This property was wonderful. The owner had beach chairs, a beach wagon, stroller, umbrella, and sand toys that we were able to use. The house was beautiful and the pool was amazing.

Perfect in every way!!

We loved our stay in Sarasota. This home is beautiful, comfortable (beds, couch, throw blankets….everything) and had everything we needed!!! Adorable personal touches like a kitchen towel folded into a bow and a little bow on the toilet tissue! Supplies were arranged in a cute way under the sinks also! My girls loved the illuminated mirror in the hall bath. Everything worked perfectly from the TVs to the washer and dryer. Bikes were enjoyed as was the pool! Everything supplied for beach days. Quiet neighborhood, close to AMI and others. Hosts were responsive and very kind!! We will definitely stay at the Stones home again when we return to Florida.

Beautiful and clean home

We loved this home. Everything was clean and Madelyn was very attentive to every detail. Remembering we were there to celebrate my father's 90th birthday and left him a gift and card. Very thoughtful and we are so appreciative.

This house has it all!

This is one of the best VRBO homes we've ever stayed at. So incredibly thoughtful with the way the home is stocked and ready. Blankets everywhere, great beds, beach supplies galore, plugs and charger ports all over the place. Easy to remember the code to get in, brilliant! Met a few neighbors while we were out and they were very friendly, as were their dogs. 20 minutes away from anything you want to do. Book this house.

A super time in Sarasota!

The check-in/check-out procedure was easy. The listing accurately reflects the property! The property manager Madelyn was great to work with, and responded within minutes of any message. The manager and hosts are extremely accommodating and ensured our stay was phenomenal! The property is ideally situated n eat the airport and close to Sarasota activities and beaches. Lots of local restaurants. Our 2-week stay was awesome!

Perfect property for our stay

Everything was so easy from the moment we booked this property, the owners got back to us immediately with any questions we had. Easy check in with an email prior to our booking with details on accessing the property, even better no keys to worry about just a key pad and code for everyone to come and go as they please. The house itself is on a lovely quiet street, the house has plenty of parking, door code in to house and you step into a lovely bright and airy entrance with all rooms leading off, the master suite is spacious, comfortable and a good size en-suite and closet, the other bedrooms both comfortable with plenty of storage and again plenty of closet space, all decorated beautifully and exceptionally clean. The living space was ample for us as a family, leading into dining area and then the kitchen, again with everything you need for your stay. The pool was a perfect temperature and the outdoor space provided plenty of seating and loungers for everyone, plenty of inflatables for the pool too, the game room was great and we took advantage to improve our table tennis skills, this is a fantastic space if you are there with younger children. The BBQ was great and easy to use, and we enjoyed a few meals seated outside in the early evening sun. Overall our experience was very positive, we couldn’t have asked for more, the property is as seen in the photos, very clean, beautiful decor and provided everything we needed, a five star rating from us, thank you.
