I meant to write my review before our stay was complete. The past couple of mi the have been pretty stressful for our family with parents being sick and welcoming a new baby. Time slipped by and before I knew it my son’s spring break was approaching. I had reserved a house in Sarasota and come to find out 3 hours before we were leaving the house was not available and VRBO some how double booked the home. Frantic to find something I can across Bud’s listing and immediately booked it even though it wasn’t available until the day after we would arrive. Confirmation was quick and I had emailed him asking if there was anyway to reserve the house the day before our reservation. Bud quickly contacted me and told me the house wasn’t available for the day we arrived but he would contact me if the cleaners were done early so we could check in earlier. He did call me and let me know we could check in early. When we arrived the house was clean and I love that the decorations were minimal since we had our two year old. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need. The house had everything we needed I forgot our pack and play and was ready to go purchase one until I saw one was in the garage. My 10 year old said it was the best spring break and had a blast in pool. Thanks for welcoming us into your home and helping out an overwhelmed mom!

We had to cancel last minute because I got sick. Tried to reschedule but couldn’t make arrangements with the owner. This was our first time with VRBO and probably my last.

Was as listed.

Quiet neighborhood, fully stocked kitchen (cooked several meals), nice pool, the host Bud answers his phone, can put your car in the garage, close to several stores, bed in the master bedroom is firm and no blinds (sheer curtains). Rental description was accurate.

Very nice three-bedroom, two bath ranch with great floor plan and private pool. It is convenient to shopping, beaches, restaurants, etc. 'Would highly recommend.

All family & a few friends for my brother in laws 70th surprise birthday party. Communication with Bud is always good, and the house was accommodating for us. I gave 4 on the location because it is South Venice. I grew up there, so I know the area, and it's a great safe area.

Our month long stay was amazing. The home is well kept, stocked and very clean. We really enjoyed the heated pool! Beach chairs, umbrella and beach cart definitely an added bonus for the days at the beach. Bud was an exceptional host and very accommodating! Highly recommend this home!

Great
