The house offers a lot of high end luxury. We had a very relaxing time and though our kids enjoyed their stay I recommend it to families with teens or no kids at all. I had to move lots of art pieces from reach of my toddler

Great place!

The house is just as it is in the listing. Very close to the airport so when you’re by the pool it can get loud, but I didn’t really hear much noise at night or super early in the morning while sleeping. The space is very comfortable. The kitchen is upstairs. There’s 3 sitting areas. Nice neighborhood, across the street from the bay, not too far from beaches. Nice stay overall!

Great find

Great location, quiet neighborhood, house could use some updating, pool area nice, pool not heated so too chilly for our time there. Not much hot water, only 4 of us showering and ran out before first two showers completed, not sure how 8 people would do. House is close to airport so lots of planes overhead but pretty quiet at night. Having a working grill was a plus, overall we had a pleasant stay!

Great place to relax

First time in Sarasota and we loved it. The location is very quiet and relaxing. Short drive to beaches and restaurants. The house was exactly as described on the website. The only thing we missed is teapot. We definitely would recommend this place!

Beautiful home safe area

Nice area and absolutely beautiful home with so many ammenities Absolutely gorgeous home. So many amenities and what we couldnt find was either sent to us or we were told where to find it. They left us things we wouldn't have thought to pack like dish soap, laundry, detergent, spices. The pictures do not do this home justice. It's amazing. We walked to the bay a d put the kayak in. They left us life vests and the pool has its own vacuum that walks around the pool and vacuums intermittently. So no need to worry about it getting dirty. Beds are very comfortable and theres a firepit in the yard and a propane o e on the balcony. There's a gas grill and a small charcoal grill. Everything you could ask for.
