Five days with my daughter and grandson
We were in Sarasota for a Teen program at Ringling College of Art and Design. The house was near Ringling and in a lovely neighborhood near the water. The house was clean, well equipped, and we liked the lay out of the rooms. The pool was warm and so much fun for all of us. We would love to stay here again sometime.

Cute, convenient, clean and cozy
This is a very nice house in a quiet neighborhood. Not walkable to any beaches but convenient driving to dining, Lido key, downtown and SRQ. The pool and spa are very nice. Beds are comfortable and house is very well equipped for guests. Very small critiques would be that 1/2 of the overhead fans did not work and the spa directions were dated/not accurate. Overall this was a wonderful experience and we would definitely rent again.

Great place for family vacation!
We spent a week here enjoying the pool with our grandkids. The outdoor seating and dining area is perfect for watching the kids in the pool, playing games at the table and relaxing in the evening. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking or grilling out. Add to that the great proximity to Lido Key and Siesta Key and you have the perfect vacation. Would definitely come back again!

Comfy place
My husband, two kids and I stayed and had a relaxing vacation. The pool and hot tub were great, and the outside seating area was perfect for our needs. Kitchen is well stocked with spices and supplies. Easy access to the airport and not far from many great attractions.

Disappointed
The home did not meet our expectations. It could use some overall cleaning and repairs.The pool and hot tub wasn't usable (no heated water or consistently working pump), even after a technician visit. Management wasn't aware the breaker to the pool wasn't on until after notification on check-in. The binder did not have information about check in/out procedures or pool/hot tub instructions.

Great place to call home
We stayed a week at this house. Very clean upon arrival. The adult bedrooms are on opposite sides of the home, nice for personal privacy. The child/single bedroom is centrally located. Adults could enjoy the patio while kids napped or went to bed for the night. Pleasant neighborhood great for walks. Quick drive to all Sarasota must sees and easy trip to Siesta keys. Always a quick response for questions. management. GREAT STAY!
