NOTES:
Glad you found us here on VRBO. We encourage you to patronize VRBO and the many other ethical and reliable booking providers of short term rentals. Prior to 2022 our Tropical Escape had been most wish-listed on “Airbad,” with 345 reviews (4.82/5.00). We can provide those reviews upon request - we no longer do business with that company.

We look forward to hosting your Tropical Escape in Sarasota, Florida !

We had a wonderful time with family in a lovely secluded location that was just minutes from shopping and grocery needs. The house was well stocked and were welcomed with a continental breakfast of muffins, fruit, and orange juice. Our dog loved walking the beautiful paths on the property.

Extended Family Vacation
Lovely location, accommodating & responsive host. Communication was excellent. Michael was very helpful in getting us settled in as well as offering local recommendations & assistance with the pool & hot tub. We were able to sleep 14: 4 people in 2 bedrooms & 6 in the 3rd. It was close quarters, but worth it to spend the holidays together.
