We were met by the owners Riccardo and Angie, very friendly and helpful throughout our 28 night stay, their house is far beyond the photographs, it is brilliant, the garden is 2 acres of lawns and huge tropical plants a beautiful place to relax in the sun. Ample private parking behind automatic gates, certainly a car is essential to access the many beautiful beaches and interesting places around Sarasota and Florida. This property soon feels like home, not a grey cold miserable UK home, a dream home in the sun. From 17th of December to 14th January one day of rain, 3 days cool, 24 days 24c to 29c blue sky, the only down side is leaving to return to the winter in UK. When we return to Sarasota we will certainly return to stay in Riccardo and Angie's home, 5 star "Brilliant"
