    Wonderful backyard foliage with paths. The lanai was also delightful. Very quiet and with plenty of kitchen and laundry supplies. Easy communication with Maureen. Easy access to Publix and main arteries for everything in Sarasota. Be careful if you sit too close to the armrest on the couches. I hit the frame with my tailbone.

    I went to Sarasota with my two adult sons for a family reunion. We could not have been more pleased with our stay. Not only was the house well maintained and nicely decorated, but well equipped in every sense. In addition to a fully equipped kitchen, a lot of thought and consideration was given for what people on vacation might need, including hats, beach chairs, towels and sightseeing information. We really appreciated the beautifully landscaped and maintained grounds in both the front and back of the house. Lastly, the house is in the perfect location with easy access to many of the Sarasota attractions. I would highly recommend this house for anyone visiting Sarasota!

    This was the perfect place for me, my husband and our tween to spend our first ever tropical Christmas! We were in town to visit family and having a cozy bungalow (instead of a hotel) with a mini slice of garden paradise out back made the trip 10x more fun and relaxing. A quiet, safe residential location but still very close to Sarasota's best attractions and beautiful spots. The Waterfront parks and bike path are only a few blocks away. The house is clean, with all the comforts of home and just the right amount of eclectic design touches. The owners clearly care about making their guests' Sarasota visit easy and fun -- be sure to check out the MANY binders of info on local sites and activities. We look forward to making this sweet place our Sarsasota home base for a future visit!

    We rented this property to visit my 94 year-old grandfather, but after hurricane Milton, I was unable to reach him. Maureen went above and beyond before we even arrived by going to check in on him and his wife letting me talk to him on her phone. Fortunately they were ok and had a place to stay while their home power was out. The property we stayed at was very comfortable, clean, and had a lot to offer for us and our 2-year old. Maureen even brought over books for him, and her husband Patrick came over late in the evening to help when we had an issue with the washing machine (nothing was wrong, it just had a special eco mode feature we didn't know about). Overall we really enjoyed the location, walking the neighborhood, and picking up sticks in the yard (a boon for my toddler). Lots of good places to visit very close by too. We are looking forward to visiting again next year!

    We enjoyed our 4 nights in Sarasota. Home was perfect as we enjoyed visiting our son and his fiancé. They live downtown. Maureen and Patrick were very flexible as they allowed us to change our dates due to weather. Would definitely stay there again.
