Great place to stay close to beach and amenities

Over the Rainbow was perfect for our two families of three. There was plenty of space and it had all the modern conveniences one would expect. We really enjoyed the proximity to the Siesta Key beach and hanging out on the back patio playing cards in the evenings.

Great location for exploring Sarasota

Michael’s property was clean, well-stocked, and conveniently located for getting around Sarasota easily. The beds were comfortable, there were chairs and good quality towels for the beach, the kitchen was well-stocked for cooking at home, and the hot tub was fantastic! We’d happily stay again!

Well Situated!

Great location with easy access to anything you want, yet very quiet neighborhood. The house was comfortable & the lanai was the best place to be - sunny, birds calling, relaxing. The owner was very responsive. Recommended!!

Amazing property and excellent host

This house was a perfect place to stay for our extended weekend trip to Sarasota. It is located in a quiet residential part of the area, but still close enough to everything including beaches and restaurants. Mike was super responsive to any questions or issues, and the house itself was a great place to stay — very clean, great amenities including nice touches like wireless charging pads built into the table lamps. Could not have asked for a better place to stay and would definitely stay here again if we make it back to Sarasota.

Well furnished home but issues with hottub

The host was very nice and tried to be helpful, but unfortunately the jacuzzi was broken during our entire stay. It should have been addressed and checked before we arrived. Also found lots of pests in the yard and had to give my dog a good anti tick shampoo bath because of parasites she unfortunately got on her from the yard. The house itself was beautiful inside with nice furnishings and decor, and a well stocked kitchen.

Excellent experience. Will stay again when in Sarasota

Upon entering the first thing I noticed was the cleanliness. The home was spotless. Furthermore everything was exactly as shown on the picture. the second and third BRs were large and comfortable with ample space and furnishings. The kitchen amenities were newer and all worked. The AC was cool and charging stations were available in the BR we used. Ample plugs for charging all our needs. Didn't use the TV much so no comment there. The only complaint was the hot tub didn't get over 100 degrees, but that appeared to be the system uses a heat pump versus electric. Still felt better than nothing. Outdoor space was great with an enclosed lanai and a perfect sized table for cards or games.

A tastefully modernized home in a convenient location

After a real bad experience with the maintenance of the property and the behavior of the owner's representative last time we used VRBO, this experience was a most welcome change that helped restore our confidence in VRBO. Over the Rainbow is a very well appointed and tastefully modernized older home on the south side of Sarasota, with a dog friendly back yard, a delightful screened in patio and convenient access to just about anything you would need for a home away from home. What was however particularly refreshing was the responsiveness and immediacy of the owner, Michael Hart, to a couple of small issues that without his response could have marred our stay (including by pointing out where the spare gas cylinder for the Bar b q was stored!). We most strongly recommend this property for a family visit to this nice part of the world especially if you are accompanied by four legged family members.

Exactly as Described and Pictured

We stayed in this house for a week recently and it was exactly as described and pictured. The house is extremely clean and well outfitted with everything you need to enjoy not only the house but the surrounding areas. The house is conveniently located to beaches, restaurants, shopping etc. The host Mike was awesome to work with and always responded to any and all inquiries extremely quickly. You can't ask for a better VRBO Host.
