Enjoy clear views of the nature-filled backyard and riverfront while you indulge in culinary delights. Our home boasts excellent Feng Shui, creating a harmonious atmosphere that complements the indoor-outdoor flow.

Immerse yourself in the surrounding nature, and if you're lucky, pluck some fresh mangoes from our trees and treat yourself to a tantalizing mango margarita. We also provide kayaks, bicycles with helmets and locks, beach chairs, a beach cooler, an umbrella, beach/pool toys, and beach towels for your outdoor entertainment. We kindly request that you rinse, clean off, and return all outdoor equipment to its original location.

Nice house, cute neighborhood

The neighborhood is super cute, and really convenient. The house is also nicely updated and featured a lot of sitting areas, large kitchen and comfortable bedrooms. The home is a 1950's house, but it's updated. We had an enjoyable time on Spring Break. We avoided the crowds on Siesta and other keys by staying here, but the property was tremendously close to Siesta Key, so we enjoyed the beach and little village. Grocery store options are only a street away from this home.

Great for families

We enjoyed our stay, the kids loved the pool, and I really enjoyed the back patio with view of the canal. The beds are very soft and cozy and the kitchen is well stocked for basic cooking needs. The overall place is clean, but has also been well-worn. It could use some basic fixes and simple updates. Also, I failed to read the check-in instructions before arrival and found myself on the phone with VRBO at 10:40 pm, trying to get a door code. So, be sure you contact the host prior to your arrival!

Just Right!

This was by far the cleanest and most well maintained house we’ve stayed with VRBO and we’ve stay with quiet a few. If like us I’m sure you’ll have experienced showing up at a house and being so disappointed with cleanliness and description but this is not one of those. Location was fantastic. It is right in the center of everything and the property manager was always on hand with any queries. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again!

excellent property, great location, and spacious house

FABULOUS location. April 2023 During our stay it was,4 adults and 2 children (2 years and almost 4 years.) Spacious house in a wonderful neighborhood. Very quiet and nice mature trees. The house has lovely rooms, loved the mattress in the master suite, and there is TV's in 2 of the bedrooms. The place had enough towels for all of us, we stayed 10 days so had to wash multiple times as one would expect. The kitchen had enough of everything, only thing I would say is that you have to be a little inventive on some things ( we used a roasting pan on the stove to cook corn on the cob because there was not a large pot but worked out perfect) Also we cooked 8 out of the 10 days of our stay to save money, and the grill was used daily- worked great. The pool and hot tub area and the screened in area we used everyday it was a blast for everyone. It is small but perfect for a cool down and the kids loved it. The outside deck was great and the canal we a super bonus. We had all kinds of wildlife (manatees, turtles, lots of birds, and fish) loved this aspect. Contact with Rudy was easy and delightful, he responded very quick to every question, very good plus. The beach is a short 10-12 minute drive away everyday was an easy journey no matter what day of the week. also a super plus but Siesta Key has free beach parking. The shops do charge a heavy price to park by them 8 dollars an hour- so please just be aware. we parked at the beach parking and walked over. Would recommend for sure.

Oversold and not a 5 star property

This property looks great in the photographs but in reality it’s not perfect nor is it a 5 star property. To begin with the kerb appeal is disappointing with a rather sad and neglected garden to the front. The driveway surface is cracked and broken in areas. On entering the property on first impressions it looks good. However this property has the potential to sleep six yet did not have enough dishes or sets of glasses to cater for 6 people. There were three glazed ceramic bowls of which one was cracked and another one had a significant chip around the rim. Only one champagne flute, some mixed glasses but no small glasses. The numbers around the dials for the hob and oven were virtually invisible. There were very little plastic plates and cups to use outside. The lighting in the en-suite is dreadful particularly over the sink where one bulb was not working. No handles on the sliding door to the en-suite or closet. The living area sofas are tired, marked and not comfortable. The patio furniture on the deck has seen better days with rips and a cigarette burn to one of the cushions. The rattan table was damaged too. The decking handrail is very rough and there are spindles missing. The beach parasol in the garage was broken and could not be used. There was no visible cool box. The beach towels are cheap and one was badly stained. The pool was not warm enough for use until 31st December despite being there a full week. There is no screening around the pool so if you have younger children this would be a concern. The outlook to the rear is very pleasant. The covered area with the climbing wall has the potential to be a great space but it was under dressed with a sofa , coffee table and a random desk and chair. With a little more thought and an injection of imagination this could be a great space to be enjoyed rather than a walk through from the master bedroom to the kitchen or to the pool and outdoor area. We selected this villa as it looked very appealing and felt paying more would be a good decision. We were left dissatisfied and disappointed with the finish, comfort and lack of attention to detail. It would be impossible to consider this 5 star property in its current condition. There are too many flaws in its presentation that need attention.

Our second time staying here and we will be back again

My kids always asked to go back to the house with the rock climbing wall and we were so excited to see it was available for our recent trip. Our whole family loves this beautiful home and it’s perfect for our family of 6. The kitchen is GORGEOUS and always stocked with whatever we need (minus the food of course). The pool/spa is amazing and we love the upgraded remote control system. Great for relaxing after long days at the beach. Only a few minutes drive to our favorite beach, siesta key. Management is always friendly and accommodating. We will definitely look for this home next time we come to Florida!

Riverfront Delight in Sarasota

Great location with amazing views. If you like wildlife this home will not disappoint! You'll have a ringside seat for watching herons, egrets, turtles and more! We even had a group of frolicking manatees putting on a show for us. :) A daily favorite was sitting on the deck in the morning, watching the world come to life, sipping our cup o' joe and we thoroughly enjoyed the spa and pool. If eating out every day is not your thing, the chef size kitchen is decently appointed and had my appreciation each time I made breakfast or dinner. Close to Siesta Key, Lido Key and of course downtown Sarasota which are all fabulous in their own right, you can't go wrong with this VRBO. To top it off, the owner Chris and property Manager Rudy are wonderful. We did have a hiccup when we arrived but they were extremely responsive and quick to remedy the situation. I definitely recommend this home to anyone looking to stay in the area. Thank you Chris and Rudy! We tend to travel to different places rather than repeat our journeys but we will be back if we come your way again! Cheers, Rachel and Bill

Nice family getaway

The house was big enough for all of us. We enjoyed the pool. The master bed was broken or not on the frame correctly. Kayaks were available but no where to put them in. The host was helpful and attentive until we left. We were accused of breaking the door, which we did not break. Not sure why they reviewed us almost a year after our trip.
