We were in town for my nephew's wedding and at different times invited friends and family over to visit. The house was a perfect hangout. Lots of space in the living room, dining area, patio, all where you could open the big sliding doors and have that indoor/outdoor feel. Bedrooms are comfortable, primary bath is awesome. Kitchen is well equipped. Location is perfect, walkable to restaurants and shops, and a short drive to Marina Jack. A couple of very minor issues that Gerard responded to quickly. All in all, would stay here again if visiting Sarasota.

This house is absolutely perfect. Clean. Amazing amenities. We slept well. We cooked. We were within ten minutes of everything we wanted to do and see. The park around the corner was perfect for morning walks. We can’t wait to return!

We had a great time. The house was very nice and the hosts were extremely organized with directions on everything we needed (internet, hot tub, tv etc) to make things very easy. The pool and jacuzzi were very nice to have as well. Centrally located to down ptown and short drives to Siesta Key and St Armand’s Circle. Would definitely recommend this place

Beautiful property. Very well maintained

We stayed for labor day weekend. Everything was great!! Very clean, easy to the conversation with host, And the beautiful pool, good location! We will be back 😊

Host could have communicated much better. We had a very early flight arrival and a 5 year old with us, so we asked for early check in. The host said he could not accommodate because the house was rented the previous night and needed to be cleaned but he would let us know if the cleaning crew was done early. Check in was suppose to be 4pm. I contacted the host around 1pm to see if the house would be ready early and he did not reply at all. Finally we just went to the house at 3:10pm and there was no one there and the house was ready. Very disappointed that the host didn’t communicate that earlier to us. The only toilet paper in the house was the rolls on the holders in the 2 bathrooms. There was no extra toilet paper in the house. When we notified the host that there no additional toilet paper he said maid service would drop some off within the next 2 hours-it took 6.5 hours for the maid service to drop off the toilet paper. Also, I asked the host where the light switch for the pool was located and he said there’s no switch and the pool light goes on automatically. Well the pool light never came on our first night(Saturday), so I notified the host Saturday night around 9pm and he did not get back to me until Sunday morning. He said he would contact the pool company and they would be out tomorrow(Monday) to repair the pool light. No one ever came Monday to repair the pool light. We were to check out of the house by 10am Tuesday morning and without the host notifying us at all, the pool guy finally showed up around 8:45am in the morning and said the pool light works just fine-it’s not on an automatic timer but there’s a switch to turn it on/off. The pool guy then dumped a ton of chemicals in the pool making the pool unusable for the final hour plus of our stay. There’s no doubt the house and backyard very nice but the host customer service was well below average. Every time I reached out to him he made it feel like I was being a nuisance rather than him making sure our stay was 5 star service.

The property itself was very nice. Very nice interior decor and amenities. It was clean and well-stocked for our stay. Kitchen was great. (Only thing I would recommend would be plastic drinking glasses for poolside and children). Beds were comfortable. Having the pool was a godsend! We all enjoyed it very much. The host was very accommodating too. The one thing that was somewhat disappointing was the location. The online description made it sound like it was an easy walk to several different places. I guess it depends on what your definition of “easy” is. It was very hot and humid and to walk to shops or restaurants wasn’t as easy as we would have liked. We literally drove everywhere. The beaches are also a bit of a drive. This home is a little gem in the middle of a mixture of old, new, renovated, and downright shabby homes. There is an apartment complex directly behind the house, and the two houses on either side were pretty run down. Some sketchy properties nearby. Two doors down was a house under construction so there was constant hammering and construction noise so our time outside at the pool was not as tranquil as we would have wished. All in all it was good. Just wish the house was in a different location. Next time we will look for something on or near the beach. We had not been to Sarasota before and we liked it very much!

Took my parents, sister and boyfriend on a family trip to Sarasota and stayed at this beautiful residence , it couldn’t have been better. The house was very cozy, spacious, modern and accommodated for grilling, pool time, also conveniently located to all the great spots. It’s a beautiful home and the family really did a great job with the modern modifications . A thank you to the Bonilla Family for having us, we def hope to be back soon !

