    We absolutely loved it! This is the ONLY place we will stay from now on while visiting Sarasota. Geoff knew the best places to go for shopping, eating, and beaches. If your thinking of visiting Sarasota, you must stay here! K&N

    My husband and our daughter stayed at this place for a week, and it was absolutely marvelous. Geoff is very responsive, attentive to detail, and the house is very clean and delightful on the inside. On the outside, in the back yard adjoining the bayou, there is a wonderful gazebo with trailing bougainvillea. There is a fire pit in the middle of the gazebo that we sat around and sipped wine and talked for hours. It’s also very close to the airport! I can’t say enough positive about this place! We loved it!

    Loved this location! Close to lots of sights, but, quiet at night! Everything was clean and inviting. Back yard was your own little Oasis. Geoffrey was fantastic and I got to meet Duke! Will be back for sure!!

    This home was beautiful inside and out. Everything you would need for sleeping, cooking, having fun, or relaxing is provided, including some beach supplies which was really convenient for us. The host checked in and was very accommodating as well. 10/10 would recommend
