Peaceful Private Get Away - 10 Minutes from Major beaches!

Very good amenities, close to lots of good restaurants and stores.

The house was ok. Clearly there’s been some water damage which wasn’t in the description but some of the ceiling in one room is falling off. Also the pool was not heated to 82-86. The spa/hot tub doesn’t even work and hasn’t for quite some time as we found out from the pool guy. Communication with the host was horrible! Will never stay there again.

We arrived 30 minutes after our scheduled check in time to find the house not only filthy from the previous guests... but sewage had backed up in the bathroom. There was feces and toilet paper that had backed up and dried into the bathtub, toilets and surrounding area. There was a note on the counter from the previous guest stating that the sewage had backed up again so clearly this is a known and ongoing problem... Dirty laundry and bedding spread throughout the home. The floors had dirt and food crumbs throughout the house. The countertops had food crumbs. The master bathroom counters, sinks and floor had hair (of all types). Dirty toilets and bugs crawling throughout the master bathroom floor. The house was literally a health hazard.With the intention of staying for two weeks we had limited options and ended up having to find a hotel and alternative housing. I have numerous photos and videos which I provided to VRBO and the Host. I spent over 4 hours trying to resolve this with VRBO. The host has yet to respond to emails and texts. VRBO initially responded saying that our photographic evidence did not consitute action. After pleading with VRBO to take action they asked for another walk through video. Upon viewing the video they acknowledged that the house was not acceptable and they would try to get in touch with the host/owner. I will never use VRBO again and this host should be ashamed. Even a simple text message acknowledging the situation would go along ways.

We had an awesome time, we would book it again.

Nice house nice location

Nice older home but not well maintained. We could have barely get any water to shower daily

We arrived late Wednesday! Woke up Thursday to pool level very low & Spa not working at all! Call/text host & she tells us everything works just fine, total lies we spent 10 days without spa & 3 days before we left the heat in the pool broke down! We plan our vacation with a pool & spa for a reason…

Well, another fabulous winter season at this lovely home has come to an end. We had marvelous weather, enjoyed entertaining out on the lanai…set up a mahjong table out there a few times…enjoyed our swims in the nice warm pool…This was our second year here and we’ve booked again for next year! We were fortunate to be seasonal golf members at The Meadows CC and the home, being located on 17 tee box was fun to watch the action from the lanai as well as wave at pals on their way around the course! The neighborhood is so peaceful and safe. Such fun to take moonlight walks. Another favorite of this perfect location is being able to get to Lido Beach in 20 minutes or less for a sunset, cocktail picnic…as others are in gridlock coming off the island, we just sail on in and it is perfect! Being so close to great restaurants and stores and the highway is a huge plus. We did an e-bike tour that I would highly recommend through Endless Summers Eco-Tours now located on 12th street. We went to Myakka State River Park and had a ball. Back to the home review…Everything about the home feels like ‘home’…It was well maintained, has everything a cook wants in the kitchen, the garage is a wonderful size, beds are all very comfortable, the community in The Meadows is top notch and it has been our pleasure and good fortune to have had another memorable winter there.

We have been staying in the Sarasota area for the last 20 years, this property was very comfortable and in the ideal location

good house in good location. Host was great at communications.

We were really looking forward to our stay, and the house itself was great—spacious and perfect for our family. However, the primary reason we booked was for the pool and hot tub, and unfortunately, neither was usable during our visit. The pool temperature never exceeded 69 degrees, and the hot tub was also out of service the entire time.What made it more disappointing was the lack of response from the hosts. Despite reaching out, we couldn’t get any resolution or even a sense that they cared about our experience. As a fellow host, I always try to leave positive reviews, but this experience was an exception. Sadly, we will not be returning.

Good location in a quiet neighborhood in the Meadows. Air wasn’t working, which wasn’t a big deal on the first day because it was cool, but it was humid and warmer on subsequent days. Garage door opener had issues and also stopped working. Pool and spa/hot tub had low water and main bedroom had unpleasant smell—more so with no air conditioner. Host didn’t respond in a timely manner. Could be a good place if a few things were fixed up and response time was under 24 hours. We appreciated that the house was not cluttered and the Meadows is walkable.
