The only suggestion I had was that maybe a heavier, non seethrough curtains or blinds and also that smoke detector needed to be replaced.. this place is in a quiet neighborhood but still close to shopping.

The house was great with a nice relaxed feel and plenty of room for our kids to run around. Chris was great from the start offering some toys and a crib for our youngest. His amazing communication never stopped through the whole trip and when we were faced with all day thunderstorms, Chris and his wife showed up with a DVD player and a selection of kids movies and books/puzzles. The only down side was my family didn’t want to leave! Highly recommend this house to any family. ##### David B. Stayed 6 nights in May 2018 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Catherine G. Mar 6, 2017 #### Book it!!! My husband, two young children and I just got home from a fantastic week in Sarasota.The house is even better than the pictures. Each room is very large and there's a ton of room to spread out in the indoor and outdoor living areas. The screened in lanai /pool was wonderful for the evenings and with a fully fenced yard and beautiful trees, it was all very private. We could enjoy being "outside" without the bugs. What truly made this a fantastic experience for us, though, was the owner and property manager. Not only did they provide us with all of the baby necessities we needed (crib and highchair), but they even brought our kids some toys to play with while we were there! I can not say enough good things about this rental home. The location was perfect, walking distance to Publix, Walmart, Denny's, Walgreens and a short 10 minute drive to the beach and just 10 minutes to downtown - Siesta Key is paradise once again! ##### Catherine G. ### 8/10 Good #### Curt M P., Roswell, GA 30075 Jun 8, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication Disliked: Location #### Not What We Initially Expected The title reflects our initial impression of the property we rented in terms of location. When we sought a property in Sarasota, we were looking for a house close but not on the beach - either Lido or Siesta. A map showed many houses fitting that location, but in the process, we identified this unit that was further from beach than we had intended. However, once we were situated, we realized that accessibility to Siesta beach was not that difficult from this address. The pictures of the house adequately depicted the house and associated pool. We had three grandchildren with us ranging in ages from 11 to 14, and they enjoyed the pool very much. The pool is enclosed by a screened canopy that attached directly to the house. One issue I noted that is a potential problem is that when the children come from the pool into the house through a screened patio is that they leave a trail of wet foot prints, leading up two steps into the house, and when you step out of the house down two steps onto the wet floor there is the danger that you might slip and fall -- I did. It would be helpful if the floor in that pathway was either covered with an outdoor type carpet or else a slip proof carpet pad be placed by the steps to absorb the moisture and to provide a slip-proof surface to step down onto. The first night we were at the house, the AC shut down, probably due to the foot traffic out of and into the cooled living area because the sliding glass doors were inadvertently left ajar. I called the owner, and we were able to get the system running again, but he called his AC service rep and they came out the next morning and did some repairs on the system, and then it performed effectively after that with no other shut down issues. This is a 3 bedroom, two bath unit, and one bedroom is located at the opposite end of the house from the other two bedrooms - adjacent to the kitchen. That room was several degrees warmer than the other two bedrooms apparently due to the long run required to get cool air to that room. A small fan was provided to help cool that room and all bedrooms had ceiling fans for supplemental cooling. However, that room's temperature runs too warm for comfort during the hot summer months in Sarasota, so I would not rent this house a gain during that time of year. We enjoyed our stay at this house, once we worked through the initial issues described above. ##### Curt M P. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### sue b.

The location of this house is near the beach and every store you could possibly need. The beds and the bedding were excellent. House was cleaned impeccably, and I am picky. The pool is much prettier in person than the pictures depict and there were plenty of toys to play with. Big TV’s in every room. The screen porch is amazing. If you are visiting Sarasota and need a place to stay, this is it. The owners were extremely responsive and a pleasure to deal with. ##### sue b.

My husband, our grown son, his significant other and an 11 year old had a wonderful Christmas in this home! The weather was cold for Florida so we did not venture out much but shopping was really close so we cooked all our meals and just made memories! The pool is not heated so I was not expecting to be able to use it anyway. We had our fur babies with us and they enjoyed the fully fenced yard as much as the rest of their human family. The lanai was great too with a tv so on the warm days we took advantage. We are from Illinois and we missed a blizzard with temperatures -40 degrees so we were very happy to be in this cute little beach house for Christmas 2022! ##### Lori K.

Has a screened in lanai which comes in really handy for kids, or to just get away from everyone else lol. Around the corner from that is a perfect screened pool. The house is very close to a grocery store. Very well maintained. Owner was very responsive. Will definitely stay here again ##### Annette R.

Separate seating areas by the pool, kitchen, three season porch. The decorations were perfect and gave you a sense of being on the beach. The pool was so clean and beautiful. The hopes were excellent and would definitely stay here again. Definitely enough room for a bigger family. ##### Karen Kady D.
