Excellence at its finest!

This home was absolutely perfect for our family of 7. We had a graduate from Ringling college and the proximity to her was perfect! The owners/Host go above and beyond to make sure your stay is a most memorable one. The pool is clean and inviting, kitchen is equipped with all you need. We were within a 10 minute drive to N. Lido beach which offers public parking. House had bath, pool and beach towels provided also a bin with noodles, boogie boards and beach toys. The screened front porch was thoroughly enjoyed, especially for morning coffee. We were sad to leave this home that we had the privilege of making ours for one week. We cant wait to come back!!! Thank you for providing the perfect space for us to make unforgettable memories!

Family Vacay

Our stay was amazing. Everything worked as it should. We spent a couple hours each night playing games. The pool was amazing and we went swimming all the time. The location is great everything we needed was within a couple of miles. The host's are great and very helpful if you are in need of anything. The beach is about a 10 minute drive to Lido.

Wonderful family set up. The hosts are great and the house is well equipped. The pool is lovely and a beautiful setting, especially in the evening. The house is in an historical area and parks and groceries are in walking distance (under a mile). We would stay there again.

Best Vacation Ever

Gabby and John are very nice and welcoming people and are the absolute best. The place was very nice and clean very home like with very friendly and quiet neighborhood. Access to beaches was very close and this being the first time my kids had been to the beach and they absolutely loved it. My husband and John reconnected after all these years from being out of the army and he was ecstatic to see his brother again. I would absolutely recommend anyone that wanted a family oriented getaway to stay at there place. Thank you John and Gabby for everything I am so glad we came there to vacation and it def won’t be the last!

Wonderful place to stay

My husband and I are retirees who stayed here for three weeks and thoroughly enjoyed every minute despite the poor weather. The house is well laid out, and Gabby and John provided everything we needed. The house is centrally located in Sarasota, and we never drove more than 20 minutes to get to a restaurant or event we wanted to see. The pool was always clean, though I didn't use it as much as I had hoped. The weather wasn't warm enough (for me) to get in until our final week, even though it was heated. There is even a pool alarm, though we chose not to use it. Someone with small children will be thrilled and grateful for this safety feature. We also used the screened-in-front porch to relax in the late afternoon. Gabby and John stayed in touch throughout the visit, so we never had to worry about anything. The only 4-star rating we gave it was for the neighborhood. This house is lovely, as are some others in the area. I'd call it a neighborhood in a comeback phase, but not all the houses are there yet. Happily, there were no loud noises, blaring music, or cars racing up and down the street. We felt secure enough to ask to return in 2025, but unfortunately, our preferred dates were already booked. You, your family, and your dogs will be quite content if you stay here! Our dogs loved the freedom of the fenced yard and happily chased squirrels and lizards without success. We hope you enjoy your vacation as much as we did ours!
