Adorable coastal gem

My husband and I had an amazing stay in this adorable coastal cottage. The Vamo boat launch is literally the next street over and we enjoy kayaking, fishing and bike riding the neighborhood. Our dog particularly looooved the big fenced in backyard along with the dog toys that were supplied in the house. All beach supplies, toys and chairs were provided. Thank you so much for the amazing stay and hospitality!

Not fair to write a review as wife broke her ankle early in the month so visit was not comparable to a regular visit. Host was very quick to react to our "Not so usual" needs.

Hidden Gem

Excellent updated little cottage with nice backyard. Well decorated, nicely equipped and very cozy. Great to have the kayaks! Just 7 min walk to the launch place one street over. Just 15 Min drive to Siesta Key beach. close to major stores and some nice restaurants. Owner responded within minutes. Will come again.

Wish we could have stayed longer!

We had a such great time for our month long stay in Vamo. Our dog loved the big back yard. The house was cozy and sun filled, and the neighborhood very quiet. It worked well for us. We made use of the kayaks and paddled out to midnight pass. My husband enjoyed playing Pickleball at nearby Potter park. We did some fishing, hit the beaches, enjoyed the sarasota downtown market, Sharky’s on the pier, Evie’s tiki bar, Brohard dog beach, outdoor live music, and explored many other spots that were just a short drive. In the evening, we would often walk the dog just one street over on Vamo Dr to view the sunsets.

Beautiful Property, Clean, Great Yard, Excellent Location.

Located on a quiet dead-end street, yet just a few blocks from all the stores and restaurants. Two kayaks provided allowed us to get out on the Intercoastal Waterway with boat access just 1 block away. We were on a fishing trip, so it was perfect location with access to many popular beaches and fishing areas. House was a very clean, updated 2 bedroom/1 Bath with lots of great counterspace and everything you need to prepare meals. Comfortable beds. Huge backyard with grill, fire pit, patio lights. Even the small things that made a difference....beach chairs, beach umbrellas, coolers, kayak dollies, a hose to wash sand off the beach gear, washer/dryer...it made it as comfortable as being at home. . Would definitely stay here again!

Comfortably Adequate

This rental was clean and the owner was extremely communicative and quick to respond when a couple minor issues came up. She was also very fast at getting things resolved. I gave this house 4 stars because it was completely qdequate for what you might need durong your stay, however it lacked some extra comforts or conveniences. For 4 adults we had just enough towels, the odd layout in the kitchen made it difficult to locate things to use, alot of bedding and blankets were damp whem we arrived, and there are several handwritten notes around the place ("owners closet" "take the tradh out on tuesdays" ect) that didnt make you feel quite welcome or on vacation. We would consider staying again as there was nothing lacking, but would try to find another place with the extra details first.
