This house was perfect for our family! The layout of the house is amazing! Being able to walk everywhere was so convenient. Everyone loved the pool.We will be back next year
Enjoyed our stay at this lovely home . Perfectly located in a nice neighborhood , to St.Armands Circle .Communication to manager was also easy although , we had no issues . Hope to stay here again in the future .
Great location, right by the circle and all the things we wanted to do daily. Only negative was pool is not screened in so there was stuff in it daily making it hard to enjoy.
Would for sure stay here again for future trips.
We were two couples staying in the house which was perfect for our needs. The owner/manager did a fantastic job rehabbing the house post-hurricane so we were able to keep our reservation. There were a few minor issues when we checked in and within an hour or two everything was solved. The combination of a great, well-equipped house, lovely heated pool, location and responsive management made for a perfect vacation. We hope to stay in this home again next year.
We had 6 adults, 2 toddlers, and dogs and the whole arrangement couldn’t have been better. Amenities were great, refreshing pool and enough secure outdoor space for the dogs. Location is steps from the circle. Just perfect. Will definitely stay again.
The houe works out perfectly for the 4 of us. Bedrooms are good size. 3 bathrooms is a plus. Plenty of space for eating, lounging, and the backyard and the pool are perfect. You can have shade or sunshine in the backyard. The pool is very clean and refreshing.
3 bedrooms 3 bathrooms is a great combo. The backyard with nice lounge chairs and a grill and a private pool. The backyard is perfect if you want the option of sun or shade. Kitchen is very adequate with a nice larfw dining table. TV’s were large and internet connection is very good. The hosts are very attentive to any specific requests.
Amazing home, amazing location. We walked to Saint Armand's to eat and shop. Just a quick drive to Lido Beach, or downtown Sarasota. The pool is clean and refreshing.The home is lovely, well appointed and gated. There was plenty of space for the 5 of us. All you need to do is pack your bags. We hope to stay here next year :)
Loved that it had private pool. Wish there weren’t so many trees surrounding it. Seed pods leaves and even a few large palm branches were constantly falling in pool so we ended up cleaning it each day. Expected some debris in pool this time of year but it was a lot. Beds and living room furniture were very comfy. Outdoor loungers were nice but the rest of the outdoor furniture needs to be cleaned or replaced. Location was excellent! Walked to dinner each night.
We had a great time in this bungalow apart from a few minor problems with heating etc which we did get sorted.
I would say a couple of annoying things we found were the pool heater was on 24/7, which kept us awake at night as it was right by the side of the bungalow , goodness knows how much the heating bills are, no curtains in the top windows in the main bedroom so we had to sleep with eye masks on …
Also the kitchen saucepans were very odd and old, I suggest a new set is provided for the next guests .
The beach chairs and bikes definitely need replacing.
Very old and rusty .
We did find the barbecue quite handy and used it most days .
Property met our needs perfectly. We could walk to dinner every night and had just a short ride to the beach. The inside is very well done and the beds were super comfy. Pool is really big.
Absolutely loved our stay at this property and can’t wait to come back. Short walk to all the restaurants and shops on St Armand. Can’t beat this location
A nice, well appointed house that quickly feels like home. It is, as stated, located within easy walking distance of the beach and numerous restaurants. We would definitely choose to stay here again.
The location was great, just as advertised. No issues or concerns with the property. House was clean and tidy, having everything we needed to enjoy our stay.
Great repeat stay - home is great and location is perfect!
This was our second stay at this property and was again a great experience. The property is a 5 min walk to the St Armands Circle shops and restaurants and the home has a great layout. Having 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms for a family with teens is perfect!
Both my family and I enjoyed our stay. The view, pool and entire place was very beautiful and clean. My family loved the space and how comfortable the area was. I would recommend persons to stay there. The service was efficient and welcoming!
