Check in was easy. The house was nice and host was responsive. However, we weren't aware that some of the listed amenities weren't either working or onsite until after the house was booked or after arrival. We were expecting an outdoor fan on the patio, which would have been great to create a breeze while outside. Unfortunately, after booking I learned the outdoor and indoor fan were broken. The futon from the photos had been damaged, removed, and not replaced before arrival. We learned this after arrival when we couldn't find it. We had anticipated one of the teenages to sleep there so we had to figure something else out. Lastly, the A/C did not cool very well, particularly in the master bedroom.

Great Sarasota Home Away From Home - w Peacocks

My wife, I, and our two adult daughters shared this home visiting town for a family event. What a wonderful, tranquil, setting. Nearby on Bayshore, you might see peacocks running about - our daughter did on a run. This property was everything that was advertised. And its close to great seafood and cuban cuisine. We'll definitely put this place on the top of our list for a future visit.

What a beautiful home for vacation!

My family and I stayed at this beautiful home after we decided to extend our vacation a few days due to Tropical Storm Debby. The communication with Inna was fast and top notch! We were excited to see the house in person and were amazed when we walked in the door. The entire house was beautiful and we loved the open concept of the living area, dining room, and kitchen. The kids and I were in and out of the pool pretty much every day. The house is located close to downtown Sarasota and lots of great places to eat, but it is also very close to grocery shopping for cooking and grilling at the house. I’d highly recommend this house to anyone and everyone… you won’t be disappointed at all! If we’re ever back in the area, we’d try booking here again. A+++

Nice Stay

We enjoyed our stay at the house. Having your own heated pool and hot tub was very nice. We liked that the host provided beach towels, bikes, and small amenities like hand soap. I did find that there could have been more washcloths provided. There were only 2 in the entire house. The house was a bit older and upon arrival we noticed some people left some food items so that was disappointing. We did let the host know about that and some other minor issues but they responded quickly and fixed the issues. Other than that our stay was nice. I would suggest putting a door on the master bathroom shower, having it open caused problems when running the shower and water splashed out onto the floor. Overall, a good stay for the price and for the time of year. Very convenient to downtown and within driving distance to the beaches.

Beautiful home in a great location

Our family was staying at the home because our daughter was getting married at the Powell Crosley Estate. It was so convenient to the venue and other places around Sarasota. The home was beautiful and stocked very well. The pool and hot tub was wonderful since it was so hot during our stay. The check in process was easy and Inna communicated with us very well. No complaints. We would definitely stay there again.

awesome property

Stylishly updated home with pool. We were there for 5 nights and only went out once to Las Olas to shop and dine. Kitchen was fully equipped with all we needed, we brought too much. We were a group of 6 women aged 74. I think the house is perfect for younger families, but we would have appreciated more towel racks and a handrail to exit the pool. Generous host provided a wonderful home.

bare essentials

The property and the pool were nice. The master bathroom seemed to be a work in progress that was not made known to us before arrival. No shower doors can be a problem. However, the shower door guys arrived one afternoon to re-measure, with no warning. Also, little hand soap, no laundry soap, few towels, no tissues, no propane for the grill. It would have been nice to know before arriving. Otherwise, very nice.

Great for our family

We very much enjoyed our stay at the property. We are a family of 6 and there was plenty of room for us all. The property was centrally located to the various beaches we wanted to go to as we planned to travel to the northern and southern beaches. It is located in a quiet residential neighborhood that appears very safe. The kids’ favorite part by far was the pool as they were in there every day. Pictures were very accurate to the property. I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in the Sarasota area with kids.

My family and I really enjoyed our stay, the house was very clean and had an abundance of extras we were not expecting.

Private pool was a win especially with the kids, outdoor patio was great too for having lunch before heading back to the pool.
