"We had an amazing 5 night getaway-the house is exactly as shown in photos and described-had essential items readily available and a full stocked kitchen. The location was perfect-quuet and peaceful-allowed us to walk to St Armand's Circle for dining and shopping, it's literally only several feet away. Lido Beach is very near while remaining close to other options like Siesta, Longboat and Anna Maria which were all lovely as well. When we return to the area, this will be a place we would love to book again!

The best beach getaway!!

Review Date: March 3, 2026

"This was the perfect spot for our girls weekend beach getaway!!! The owners were very warm and responsive, and you can tell they truly care that their guests have a fun and enjoyable time during their stay. The house is very spacious and beautifully decorated — every room is unique, and you can feel the care and thought put into every aspect of the house. It was impeccably clean, well-stocked, and had everything we needed to feel comfortable right away. The location was fantastic — close to the beach and everything we wanted to do, yet still a peaceful oasis. We especially loved the outdoor patio, which was the perfect space for morning coffee and unwinding in the evenings. It felt like a true home away from home, and we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. We would absolutely come back again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful, welcoming place to stay in Sarasota!

Review Date: March 3, 2026

"We had an amazing stay at this home! From the moment we arrived, the vibe of the house set the tone for a perfect trip—stylish, comfortable, and full of personality. It felt like a true getaway while still being cozy and welcoming for our whole group. The location couldn't have been better—just minutes from the beach, making it easy to go back and forth for sunrise walks, beach days, and sunset hangs. The house itself was spotless, well-stocked, and thoughtfully designed with plenty of space for friends to relax, hang out, and make memories. The hosts were fantastic—friendly, responsive, and genuinely cared about making sure we had a great stay. They shared great local tips and were easy to reach if we needed anything, which made the experience even better. This place was the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable trip with friends. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cool, comfortable beach home with fantastic hosts!

Review Date: February 26, 2026

"Our stay at this property was honestly amazing. The moment we walked in, the house felt calm, welcoming, and really well taken care of. Everything was spotless and thoughtfully set up, which made it so easy to settle in. We loved all the little touches from cozy bedding, soft lighting, great kitchen appliances, to comfortable spots to relax both inside and outside. The screened-in pool ended up being one of our favorite parts. We could enjoy the warm Florida air without worrying about bugs, and it was perfect for slow mornings, afternoon hangs, and relaxing at night with the outdoor lights on. There was plenty of space outside whether we wanted to lounge by the pool, have dinner as a group, or curl up on the outdoor couch with a glass of wine. The location couldn’t have been better. It was close to everything we wanted to explore but still quiet enough to feel like a true retreat. The short walk to the beach was such a bonus (especially with a daiquiri stop on the way!) and the hosts had plenty of beach chairs and umbrellas ready for us. The hosts were so warm and responsive, and it’s clear they really care about giving guests a great experience. We left feeling refreshed, grateful, and already talking about when we can come back. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a peaceful, intentional, and memorable getaway.
