Girls weekend!

Thank you Joanna and Jason! Stayed here 3 nights with Mom and Sis! Your home was cute and comfortable! All cupboards and closets are accurately labeled and include everything you need! The heated pool was perfect for a nice dip! A dresser in the 3rd bedroom would have been nice, and some of the furniture was a little dated, but overall we had a wonderful vacation weekend here!

A Comfortable, Beautifully Decorated Home In A Quiet Neighborhood

My husband and I enjoyed our stay in your beautiful home! The location allowed for easy access to Sarasota's gorgeous beaches on the keys, the Ringling Estate, Super Target and freeways. Loved the soft colors and beach decor in the house. Pool was refreshing. King size bed and living room furniture very comfy. Glad that beach chairs, umbrella and beach towels provided! Was nice to have washer/dryer and convenience of kitchen. We felt right at home and would love to return again! Joanna was very helpful and quick to respond when we had questions.

This was hands down our best vacation ever!!! The booking and communication with the property owners was super easy. Great response time and super flexible. The house is BEAUTIFUL inside and out. Super cozy feel with modern appliances. The decor is superb. The pool was perfect. Well maintained and big enough for all of us to have fun. I cannot put enough emphasis on how great this whole experience was. Great community, close to beaches, attractions, and downtown. Not if but when we ever come back to Florida this will be our first and only choice of where to stay!!!

Amazing spot

What a great house. The place was immaculate, very organized and had everything you needed. They had a cooler, beach chairs, an umbrella beach towels. Also everything you needed in the kitchen.The location is perfect 10 mins to airport. Half hour to Anna Maria Island, half hour to Siesta Key. Beaches are beautiful. Loved hanging out by the pool. I highly recommend this house I would do it again in a heartbeat also very close to restaurants and grocery store. The host was friendly and answered my messages quickly. Cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed ourselves at this house.

Nice House in Sarasota Suburb

This was a very clean, well stocked 3 bedroom house. The furniture and bed were very comfortable. The layout would be perfect for a family or larger group. We felt safe in this neighborhood. The house is a smart house so it announces every time a door or window was opened and it also controls the temperature. We found it annoying but I can see why an owner would like that information.. We rented this place strictly for the pool but the water was at 64 degrees and not suitable for swimming. We were disappointed by this miscommunication.

Family Vacation February 2020

This house is a very clean, very well maintained, and very well equipped property. Home layout and pool is excellent. Property is close to beaches and all that Sarasota has to offer. Property owners were very responsive to all our requests but one issue. About 2 weeks into the month long stay, we advised the owners that the dishwasher did not work. We cook most evenings and were forced to do the dishes by hand for the last 2 weeks. The owners advised us that for various reasons they were not going to repair/replace the machine until the day we vacated the house at the end of our vacation. While everything else about this property was so well maintained we were surprised and disappointed by the response to the dishwasher issue. I assume the dishwasher issue is resolved and the property is now in excellent condition.

Family vacation

We enjoyed our stay at the Sea is Calling. 3 bedrooms and couches were adequate for our family. Beds had not been changed when we arrived, but Joanna did notify us that there had been a mix up with cleaning lady who did come to clean and change the linens. It was about 8pm when she finished. We could have used a few more washcloths and an extra set of linens would have been helpful. We were planning on grilling out in the evenings but grill had not yet been cleaned for this year. Joanna sent us cleaning instructions, but we passed. There was an issue with the umbrella, so be sure to close it when not in use. The lawn guy laid it on its side while we were out for the day which exposed the base. The base did not seem as stable as we had fist thought. In the end it was no problem. The house is about 30 minutes to nearest beach. Suggest you time your visits to avoid the traffic backups going over the bridges covering bay. Lido Beach had kinda coarse sand, but still beautiful. Cortez Beach near Bradenton was very nice, but first day we parked way too far from bathrooms. Suggest you find them before parking. Holmes Beach at Anna Marie Island was our favorite - nice sand, beautiful water and close to bathrooms, coffee, and food and drinks. We will visit this area again!

The house was super clean, had a great layout with lots of light and high ceilings in the main living space, a well appointed kitchen, and a small but refreshing pool. We were in town for our daughter's rowing regatta, and the location was equidistant from the beaches and the racing venue. it's in a nice neighborhood and the hosts were great.
