Perfect for our Florida stay

This was my first time utilizing the VRBO app. I was apprehensive, however the owners of this property made the process incredibly easy. Beautiful house that was perfect for our Florida stay. I would highly recommend this property and would definitely stay again.

Nice

The only complaint I would have would be that there were only four parking spots. One spot is all I needed. And every time I left and came back, there would be trash cans, parked right in my parking spot so when I would come, I would have to get out of my car and move the trash cans just to be able to pull in. This happened on multiple occasions. Someone kept putting those garbage cans in the spot so that I could not park. And for most of the time, all four parking spots were taking when I arrived again. I would have to get out of my car just to move the trash cans over so I could park.

Cute and cozy

We enjoyed our stay, the location was great and the home was very clean and cozy ! We were however surprised to see upon arrival it was a duplex style… not sure what they call that in Florida. Luckily we didn’t have neighboring guests until our last night. We were looking for something a little more private because we had two screaming girls 1 and 2 years old that don’t know how to use inside voices yet... Overall it was a very nice home and had all the amenities. Would definitely recommend. Thank you for making our first family vacation memorable !

Absolutely fantastic

Our stay i Sarasota was wonderful. The space was immaculate and we had no difficulty accessing our place. The instructions were clear and communicating with owners was easy and they were very responsive to our questions. The place was near to where I was swimming and also near to restaurants and shopping The bed was so comfortable. There was no noise in the neighborhood. Highly recommended and we will certainly try to stay there on our next trip to Sarasota

Cozy cottage

This apartment was as described, clean and quiet. The bed was comfortable which is so important. We loved the washer and dryer convenience and the central air was always cool. We were so close to everything. NThe apartment is centrally located to Siesta Key beach and downtown Sarasota. Everything was within 10-15 minutes away. The trees outside provide some shade on the patio which was comfortable later in the afternoon after a day at the beach. You can rent umbrella’s and chairs at Siesta Key after 9:30am. Some restaurants that are a must, Owens Fish Camp has a fantastic menu, super casual Casa Mesa for the best soft tacos anywhere. The best Italian food we found to be Bevardis Salute in downtown Sarasota order the fried calamari appetizer and lasagna entree. If you love going to the gym while you are vacationing EOS fitness is 5 minutes away. We absolutely love Sarasota!
