We were down for a family visit with others staying in various locations around town. The house well suited our needs for a great place to stay that was convenient to multiple locations and a nice neighborhood. The screened pool was in the fenced back yard and a welcome bonus!

Nicely done older home
We spent two months traveling all over Florida and this was a very nice home.
The property manager was amazing how quickly she responded to any questions we had, we would definitely return here.
We were here in the winter so the pool was a bit chilly (no heater) but was very nice and I’m sure it would be great a different time of year.

Close to town and Great House
We really enjoyed our stay. The house was very clean. It was close to everything with just a short drive to downtown or beaches. The pool was awesome and the patio very comfortable for hanging out. The King bed was most comfortable. Very responsive and friendly host who answered when we had questions within minutes. The books and games were a nice extra.

Old Florida with TLC
Well maintained and supplied. Weather temps in the 50’s limited our use of the unheated but very clean pool. We look forward to better pool use on our next visit. Appreciated the children’s life vests and toys for our grandchildren day visits.

Amazing Sarasota home
We had an amazing spring break with the kids at Kim's house. It's beautiful and it has everything you need - down to beach chairs, umbrella, cooler, etc. Very comfy lanai to relax in the shade while the kids enjoy the pool. And it's very close to everything - downtown, St Armand's, Siesta, etc.

Lovely home with bug-free outdoor dining
We had a comfortable, enjoyable stay at Kim’s place. She was very responsive to any requests. There was plenty of room for everyone to have their own space and we enjoyed eating outside every night without having to worry about bugs! The pool is also fabulous; a perfect place to cool off and for the kids to play. Would recommend staying here for sure!
