Dated and not very clean
This property is in need of some real TLC. Only supplies were partial roles of paper towel and TP. Nothing else. No wash clothes. Basic items you normally find in most VRBOs missing. Needs cleaned and remodeled big time. Bed sheets were old and did not fit. Won’t stay here again.

Perfect for large group
Not many rentals with five bathrooms!! This home is huge. We had a group of 12 and we never felt crowded. The only drawback was the pool heater wasn’t working and the pool water was only 74 degrees. Too cold to enjoy the pool.

A Good Group Accommodation
The house had ample space and included a large lanai and a pool where family members could gather together easily. However, when needed, the set up of bedrooms and bathrooms allowed for complete privacy as well. The house is in a quiet neighborhood but close to restaurants, stores and most importantly, the Sarasota airport. Should I need a large home again, I wouldn't hesitate to rent this one.

Great place for multiple families
Family trip, 3 families, 6 adults, and 5 grandkids under the age of 6. We had plenty room, every family had their own room/beds and connecting bathrooms. Pool area was great! Plenty of space, other than it would have been nice to have a bigger kitchen table, so everyone could sit together. Tiles in the Lani were slippery when wet, But they have plenty of towel to lay down, to avoid slipping. Quite neighborhood. 20 to 30 minutes from most beaches.

The property was exactly as described and fit our needs wonderfully. It’s is spacious and was like a home away from home. The patio and pool were awesome and we enjoyed them tremendously. I would stay here again and give it our recommendation.

Pretty Good, not as pictured
The house was like it' pictures and i knew that the decor was a little dated and could use a makeover but that was ok. However, there was a blue tarp on the roof in the back of the home that was NOT disclosed. Also, the pool pump was super loud so it was hard to enjoy the pool and patio when it was on. Also, the shower in the front room by patio did not work. Other than these items the home was clean and the pool got a lot of use when we were there.

Great Location!!! Plenty of space!
We had a great trip and the house was perfect! We enjoyed our evenings in the heated pool. It was quiet and private but close enough to downtown and the beaches.
The only thing the house didn't provide was shampoo, conditioner, and soap.

Wedding Rehearsal Lunch
Thank you so much for the use of this home. My son’s wedding was in Sarasota. We had the rehearsal from 11am-Noon and then the entire family came to the house for a catered lunch and pool time. Then all the groomsmen and plus ones (11 of us) had plenty of room to sleep over.

Spring Break get away
The house was nice and big for all of us and the kids loved the pool. The rooms were nice and spacious. The kitchen could use some more basic cookware and silverware to accommodate more people. It would also be nice to maybe have more patio chairs and a bigger table to sit outside by the pool. The drive to Siesta Key and Venice beach were about 45 minutes when we visited in March. Great weather and lots of stores/restaurants close to the house.

Overall - good experience
I primarily picked this property for the pool. Very spacious patio and private yard. House was very spacious with many beds/bathrooms. Quiet neighborhood. Decor in the house was a little outdated, and the lanai around the pool needs some work as many of the screens had holes/ripped. Overall, the property worked well for us.

Lots of bathrooms! Only sleeps 10
The house is amazing, 4 bedrooms 5 bath. Nice quiet neighborhood with some friendly neighbors that we got the opportunity to interact with. We loved the pool and the big living area for our group to relax. Would stay here again, no questions asked. Unless you want to sleep on couches, I would say it’s better suited for 10 people, not 12
