House was great- spacious, clean, well-stocked kitchen if you want to cook. Pool area and backyard were also great. Plenty of beach and bath towels. Great location- walking distance to the beach and St Armand’s Circle. Very quiet neighborhood. Management company was very easy to work with and super responsive to any questions or requests. Would absolutely recommend and would stay here again. Thanks for a great vacation!

Terrific Property

I have done multiple VRBO stays over the past few years and some were a bit deceiving however this location would be identified as a home run. The property is clean and well-kept. The furniture and bedding were also very comfortable. The rental was pretty darn close to turn-key for my family on vacation, Loved our stay, and would absolutely consider staying here again when coming to Sarasota market.

This was our 2nd stay at this wonderful property. Best vacation rental in the entire Sarasota area! Great house, fully stocked with everything needed to enjoy the home and area! Second to none location!!! The house is very close, walkable distance to both the beach and bay access. Also walkable to all of the restaurants and shops at St Armands Circle. Excellent communication and responsiveness. Highly recommend!

Great Vacation home! Loved it!

The house was very clean and has been recently updated. The kitchen was stocked with dishes/pots and pans and loved the keurig coffee maker. (we brought pods from home but they had plenty for guest use) The pool and waterfall feature are beautiful, the hot tub was a bonus! Use of all the beach gear in the garage, chairs/umbrellas/wagon were greatly appreciated. The beach bikes were also great!(bring your helmet) Our pups loved playing in the grass area, loved that it's fully fenced. Quiet neighborhood, short walk to beach. Best vacation rental we have ever stayed in. Highly recommend, look forward to coming back!

Great Property!

We loved this house and the location! It is perfect for 7 or 8 people if you have two people willing to climb to a top bunk. Management was quick to respond to our questions. Our only minor issues were with the sliding door to the pool--it's very heavy and difficult to open and close. Also the master bath shower drain was slow. Other than that, it's a wonderful place to stay. The pool was absolutely perfect, and the house is close to the beach and St. Armands Circle! Thank you for a fabulous week!

Awesome place. Poor Management

The house is awesome and the pool adds a nice touch. Only complaint is the pool spa heater. You have to pay extra per night to have the spa heated for a few hours. No problem I don’t mind paying. I have a pool at home and understand that is cost to heat the spa. I was there for a week and paid for the spa to be on. $50 or $75 per night. No problem. Where the problem began is communication with the property management. First night we had no spa heat, after calling several times the next day they told us the they would resolve the issue. The second night everything was good. After that we never had heat. Called the management company again and again. We just kept getting transferred around. Long story short we got heat one night out of 6. After calling for months we were told we would get reimbursed for the spa heater. We only got reimbursed for 1 night. After that we kept getting passed around. Finally gave up.

Overall it was great! Location to the beach and St. Armand’s was great! House was beautiful.

There were some things that need to be improved. Drains in the showers were not cleaned properly of hair, water was not draining and we had to fix it. The outdoor furniture cushions were wet from the rain therefore we had to dry them. Couldn’t really sit on the couch outside the whole trip. Management company is hard to get a hold of for simple things like that or just to ask questions. Pots and pans situation could have been better. Cooking breakfast was hard, that is the only meal we cooked. If those things were fixed we would definitely come back and stay again. All in all great house.

Amazing

Let me start by saying the house is beautiful. When we walked in you could tell that it had been cleaned by not only the look of it but the smell of it. The furnishings were beautiful in all the rooms. All the rooms were exactly as pictured on VRBO. The amenities were great from all the games they had there which we took advantage of to all the beach supplies and the bikes. Kids also loved the ping pong table. The pool was great after a day at the beach. The location was perfect walking distance to St. Armands Circle and the beach although we preferred to drive to the beach. I cannot say enough about this property and how nice it was. If I had anything to complain about and I wouldn't even really call it a complaint is that at some point the pool guy came to service the pool so we were a little startled when a man just walked into the backyard, I think that's something they should mention and also the previous people left the garbage overflowing. And there was no ironing board on the premises that we could find. Beyond that it was a picture perfect week and we would definitely stay here again.

