Lovely place!

We enjoyed our short stay in this home. We were close to everything in Sarasota. The park adjacent to the property was lovely. All in all, I would recommend.

We stayed for a week with our three grown kids and son-in-law. The house was charming and beautifully decorated. There were plenty of towels and everything you could need in the kitchen. The backyard is a little slice of heaven with the privacy fence, pool, covered patio and cool lights. The park that is immediately outside of this house is totally amazing. We walked every day and admired all of the beautiful dogs. The location between Saint Armands and siesta key could not have been better. The owner was easy to get along with and quick to respond to our few questions. Would definitely recommend and would stay again!

Such a cute home. Great location. Quiet and had everything we needed. Would definitely look at staying here again.

The property was located in a nice quiet neighborhood next to a park with walking trail. We stayed with friends and used all 4 bedrooms. One bedroom does only have 2 single beds. Well stocked kitchen, but for our 6 day stay the dishwasher stopped working after only 2 days and was never fixed during our stay. The next people coming in could not have had a working dishwasher for at least the first day. I feel like this could have been addressed quicker then it was. The only other disappointment was that there was dog poop in more than 4 spots in the yard from past guests that was not pleasant for laying in the sun. We did enjoy our stay and would recommend this house as our issues could easily be remedied.

House was as described. Well maintained and clean environment with modern appliances. Nicely furnished. Location was great, very private and next to a nice park. Fenced backyard for dogs to roam. Pool is not heated so limited use in cold months. Overall we would definitely stay here again.

Kim’s home was so welcoming and everything you needed

There is a s such a difference when renting from a family and renting from a property company. Our rental was cared for very well and equipped better than any other home we have stayed in before. The owners replied to questions instantly and made us feel comfortable from booking to checkout. We can’t thank Kim and Rip enough for opening their home to us and for all of the extras provided. If this house is available during your travel time, we suggest you jump on it right away. We will definitely be back. Thank you!! Oh, and the waking path outside the house, that was priceless for entertaining our older guests.

This home was perfect for our family. It was clean and had everything we needed. The pool was clean. The yard was big enough for the dogs to play. And at the end of a dead end street, it was quiet. Beautiful Arlington Park next door was great as we could easily take walks, with or without the dogs. Having visited Sarasota for many years, we thought the location would be just right. And it was! We would definitely stay here again.

The house is reasonably priced and big enough that we were able to split it with another family. It had all of the comforts of home. There were plenty of pillows and blankets. The kitchen was well stocked with all of the appliances, pots and pans if you choose to cook and even had some condiments and paper products. The back yard is a nice place to relax and swim with plenty of chairs and pool “toys”. We were fairly busy during our stay but took a walk around the park and pond the last morning. It’s a short 1/2 mile path but it had benches to sit on and observe the various wildlife! We passed a fair number of people during our walk but never noticed any traffic down on our street. The house sits at the end of the street just before one of the entrances to the park. It is centrally located and an easy drive to many of the local attractions, beaches etc. Overall, the house made for a carefree stay.

We really enjoyed our stay. The pool was fantastic and the location next to the park was beautiful ! The house was a comfortable place to relax with family!

Truly the best getaway with the comfort of home. Kim & Rip are wonderful hosts and everything is perfect! This is our second time coming to this house and it’s just the best! Highly recommend to anyone who likes a tranquil setting that’s close to everything yet tucked away at the same time! Definitely will be back again! Thank you Kim & Rip! 😊👍🏻👍🏻❤️

House was comfy & had all the essentials you needed for cooking. Pool was clean & large enough to accommodate 8 of us & some family who visited. The gas grill was perfect for our family bbq. Our pup enjoyed his walks in the park which was actually in our ‘backyard’ They also hosted Tai Chi & Yoga classes at the park! It was Amazing. Questions about the ac were answered promptly. We hope to be back soon!!

Very easy

We had a great time! The house is well stocked with everything you could need. The neighborhood is very quiet and the yard is completely fenced and private. We enjoyed using the pool and being so close to everything! We would definitely stay here again!

I just finished a stay at this property over Memorial Day Weekend with some friends. The listing was accurate - had a pool, had a yard etc. Unfortunately, we couldn't utilize any of the outdoor amenities due to a horrible wasp issue. We weren't able to use the pool, which was filthy until the pool service came half way through the following day, because we were spending more time dodging and killing wasps. The pool was filthy with a skimmer full of beetles prior to this cleaning - which you would think it would be cleaned prior to a guest check-in. We couldn't use the grill outside either unless we wanted to spend time dodging wasps instead of actually cooking our food. This issue was so bad that we avoided entering in the home through the front door as much as we could because there were multiple that flew in the front door when we would open it. Inside the home, there were sinks that had hair sitting in the drain, ants and spiders in the upstairs shower, an air conditioning unit that would start randomly beeping at 3am with no rhyme or reason.

My husband and I stayed in the home with our 5 children. We had plenty of space for everyone and they kids loved both the pool and the walking path/park nearby. We were within a short driving distance of everything we wanted. The owner is very responsive and kind. I highly recommend this home!

Rental was as advertised. Home is located at the end of the street and you have direct access to a park with Lake view. We really enjoyed the back yard with pool. Short distance to grocery stores and dining. Short drive to Siesta Key beach. House is fully equipped with everything you could think of, especially the kitchen. I would definitely stay here again.

We had a great stay. The house was clean and the host was absolutely fantastic. She was available to answer any questions.

The home is in excellent shape and it sits in an area that has some great restaurants.

Charming home in a quiet, comfortable neighborhood. Kim was great. She was super helpful.

Loved that the house was at the end of a quiet street that dumped into a park. This was great for walking our dogs! The house was great! Thanks so much!
