We had a great time in Sarasota; we met my wife's brother and his wife. We loved the location of the property; you could walk almost everywhere you needed to go. It was the most equipped VRBO property we have experienced. The property was excellent and well decorated with art. The host was awesome and very accommodating. We will definitely return; highly recommend.

Enjoyed everything about our stay. All amenities were great so many that usually are not included in a rental home. Our dog enjoyed the backyard and walks to the beach. The beach is so close we visited multiple times a day. Kitchen is fully stocked so we were able to even package up food in containers in our igloo. Everything was very clean, with beautiful calming colors. Will definitely return if we can even get it again. It’s always booked. Lastly, the host was very accommodating and responsive.
