Amazing location and floor plan

This home turned out to be much better than the pictures. This house has so much space. We really enjoyed how at night time there was a parent side and kid side of the house when a break was needed. The set up of the bedrooms worked perfectly for our family. We really enjoyed the pool and being right off the circle. House looked fully renovated, very clean and really nice appliances.

Fantastic for family vacay

We enjoyed our stay. The house was beautiful and very clean, also equipped with everything you would want or need. Located within walking distance to St. Armand’s shops and restaurants. We rented a golf cart which made for a quick and easy trip to the beach. Everyone from 86 year old grandma to 2 year old enjoyed!

Outstanding vacation rental in great location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have rented this house before, and it was just as good as ever. It is perfect for a family vacation, and the location couldn't be better. We have only one small complaint -- the internet service was poor. Yes, I know, we were on vacation, but these days we rely on the internet for news, entertainment, sports, etc. And I needed to do a little business. A mesh router system in the house would be inexpensive and a huge improvement.

top notch stay

We absolutely loved this home and our stay in Sarasota. This is a sprawling home with plenty of room for the 6 of us and we hosted a get together of 10 the first night easily by the pool and dining table. The showers work well and the house was clean and well furnished. I had trouble finding the extra towels and we had a small problem with some outlets not working in one bedroom. Two calls to the property management quickly solved those problems. We used the pool daily and were able to walk to St. Armands Square. We also weren't far from Siesta Key or Bradenton where we visited to explore the area. I highly recommend this house and thanks for the wonderful vacation!

Almost perfect!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had 8 family members stay for a wedding weekend. The accommodations were almost perfect. The only unexpected thing was one bathroom between two rooms and the 4th bathroom on the other end of the house. The home was clean and beautifully decorated. Everything we needed in the kitchen was available - even plenty of spices in the cupboards. The screened porch was lovely as was the pool. two great living room/family room spaces for gathering. We did have an electrical issue when 3 of us were using blow driers at once, but the property manager had someone out that evening and all was well by the time we returned from dinner. Lovely home. Wonderful stay on St. Armands Key!

Lido Key Beach home

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The home was amazing. The pictures were exactly what the home looked like. It had everything- toys, beach chairs, plenty of towels/linens, strollers. There were only 2 minor issues. We had a spill from our 3 yr old and it would have been helpful to have a general cleaning agent available. Also the cable in the family room did not work consistently. We did have 3 other televisions to watch. The location was perfect. Just 4 min to restaurants and shopping and 8 min to the beach. The home was clean. Only wish home allowed early/late check out.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a great house, and location is excellent, except for the fact that there was noisy construction work going on across the street 6 days a week from 7:00 AM until 5:00 PM. Wish someone had told us about that in advance. Proximity to St. Armand’s circle and Lido Beach is very convenient, but I wouldn’t agree that Lido Beach is “walking distance”. Very happy with quality of furniture, amenities etc. except that bedding in “Guest Wing” was noticeably inferior to “Master Wing” and not what we’d normally expect in a house like this. All in all, we really enjoyed the house, there’s plenty of room, pool is great and we were blessed with perfect weather. Walking to St. Armand’s restaurants and not worrying about having to drive somewhere after dinner was a bonus also.

Beautiful home in great location

The house is spacious and the pool/amenities were great! However, the check-in process was a bit of a nightmare. First off, the instructions emailed to me had a code that didn’t belong to the lock on the door to the property. The folks at Vacasa couldn’t help since they thought the lock on the door was a Schlage, when in fact it was a Kwikset. Eventually, the rep on the phone gave me the code to the lockbox which had a couple of keys inside. Ironically enough, the code that was provided for the lockbox ended up being the code that needed to be used for the door—though I didn’t find out about this until after finding the property managers contact info inside. Second—once we finally got inside, unlocking the sliding door to the pool resulted in an ear-piercing alarm that we could only circumvent by removing the battery from the unit. The instructions given to me by the property manager (that she received from maintenance) just didn’t line up with what I was seeing on the device. At one point when dealing with the alarms, a phone rep at Vacasa said they had sent out a technician to help, but I later found out that no rep was sent, as any of those sorts of requests needed to go through the property manager I eventually spoke to, and she said there were no such requests put in. Seems like a disconnect between support and management. Despite the stressful first few hours of our vacation, the remainder of the stay was awesome! Would definitely stay here again.

Great Property with Inflexible Management

First of all, let me be clear that this was a beautiful property with everything we needed for our family gathering. It is in walking distance from the beach as long as you aren't hauling a big load. The pool was lovely as were all bedrooms. There was no ping-pong, perhaps because the owner's van was housed in the garage. There are many areas on/in the property where people can group up and gather... if people are there. In our case, I chose this location because it would be ideal. It was decent walking distance to the beach and close by some of our favorite St. Armand's shops and restaurants. My sister was renting on Lido Key and we were arranging a family reunion in the area. When COVID-19 came along, everyone backed out, understandably. My sister's rental was fully refunded. I received no such flexibility with this property but instead, "It is beyond the time for any refund." This started in early summer and continued as COVID rates increased. I am amused that there is a COVID flexible stamp of approval for this place. Because we couldn't cancel, I would have been out a large sum for a week's rental. Instead, my husband and I took our chances and enjoyed a huge place to ourselves (during Eta I might add). The only contact we had from management during our stay were auto text messages. Those made it clear there was no early check in or check out available although there were no previous renters the week before (no trash in the trash cans). As the hurricane approached we were auto-texted to move all the outdoor furniture inside. There was no follow up after the storm passed to see if everything was satisfactory. The reason I gave the cleanliness a lower score was because there was an awful odor when we checked in. The dishwasher smelled terrible. After we ran a couple cycles it seemed to improve. The dishes (cups especially) in the cupboards had a lot of residue and some of the silverware was not clean in the drawer. I communicated that there may be a problem with the dishwasher but I did not hear back from anyone. I can only imagine how difficult COVID-19 has been for landlords and for steady rentals of these large properties. I am a landlord myself and I know the feeling of having tenants who can no longer pay their rent. I felt throughout this experience that management was tone deaf. Again - beautiful property. Had we not encountered COVID, a hurricane, and a sad dishwasher I would be raving.

There was a group of 8 of us who all stayed together in this house. We each felt like we had our own space but able to gather together and have a great time. This house has ample space for big groups and the pool was amazing!!! The house has everything you can think of needing while in vacation. They respond very quickly if you have any questions at all!
