Chris was a very attentive and gracious host! The house was beautiful and perfect for our family’s visit to Sarasota. We enjoyed using the indoor and outdoor living spaces. The home’s location was perfect for visiting Siesta Key and downtown Sarasota.
We had a great time at this property. One minor issue while there and the hosts went out of their way to correct it and were gracious after it was fixed! We would love to stay here again. The beds were comfy and the house had everything we could have ever needed. The pool was wonderful. 5 STARS!
This was a great week for us. We're in Sarasota several times a year, and this house is in the top 5. Great location and nice to have beach chairs and bikes. Great host and responded quickly to our questions. We love to cook, and the kitchen had everything we needed and then some. Love that the kitchen is a part of the space so cooks could be a part of all activities and watch movies with family while prepping food.
Fantastic base for our 2 weeks summer break in beautiful Siesta Key and Sarasota. The house is very well presented and fully equipped, including beach chairs, parasol, trolley, BBQ, towels and even two push bikes.
More than enough space for the four of us to spread out and relax. The beds were particularly comfortable.
The stunning beaches of Siesta are just a few minutes away by car. (Free parking at the beach too - unheard of in the UK!)
Chris and Clare were always on hand to answer any questions. Thanks
This was a dream vacation for my family! We've waited years for this and it exceeded our expectations in every single way. Could't have worked out better for 5 adults and 1 teen plus one little dog. Beautiful property inside and out and perfect location. Can't wait to go back and would absolutely stay in the same house! Perfect location for absolutely everything!! 5 stars all the way thank you so much for helping make our dreams come true. Priceless memories for all of us....my 83 year old parents had a blast too and as experienced traveler's were super impressed!!
This was our first visit to Sarasota and wanted to be near siesta key and surrounding beaches. Pool house paradise met our expectations and more. We were no more then 20 minutes from many beaches. Supermarket and stores nearby and Chris was an amazing host, we didn’t have enough towels for our family of six so he ran out that same day to pick some up for us. The beach chairs that he provided broke while we were at the beach and the next day he had 3 brand new chairs at the front door. He also bought a stand up fan for me because I am always hot and my house is like s meat locker at home 😂. I can’t say enough great things. I will definitely stay at property that Chris snd his wife have. Amazing experience!
We had a great stay! The house was clean, comfortable, and in a perfect location close to Siesta Key Beach. The pool and fenced backyard were a nice bonus, and the hosts were friendly and quick to respond. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it!
We enjoyed our time at the Gecko house. The pool was wonderful and our dogs enjoyed the fenced yard. The neighborhood was quiet and the location was great! Chris was available for any questions we had and was very accommodating.
We really enjoyed our stay here and had no complaints! Chris was always very responsive to questions or concerns. Hope to go back again. Thank you, Chris, for a great vacation!
We were so happy to be able to spend a week here. The home was extremely clean & the property owner was very accommodating to our needs. Thank you for sharing this home with us and we hope to return again soon! Thanks!
Beautiful home! Very clean. Well appointed kitchen. Comfy beds. Perfect pool area. Our humble host: Goes above and beyond, easy communication. Someone you’ll want to work with in the future.
This was our 3rd stay at pool house paradise. It has everything needed for a perfect getaway.
The location is just right.
The hosts are promptly responsive to communication. Looking forward to next time!
Thanks for everything!
I stayed at Pool House Paradise for a week with my family. The house is super clean and fully equipped! The owner, Chris, was very responsive thru the stay and was kind enough to say hi when he was visiting the neighborhood. The location is great, very close to restaurants and supermarkets. We were all satisfied with the visit overall and planning to go back ASAP :)
(i gave 5 stars because I understand its very important for the business) the house wasn't the cleanest but everything else was practically perfect. If you ask me if I would want to stop by again next year, i would probably like to come back again.
Great house!! Quick drive to the beach and neighborhood surrounded by shops, grocery stores and restaruants. The house was super clean and so well stocked. Such a beautiful kitchen, beds were comfy, we enjoyed the pool every day! Chris was the perfect host!! So attentive, immediate replies to messages and all his attention to detail made for a super smooth vacation! We can't wait to book this house again!
House is exactly as described! Great location, short drive to all beaches and stores! Very clean and master bed is very comfortable! Pool area is clean. Chris has the house well furnished with beach towels, beach chairs and umbrella! Awesome well stocked kitchen as well! Will definitely stay here again! Chris is super easy and efficient to communicate with! We did not want to leave!
Christopher is the perfect host. His property is spacious, clean and well appointed with everything you would need to enjoy your vacation with the comforts of home. The pool and lanai are a relaxing retreat especially if you enjoy the sun.
Christopher is such a good host, he sent us a message as we were driving to Florida to ask if we might like a Christmas tree setup for our stay over Christmas. Very nice!
The neighborhood is very walkable which worked well for us as our dog needs several walks per day. If you’re from the NY/NJ area as we are, there is a terrific Brooklyn style bagel shop within walking distance of the house.
We will definitely be staying here again.
Beautiful and comfortable home in a great location! Wonderful layout! Our family of six had a lot of room to spread out, and everything you need is there! We really enjoyed the pool. Our grandchildren enjoyed the library across the street. Hope to come back again!!
This is our second time staying at one of Chris & Claire properties. We couldn’t be happier with how great they are. So kind and accommodating. Their properties have everything you need and are in great neighborhoods. A short drive to the beach, shopping and restaurants. We highly recommend their properties!!!
We had such a great week. The house has a great layout for a family and was very clean. The property manager does an excellent job with communication. Location is so close to the great beach. I would absolutely stay there again.
His interaction was excellent, he checked on how we were doing prior to arrival, we were delayed, car rental pick up, no staff. Owner actually stated that if he had a larger vehicle he would have picked us up, very caring, texted periodically. I would highly recommend
