We had a large family ranging in ages from 60 to 8 years old … 15 in total The home is Beautiful plenty of room for everyone to escape if they needed to and comfortably have their own space.

Mar 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect stay at the Pirate House We could not have asked for better accomodations for this week-long beach / baseball / spring break trip for our group of extended family and friends. The house is large, comfortable, perfectly located, and well-equipped for resting, cooking, and hanging out. It's big enough to accomodate a huge group but still allow plenty of space and privacy for everyone. Beds are super comfortable. Roof top deck with hot tub is amazing at sunrise and sunset. The grill is large and powerful enough to cook big dinners in no time. The location could not be better in Lido - steps to the beach or a short walk to the circle for anything you need (mostly ice cream, in our case). Justin (owner) and Gary (manager) went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect, including picking up additional pack n plays to make sure the three infants in our group were taken care of. We will be back - if you are considering this house, just book it; I can't imagine a better place to stay in the area. ##### Gabe W. Stayed 9 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jay M. Mar 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family fun time We had a family bday to be in the area for and stumbled onto the Pirate house. We had 8 adults staying in 5 rooms with private baths for each. The house is well laid out with all the need amenities from plate, flatware, grills, lots of glassware and so on. The "smart" features are amazing and surprisingly easy to use so don't be concerned- more importantly Gary was more than willing to come by and clarify a few things on day 2. He brought us two irons and ironing boards too. I fell the most important thing is does the host want you to enjoy the property and come back and I would say there is no doubt that is the case. I want to add that the roof area is awesome on a warm evening when the stars come out or the sun is rising or setting, or just to get some sun during the day. The beach is literally 2 minutes walk if you are slow. We had several meals in even though there are amazing restaurants 4 minutes away at St. Armand's circle. It was great to go have a meal and drinks and not have to drive back when we did go out. The game room was a blast too. If you have a small group and want to go enjoy an amazing area in an awesome house- this it the place. ##### Jay M. Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mitchell S. Oct 24, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Loved our stay at The Pirate House! The Pirate House is truly a treasure on Lido Key! It was a perfect home for our destination beach wedding. This house is spectacular! It is loaded with modern technologies which makes it great for entertaining. We loved the SONOS system to play music throughout the house, from the Roof top, to the balcanys, to the ground level gameroom. The main floor (2nd story) has a great room which was perfect for our family to gather in. The views from the balconies are simply breathtaking! Bonus note: All drinking water and ice makers are supported by Reverse Osmosis Systems (yeah, I’m a water snob). This house is loocated a short distance from St Armand’s Circle and the beach where our wedding was held. Our daughter, the bride, was thrilled that the masterbedroom and bath was large enough for her and all bridesmaids to get ready in. That really helped with the wedding day jitters! This room also has a world class shower and water closet. We were extremely pleased with the communication with the host and the local management contact. We also appreciated all of the additional extras that were provided by the host. This is a very clean and classy atmosphere. We highly recommend “The Pirate House” and look forward to staying here again. ##### Mitchell S. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephanie L.

We had a wide range of ages (2 year old, teenage girls and adults) and everyone had plenty of space. If yo are considering renting this house, do it, you will not regret it! We will be back!!! ##### Stephanie L. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rich G. Jun 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Love the Pirate House Property was beautiful, the pool was under construction and we knew that going in, but the team worked hard to get the pool ready for our family, and maybe was not totally completed but was amazing and we were able to use it - a big bonus for older parents traveling with us. Can't say enough about Justin and Gary, great to work with, awesome communication, and we look forward to staying here again. Best place by beach in Sarasota, no question, and I've been coming here for 30+ years. ##### Rich G. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jessica L. Jun 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect Beach Rental We stayed at The Pirate House while in Sarasota for our destination wedding. I cannot say enough about this house as it fit all of our needs perfectly! The fact that each bedroom had it's own en suite bathroom was very convenient for us as well as our family that stayed with us. We were very impressed with all the unique and high end features in this home, which made leaving even more difficult than it already was! All of us kept saying "they thought of everything" as in the house is stocked with everything you will need for your stay! The house is conveniently located within a very short walking distance of St. Armands Circle which was great to be able to walk to for food, drinks, and shopping. The spectacular Lido Beach, where our ceremony was held, is a quick one minute walk from the house. Most importantly, it was an absolute pleasure to work with Gary. The ease of communication made my life easier while planning all the other details of my wedding. I hope to be able to return to The Pirate House in the future! ##### Jessica L.
