Charming House and Beautiful Pool

Wonderful family set up. The hosts are great and the house is well equipped. The pool is lovely and a beautiful setting, especially in the evening. The house is in an historical area and parks and groceries are in walking distance (under a mile). We would stay there again.

Excellence at its finest!

This home was absolutely perfect for our family of 7. We had a graduate from Ringling college and the proximity to her was perfect! The owners/Host go above and beyond to make sure your stay is a most memorable one. The pool is clean and inviting, kitchen is equipped with all you need. We were within a 10 minute drive to N. Lido beach which offers public parking. House had bath, pool and beach towels provided also a bin with noodles, boogie boards and beach toys. The screened front porch was thoroughly enjoyed, especially for morning coffee. We were sad to leave this home that we had the privilege of making ours for one week. We cant wait to come back!!! Thank you for providing the perfect space for us to make unforgettable memories!

Best Vacation Ever

Gabby and John are very nice and welcoming people and are the absolute best. The place was very nice and clean very home like with very friendly and quiet neighborhood. Access to beaches was very close and this being the first time my kids had been to the beach and they absolutely loved it. My husband and John reconnected after all these years from being out of the army and he was ecstatic to see his brother again. I would absolutely recommend anyone that wanted a family oriented getaway to stay at there place. Thank you John and Gabby for everything I am so glad we came there to vacation and it def won’t be the last!

Awesome stay for family of 5

Our family of 5 had a wonderful stay. The bedrooms & bathrooms are spacious, the main living room is cozy/functional. Our kids really enjoyed the bunk room. We loved the pool and the backyard area. The location is awesome - a quick drive to our favorite spot Lido Beach, close to docks/boat ramps for fishing, close to the grocery store and great restaurants. The hosts were inviting/friendly & available/responsive if we had any needs. We would love to come back to stay again in the future :)

Month in paradise

Gabby and John are great host! Answered all of our questions and concerns in a timely manner.The house was great had a lot of amenities. We loved the heated saltwater pool. Close to the beach and restaurants. Rode our bikes downtown and to the beach. We had our dogs and found very nice dog park in Gillespie park not far from the house. We had wonderful time and would consider staying in your place again.

Wonderful

This was such a nice place to stay! Extremely clean, with all the amenities needed. A few major spices, enough dishes, pots and pans, silverware, beach chairs and umbrellas, etc. Washer and dryer equipped with laundry detergent. Enjoyed the shampoo and shower gel provided. Enough toilet paper, papertowels, dish soap, garbage bags were provided. The pool was very nice, and I loved the fenced in back yard, as we could let our dog have freedom to roam. The screened in front porch was fabulous, as this is where we had coffee every morning, and got to watch the squirrels torment and tease our dog-lol. The air-conditioning worked very well, and cooled off the house quite quickly. The check in process was great, as John met us almost immediately as we pulled in and gave us a tour or the house and backyard. We really did not need to contact the owners for anything, as we did not encounter any problems or needed anything, although when I did need to contact them prior to arrival, I never had any problems. The beaches were a very close drive and no problems finding them. We walked to a couple of places, with one place being about a 12-15 minute walk, and downtown being a 30 minute walk. Whenever we walked, I always felt safe. We would give this place an absolute thumbs up and recommend to anyone. Thank you John and Gabby for sharing your home with us! We really enjoyed our stay!!

Wonderful place to stay

My husband and I are retirees who stayed here for three weeks and thoroughly enjoyed every minute despite the poor weather. The house is well laid out, and Gabby and John provided everything we needed. The house is centrally located in Sarasota, and we never drove more than 20 minutes to get to a restaurant or event we wanted to see. The pool was always clean, though I didn't use it as much as I had hoped. The weather wasn't warm enough (for me) to get in until our final week, even though it was heated. There is even a pool alarm, though we chose not to use it. Someone with small children will be thrilled and grateful for this safety feature. We also used the screened-in-front porch to relax in the late afternoon. Gabby and John stayed in touch throughout the visit, so we never had to worry about anything. The only 4-star rating we gave it was for the neighborhood. This house is lovely, as are some others in the area. I'd call it a neighborhood in a comeback phase, but not all the houses are there yet. Happily, there were no loud noises, blaring music, or cars racing up and down the street. We felt secure enough to ask to return in 2025, but unfortunately, our preferred dates were already booked. You, your family, and your dogs will be quite content if you stay here! Our dogs loved the freedom of the fenced yard and happily chased squirrels and lizards without success. We hope you enjoy your vacation as much as we did ours!

Our stay was amazing. Everything worked as it should. We spent a couple hours each night playing games. The pool was amazing and we went swimming all the time. The location is great everything we needed was within a couple of miles. The host's are great and very helpful if you are in need of anything. The beach is about a 10 minute drive to Lido.

Great fit for our family

The house and pool matched the listed description. It was perfect for our family. We stayed for a month, working remotely and had our adult kids join on weekends. Although most activities nearby aren’t reachable on foot, beaches and restaurants are a short car ride away (downtown-10 minutes, 15 min to Lido Key beach, 20-25 min to Siesta Key beach). We had our dog with us and appreciated the fenced yard and screened in porch. Enjoyed the owners, John/Gaby who were great-always responsive when we brought issues to their attention. We’ll be returning.

Great house

We were a multi generational family making a trip to visit extended family. Property is as described. We had two small dogs and the fenced in backyard was perfect. Pool was awesome and was enjoyed daily. Beds are comfortable and the house had all the appliances you would need. Screen in front porch was a bonus and enjoyed early in the AM while having our coffee.

Great property with wonderful hosts

The home was exactly as advertised. Cozy and adorable. We especially enjoyed the wicker cocoon chair for snuggling with the grandchildren, and while there it became my grandson's favorite nap spot. The pool was a real hit, we were able to host a large family dinner and pool party, plenty of room for everyone (14 people). There are tons to things to do nearby and it is only a few blocks from downtown Sarasota with great restaurants and nightlife.
