Worth it!

Alice and her home were fantastic. The unit was exactly what was outlined on the post. The home was very clean and cozy. We had one minor issue after hours that could have gone bad, but one of the neighbors saved the day. Overall we would stay here again on our next trip to Sarasota.

Disappointed

Community is very nice. Property location is great. LR furniture not comfortable. When alarm sounded, tried to call, text both owner and manager. Neither answered. Tried to contact during check also, and no answer. This is not acceptable.

Best Stay Ever - 5 Star! +++

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! You can tell that Alice puts great effort into making your stay the best it can be. She was terrific with communication, very quick to kindly respond. No problems at all during our stay. She communicated well the arrival and departure instructions. I appreciated the absolute thorough cleanliness of her villa! The best I have stayed at! I especially appreciated that she requests no shoes in the home. Her villa is nicely furnished and decorated. She has a well stocked kitchen for cooking which I truly appreciate. Plenty of towels for bath and kitchen. Comfortable bed! Quiet area! We were very thankful for the use of the beach chairs and towels. The villa is as she described. It was just perfect! We will definitely stay again when we return to the area! Truly a pleasant stay! I hope all others treat her villa with the care that she does and truly appreciate the effort that she puts forth to make her guests feel quite comfortable and at home!

We loved the location. We prefer to stay in Village Des Pins rather than directly on the beach, which is more crowded, noisy, and expensive. You get a lot more space for your money here, including a garage, full kitchen 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a washer and dryer. The grounds are beautiful and peaceful, as well. We went to the beach daily, so really appreciated having a sturdy functioning umbrella with an extra anchor. The living room furniture and beds were very comfortable, and the kitchen had everything needed for meal preparation (including SHARP knives). Even the lanai screening was clean, which has not always been the case in other rentals. We enjoyed the neighborhood pool and jacuzzi a couple of evenings, and it, too, was very clean.

Lovely house!

We were very comfortable here and the owner was very responsive. Important to note that this house is only for a maximum of 3 guests which it says in the ad, but I did not notice initially. The second bedroom is a single with a desk which was convenient for us as my husband needed to work.
