Beautiful house with a beautiful view.
Spanish style house with an amazing bay view and gorgeous sunsets. The screened pool and patio area are excellent for relaxing. Inside the house is comfortable and beautifully decorated, with an awesome kitchen. The only problem is when the flight pattern from Sarasota airport sends noisy take offs out over the bay. Overall we had a wonderful stay.

A Perfect place to Stay
Although the furniture style wasn’t to our liking, we overlooked that fact to enjoy the spacious size of the home, the modern efficient kitchen, and a view to die for. Everything in the home met our needs. The pool was clean, the management company was spacious, and all our needs were met by the management company. We didn’t want to leave the lanai area. Our only minor complaint was that the pillows were too soft. We’d definitely return to this mansion on the bay again.

Beautiful sunsets every night
This is a grand home overlooking Sarasota Bay. We enjoyed watching waterfowl in the morning on the oyster beds when the tide was out, and glorious sunsets over the bay in the evening. The home is best suited for adults who enjoy peace and quiet as it is situated in a quiet neighborhood. We are definitely looking forward to our next stay!