Beautiful home, perfect location to be close to the downtown restaurants. The Marina and St Armand’s / Lido are a very short drive away. Home is just as advertised, fantastic communication. Would absolutely recommend this home to anyone traveling to Sarasota!

The location of this property is minutes to the museum, selby gardens, the mall and more. But it is walking distance to the rosemary district which is one of my favorite spots in Sarasota. Lovely walking and great restaurants. The property itself is very clean and recently renovated. The living part of the house surrounds the pool area which is beautiful and inviting. Gerard is responsive and easy to work with. Highly recommend this property.

You cannot go wrong with this property. It’s close to downtown has a pool, a hot tub and hass a modern kitchen, bathroom and living area. The kitchen has a huge door that opens into the pool area which makes the whole experience fantastic. Gerard Is a fantastic host and very accommodating. In fact we borrowed the chairs and beach umbrellas one day after we checked out. He was OK with it as long as we dropped it off before the next guest checked in. As I said before there’s no reason you can go along with it for the price you pay especially in this neighborhood.

House is in a great location, beautiful and well kept. Amenities are wonderful and that house has everything you need for a comfortable stay. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.

We have stayed in many Vrbo rentals this one is by far the best. Gerald is always in contact with you, the home is spotless clean. It has everything you need from the kitchen and the pots and pans all are clean the beds are comfortable and the bath room is fantastic.The most amazing aspect is the out doors no need to leave the house. You have a great heated pool, a hot tub, and a sauna. There is a Whole Foods right in town three minutes away. Thank you for a great vacation. Only problem our week next year is booked so we are looking forward to 2023.Rick and Mary

Location was great and the house was beautiful. Pool and hot tub also great. Here is where it could have been better: at first glance the house looked clean but floors were filthy. In fact, we removed our shoes upon entering home and our feet and socks turned black. We had to Swiffer all the floors the day of our arrival. Queen Fitted bed sheet had multiple holes. While king bed was ok, one queen mattress was hard as a rock. Perhaps it would be worth installing another king bed in one of the secondary bedrooms. While ok for a weekend getaway, for those guests staying a long time we would have appreciated basic cable for local news. The pool guy checked the chemicals but did not vacuum the pool or the hot tub. Bottom line: not sure the people you are depending on to keep house clean are doing the job you are paying for.

Beautiful home! Would stay again. Only a 10 minute walk to Main Street and new Bay Runner trolley which takes you to St Armand’s circle and Lido Beach. Highly recommend! Perfect for family or group of friends. Loved!!!

Gerard's property included a large outdoor pool and a hot tub. It had three good sized bedrooms. The master bath was spectacular, and the kitchen was spacious. There is also an outdoor kitchen. The house is near Sarasota downtown, the Gulf, Ringling Museums, Shelby Gardens, Chihuly Glass Museum, Picasso and Dali Museum, boat tours, excellent restaurants, and fantastic beaches like Siesta Key and Lido Beach (where you can rent kayaks). Gerard was a wonderful host. My husband, upon departing, said, "I'm going to miss this place!" Judy and Bob

Great house - very close to wonderful restaurants and beaches.

We stayed here and everything was fantastic. The house was clean and ready for us. Gerard was a great host who checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. The outdoor area is incredibly nice with the pool, hot tub and outdoor kitchen. We would definitely go back!

The house was super nice and clean you won’t be disappointed! Gerard was very nice and easy to work with!!

This is an absolutely beautiful, impeccably clean, and well-equipped home located right by Gillespie Park and close to the beach. We had everything we needed at the house, and there was a very informative list of instructions on how to use various amenities in the house. The location was great! During our stay, we went to downtown Sarasota, Siesta Key, Englewood on Manasota Key, Bird Key, Saint Armands Key, Longboat Key, and Anna Maria Island. Easy drive to all of these areas! The Gillespie Park neighborhood is very nice, and we truly enjoyed exploring the area. Our host, Gerard, was very communicative, and we truly appreciate the hospitality. Thank you for hosting us!

Home is modern, clean and feels very private. Close to everything Sarasota has to offer. My wife and daughter enjoyed the pool and the grilling area. Kitchen is very well equipped. I did not have to purchase a single utensil and we cooked dinner ever single evening. Great experience. Thank you.
