Two retired couples sharing home

This home was lovely! Well maintained and stocked with all we needed. The outdoor area, pool and gas grill were a bonus. Enjoyed immensely. The bedroom set up of opposite sides of house worked perfectly for two separate family units! Communication between owners/manager was fast and appreciated! Thank you for sharing your home!

Nothing less than spectacular —everything about the experience was terrific

A plus plus — the owners we great to deal with and their local property manager was terrific. I had trouble getting the heat on in the hot tub the first day and he was extremely responsive — and got it working within 10 minutes. In short, anyone would be extremely fortunate to get an opportunity to rent this property!!

Fabulous house and location

The house, the location and the pool we’re beyond our expectations. Everything was perfect we had the most relaxing month with my daughters and granddaughters. I can’t speak highly enough for the amenities and preparation.

One of the best rental properties in Florida

The property was much better than even the pictures on VRBO. The owner and the manager could not have been any better. They were very attentive and their priority was to make our stay there the very best it could be. One small problem was handled immediately. The bikes and beach supplies were an added bonus. Our grandchildren visited us for a week during the two months we were there, and even though we had all kinds of plans for them for the week, they did not want to leave the beautiful pool and home. We have rented on the beach in the past, but after being in this home and in University Park we will be doing differently from now on. Sylviane was a pleasure to work with and hope to be able to return to this property in the future.

The perfect Sarasota vacation property

This lovely home in University Park is in the best location in Sarasota for dining, sightseeing, theatre, shopping etc. The home is furnished and decorated beautifully, not as a rental but as a comfortable home away from home, with all the amenities one could want. We would recommend it highly.

AMAZING VACATION

The pictures of this house do not do it justice, we were so impressed when we arrived. The home is not only clean but beautifully decorated as well. Our children loved the beautiful pool and enjoyed swimming in it daily. The layout of the house was very nice and spacious and the master suite was just amazing. The home is located in a very nice gated community, the community itself was just as beautiful as the home, everything is well kept and the landscaping is absolutely beautiful. The house is located very close to a new beautiful mall and plenty of other shops and restaurants, as well as the many beautiful beaches there that were only 15-20 mins away. The homeowner was amazing and answered any and all questions we had. I would definitely recommend this home to anyone and can't wait to go back to visit again.

Great location for a family trip!

We had a great trip with family! Everything was well put together and welcoming. From early morning swims to grilling out to riding bikes in the neighborhood - we enjoyed everything this house had to offer. The pool was a constant source of entertainment for the kids and the adults enjoyed the comfy seating around the pool. The master bedroom and bath are huge and definitely provided a great quiet side of the house. Having grown up in Sarasota- this was the first time we had to rent a place 'at home', but we hope to make this our 'home' for a week or two next summer too.

Gepflegtes, gemütliches und ansprechendes Ferienhaus, in dem man sich wohlfühlen kann.

Haus sehr gepflegt, Bäder bei dem Zimmern ( ausser Mastersuite) leider viel zu klein. Was nicht in Ordnung ist, die die Kamera bei Pool, die ständig aktiv ist.
