We used the pool and hot tub every day. It's a backyard oasis. The 2 outdoor sitting areas with TVs in the back were nice as well. The kitchen was well stocked and organized for any kind of cooking and the gas grill worked well. We enjoyed and used the coffee bar for relaxing mornings. Keep in mind that the 3rd bedroom is a walk-through path to the backyard, but at night at work fine as a bedroom. The decor was cute and the furniture nice and substantial. A great rental!.

Paradise near Siesta Key
This home and property exceeded all expectations from the exceptional owners and their quick and thorough communication throughout the entire week to the unbelievably beautiful home that we had the privilege of enjoying all week. It was spotless, and every accommodation was made for their guests. Outside of the home was a paradise. The gorgeous pool with all the outside pool toys along with two outdoor TVs was one of the highlights. The owners provided beach chairs and towels, and shampoo and conditioner in all the bathrooms including the outside shower, which, by the way, was phenomenal! We will definitely stay here again. Five stars!!

Comfortable home with great outdoor space
The Funky Fish House was a great home base for a week close to the Sarasota beaches. The outdoor space is fantastic, with a terrific pool, lots of comfortable and well-maintained seating, and plenty of room to spread out. We appreciated the variety of pool floats, beach chairs, and sand toys too. We traveled with two children, ages 8 and 11. The only way to access the backyard space from the house is through the third bedroom, and there is direct access to the pool. The property photos show this, but for folks who may be visiting with younger children, this could be a safety consideration to keep in mind. The kitchen was well stocked (we appreciated having a few K-Cups ready to go!), there were plenty of towels, and the beds were comfy. The owners and property manager were also very responsive and quick to help with a couple of issues that popped up.Thank you!

Beautiful Home!
This was a beautiful home, tastefully decorated, and close to everything in Sarasota and the keys. We particularly loved that it had all the things we usually have to get ourselves when renting a place (ie paper towels, toilet paper, dish soap, coffee pods, half and half, etc). Mad it that much easier to just get there and relax. Pill and hot tub were clean and inviting. We didn’t end up cooking on the BBQ grill but it was there if we wanted it. Great outdoor space covered from the elements. Spend a lot of time out there playing cards. ROKU tvs made it easy to watch our regular shows and to quickly log out of all applications when we left. Would stay there again if heading to the Sarasota area!

Amazing vacation oasis
Our stay at the Funky Fish House was an amazing experience! We will definitely be coming back. The listing images for the home are an accurate depiction of the home. The home has everything that you will need for the kitchen, bath, pool, even grilling. A lot of attention and love has gone into designing and decorating this home. The appliances are upscale and everything is well taken care of. You can tell that this is not a basic rental but the owner's dream getaway. The house is wonderful, but the pool/back is an oasis! The heated salt water pool is amazing, along with the hot tub, outdoor shower, back patio – all surrounded by a tall privacy fence. My wife and I went for our anniversary and it was like our own little paradise! The house is on a very quite street, there are plenty of restaurants nearby and just a few miles from the beach.

The property is very nicely organized. Good for 5 people max. The kitchen is fun to use, brand new and well equipped. We cooked all our dinners as a family and we weren't missing anything.
Communication with Cliff and Hannah was easy and any question was answered instantly. They are putting in a pool currently that once complete will be an absolute additional blast to this property.
We would use this home again.

As advertised
Location was close to key tourist areas without beach front prices. The house was updated recently and decorated nicely. The linens on the beds were amazingly soft and the kitchen was fully stocked with cook gear. Owners were very attentive and easily reachable. The automated lock on the front door quick working and a text and 15 min later it was resolved.
