Appreciated having this nice place to stay when we returned to our former hometown.Enjoyed the good size of the house and the location close to downtown and Lido Key.
We were very happy with the house Lots of room had everything we needed in the kitchen. Close by restaurants and not too far from the beaches Ed was a great host
Ed's house was as described. It was very clean. The location and proximity to downtown Sarasota is great. We enjoyed walking around the neighborhood which is very quiet. Nice place to stay.
The home was older but well appointed. The yard could have used a some cleaning but everything else was great. It was close to everything we needed. The owner was responsive to our needs. I would definitely stay there again.
We stayed here when our daughter moved into Ringling College. Lovely home, cozy, plenty of room and close to everything. Ed was very pleasant and accommodating to our needs, a great host. The only suggestion I have is to install blinds in the first bedroom on left and master bath.
We really appreciated the warm welcome Ed gave us, and we enjoyed this beautiful, superbly equipped house with all the comforts we needed, and the peace and quiet of the neighbourhood. Thank you for the table football, we had a great time! This beautiful house is very well situated in SARASOTA, an extraordinary town! We hope to come back one day.
Very clean and well equipped with pretty much anything you would need. Quite and safe neighborhood. Close to downtown, St. Armand's Circle, Lido Key, Selby Gardens, etc.
We really enjoyed our stay in this house in Sarasota. It was clean and inviting with comfortable beds and tasteful decor. It was not far from the beaches or shopping districts and had a combiner location to the non-tourist part of town as well. Off the beaten path in a quite neighborhood which we appreciated after long days at the race course. Thanks for an amazing stay and gracious hospitality.
We were in town for a wedding this past weekend and stayed at this location for 3 nights. It was perfect in every way! The property looks just like the pictures. It was very clean, and the host, Ed, was very responsive to any questions I had. He also was accepting of a request I had. We definitely would stay here again!!
Quiet neighborhood but very close to main roads.Older home but very clean, spacious, plenty of dishes, pots and pans. Clean modern appliances. Nice backyard seating area. Flat sidewalk walk to downtown 1.2 miles.
The property suited our needs perfectly. We were in town to see a show at the Van Wezel theatre, and it was a very short drive, although not as "walkable" as I thought it would be. The home suite our needs well. Great quiet neighborhood and plenty of room to spread out. Beds were comfortable. A few more towels in the bathrooms would have been good but it was not a real problem. Overall I would definitely recommend.
Ed's property is exactly as described and was an excellent value when compared to other, similar residences in the area that charge a higher daily rate. We enjoyed the backyard, as did our dog. The climate control system system worked well as did all devices and appliances in the kitchen and elsewhere in the home. The beds were comfortable and conducive to a good night's sleep. Perhaps a new piece of furniture or two would "spruce up" this residence a bit, but that's a very minor quibble. This property is located in the Ringling Gardens area of Sarasota, which is a neighborhood where homes have been steadily rehabbed in recent years and also a neighborhood that's convenient to nearly everything, including Payne Park where we enjoyed several walks and Ed Smith Stadium where we attended several Baltimore Orioles spring training games. Communication with our host was very good, even though he was traveling during part of our stay. A big storm caused a loss of electricity late one night, and our host went to extra lengths to report the outage of power, which was restored shortly thereafter. All in all, a very, very enjoyable stay with no complaints. Thank you, Ed!
We enjoyed our stay here!! The checking was smooth⊠they left us in early and also let us stay late⊠so that was great!! The showers and the beds are great! And everything else is comfortable⊠the backyard had the big tree taken down now.. so it s perfect for sitting out in the sun and enjoying Florida..
