Great little property. Everything was as advertised, except we could not get access to pool area. Listing said access until 10pm, but signs around the pool said it closes at 6pm.
We enjoyed staying at this location. Home was very nice and clean .
Some things are a little dated and worn, like dishwasher and blinds on windows.
Pool and hot tub also very nice.
This place was great! It was steps from the pool and tennis courts and the complex was in a good location. The pack and play and other baby items were a huge help. Bea was responsive and easy to work with.
What a great place to stay & great host to work with!
Our family had a really terrific stay at this property. The location was convenient and we found the house was stocked with most everything we would need to days at the beach. Owner/management was great to deal with, even providing some local restaurant recommendations. When we had some trouble with the icemaker in the freezer, the owner was super-responsive to get someone on-site to fix it, and even bring us bags of ice. We would stay here again and recommend to others.
Good conditions in the house. Very pleasant stay. Thanks for everything.
Very pleasant stay. The house is spacious and with good amenities. The distance from the house to the beach according to Google map was 12 minutes not 5 minutes as it had been understood in the overview of the house. But in general everything was very good.
We had a wonderful week.
We were surprised by the advanced age of the house. But it's still very welcoming. Some minor work would make it much more welcoming, such as redoing the joints in the bathrooms. It's unpleasant to look at, but doesn't detract from feeling good.
Location was 10 miles +/15-20 minutes away from most sites and minimum 6-7 miles from beach vs online mis-description that it was 1/10 mile away from sarasota center. Good condition and nice layout and space although little dated. Poor lighting in the complex , a little hard to find the corner address that was hidden. Also surprised to find cost doubled by vrbo fees.
The property was clean, but the air conditioner did not work properly. There were cautions about putting it lower. It obviously needs a new air conditioner. The beds were the most uncomfortable we have slept on in years. The condo itself was stuffy and smelled musty. We did not sleep and left after one night. We would not recommend. The map location on VRBO is about 15 minutes north of where the place actually is located so the location was not what we expected either. Overall not a positive experience.
This was a very nice villa! The community was also very nice and clean. The owner was very responsive regarding a minor issue with the cable. We enjoyed our visit!
Beware of listing it is not where described. Beware of owner she takes no ownership over errors on VRBO and Expedia. We stayed here because it is listed as downtown and had good reviews. Reading further reviews we see others have pointed out the location errors which the owner stated she wasnât ever informed of. The owner blames vrbo, Expedia and myself. The address she lists is a smash up of 2 different addresses. I had to request true address a day before leaving because we heard nothing up to that point. We stayed at the condo because I had no trust in getting a refund from this crook. It is located next to a dead mall and a 50 mph road. There are no shops or restaurants nearby. This posting will result with another inappropriate rant from the owner without doubt. She will be reported to authorities. Beware of this place!!!
This rental was absolutely perfect for my husband and I for our 28 day stay. I wanted something that felt like a home away from home and this fit the bill. The floor plan is so nice and open, it feels more homey than other rentals of similar size. The master bedroom is very spacious with a giant walk in closet. So nice that the owner gives the renter use of this entire closet. We brought quite a bit of stuff including our two cats and had no problem feeling cramped. We loved the really nice skylight in the main hallway that brightens the place up so well. Great touch.
Despite sharing a wall with the neighboring condo, I did not hear one peep through that wall. I would've thought no one was over there if I hadn't met the renters myself. It's very soundproof and the neighborhood is quiet as well.
Very close proximity to the community pool, you can actually see it from the lanai. There's also a little deck attached to the pool area overlooking a peaceful little pond with a variety of birds.
One pet peeve of mine is low water pressure, and that was definitely not a problem here. In the kitchen and the showers, the water pressure was perfect and the faucets are obviously newer. Never had a problem getting water as hot as I wanted it both in the kitchen and the bathrooms.
We also loved the location. We enjoyed nightly after dinner walks doing the 1/2 mile loop around the community which is private and felt very safe. It is close to anything and everything you would need like grocery, pharmacy, retailers, restaurants. Only a few miles from the bridge to Siesta Key and a short 15-20 minutes to downtown Sarasota and the airport when traffic was light.
The owner was an excellent communicator when we had any questions or needed anything. She really went above and beyond to help us enjoy our vacation.
This is an terrific property with and even more wonderful and gracious host. Everything in the home, community and neighborhood was exactly as described. Bea went out of her way to ensure we were comfortable and all of our needs were met. She has thought of everything and stocked the villa with every pool/beach toy that a family might need. Top quality and we are already planning our next stay there.
This rental was awesome! The only issue we had, the neighbor the driveway is shared with. When we got there, they were 4 cars parked in the left center of the driveway making it impossible to get to the house. At the top of the driveway there is a sharp bend to get to the garage and they had a bigger truck parked on the bend in the driveway. It was impossible to get around it. Basically it was extremely difficult to get in and out of the place. We loved the setting and everything else about the home, especially sitting out back at night enjoying the environment.
