Overpriced
"Basic cable" isn't even that -- just Roku. Washing machine in unlocked garage. Door locks were loose and barely work. Only a single exit to building. Property manager never called as promised. A mediocre property priced much too high. Well located. Well stocked. Quiet. Advertised as having "garden," which is untrue. Had to wash dishes before using. Dusty bedroom floor. Interior doors don't fit or fully close.

This property is way overpriced for what host is providing. Outside of property and inside is not up to the price tag they are offering it for. Host is not good at communicating.

The owner was very accommodating with our extremely short notice booking due to a family emergency and questions were answered immediately. The house is perfect for 2 people. Quick drive to the beach and parks. We enjoyed our stay!

Cute Bungalow
The size of the property was perfect for two although it does sleep 4 with a pullout sofabed in the Living Room. Positive feedback: The bungalow is renovated with a nice Kitchen and newer appliances and a good sized bathroom and shower. Not far from either Lido or Siesta Key beaches. Some personal preferences: Newer pots/pans in Kitchen would be nice, install Living Room TV in Bedroom and get larger TV for Living Room as sofa is too far away for the size TV in the Living Room. Renters should have access to laundry which is onsite, but I believe not to be used by renters. Renters should be provided beach chairs beach umbrella and a number of beach sized towels. Other notable items: Traffic in downtown Sarasota during the month of March is terrible due to construction and tourists/school break. Property is located on fairly busy street with no private outdoor seating. Table and chairs are under carport and visible from the street.

Don't rent this place
I’ve had great experiences staying at rentals until now. So, this is my first bad review ever. The bottom line is rent someplace else and you'll be happier. But if you do decide to stay here, free to park on the grass. Everyone else in the neighborhood does. And, don’t go out alone after dark. Here are the details: First, the property manager doesn't live in Sarasota. Moreover, when we were there, she was on vacation, as was her backup. So, there was no one to help us locally when we had a problem with the TV starting from the Thursday that we got there. We texted and got a text and a phone call back. And when we couldn’t fix it via the phone call, we were understanding about the fact that she was on vacation. But when we texted on Sunday night asking if she could arrange a service call to fix it, we got a snarky text back and then no communications whatsoever. I texted the owner, whose number was given to us as an emergency contact. He didn’t answer either. On Tuesday, she finally got someone over to take care of it. This may sound like a small thing to you. But we certainly would not have agreed to pay the price we did if we had known there was no TV. And the aggravation of not being able to even get a response from the manager added to the issue. By the way, the second TV in the bedroom never worked the whole time we were there. Second, I wish I could show you photos of the outside: it’s located on a fairly busy street next to a parking lot with nowhere to sit outside except at an old table sitting on the driveway and facing the street. Being in Florida, it would be nice to be able to sit outside to have a cup of coffee or eat breakfast. Of course, we could do that . . . and look at the parking lot next door. We had our dog with us, so nightly walks were necessary, and I discovered it wasn’t really a neighborhood I felt safe walking around at night. Third, we had rented the place before COVID-19 became a crisis. We had rented it for two weeks and decided to go home after a week because of the virus. Though I got an email from VBRO stating that more than 90% of its properties were providing refunds due to the virus, the owner of this place refused to provide any refund whatsoever. I recognize that he was not legally obligated to refund our second week’s rent, but it would have been the decent thing to do. I offered to go 50/50 on it. He still refused. So, know the type of person you are dealing.

Perfect for Ringling College
We rented this house for a few days when moving our son into the dorms on campus. It was very convenient to walk back and forth. We stayed 4 nights; maybe that is longer than most renters, but we had to buy more washcloths since there is not a washer/dryer. The dorm room-sized ironing board was a problem, also. Other than that, this is a great property, and we would definitely book it for family weekend or other visits... like graduation in 4 years!
