Dec 30, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great stay by the water! While it was below freezing at home we had a great time sitting by the pool enjoying the sunshine and the view. Property is close to many shopping and dining options and is convenient to Sarasota and the beaches on Ana Maria Island. Newly remodeled kitchen and bathrooms made for a comfortable stay. ##### Kevin P. Stayed 14 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kim G. Nov 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Very nice and comfortable stay My sisters and I rented this place for a long-overdue family get-together. The home was extremely well stocked with all the expected things and many unexpected things! We had everything we needed and then some. The furniture was super comfortable, everything was updated, all the appliances were new and in great shape, and the showers in each bathroom were dreamy. Easy access to groceries, shopping, gas, etc. Anything you might need is right there. We did not get a chance to use the swim spa/pool, but we did take advantage of the outdoor seating area in the cool on the morning and evening to connect and enjoy the view. Overall great stay, and great communication with the owner. Thanks! ##### Kim G. Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Margaritaville Cottages Orlando with H2O Waterpark by Vstays](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Margaritaville-Cottages-Orlando-By-VStays.h35109061.Hotel-Information) > > [Playa Largo Resort & Spa, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Key-Largo-Hotels-Playa-Largo-Resort-Spa.h11919055.Hotel-Information) > > [Westgate Vacation Villas Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Westgate-Vacation-Villas-Resort.h98920.Hotel-Information) > > [Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa](https://www.expedia.ca/Tampa-Hotels-Seminole-Hard-Rock-Hotel-Casino-Tampa.h1044188.Hotel-Information) > > [Paradise Palms Resort Orlando](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Paradise-Palms-Resort-Orlando.h9013245.Hotel-Information) > > [Windsor Hills Resort by Global Resort Homes](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Windsor-Hills-Resort-By-Global-Resort-Homes.h2348246.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz-Carlton Naples, Tiburón](https://www.expedia.ca/Naples-Hotels-The-Ritz-Carlton-Naples.h788295.Hotel-Information) > > [Margaritaville Resort Orlando](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Margaritaville-Resort-Orlando.h24054711.Hotel-Information) > > [Quality Inn & Suites By the Parks](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Quality-Inn-Suites-By-The-Parks.h18866.Hotel-Information) > > [Encantada Resort Vacation Townhomes by IDILIQ](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-CLC-Encantada-Resort-Vacation-Townhomes.h4651255.Hotel-Information) > > [Encore Resort and Water Park at Reunion by Rentyl](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Encore-Resort-At-Reunion.h15190527.Hotel-Information) > > [Westgate Towers Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Westgate-Towers-Resort.h170878.Hotel-Information) > > [The Grove Resort & Water Park Orlando](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-The-Grove-Resort-Water-Park-Orlando.h4691657.Hotel-Information) > > [The Suites at Magic Tree](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-The-Suites-At-Magic-Tree.h3924.Hotel-Information) > > [Westgate Town Center Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Westgate-Town-Center-Resort.h426819.Hotel-Information) > > [Margaritaville Cottages Orlando by Rentyl](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Margaritaville-Resort-Orlando-Cottages-By-Rentyl.h27548551.Hotel-Information) > > [Orbit One Vacation Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Orbit-One-Vacation-Villas.h7233.Hotel-Information) > > [Westgate Resorts](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Westgate-Resorts.h33243663.Hotel-Information) > > [The Berkley, Orlando](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-The-Berkley.h1695932.Hotel-Information) > > [Shuttle to Disney World + On-Site Water Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Spacious-Condo-Shuttle-To-Disney-World-On-Site-Water-Park.h32562438.Hotel-Information) > > [Summer Bay Orlando by Exploria Resorts](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Summer-Bay-Orlando-By-Exploria-Resorts.h104060.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Miami West - Airport Area by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Miami-West-Airport-Area.h3672.Hotel-Information) > > [Windsor Palms Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Windsor-Palms-Resort.h28950888.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Vacation Club Mystic Dunes Orlando](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Mystic-Dunes-Resort-Golf-Club-By-Diamond-Resorts.h890951.Hotel-Information) > > [Champions World Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Champions-World-Resort.h50766.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island](https://www.expedia.ca/Jacksonville-Hotels-The-Ritz-Carlton.h27136.Hotel-Information) > > [Destiny Palms Hotel Maingate West](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Destiny-Palms-Hotel-Maingate-West.h427337.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Vacation Club Aqua Sol Orlando West](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Liki-Tiki-Village.h692650.Hotel-Information)
