Our 2 month stay was fantastic. The house was everything we needed (and more!) and very comfortable. The neighborhood was great. I got to know many of the neighbors whom were very welcoming. Pool was great. Host was very nice and responsive! It did take a little time to get use to the traffic (cars and overhead planes) noise. We hope to be back!!

We spent the month of February here and enjoyed it very much. The exterior of this home is very attractive, but the recently renovated open concept interior is outstanding, especially the first-rate kitchen and bathrooms. We needed to get a butane lighter and also clean out a few orifices on the outdoor grill, but then it worked fine. The nearby road noise and jets overhead are tolerable, but they are a frequent presence. Other than that, the location is fairly convenient by car to multiple beaches, museums, shopping and restaurants.

We enjoyed our stay very much! The location is convenient to many attractions and the home was well stocked with essentials. It is a beautiful home, nicely updated. The property owner was quick to respond to questions/concerns.

This is a beautiful house which was recently remodeled. Everything appears to be brand new. Kitchen is well stocked with dishes, glasses, spices and appliances. The three bathrooms are new and stylish with plenty of soaps, shampoos, and towels. The lanai is nice, great pool and lovely landscaping (it is like a jungle oasis). What can’t be fixed is it is in the flight path of Sarasota-Bradenton airport. Also, it backs up to Bahia Vista Road which is a four lane thoroughfair through Sarasota. The noise is constant and sometimes deafening. There is no way to enjoy the lanai as it is never quiet. The design of the remodel is wrong. If an engineer or designer did this remake, he should lose his license. There is a beautiful new full bath with double vanity which was placed between the kitchen and the garage. It is nowhere near a bedroom. From the two guest bedrooms you would need to walk through the kitchen and living room to get to it. The second bathroom is in an open hall which is exposed to the kitchen. The second bedroom with king bed which could be a second master has no bathroom. The laundry room is up against this bedroom. That laundry should have been the bathroom and the laundry should have been between the kitchen and garage. The listing says it has a Smart TV which it does. What I missed in the listing was there is no cable or satellite. There are hundreds of stations but none you ever heard of. There are no local channels or NBC, CBS, ABC, CNBC, HGTV, Discover, Food, NGO, or PBS, A&E, ESPN, TLC or USA channels. Also, most lanais have a patio table setup on the lanai, this place does not. To be clear my intent was not and is not to disparage this house. It is to clearly let you know what you are getting. If you live in a city and noise does not bother, you then this is your place. It is close to everything in Sarasota and the local beaches.
