Holidays on the Bay

We stayed here between Christmas and NYE while visiting my brother’s family who live in Sarasota. The location couldn’t have been better. The host is excellent with communication and tips. The layout was perfect for multiple families. The large patio/deck and heated pool were a huge hit and of course the views were gorgeous! We even got to watch the latest SpaceX launch from afar from the front patio. Great experience at this property. Will definitely use again.

Great host and great house for family

We had three families staying here for a gymnastics competition and the house was great. Lots of room with a great view. Bob was a great host who communicated regularly. Would highly recommend for any family get away. The beach is a short drive away.
