Sarasota

Convenient to the areas in Sarasota we wanted to visit.Short drive to St. Armands Key, Ringling Museum, Columbia Restaurant, Shelby Botanical Gardens and the Linger Lodge. Neighborhood a little questionable and drive way was tough when pickup trucks parked right behind you on street. Otherwise the house was clean and mostly quiet neighborhood.

Great location and a very clean rental.

The Owner was very helpful, answered all our questions, and gave us some excellent suggests for activities and restaurants. The stay was very pleasant. Very nice screened in back patio which we could only use once due to the unusually weather.

Disliked: Communication
The house is comfortable, clean, and well-equipped — perfect for a relaxing stay. Unfortunately, my experience was impacted by a misunderstanding with the host, who claimed I had brought pets and caused damage that never happened. I had photos to prove otherwise, and while the pet fee was eventually removed, the situation left me feeling uncomfortable. I’d recommend future guests take photos when they arrive and before they leave, just to avoid any misunderstandings.

Cute House with perfect location

I'm not big on reviews, but everything was perfect in this home. Decor, cleanliness, kitchen supplies, appliances, etc... the minutes from a grocery store and only 20 minutes from Siesta. Kirby was great answering any questions, and they provided us with any info needed about the home on the kitchen counter. Absolutely great price for this amazing spot. I'm sorry I didn't take pictures, but the pictures they posted speak for themselves

The house affords you everything you could possibly want and need!! Then, outside of the house you have the closeness to eateries, bars, grocery stores, beaches, hiking, etc. It definitely is YOUR HOME AWAY FROM HOME!!!!!
