Went on vacation with the family and my cousin's family to explore the Sarasota area. The home is in a great spot if you have transportation. Ana Marie, Siesta, Longboat, Lido Keys, Braydenton Beach and St Armand circle all within an hours drive. ( we did scenic, slower roads) It's in a great neighborhood close to good restaurants, grocery stores and shopping. The house itself was amazing! Wonderful and spacious, the pool area was where we spent most of the time. Clean pool, solid grill and outdoor TV, comfy sitting/dining area. The kitchen was fully stocked! didn't need a thing. Pizza pan, pizza slicer, peeler, measuring cups etc. The owners really paid attention to every detail, including decor, info books, beach chairs and umbrellas. We actually discussed buying the house to retire in the area! Will definitely come back again. Loved it.
