We absolutely loved this beautiful house! We loved it so much that we wanted to extend our 16 nights by an extra 3 nights but they were already booked! Excellent communication with the host and they were so kind to let us know that we forgot some important things in one of the drawers and allowed us to go and retrieve them after a couple of hours. We will definitely return!

What an amazing property! There wasn't much more we could have asked for in a vacation home. The property was clean and well maintained. Located in a quiet neighborhood (we barely ever heard any noise from the neighborhood, traffic, etc.), but still located close to the beaches, less than a 10 minute drive to Siesta Key Beach. Plenty of stuff around to keep us busy and alot of cool local places to grab something to eat! Meany's donuts was one of our favorite spots, which we visited multiple times on our vacation. The house very spacious. Even with our family of 7, we had plenty of room. Our favorite area of the property though was easily the pool area, where we spent alot of our down time while at the house. The pool was surprisingly very private given the proximity of the neighbors. Big covered area for when anyone needed to get a break from the sun. And the outdoor fan made it very comfortable to lounge there. The pool at night was awesome with the lights!The hosts were amazing and tbe communication was very quick and easy. We didn't have any issues during our stay, but I did ask for a few recommendations and they were very quick to respond. They let us know about some great local fireworks on the 4th of July and they were amazing!!They only thing that I could recommend to change (and this is me being picky) is adding some ceiling fans in the bedrooms and a mirror in the bedrooms as well. Thank you for the wonderful stay and we hope to be back in the future!

Great little beach house! Ideal location, quick trip to the beach, shopping, and restaurants. Very nice quiet neighborhood. House was super clean with a really great pool. Beds were very comfortable. Best of all was the incredible communication with the host, ITrip. We liked this house so much we booked it again before we even left. Highly recommend.
