What a fantastic property. Location was amazing. The property was spotless. The host had excellent communication. The house was spacious and the backyard so much room for the perfect tan and pool was perfect all the fun pool toys and floaters tanning. This host literally thought of everything! For this property! Indoor and outdoor. We travel quite often to Florida and this was by far the best property we stayed in. We are a family of six and this property gave us so much space and an entertainment room plus a pool with outdoor dining which was fantastic. Each room with a TV. All the rooms were very spacious. The main bedroom was huge. It was home for almost 3 weeks and we loved it!! The close commute to Siesta Key Beach was perfect! A 8 minute drive to an incredible beach!The home provided anll the necessary chairs and tents for a perfect day at the beach! All the dinning options were all within a 10-15 minute drive of downtown Sarasota and St. Armand’s which are both must see! The local dining options are great. A 20-30 minutes drive will get you to the outlet mall and University mall. I highly recommended this property! It’s perfect for larger families! It’s great for a Guys/Girls getaway all round it’s just right for everyone. We look forward to coming back to the best beach in America and the best stay in Florida again next summer!Thank youKindly Tony and Family.

Four of us spent a week at Starfish Contemporary Home—it was perfect for a girl’s trip to unwind. The home is lovely with a mid-century but totally updated contemporary decor. We particularly appreciated all the amenities that gave us several spaces to spend time together but also time to spread out on the few occasions when we wanted a little quiet time (the multiple televisions were great). I loved the pool (complete with pool toys and floats) and the outdoor patio space with a tv. The kitchen is fully equipped—I can’t think of anything it didn’t have. A big plus is that it is close to the Siesta Key beaches. I’d definitely go back again. -Mary

The house is even better than pictures! All of our Ubers said how nice of an area it is and we couldn’t agree more we always felt so safe. Everything was high quality down to the bedsheets. We had a few issues during our stay but were solved within the same day and communication was stellar. Centrally located to many grocery stores and tons to do. We loved it here and will definitely rebook in the future.
