Pickle ball house
We had a fabulous trip to Sarasota. We used the backyard pool, putting green and pickle ball court all day every day! The bed rooms were beautifully decorated with really updated bedding and kitchen was well stocked. The hosts responded quickly to any questions. We would recommend this property!

Wonderful property!
This rental is fantastic! The house is beautiful and just as shown in the photos. The bedrooms are nicely decorated and the beds are very comfortable. Everything you can need for meals and entertainment is provided. Our whole crew loved the pool and the fun the backyard games. The location provides easy access to all Sarasota attractions, but with so much to do you may never leave the house! If you get a chance, walk to the authentic Cuban restaurant (Mirna’s) at the end of the road.

Beautiful Home and Perfect Getaway
We booked this house for our family vacation for 12. We had 9 adults, 1 teen, and 2 kiddos, and it was perfect for us all. The house is beautiful and well kept and has everything you can think for entertainment and comfort. The owners communication throughout the process was excellent and I highly recommend this property. We can’t wait to visit again!

Great experience
The hosts were very responsive and extremely easy to work with. Their check-in and check-out instructions were very clear and easy to follow. They let us know dates when maintenance was going to be done (trash cans taken out, pool maintenance, etc..)
The house itself is well-stocked.
* Plenty of towels, dishes, glasses for our party of 9 (6 adults and 3 kids).
* The beds were extremely comfortable.
* Two great indoor living areas for socializing
* Pool was in great shape with plenty of pool toys to enjoy
* Tons of outdoor seating
* Well-stocked kitchen
We were thrilled with this rental for our family Christmas celebration! Highly recommend!

Best VRBO experience in 10 years
For the past 10+ years our family has been staying at rental homes once or twice per year. This property was everyone's favorite by far! Five stars for all of the following: excellent communication with the owner; best equipped kitchen-perfect for people who love to cook and eat in; mattresses and linens in all rooms were high quality; layout was ideal for children as children's room (bunk beds that could sleep 3) shared an adjoining bathroom with a king size bed room and what an amazing double shower; pool was perfect temperature (very reasonable heating charge), clean, and well-maintained; two grills, gazebo, and outdoor seating (including poolside chairs) for at least 12 provided a nice spot to finish our evenings poolside; pickleball court was a favorite for all; air hockey and Foosball tables were like new; good sized tv in all rooms and large tv in game room for "movie" night and a PS5 that thrilled our teen sons; less than 10 minutes from Sarasota airport which created some plane noise, but we quickly stopped noticing it; short 10-20 minute drive to most Sarasota beaches and restaurants (Siesta Key was our favorite); four comfortable beach chairs, umbrellas, beach mat & wagon were a pleasant surprise and came in handy during our beach visits. This property was well worth the price paid and we are already making plans to return next year. If you decide to rent and enjoy authentic Cuban food, highly recommend the small Cuban restaurant about 200 yards from the house.

Great Birthday Getaway!
We arrived late after midnight so it was technically my sons 12th birthday!! We were surprised when we balloons from the owners. I had mentioned that we would be celebrating his birthday and they went out of the way to make it special. So so thoughtful. The house was stocked better than any home we’ve stayed in. It definitely has everything you could need. The back yard was so awesome my kids didn’t even want to leave to go to dinner. We cooked it and enjoyed Pickle-ball, the pool and golf! PS 5 was also a big hit with the teens! We had plenty of room for everyone, bedding and beds were comfy. So many regular and pool towel! The beach cart was also so helpful. The only complaints we had were the thermostat was on a timer and password protected. The Air in the play room wouldn’t go below 78 for longer than an hour then change back. The house was a bit hot and we woke up multiple times to have to change it. We loved our stay and we definitely want to come back! Thanks for having us.
