    Everything was great - our host was very responsive and easy to work with. The house was just as described - it was very clean with plenty of amenities. The pool was very nice, and the location was great - short distance from the beach and plenty of restaurants in the area. This fishing in the channel was pretty good as well. I would stay again and would recommend it to others!

    This house is great! Well stocked with lots of little extra touches to make you feel at home. We enjoyed the pool and fishing out back. Very clean and owners quick to reply! Only 10-15 min drive to beach (traffic) Definitely would recommend

    We loved staying in this house. We are a family of 5 and it was perfect! My kids loved swimming in the pool and fishing in the canal. It is located in a beautiful, safe and quiet neighborhood. The home is close to stores and restaurants and it’s a quick drive to from the beach. The property owners are easy to communicate with and respond quickly. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. I highly recommend this home to anyone traveling to Sarasota! We would definitely stay there again.

    We loved this house because it had everything we needed and its location was so close to many of the attractions we wanted to visit while in Sarasota. It was very clean. We would stay here again without hesitation. The host was very helpful and informative.

    Absolutely love this place! Will be staying here again every time we visit the Sarasota area!! Homeowners are so kind and accommodating. Everything you need to stay from beach/ pool towels, amenities, beach chairs and umbrella, sand toys for the kids. Beautiful private pool that is clean, large spacious bedrooms.

    This property has everything you might think of, from coffee beans with a grinder to specific make-up cleaning towelettes. We had a fabulous time. The kids were in the pool at 7:30am and the pool was quite a treat! I would often go down to the water to do morning meditation with the sun rising - a perfect spot. The house itself is close to all the hot spots we wanted to see. Highly recommend.

    Very comfortable house. I had to supply very little as owners provided plenty of TP, detergent, etc. The pool and grounds are well maintained and communication with the owners was excellent. I would rent again.

    Very cute and comfortable home with great amenities and well stocked for all of our needs. We enjoyed the pool, and the canal and all of the extras like the grill and outdoor speakers. Also a great TV for us to watch playoff games on! Highly recommended.

    Holly and Arnas were fantastic to deal with. I was so hesitant with the hurricanes and damage and they reassured me everything would be ok. The house was immaculate! The only thing I did not realize was that I had to pay for the pool to be heated. Unfortunately it took till our last day to heat but my kids still enjoyed it. We would definitely book again!

    We had a fantastic staycation at Sandy ?. The house has everything you need to make your stay easy and comfortable. My kids loved being able to get up in the morning and go for a swim or at night before bed. The location is very convenient close to eveything you would need and just a short drive to the beach. If you still want easy access to Siesta Key but do not want to deal with the crowds, this is a perfect choice.

    Our family loved this property. Great location for getting to the beaches, fishing off the dock was enjoyed by all and the swimming pool was great fun. The house was immaculate upon arrival and owners communication was exemplary. We really appreciated all the supplies at the house from beach and fishing equipment to coffee and washing supplies. I would highly recommend this house to others. Thanks for having us!

    Staying at the Sandy Crab was a treat! Plenty of room for each guest to not feel ontop of each other. Beautiful neighborhood and super close access to the beach. Stores are local and convenient along with a fun ice cream shop near by! Will visit this home again if we get the chance.