Perfect week in paradise!

We travel often and usually rent a house for our vacations. This one was by far the best equipped home rental we have ever experienced. The description doesn’t even begin to explain all of the amenities that come with this beautiful home! In addition, the pool is the most thoughtfully arranged design for everyone to enjoy. The location is absolutely perfect, within walking distance to Saint Armands Circle, the kayak tours at the mangroves tunnels, and the beautiful Lido key beach. The home was also completely spotless and meticulously maintained. We will definitely return to this beautiful home in paradise!

Beautiful home, fantastic location

this home was really beautiful, from the inside to the outside. the swimming pool was fabulous! a very short distance to the beach, shopping and restaurants. the house itself was wonderful, but there were some communication gaps with the property management team - lack of response and some small issues that never got resolved. however, the home itself is quite beautiful and has some very nice amenities and we really enjoyed sitting in the backyard and dipping our toes in the pool.

House was amazing property management was not great

This house was incredible! The decor and smart devices showers/tubs/beds and bedding were all high quality. The pool area was PERFECT for both adults and the three toddlers that were on the trip. The walk to st. Armands was too far w/ kids but would have been just fine with adults & the walk to the beach was SO close!! The house had WAY more amenities than advertised. They had everything you could possibly need for the beach and kids from a beach wagon, cooler, umbrella, tents and towels. And for kids they had strollers, a high chair, pack n plays, pool toys, you name it! The ONLY 2 drawbacks of the property was that there was only 1 roll of paper towels provided & that they didn’t have a normal coffee maker or Keurig. They had a Nespresso maker which we couldn’t find pods for at Publix.. the rental company said there should have been a few pods at the house but there were not so we had to buy jugs of cold brew and drink that all week. The main issue I have with the rental company was the shortness and attitude I received when I had questions during our stay. I called to ask about the ice machine at the property bc it did not work & it would have been perfect for filling the cooler for the beach. The girl I spoke with seemed annoyed and told me she had as no clue how to fix it. She said she would send someone out during our stay but it wouldn’t be the day I called. I asked her if she could please give me a heads up before they came & she told me they would text me. They NEVER texted me about it and on Saturday morning when we were packing up to leave (& had to be checked out by 10am) the maintenance man showed up at 9:30am to fix the machine. So not only did it not work our entire stay but she gave us NO warning of his apt. It was also TERRIBLE timing!!!! As soon as he showed up our toddler was totally distracted and kept running out to try and see what he was doing while we were packing bags and it totally delayed our process and flustered us. It was honestly completely unacceptable especially without warning. I feel like he could have at least waited until 10 when we were supposed to be out the door. I am not bashing him because he was very friendly and dealt well with our toddler trying to dig through his tools & getting in his way, I just feel the management company should have handled it differently from the attitude I got when I called about it to the time they scheduled him to be there and warning us of his arrival.

Our stay in Lido Ley was amazing! This house had everything you could need from shampoo, conditioner, soap, hair dryer, laundry items, etc..not to mention top of the line appliances, bedding, etc... Therr were 2 things that we had trouble with at first..the Roku tv’s ( the Mgmt company helped us figure it out!) and the fact that you are unable to enjoy the waterfall in the pool unless you pay extra per day to hear the pool because the heating pump runs the waterfall. Other than that it was amazing!

Perfect setting close to the Circle

Beautiful modern house in a safe, quiet neighborhood within walking/biking distance to Armand Circle and a short walk to the beautiful Lido Key beach. Lovely heated (on request for a fee) pool where we spent most of our afternoons. I knocked off one star only because the internet speed was so slow that it cause major frustrations when trying to work. I think the router just needs to be rebooted to get it back up to speed. Other than that, we'd be happy to rent this home again!
