We loved our time at the Pink Flamingo!! We had plenty of room for the 9 family members that stayed and guests to visit as well. The screened in pool area was our favorite hangout.

The Pink Flamingo was a nice place for us to stay for the weekend. Everyone was comfortable and the pool was nice. Tho only negatives to report were the internet didn't work at all during our stay. This affected the TV as well. And the couple in the second master bedroom felt that the mattress could be replaced. The house was nicely furnished and Everyone said they enjoyed their stay.

Nice Getaway

My family and I came for a week to celebrate New Year's Eve and a Birthday. We are very COVID conscious and looking for a home where we could stay and enjoy the Florida weather. The house was great for that, we enjoyed the pool, playing games that we had brought, and the subscriptions on the TV. There were only 4 of us although the house has room for more. However, there was not enough toilet paper, shampoo or conditioner for us. Yvonne was very responsive and was helpful with any questions that we had. Overall, we had a great stay and the property meet all of our needs.

Great for family vacation

We had a fabulous week while we were vacationing in the Siesta Key area. This property is a short drive to Siesta Key Beach and many of the other areas we wanted to visit in the Sarasota area. It was in a fabulous neighborhood and was close to all of the main roads. The house was well stocked with everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Kitchen had plenty of everything and there were plenty of beach towels, bath towels, bedding items and beach supplies. It had plenty of kitchen, dining and living room seating areas for a large group. We paid an additional fee to have the pool heated and it was well worth the extra cost as everyone in our group enjoyed the private pool. I would highly recommend this home to anyone wanting to take a family vacation to the Sarasota area. It is also less than a 30 minute drive from the Sarasota airport.
