Very nice property. Property managers couldn’t have been better to work with. Our favorite part was the privacy of the property. Very nice established neighborhood with wild peacocks roaming around. Had an issue with the pool heater which was disappointing as the water was a bit chilly. Was unable to get it resolved prior to our departure, but property owner and property manager worked with us on partial refund.

Host was very welcoming. Home was very nice with a few exceptions. Blinds on front windows/door with missing several blinds - felt like we were sitting in a fish bowl in the evening with the lights on. Had to purchase toilet paper to get us through the week and no back up trash bags, only the one in the can. Remote controls did not work for lights and we were just guessing how to use them as there were no instructions.

A lovely house in a great location. Everything exceeded our expectations. Although the location provides many local attractions: the sea, downtown Sarasoto the Ringling museums and serious shopping are minutes away, it was very tempting to enjoy the quiet life by the pool.
Lovely sunsets -not quite visible!

Lovely oasis, comfortable, cozy, convenient, located in a beautiful, quiet, old Florida neighborhood. Friendly peacocks visit each morning, beautiful pool and patio w waterfall and fountain for morning coffee and afternoon / evening unwinding, a perfect respite for relaxing and re-setting. We'll be back!

The home was perfect. My daughter was in Sarasota for business and I tagged along for some relaxation. We couldn’t ask for a better location. Close to everything but extremely peaceful, private and quiet. The pool was amazing and we enjoyed it throughly! The host was easy to contact and very accommodating. And the Peacocks greeting us when we arrived and stopping by to visit periodically was an unexpected treat! Overall I would definitely recommend this home to anyone and I definitely would stay here again if ever returning to Sarasota.

Paradise Backyard

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We absolutely loved the secluded oasis of a backyard with a pool and gorgeous plant life! We even got to experience close up encounters with peacocks that would visit us in the front yard! Highly recommend!

wonderful vacation

we could not have picked a more perfect place to spend a week. First, the house is located in the most lovely neighborhood. Huge trees, beautiful vegetation, quiet and yet near everything. Don’t miss a walk around the neighborhood. The house is perfect, -clean, comfortable, beds comfy (important to me). Everything is thoughtfully provided. The pool, backyard is just delightful. We were blessed with gorgeous weather so we took full advantage of the outdoor space. This is the only place I would come back to in Sarasota. Highest recommendation.

Indian Beach Sapphire Shored

Loved the location, the house, the pool was great. beds were comfortable. Kitchen and items for use was sufficient. A coupe suggestions, supply enough toilet paper for the week, nice to have salts and pepper but there was very little salt in the shaker. Very inconvenient to have to buy a full container. Can’t take that in the plane, too big, same with toilet paper. Could only find an 8 pack. We left 7.5 rolls there for the next people. TV kept losing signal. Had to wait for the WiFi signal to come back. Happened frequently everyday. But the good by far out weight the minor inconveniences. We had a great time. Beautiful neighborhood. Would love to come back next year!

Positive and negative

House is clean and attractive, true to pictures. Backyard pool is very nice, could not use as much as we hoped due to weather. Property managers were responsive to some small problems with our stay. Check in was easy. A little disconcerting that we never received the partial refund we were promised due to some issues with our stay. The house is in a residential neighborhood that is a short driving distance to everything. There are no “spring break parties” or big noise at night, however there is CONSTANT activity and noise during the day - construction, noisy landscaper crews with blowers/cutters, pool cleaners and so on. Not as peaceful as we had hoped, to enjoy the beautiful backyard! Probably will not return.
