Rick was extremely accommodating and always available for issues or questions. The house was clean and comfortable. The neighborhood is quiet and very well kept. I would stay there again.

My family and I stayed 3 nights at Rick’s place. It was clean, comfortable, and close to Siesta Key. Rick provided great instructions and check in was easy. The house was filled with supplies to take care of all our needs. We had a great experience and would definitely stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay over Christmas. The house was clean and comfy. Location was very convenient for us. Rick was flexible with check in and out times, which we appreciated.

We so enjoyed staying at the Half Moon house! It was very comfortable, cozy and clean! There were many personal touches and useful things to use for the beach. We have had some "unfortunate" experiences at other properties we have stayed at, so, Kudos to the cleaning crew here. We appreciated the good job they did. Rick, the owner, was a wonderful, responsive and friendly communicator. The neighborhood was nice and felt very safe. It is convenient to the beach, shopping and restaurants. We would definitely stay here again!

I came to Sarasota to celebrate my nephew's graduation from high school in Gulf Gate Estates. We were able to enjoy beaches in the area, restaurants, and the calm quiet neighborhood. The house was clean and fresh, with plenty of sleeping and lounging space, equipped with everything you might need. We did buy our own food and enjoy it there. We enjoyed the backyard space in the early morning in the lush Florida greenery. Whether or not you are in and out going places, or you just want to lay back and read for hours doing nothing, this place is such a respite. The house is spread out so each guest can have his /her own space. We were very comfortable and I would recommend this place to anyone for its tropical feel, cleanliness, and open space. Instructions were clear and simple. Thank you to our host who made our stay relaxing and enjoyable.

The images of this lovely property are 100% accurate, but they do not completely capture the warmth of this roomy, sweet suburban home. The kitchen has lots of cupboards filled with anything you could need, even junk drawers. The open kitchen and living room layout is attractive and convenient. The sunroom and patio are appealing, but I am sad to say were rarely used, along with the grill, bikes, and more. The bedrooms have large closets and the master bedroom has a comfy bed. It's a quiet neighborhood too. Any questions are answered in the detailed instructions left by the hosts. And this house is close to everything! Everything. Minutes away you have many small international restaurants on Gateway Ave. There is a Publix less than five minutes away. Going on a boat cruise or a trolley tour, get there quickly. Main Street, St. Armands Circle, and theaters are within 15 minutes. The beach, didn't make it there, but close by too. You feel like you are home when you are here.

We had a wonderful stay at the Half Moon. Rick was a great host and the house had everything that we needed and then some. The house was close to the beach and located in a nice quiet neighborhood. Thanks again Rick.

So happy we chose to stay at the Half Moon House! Rick was a great host and immediately helped us with any questions we had. The neighborhood is quiet and the beds were very comfortable! The house was just the right size for our multigenerational group! Grandma loved it and so did the teenagers, which made this Mama happy! Everything was clean and the furniture was comfy for lounging in the evening. The patio was perfect for a morning cup of coffee and some quiet time for reading a good book. The house is centrally located which made it easy to get to all our favorite places in the area including St. Armand’s Circle, the mall at University Town Center, Venice and of course Siesta Key! I can’t wait to come back again!!
