Great lanai with view of the Creek, boats and sunrise

The location is good, the house was good and the owner quick to respond. When the grill didn't work it was replaced, the same day. We enjoyed our stay.

Nice place on the intra coastal waterway

Creekside Haven

This was a very nice place to stay beside Phillipi Creek and on a quiet cul-de-sac. It was very close to everything in Sarasota and exceeded my expectations. The owner was next-door and would have been readily available if I needed anything, but I never did. It all went very well.

We pick this rental because it was close to all we wanted to do but in a very quite neighborhood. The house was very comfortable, clean and relaxing. Jennifer was very helpful and accommodating to a couple of our special needs. Would definitely like to return.

Great house in Phillippi creek

The house is just as described- an “old Florida look” house that is very clean and comfortable and has a wonderful dock on Phillipi Creek. The house is very well equipped with everything you need. The neighborhood is very pleasant and conveniently located to everything. The landlord, Jennifer, lives next door and is very pleasant. She is attentive to your needs but never intrusive. You will enjoy your stay.

Life is so much better on the water

Husband and I spent two weeks relaxing at this special spot on the creek. If you are resort-averse, this is the spot for you. Watch the boats put-put by, enjoy the bald eagle pair hovering nearby, the fish jump, and a dolphin ! The use of a kayak and paddleboard were an extra bonus. The owner is next door and very hands-on when there are problems (washing machine needed to be replaced while there) and always quick and easy communication. Kitchen very well stocked -- appreciated all the coffee K-cups! -- and the bedrooms and living area are nicely furnished and up to date. The lanai needs a lot of updating (ripped screens and furniture that has passed its expiration date) but was a pleasant way to eat our meals. Enjoying cocktails on the deck on the creek was a daily treat.

Comfortable home away from home

This home was the perfect place to spend the month to get away from the cold! We were able to enjoy the Florida sun right at the house on the dock and watch the kayakers and boats go by or drive to Siesta Key Beach for a day in the sun and surf. It is close enough to Sarasota to also enjoy all of the things the city offers. We visited the Mote Aquarium, the Shelby Botanical Gardens, and enjoyed a sunset cruise of Sarasota Bay. Jen was an awesome host and tended to any needs we had. We had everything we needed just like home! We would definitely recommend her home and lived the neighborhood.

Philippe creek quiet house

This colorful house was just fine for the two of us. It is larger than it looks in the photos. I wish there was a renter’s guide to the house, listing the network, Wi-Fi password, cool restaurants in the area. There were several booklets and magazines to look thru to find some areas to explore. I wish the tap in both bathrooms had hot water to wash up in the morning. Great response from the owner when the washing machine & microwave went on the fritz. Great view while sitting by the creek. Didn’t think we could get the kayak in the water without getting really wet, so rented kayaks on Myakka Creek.

Beautiful view from a house with everything we needed, including a deck overlooking the creek and a screened porch. Conveniently located near beaches, downtown, and all Sarasota's cultural attractions, but in a quiet neighborhood. The host is very responsive. Heartily recommended!

Deliciously close to Siesta Key

Nice property for a lovely and relaxing stay. The owner, Jen, was really prompt and responsive in communications. The home is situated on a canal that we enjoyed in the morning and evenings watching fish jump and gators swim by. It was reasonably priced for a property that is such a short drive to one of the best beaches in the world at Siesta Key. Jen had the tools we needed to cook delicious food. Also, really comfortable beds and convenient laundry room.
