Just what we wanted
A cosy, easy spot with enough separate spaces for being together and/or alone. Appliances were easy to use. Proximity to downtown allowed us to find our way around and understand the layout of the area. Neighborhood is quiet and pleasantly shady.

Pickleball Road Trip
Six of us drove over to play pickleball and enjoy the Labor Day weekend. The courts were amazing, less than a mile from the house. The home was exactly what we needed and we were even able to walk to the FREE trolley that took us sight seeing. Everyone said they would do it again in a heartbeat!

Great family time
Quiet and relaxing.. Felt safe and the communication and response from the host was awesome. Near the beaches and downtown. Home clean and such cute decorations. Everything you need is there just unpack and relax. Great dining nearby and a covered parking publix, great for a rainy day. It rained one of our days and the games came in handy. We had a blast!. It was nice to bond and not be so caught up with electronics..

Perfect location
Ringling property was perfect for what we needed! My daughter was participating in the youth National rowing competition at the Nathan Benderson Park and I needed a place close to it! It was only 15 minutes and worked out well for us! It is also very centrally located to downtown and other places we wanted to see like Siesta Key! Property was clean and very quiet! It had everything I needed. Instructions were very clearly annotated throughout the house. We will definitely use again in the future!

Great Stay
The house is in a great location, quiet neighborhood, and close to everything. The owner really thought of all the things that would help a traveling family. Beach chairs, beach towels, cooler, etc. They also have created a great information binder that was very helpful for area things to do and see. We will stay here again if in the area.

Comfort,. Convenience, Style
This property has everything we wanted: comfortable furnishings and layout, 2 very clean bathrooms, a stylish and pretty beach cottage vibe, a driveway, a safe neighborhood, and an easy-to-work TV. Each day I saw a decorative touch I'd missed before - clearly a designer's eye at work. The screened porch and patio were a pleasure on warmer days. The owners didn't forget the practicalities, either. For example, a steepish step from the kitchen door to the driveway was marked as such, so no surprises. When I asked to get the entry info and address before we'd left home for Sarasota, I received a phone call the same day with all the details. Excellent communication. Downtown Sarasota and its many very good restaurants is 5-10 minutes away by car, and the area is very pedestrian-friendly so walking to town was simple and safe. It's only about a 10-15 minute drive in from the airport, and the house has easy access to main roads for travel to St. Petersburg and Sarasota area attractions. A great find!

5 day family vacation
The property was older but clean and well supplied with dishes silverware pots and pans etc. there was extra beach chairs towels umbrellas etc. would like to have had more tv’s in bedrooms. The shower water pressure could have been better but wasn’t to bad. Location to the beaches was good but had to drive several miles to get there. We new that up front so we were prepared for that. The neighborhood was really a mixed bag of older homes and some new homes being built. Never had any problems walking around the neighborhood. Overall we were comfortable with our stay.

Great home near downtown Sarasota and Lido beach
My 3 kids and I had a wonderful stay at this home. Its location was perfect with easy access to downtown Sarasota and Lido Beach. The house was clean, beautifully furnished, and had everything we needed for our short stay. Maureen was a great host and responded immediately to any questions I had. She even allowed my family and I to extend our check-out time for more than an hour so that we could do some quick shopping at St. Armand's Circle before leaving the area. There were plenty of towels and washcloths for each day of our stay. The kitchen was nicely stocked and I was especially happy to find olive oil in the cabinet (which I forgot to buy) in order to cook our eggs in the morning. Maureen also provided a binder with all kinds of information regarding the surrounding areas. She even included restaurants/menus and maps of the area. I highly recommend this property! Thank you Maureen!
