A great host and a wonderful lanai with pool made this an excellent choice for snowbirds like us seeking to escape the midwestern winter. The house was clean and well-maintained, located about 25 minutes by car from downtown Sarasota, wth its shops, theater, museums, etc. Although the houses on the block are spaced close together, the neighborhood is quiet, and you have complete privacy in the fenced-in back yard with iits delightful screened-in, heated pool. By the way, the extra charge to heat the pool is modest, and you can keep it as warm as you like, The host was responsive to texts within minutes and very accommodating--a
handyman was on the scene in a jiffy to deal with any problem that arose. The house was comfortable (the king-size bed in the master bedroom extremely so). All in all, we had an enjoyable, trouble-free stay and are pleased to recommend this property highly.
