Could have been great
My 88 year old mom was here w me for a wedding There is a lot of fallout from the trees outside Leaves and slippery tree and leaf pieces as well as small coconuts .. a broom was not too much to ask . I spoke to shana about a broom .. I wanted to use as we were headed to a family wedding and wanted to take pictures outside etc .. we wanted to tidy the area at least for pictures . I spoke with her early I was so upset you guys couldn’t bring g a broom over by 4 when we had to leave .. my message said “forget it “ because it was rude of all of you to deny me a simple request As it would have it . She did slip in the stuff outside and fell . The 88 year old women FELL because there was stuff on the patio etc and her cane slipped and she fell … So your lack to deliver if denying me a broom was not appreciated when I wanted 6 hours . For the sake of Susan the owner, you should do a better job of customer service This property has a lot of work to make it worth staying here 1 the pool is substandard .. it was dirty on arrival It was not cleaned prior to my arrival as Brad stated .. verified by pool guy who didn’t show until late on Wednesday 2 the pool jets don't work .. not on jacuzzi either and the lights in the pool never came on I own a in Pennsylvania … I told you guys it needed water .. the kevel was dangerously low for the filter 3 the garage filthy with junk 4 the floors in the house were filthy I went under the bed to find s shoe and it was disgusting The carpet in the upstairs room was never swept prior to my arrival I walked in it w black pants and collected what dust that was terrible The dishwasher buttons do not work .. it only works on 1 setting I fixed the garbage disposal for you .. there were egg shells left in it for us The laundry room was filthy ., the door from the non fixed water heater repair was left off .. and the property was unsecured when we got here .. the repair person left the door open The brown umbrella is broken .. we bought a beach umbrella because the front has no shade The ice maker dies not work .. we bought ice all week. There are paint chip crumbs all over the floors ., the paint is falling off doors I added water to the pool .. your filter would have been fried .. there want enough water for the filter to run .. thru the skimmer .. I Had an extensive conversation w shanna and she was calling the pool company owner .. so I helped you out

Very comfortable, and close to downtown.
For being an old property, it was very well maintained. Everything we needed for our extended stay was there. Kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed, and it immediately felt like home. We also had our dog with us and he appreciated the large yard. Would stay there again!

Fabulous home for a two-family getaway
The Ringling House totally lived up to our (high) expectations. The building, though historic, has been carefully updated. Everything was set up perfectly for our group of 7: 4 adults and 3 teenagers. Both primary suites were spacious and had very comfortable king-sized beds. We spent several long days at US Rowing Youth Nationals, and it was lovely to come back to the house and jump in the pool. All the outdoor seating made for lovely places to enjoy our morning coffee. The location was fantastic - a short drive from the venue and the beaches, and a walkable distance from downtown restaurants (though given the heat, we sometimes elected to drive anyway - parking was super easy). We had a few maintenance hiccups (A/C and dishwasher) but the property managers handled them quickly and effectively. They graciously let us check in early, and provided just about everything we needed for our week away. All the towels and beach gear in the garage allowed us to add an impromptu beach day on a surprise off day. It was much appreciated. If we are ever in Sarasota again, we know where we'll stay!

Old Florida with upgrades.
We truly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. We spent most of the time in the pool, resting outside, or playing pool in the garage. It was awesome. We were close to the beaches, restaurants, and cute downtown area filled with adorable shops. Saturday morning they have a farmers market from 7am-12 in the downtown area. Loved it! The rental company was easy to work with and answered all our questions. We will be renting this property again in the future.

Beautiful historic property in Sarasota
We wanted a quick getaway during Spring break that wouldn’t be crazy like Disney but still had enough for kids to do. This property was perfect and exceeded our expectations. It is a beautifully restored home with a stunning pool that is perfect for younger kids. It’s close to shopping, siesta key beach (nice calm water) and the Mote Aquarium which was a treat for my children. There was a lot more we could have done in Sarasota but decided to stay in and unwind. The kitchen is fully stocked and we enjoyed eating at home a few nights, even though there are a lot of great restaurants in the area. The hosts provided a book with several recommendations. We will definitely be back and hope to stay in the same home away from home!

This is a beautiful property that our family will remember always. My daughter had fun chasing and catching all the lizards. My husband and I enjoyed our mornings by the pool. We all had fun playing pool in the garage. Our two favorite beached were Turtle Beach and Siesta Key, both beautiful. Lots of marine life at Turtle Beach. Sea Life Adventures had a great kayak trip through the mangroves. A must see! Thank you for a great stay and lots of memories!
