    Brett and Cyndi are excellent hosts who have put thought and care in to everything. The property is not only beautifully decorated but also very practical with everything you need. We enjoyed our stay thoroughly.

    Coming from Germany this has been an amazing vacation. Brett was always available to answer all our questions and made our trip very memorable. The house is fantastic and the kayaks, the tennis, the great pool and the bicycles all contributed to us not wanting to leave. We will definitely be back. Thank you Brett and family.

    Slip down to the dock in the early morning so the kids can see the schools of fish that pass through. Return at sunset for the chance to see a dolphin sweep past looking for dinner. Grab a kayak and explore the Bay and the neighbourhood from waterside. Anytime is pool time for our young family. There are numerous rings, balls, hoops and diving toys and the pool is warm and shaded. The tennis court is steps away. If you are a tennis family, you will love the shaded and sheltered facility. At night it is a cathedral. You will not find kinder, more thoughtful hosts. The house is well stocked and the Brett is always available should you need anything. We had a wonderful stay.

    pictures do not do house justice on just how spacious, clean and comfortable it really is. By far the best stocked VRBO we've ever stayed in ( and we travel a lot)...didn't really need to bring anything other than our personal items and clothes. Check-in with Brett was effortless and informative. He provided great suggestions for dining and activities and was always available to assist with bikes, kayaks, etc....really takes pride in this property and seems to sincerely want residence to enjoy a wonderful stay....will most definitely return.

    Brett is a great host. We saw dolphins twice from his dock on Robert’s Bay while enjoying the sunset. Location can’t be beat. Relaxing and easy access to Siesta Key Beach, St Armand’s Circle and Sarasota restaurants.

    We enjoyed the home very much. Brent was great! Can’t say enough good about him as a host! My daughter slammed her fingers in the sliding door- and he was right there with a first aide kit and where we could take her and check in on her too! The family enjoyed the heated pool. We had a number of amazing dinners that we grilled out. Morton’s market is a wonderful place to buy great food! An enjoyable experience and loved the location! Nice and quiet. The guys got out kayaking and really enjoyed that too. You can’t go wrong here.

    Brett was very accommodating as he lives behind the rental. Loved the canoes that came with the property, also the tennis court and pool. Beautiful neighborhood and close to the beach and many restaurants. The house has everything you need.
