Our family of four plus grandparents spent a wonderful two weeks on this property. The house was clean, modest, and well-decorated and located on a quiet street in an older neighborhood. There was plenty of room for all of us; we were even able to rent a full-sized crib (as well as toys and beach gear) from A to Z Rental (rentfromatoz.com), which was one of Judi’s recommendations. Our favorite part was the large covered outdoor patio and the heated pool! The kids were in there every afternoon. This place is minutes from the grocery stores and Marshalls and a 10 minute drive to Siesta Beach. The only disappointment for us on this trip was the presence of red tide in the ocean, especially on our first visit to the beach. There was a slight improvement over the course of the two weeks. But at least we could enjoy ourselves in the pool :) .

This is a great place to stay. The neighborhood is very quiet, and is conveniently located near stores and some great restaurants. We spent a lot of time in the heated pool, and hanging out in the screened in lanai. Also did some bike riding in the neighborhood with the bicycles that were provided. The property host is very easy to contact, and a great person to deal with. I wouldn't hesitate to book this property again!

Great house for our family if 4 adults and 3 children. The pool was great for the kids.

My husband and I had a wonderful stay during the month of February. The location was perfect. Walking distance to the food store, biking distance to Detwiler’s farmers market and a short ride to siesta key beach. The pool made the vacation even more enjoyable. When our grandchildren visited every morning they were in the pool. The home has everything one could need for a carefree vacation. We loved staying there and would love to come back again. Thank you for the hospitality and for sharing your lovely home.

This is a tidy, well kept, attractive home in a quiet neighborhood. Though the house is not big, we wanted for nothing. There was enough seating in the living room, in the dining room, and the kitchen had everything we needed. Gulf Estates is an older Sarasota neighborhood. While not on the beach it is a 5 minute drive to Crescent Beach. 5 minute walk to a dozen little restaurants. All the ones we tried were great.

I will give an estimate after I return the deposit

Fantastic location...close to Siesta Key Beach, Turtle Beach, Restaurants, and entertainment. Highly recommended, would definitely visit again.

Overall the property was clean and neat. It is very close to nice beaches and excellent restaurant. A few minor items needed repair and these were handled by the manager virtually immediately. I would highly recommend this property and would definitely consider staying again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The home was located so conveniently to restaurants, beaches and attractions. Tried some of the restaurants and the Mote Aquarium that had been suggested by the owner and loved them. We would definitely love to return to this property in the future.

Easy check in and out. The property was just as expected. Very nice and clean. It was perfect for myself, husband and our three children. The pool is perfect for kids and adults. The bicycles and beach toys, towels and chairs were very nice to have already at the house. House is about a 10 minute drive to the beach. Plenty of restaurants and stores close.

Great

This is a great house. I loved the openness of the kitchen and living room which then leads right to the pool area. There is a huge bin full of pool noodles, rafts, and other toys. The pool can be heated with a brand new heater for cooler months but it was perfect temperature for our stay in June. The linens and beds are all very comfortable. Everything was clean and decorated very tastefully. A beach umbrella, three beach chairs, insulated cooler, boogie board, and sand toys are all provided. The only thing I felt I was missing was a laundry basket to carry things to the garage where washer and dryer are located. I want to thank Judi for letting us stay in this beautiful house. And especially for having a four night minimum stay. Sometimes I can only get away for a long weekend and it's hard to find a place this nice. Most are 7 night minimum stays. I will definitely be back!

Very nice place.All the comforts of home.Had everything we needed, beach chairs,towels,umbrella and a cooler.Shopping is close for anything else we needed.Pool was wonderful.My only complaint is I had to leave.

From the moment we arrived we knew we made the right decision booking this rental home. The location was excellent. Close to everything, grocery store, shopping and 5 guys! And Siesta Key beach is only 5 min drive. We especially love the pool and the home was exceptionally clean! A few things were missing and we let the owner know for next time. We will be back again!

Very nice home. Short distance to beach. Fantastic to have pool for the kids to enjoy. Very clean and everything updated and in great condition. Thank you for a great vacation!!!

This was a wonderful vacation home. Heated pool is the highlight as well as a well stocked pantry. Judi was great with communication. Would consider this home again in the future. But note to others - there is only basic air channels for the TV, but has smart TVs to use your own Hulu and Netflix accounts.

What a wonderful place to stay. I was so happy to walk in and see such a lovely home. Everything was clean and neat. We had beach toys, chairs, bicycles and that wonderful pool. Located so close to everything we wanted to do in the Sarasota area. It was a home away from home. Communication was awesome, I had one question and it was answered right away. We are planning a move to the Sarasota area this summer, however, I will be recommending this home for anyone looking for a great getaway. Thank you - this made our trip one of the best we have had.

Can’t tell u how much we loved our stay in Sarasota!! Judi was the perfect host....gave us so many good recommendations, a bottle of wine, and greeted us on arrival yet still let us enjoy our time without being invasive. The house was lovely! Cozy and homey and tasteful and close to everything we wanted to do!! We would not hesitate to book this property again!!

The owners did a great job renovating this property. Everything was new, extremely tasteful, comfortable and well thought out (breakfast bar, dining and porch tables that expand, etc.). It's close to the bus stop that takes you right into Siesta Key or an Uber costs about $9 + tip. We took advantage of the restaurants down the street - and even rode the Legacy Trail (4 miles to get there, but it's flat) on the two bikes supplied. It's also not far if you want to try Nokomis Beach and even Venice. My only "want": I would have loved some comfy cushions on the two chaise lounges by the pool. In all, an excellent place.

Great place and Judy the host was great also!!! Great location to beach and other attractions. The pool was wonderful for us from Minnesota.

Excellent overall. Ideal location. Five minutes to Siesta Key, 15 minutes to downtown Sarasota area. Walking distance to shopping, many restaurants but house is on a very quiet street. Comfortable beds and plenty of space for our family of 5. Bicycles, beach supplies (chairs, umbrella, cooler) included. Great screened in patio with heated pool. Internet, TV, everything was in perfect condition and easy to use. Highly recommend!
