Great 3 generation week!!

It was a perfect week. The home was nicely set up with plenty of room for everyone to do their own thing. My granddaughter and fiance` worked from home while there. It is in a perfect location next to Ringling Bros. and close to beaches and nice shopping areas. The screened in pool and patio were very relaxing. I would definitely stay again if in the area. It would be perfect for a family with children also. It is in a very nice area close to the airport.

Lovely Mid-Century in a beautiful neighborhood.

Nicely remodeled Mid-Century home with pool in an eclectic neighborhood. My wife loved walking around and looking at homes that ranged from other mid-century homes to contemporary home to massive mansions. Walk to Ringling Museum and Asolo Theater. Nearby neighborhood park on the bay. Beautiful sunsets.

Location, location

This home is in one of the loveliest neighbourhoods in Sarasota, just a 5 minute walk to the renowned Ringling Museum. The property is completely private and the pool is big, deep and warm (86F), with plenty of pool toys. The master suite has been recently renovated. The best feature of this home is the easy, quick access to a very private, beautiful, sandy beach, perfect for catching the sunset and for children to play in the sand and shallow water.The host was very accommodating when we asked to extend our stay by 1 day, due to a change in travel plans.Unfortunately, the unexpected construction next door of a new house build interfered somewhat with the peace and tranquility of the environment.

Wonderful experience

We spent four weeks at this house and it was wonderful. The pool in the backyard was great. We were located close to all the things we love to do in Sarasota, including music, theater, and museums. The kitchen was well equipped with everything you needed to cook a meal, and the house is close to great restaurants. The pool was perfect, good temperature, and clean,I cannot say enough about the owners. They were so easy to work with, and if something was not in working order and we sent them a text, they responding within a half an hour. They always went the extra mile. When my children came for a visit with their nine month old, I asked the owner if she could direct me to somewhere that rented baby equipment, she said that was not necessary. When we got to the house, she had provided a pack and play, highchair, car seat, beach toys, and flotation devices for the pool.We are looking forward to next year’s visit.

We had a wonderful stay at Christine's home. It was exactly as pictured and well equiped. The kids loved swiming in the pool every day and we loved the safety gate around the pool for the extra piece of mind. The location was great, close to beaches, restaurants, activities, and in a very nice safe feeling neighborhood. Communication was wonderful and she even made sure we had a high chair available to use for our youngest. She also gave us heads up of construction next door but it was really very minimal noise and didnt impact our stay at all. Im so glad we extended our stay an extra day and would definitely rent this home again!

For a spring trip, I always start with what is outdoors at a property. This was a win! Wonderful pool, fun beach access, terrific lanai and large grill. Yayyyy. The grandchildren didn’t want to go anywhere, but they did enjoy Ringling! Christine was quick to respond to our needs and concerns, and was a delight to work with. This was a great property for our family. Thank you!

Our Stay

After hearing about the hurricane that hit the area, I had called to make sure the property was still available. Christine said the property did sustain some damage to the patio area but the house and pool were in good working order. We drove straight from Central NY to Sarasota on Wed (24hrs). The house was in decent condition however the pool and pool area were a mess. Leaves and sand everywhere. The pool had leaves in the bottom and the water was turning green. I called to let them know and they said someone will be there the next day. The pool cleaner didn't show until midday Friday. So we only had use of the pool for a day and a half. I personally had to sweep the pool area because it was so bad. Took my gf and I almost an hour to get it cleaned up. Then we got rushed out by the cleaning person because they had an early check in. I'm glad to know the next renters got a nice clean pool and pool area like we were supposed to have. She did issue a $300 credit which ironically only covers the cleaning fee (which we cleaned) and not the 2 1/2 days i paid to look at a dirty pool.
