We didnât check in till around 2am and the house was super easy to find. Exactly like it was described. We enjoyed the pool and loved having the availability to use it whenever we wanted to. The siesta key beach was very close and just about any kind of restaurant you could want all within a few min. Beds super comfortable, plenty of towels and washcloths. Would definitely stay there again
The house was clean, comfortable and quiet. It was so fun to watch the birds on the lake in the mornings. It was close to beaches and other fun destinations and the owner was very responsive.
Very clean and well stocked, had everything we needed. Pool and patio also very clean, perfect back yard-very peaceful. Host responded immediately with any questions. Highly recommend this property. We canât wait to go back.
House is clean I liked the established neighborhood and reminded me of a street I once lived on and itâs relatively close to everything - good stay, quiet, & nice to look out on the lake. I had spent most of my life in the surrounding area so I canât speak to a first time visitors perspective but it was exactly what I was looking for to revisit for the holidays.
We had the best time here, not only was this area great for a family but this house was perfect. Great space, all the amenities you need, and the pool was the golden ticket. For the days we just stayed back to relax, the kids were able to swim and plan in the back porch area, bonus that it is completely screened in so no bugs bothered us. We would definitely come back and stay here again!
Enjoyed the overall comfort of property. Pool was nice. Found the house to be very well stocked. Bird watching on the lake was great along with all the other wildlife. Would definitely stay again.
My husband and I recently stayed here and it was great. The home was very clean and had everything you needed! The location near Sarasota's beautiful beaches was great. I do hope we will be able to return soon!
It had some minor problems and pool heater didnât work at first but they fixed very quickly.overall was good experience and close to beaches,shopping,restaurants
Communication was good. There were a few issues with the pool and host was quick to respond. Would recommend getting bigger garbage cans for inside and cleaning supplies that can be used.
Location was great. We visited 5 beaches with unique experiences within 15 min drive. Ample space for the family. The pool was a nice addition.
My only recommendations would be:
New(er) pots and pans, more cups/glasses, silverware, and plates. I would also recommend new lounging chairs by the pool - the ones were rusty and I was nervous one was going to break! Also - there was not enough kitchen (grill too) utensils. Maybe more hangers do shelving for clothes. We had 4 teenagers - so TVâs in the two spare bedrooms could have provided much downtime for the kiddos.
We appreciated the beach umbrella, the towels and beach towels, the clothes lines, the washer/dryer, cleanliness, location, comfortable master bed, spacious showers, pillow and blankets and letâs just say the fans for each bead room!!!!
Overall - we have traveled many places for spring break and I would FOR SURE rent this house again.
Green Pool, maggots outside, unhelpful communication from host
The pool was very very green and the water level was so low the skimmers were gurgling because the water couldnât reach them. At 8am the morning after we checked in, someone walked into the pool area unannounced while I was out there in my pajamas, which was uncomfortable and surprising. They filled the pool up and left, and I assume they treated it chemically. But the pool remained green throughout our 5-night stay. I messaged the host about it who said there shouldnât be a concern and that the pool gets tended to weekly. I then replied back suggesting that they should come out and take a look. It took multiple days to respond and the response I got was not helpful, nor was the pool ever fixed.
A few other things, the trash outside had maggots, which means no one had tended to the property prior to our arrival, and I truly believe the pool had not been tended to in some time. The bathroom was full of tiny flies (30+ small flies in and around the shower).
The house overall had a cat pee scent but I think it was just build into the walls/floor.
The bedding smelled fresh and they washer and dryer were of good quality, and everything seemed clean. And the beach toys and chairs were nice. But the flies, green pool, and maggots were quite concerning, as well as the unhelpful canned and late responses from the host. I would just expect a bit more proactive communication, including letting us know how to lock the door when we left, and maybe sending someone out to help the pool
