    We loved it. Thank you so much for letting us stay. A few concerns thought. The door heading to the pool from the bathroom is stuck sometimes.

    We, my wife and two dogs, had a second (2023 and 2024) month long vacation in Sarasota, FL. The house location and the house itself, is perfect with for us with a beautiful pool and plenty of room for our guests. We are definitely going back next year!

    Very charming and cozy place. Quiet and safe neighborhood. Not too far from the beach or some great restaurants and night life. Had a pool which is salt water and very nice. Highly recommend.

    I was looking forward to my 2-week stay at this property especially after reading reviews on both websites. When I checked in, I noticed the floor was gross. While walking bare feet you were picking up crumbs with every step. I swept the floor within minutes (wish I could attach the photo!) After that, I found the dishwasher was not run and had dirty dishes. The washer had wet towels. The dryer had towels. The roadside trash cans were completely full and couldn’t be taken out for seven more days (so I couldn’t put my own trash or recycling out), the outside trash cans had trash on the ground. The pool guy came my first day (without being notified) and about an hour he left, we got in and found the pools surface covered in dead bugs. The whole 2-week stay the pool had LOTS of bugs floating. Without notice, my first morning someone let themselves in after I didn’t answer the knock (it qas early morning and I’d just had a 22-hour international travel day). I was in bed and not appropriately dressed. On two other occasions outdoor workers came (pool/yard) without notice and i May have been walking around thinking it was private :/. Beyond the cleanliness and communication, the house is run down. There’s tape covering a step because it’s so cracked. The toilet paper holder doesn’t hold paper, the floor has cracks. I was offered slightly over 100$ for the cleanliness issues, but with the price of this rental that didn’t make a dent in the issues. Wouldn’t reCommen

    The house was effect for us. It was spacious enough for us and our dogs and company. There was a new gas grill that we put to use and the pool was clean and warm! You must access the second bathroom by going out side the house but it was clean and the shower was great. We hope to return next year!

    It doesn’t get any better than their customer service. I was able to text with our personal contact and she instantly responded to all of my questions pre-trip and during our stay. I can’t recommend them highly enough and will 100% use them again!

    Home is spacious and comfortable. Pool and outdoor seating are awesome. The area is close to restaurants and shopping of all kinds and we loved the beaches.
