly resurfaced, heated pool is the center of the family gatherings. Inflatable toys, balls, noodles and a pool basketball game keep the family entertained! But if you are all about relaxing instead, a spot is reserved for you at the pool lounge chairs. For those who like staying out of the sun, a shaded gathering area outfitted with an outdoor patio set and the outdoor dining table to enjoy al fresco meals is where you’ll want to be.

    Every room in the home has been designed for maximum comfort. The bedrooms feature plush bedding, extra pillows and comfy beds, plus ample storage for your personal belongings. The kitchen is fully stocked with tools to create wonderful meals or quick snacks. Coffee, tea, creamers and sugar are provided to get your stay off to a great start!

    The Master bedroom has a private bathroom with a full size walk-in shower, a walk in closet and a 55" TV. A baby pack-and-play is always available at the property in case your party includes an infant. This room has direct access to the pool!

    The second bedroom has a queen bed and a huge closet. The third bedroom is outfitted with two twin beds and another large closet. These two bedrooms share a full bathroom with shower over a tub. Toiletries including shampoo, conditioner and shower gel are complimentary.

    The living room has a sofa bed that converts into a queen size bed if additional sleeping space is needed. The central location of this room makes it the perfect spot for the 65" Roku TV.

    The garage, with its newly refinished floor, has been converted into a game room with a basketball arcade game and a ping pong table! Books for all ages and board games are also on site. And in case you are looking for a little extra fun, access is provided to the community tennis courts. Rackets and balls provided as well.

    To round it all up, the huge, fully-fenced back yard is the final touch for your relaxing vacation. Let kids and pets run free without worries! Backyard games and a grill are also provided to add to the fun.

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.
