Great Gulf Coast location
This condo is conveniently located in north Sarasota. It's close to almost everything you could want. Despite being just off University Parkway, it was quiet due to the large fountain in the central pond. Condo was comfortable and very well-equipped. Balcony overlooking the pond is a pleasant retreat. The host, Steve, was a pleasure to deal with. He was both proactive in his communications and very responsive when called upon. The only cautions about this condo are that it is on the third floor (up 40 steps - not steep - with 2 landings) and it does not have cable or satellite TV service. If you want live TV there is a limited selection or you have to be comfortable with streaming TV using the internet.

Short rental
Condo was clean and the only problem we had was the TV situation. Listed as three TVs but the one in the living room only worked with a fire stick which we had to purchase.

Excellent Property with Excellent Host
For my first time using VRBO, I could not have been more pleased to have worked with Steve, the property's host. He was an incredible host who was communicative and accommodating. The property was as described and offered the right setting for our 2 month stay. I strongly recommend working with this host and staying at this property if you will be in Sarasota, Florida.

Clean Condo in Great Location
Clean, well stocked and comfortable condo in an excellent location. Good restaurants and grocery store within a 5 minute walk. The amenities and landscaping within a secure gated location are well maintained. Please note that it is a 3rd floor condo if steps are an issue for you. The owner was easy to contact and is very responsive for questions or any issues. My wife who is admittedly picky suggests a refresh on couch pillows and bed linens. Although, they are clean. They are showing wear.

Felt like a vacation at a beautiful resort
Owner was extremely friendly and helpful. Condo was a wow from moment I entered. Beautiful pool with loads of friendly people. Would have loved to buy there but nothing for sale. Convenient to airport, shopping and beaches. Even had beach chairs and umbrella!

This was a great location. The pool area was very good. The condo was a very good lay out. Steve was quick to replace the fry pans. And get the WiFi fixed when it went down one day. Floors could have been cleaner. Overall great place.

My husband and I loved our “ Home Away From Home “ for 5 weeks!
Our Condo was perfect. It was beautifully decorated, nice and quiet complex, and we loved the pool. It is close to every store and restaurant you would ever need. We enjoyed beach hopping... no more than a 30 minute drive. Steve was great to work with too!

The very best of the best that VRBO has to offer!
Our stay was wonderful in this spectacular condo that is centrally located to all that the Sarasota area has to offer. It is tastefully furnished and decorated and very clean. You can see from the terrace and windows two fountains in the lake that light up at night. They are beautiful and the sound is very calming.
What made this stay so special was the extraordinary customer service we received from Steve. He was positively marvelous, from leaving us small necessities in the kitchen and bathrooms to making sure everything was clean and laundered even on short notice. I have never known anyone who wanted the people who were staying at his condo to feel more at home. He is an "ultra super” host and we will definitely come back!
