This house was amazing! It's everything it says it was and more. I used to live in Sarasota, and this location is ideal. Not far from the beaches but close to shopping at UTC ( University Town Center) and the brand new Mote Aquarium. During our stay we saw all kinds of birds including a flock of about 40 green parrots, and three cranes that walked by daily once right up by the screen by the pool. The view of the canal and golf course with all the trees was so beautiful.The kitchen was so big! We love to cook when we're on vacation and we had three people in the kitchen working at different stations with plenty of room. The bedrooms were large and comfortable, and the living room was large with the great wrap around couch. The pool table was such a bonus.I cannot say enough about the pool! It was large and it was heated she's such a great temperature that it felt amazing. There was plenty of outdoor seating and we loved this swing.Check in and check out was seamless and easy! We have rented houses and stayed in Sarasota to visit our family there several times, and we will absolutely be renting this house before any others if it's available. I will come here again and again. My husband and I actually commented that we wished we had this house when we lived in Sarasota. If the owner ever wants to sell I hope he calls us first. I highly recommend this house.
