Sarasota Waterfront Paradise- Location, Location...!!

This place was perfect for us as a family of 4. I loved that we had space to spread out when sometimes needed. We hosted family for Christmas and had no problem making a nice meal together in the spacious kitchen. The dining table seats up to 8, so we had plenty of room for meals and playing games. Beds were comfortable, shower in master suite bathroom was great with a double shower head and lots of space. We used the pool and hot tub a lot. The hottub isnt huge, but fit four of us ok and heated up pretty quick. The kids loved playi g with a beach ball in the pool because of it being screened in. Lol. My husband used the used the space in the garage to do his workouts and I enjoyed spending time in the back room where there was lots of sun coming in through the big windows. I sat out on the deck a few times to lay out too. The backyard itself is on a pretty big slop, the online pictures are deceiving. The firepit is definitely unusable. I imagine everyone rolling down the hill. This did not affect our stay at all, but I took notice. The host is very friendly and easy to communicate with. We had some troubles with the door lock the first night and he was able to get someone over right away to change the batteries on it. We had no problems after that. I relayed a few things to the host that could use attention, but nothing that affected our stay. They have pool and beach stuff to use and lots of beach towels.

We had a great stay for 6 nights at this Florida property. We found it to be a very good centrally located are in Sarasota. It met all of our needs with the outdoor recreation , entertaining family. The house was well maintained and stocked with all of the necessities. We really liked the open layout of the kitchen and living area. I highly recommend!

Quiet neighborhood..roomy..nice kitchen.

Plain and Simple I love this house, this is our fourth time staying here. We are drawn to the layout as it has a very open concept. The kitchen, living room, dining area as well as large seating area with beautiful view of Phillippi Creek and pool are all open to each other. It is well kept, super clean and has all the supplies you will need to do all of your own cooking, grilling and even has a garage full of items for the beach. Everything from kayaks, fishing poles, beach umbrellas, beach chairs, pool toys and accessories, it has everything you need. The bedrooms are spacious and perfect for a family of 5-6 people. The pool is refreshing and also well kept along with a nice hot tub. I feel like this is a perfect location as it is only a 10 minute drive to Siesta Key beach, 15 minute drive to Lido Key and about 30 minute drive to Coquina Beach, etc. The laundry room is in a perfect location for when you get home from the beach, right inside the garage, so makes things super easy and efficient. If you are looking to not stay in a condo in Siesta Key and are looking for a house with a pool, this place is it. It's in a great neighborhood in Southgate, very safe and family oriented. We have nothing but good things to say about this home and location. We are truly blessed to have stayed her as much as we have. We will be back again, hopefully next year!

We absolutely enjoyed the privacy and peacefulness of this home. It was super convenient to many Sarasota excursions amd beach time. We would definistay here again!

Loved the location of this property on the River. So beautiful and many birds. The inside layout of the home was excellent. Very enjoyable stay.

This was my first VRBO rental since 15 years, as I usually stay in hotels or resorts.But given the group size, location and time of the year I opted for it.And we loved it.Could really disconnect and relax.The pool is perfect and I used the Spa daily. Now I guess I have to buy one.The Bbq grill works great The space in and outside is prefect.Loved the showerhead in the masterbedroom showerSun from sunrise to sunset on the deck, unobstructed!Excellent contact with host, even accommodated a late checkout. Thanks Chris.If time allows will come back

The house worked great for our family vacation. The living room, dining room, kitchen and lanai are open to each other, which created great space for our large family group. The bedrooms were a good size and comfortable. The place was even better than the photos, which is a nice thing in a VRBO. Phillippi Creek running behind the house was a real bonus. We took the kayaks out a couple times to be among the jumping fish, ibis, egrets, blue heron, and osprey. Watching the wildlife from the back deck was great, too. The location worked very well for us. The neighborhood is quiet and good for walking and jogging. Shopping along Tamiami is 5 minutes away by car. Downtown is maybe 10 minutes away and the beaches of Siesta Key about 15 minutes away. Also, the house was in good condition. The furniture was nice, the HVAC was easy to use, the kitchen was well-stocked for cooking, and laundry was convenient.

Things we're good except water in garage which is where the washer and dryer are. He was supposed to come look at it and never showed up

The neighborhood is super cute, and really convenient. The house is also nicely updated and featured a lot of sitting areas, large kitchen and comfortable bedrooms. The home is a 1950's house, but it's updated. We had an enjoyable time on Spring Break. We avoided the crowds on Siesta and other keys by staying here, but the property was tremendously close to Siesta Key, so we enjoyed the beach and little village. Grocery store options are only a street away from this home.
