Great location - love the pool

Another great stay at Big Pink! This is our 3rd year and we keep finding more things to do in this area! The house and pool were in great shape and ready for our stay! Really enjoyed the new gas grill and quiet evenings poolside. Gators in the water and bald eagles in the trees of the neighborhood - awesome! Excellent location that is perfect for easy walks and bike rides. Looking forward to a return visit next year!

The high points of this place: proximity to the Legacy Trail and Nokomis beach. Great neighborhood for long walks on quiet streets, retreat like setting. Private space at end of road. Pool area is lovely and secluded.
Because we have chemical sensitivities and a recent bout with lymphoma, we specifically inquired about fragrances used in the house. We were informed "scents and chemicals are kept to a minimum."
Unfortunately, not so. Fragrances were sprayed on almost all upholstery. The extra foam mattress on the bed was saturated with a strong smell. We removed 9 "odorizers", either plugged in or tucked around things which emitted strong unpleasant smells. We put them out to the garage.
Two of the sliding glass doors and the window by the tub cannot be opened without brute force.
If you have no problems with strong smells, this place is fine. Spacious, quiet, peaceful.

The best part about this location was the pool. The house was dirty and unkept. Basic supplies like paper towels and facial tissue were missing. The appearance was nothing like the photos. The landscaping was overgrown including the sidewalk up to the house. The furniture was a hodge podge of random items. Biggest disappointment was the internet and wireless service.
6.0
This is a lovely property but it is tired. The house is cluttered with furniture at every turn. The pool area is in need of a power wash and the plants outside the cage are overgrown to the point the pool area is stuffy. Area rugs I’m sure are not cleaned between visits and master bed mattress has stains. Iron is old and black on the bottom. Outside grill is filthy as is the patio table and chairs near it.
6.0
The property is spacious, in a quiet neighborhood, near grocery stores, restaurants, and a short drive to Nokomis beach. The pool is wonderful and was my favorite part of the property. I did have some unpleasant surprises after checking in. The garbage disposal was broken, the microwave vent was held in place with duct tape, but most disturbing of all was the dishwasher. The heated dry cycle is not working, and the inside of the dishwasher had mold growing throughout. So I had to hand wash our dishes for the entire week. The house also had an odor that was something other than musty. The bed linens were frayed and torn. I am particular about the condition and cleanliness of the properties I rent and this one failed. I did reach out to the owner early in my stay and she indicated that there was nothing she would do until she physically visited the property in a few weeks. It's a shame because this house has a lot going for it but it needs a lot of TLC.

If you seek peace, quiet and plenty to do within a 10 minute drive then this is the place to be! A great house with a nice pool on a cul-de-sac next to a large pond with a token gator is perfect SW Florida! A number of very good restaurants, pubs, golf courses and I almost forgot beaches are close by. Already looking forward to our return trip next year!

Our host Erin was great and really have no complaints about our stay there for 3 weeks, we had good weather in the 80's each day, the pool was great and we stayed outside in the pool area pretty much the days we were home from dust til dawn.

Great location to several beaches, shopping and restaurants. Grocery stores within minutes.
We had a great time at the pool as well as relaxing around the house. The pool was clean along with the patio. The outside of the house was nicely groomed in a beautiful neighborhood. Loved that the house was stocked with board games, toys for the pool and beach chairs/umbrella and fishing rods for the dock. The kitchen was well stocked with paper towels, napkins, seasonings, coffee and other staples as well. However, the fridge was not totally cleaned out and several items were left behind for others that you may or may not want to consume. There were instructions left that the dishwasher dishes would need to self dry which was no problem but when I went to dry them I found that they were really not cleaned very well. I also came across several dishes / utensils that were put away dirty. I would recommend some updating of the dishwasher, cleaning of drapes, rugs, closet spaces to get rid of musty smell and sheets that fit the mattress well. Overall, we had a pleasant stay and enjoyed the house.

Beautiful Home with Pool in Quiet Neighborhood
Beautiful home in quiet neighborhood. Close to the beaches and so many tasty restaurants. within a 10 minute drive. The house had everything we needed. Bikes, pool toys, beach chairs and towels. Had a bunch of games to play on rainy days. There was a gas grill and a charcoal grill. The pool was amazing and private, almost like we were on our own island. We spent so much time in the pool and sitting around the pool, listening to nature all around us. There was a pond out back that had turtles and so many birds.
The neighborhood is a bird sanctuary. We drove to Nokomis beach every night to watch the amazing sunsets. The beaches in this area are beautiful. We have never seen such blue ocean water! Owner answered our questions quickly and recommended beaches and restaurants. Our family enjoyed our stay, it was so relaxing. Would definitely recommend this house to anyone!

Perfect Vacation
This was our first trip back to Florida after 2 years due to the pandemic, and it was the best ever! Loved the house, lush tropical foliage surrounding the pool, master bedroom with soaking tub and glass shower. Spent much time out by the lake on the dock, morning walks, evening bike rides, close proximity to Nokomis beach. Kitchen was well stocked, couldn't have asked for better weather or a more perfect week! Will return soon!

Private Oasis!
A great find! This house is very well-equipped, super comfortable and incredibly quiet! The cul-de-sac location bordering the water with the screened pool, well-hidden with greenery, makes you feel like you have your own private oasis! We spent many hours enjoying the large pool with great sun or shade (your choice)! Short drives to a number of great local restaurants and sights. 5 minute bike ride to Oscar Scherer Park and the Legacy Bike Trail. Perfect neighborhood for walk/run/bike. Erin was a great host! Already looking forward to our return stay!

Great location comfortable home
We stayed on short notice for a family emergency. The house was very comfortable with great space and a great location. Looked like a really nice place to have a family vacation. Very homey. Well stocked with essentials. Coomunication was prompt. The outside area was starting to get overgrown so it made it less comfortable enjoying the outside areas. WIFI was good. Possibly need some basic instructions for the various tv setups to get basic channels. Some maintenence issues inside as the second bathroom shower was not working and we had to run the main bathroom shower for some time to clear a strong sulfuric odor from the water heater.

Amazing place!
100% will rent again! We absolutely LOVED it. I can't say enough! It was so clean, pool was perfect, she has this book with house rules that was easy to understand, had amazing recommendations for restaurants and things to do.

Home Away from Home
We rented the house for a week in April. We enjoyed our stay tremendously. The house was comfortable and had a great location if you like a quint and private place. The pool area was our sanctuary and we had spent a lot of time there, just relaxing in the arms of the greenery, watching birds, bunnies, and squirrels. The house is fully equipped, stalked, ready to offer relaxation right upon your arrival. We re-stalked some supplies to pay it forward for the folks who come after us :). Communication with the owners was seamless, they really try hard to make sure you have a good time. The only issue we had was the bed in the second bedroom, which was very uncomfortable, but it did not spoil the overall stay. We hope to come back again.
