Sarasota Vacation

The home was exactly as shown in the advertisement. I would have liked to be closer to the beach. I thought 5 miles would be close enough, but traffic made it seem further away. We really enjoyed the Legacy Trail. It was close by and wonderful for biking. Also, my husband enjoyed the Pickle Ball Court that was also nearby.

Sarasota stay

Overall experience not great! Pool was not preheated like we paid for and was very dirty. It went 3 days till the pool go cleaned and the heater fixed. We were told by the host we would get refunded for the 3 days we had paid for a heated pool but it never happened.

Great pool, updated and clean house

House was clean upon check in and we appreciated the “extras” (beach towels, aluminum foil, well stocked kitchen) that are not always present in a VRBO. House is located within an established residential neighborhood and is close to shops and is an easy drive to the beach. The pool needed attention when we arrived, but communication was prompt and the issue was resolved. Thank you!

Paradise

Vitamin Sea was the perfect vacation home for our family. Plenty of space and nicely decorated. The home provided everything we needed and then some. The pool table and private pool were an added bonus, particularly for all of my boys. The Guest House was my home away from home. It was a short drive to several beaches, restaurants and shops. We will definitely return. Thanks for the memories!

Stay at vitamin c

Seven of us stayed there and more than enough room. The cost to heat the pool was not clear and required several phone calls. Safety issue - the coffee pot does not have an automatic shut off feature. Overall it was expensive but a nice place to stay.

Sarasota Fla

New clean home recently remodeled. Very convienent to downtown Sarasota and beaches. Legacy Trail for walking and bliking very close as well along with public pickleball courts. The home is located in an older neighborhood where most of the homes have not yet been remodeled. The neighborhood is quite and safe. Debbie was very responsive to any needs we encountered. Because the homes are older the bathrooms are small but clean and functional. Having two washer/dryers on property is very nice. I would recommend the property.

Spring Break 2022

Very nice house and accommodations. I did think it was strange that there were no lounge chairs by the pool. Lido beach was amazing ❤️When we checked out though, workers and cleaning crew came in before 10am check out time as we were packing the car and we were stumbling around each other so that was kind of invasive. Overall it was a fabulous vacation! Thank you!

Nice Vacation Property

The house was cute and just as described online. It was presented as very clean, organized, and stocked well. There were enough dishes, silverware, beach towels, and enough bath towels, hand towels, and dish towels were provided. Ample starter supplies were provided and much appreciated. The rooms were comfy and had the right amount of furniture for the spaces. The pool was well kept and since it’s shown as not covered, we expected a certain amount of leaves and Florida creatures would be there. It was no big deal to clean the pool daily for our needs. The stove and grill were clean upon arrival and gas (with an extra tank) were easy for use. The area isn’t the best, as far as curb appeal, but it was not bad and we never felt unsafe. However, the neighborhood was quiet in the evenings and we enjoyed evenings on the back patio and pool (highly recommend you bring bug spray). The grocery store was just a few minutes away and it was located not too far from the beaches. Definitely visit Siesta Key Beach, it’s beautiful! Convenient location and a great stay for our group of 6.

Great communication

My family checked in on 5/14/24 and checked out on 5/21/24. We loved that the company was quick to reply with any questions or concerns. For example, we were going to use the grill but the propane that was already on the grill was empty. I texted Debi and she was able to solve the problem quickly. We loved the house and the mother-in-law suite. The pool was amazing. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. It was easy to book and were able to find the house with no issues. It's located only a few minures from the Bradenton/Sarasota airport, which was great. We did have some recommendations: the master bedroom needs a blind behind the bed. The neighbors next door has cameras all around their house and some were pointed directly at this home. One camera was facing the main bathroom, which has a window in the shower. The window has a "frost" over it but you are still able to see into the window . We bought a cheap rod and curtain to place over it while there. The master bathroom is very tight, you cannot open the door all the way to get in it. The door hits the toilet. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. This home offered a lot of space and amenities. The pool was amazing. Property was well kept.

Ladies week all mature adults over 50

The area looked nice on photos but it is in a run down area and was not as expected.The entrance outside is awful! Bumpy & hard to drag suitcases on. Having NO pool heat was a huge bummer, water level was low on arrival and ran a garden hose cold water in it for a couple days. It was full of leaves and other debris and was not screened in so lots of bugs,snakes and sm gekos.Not enough pool towels for number of guests .The vacuum ran in pool all day and night but never reached to the far side near the steps and on times it leaves the water due to low water level and caused loud gurgling noises that can be heard from the bedroom near the pool.Outdoor lighting in pool area would be nice.We were not given a code or directions to open the gate so we were unable to use it, Kitchen needs more spoons, we left extras, no wine glasses, need bigger better frying pans the ones there have rounded bottoms and suck! More plates & bowls.Need tea towels&Oven mits. The step going into the laundry was a hazard, its small but is not marked and almost all of us tripped.There was no blind over bed master.Shower drain blocked gets up to ur ankles.No bedding for pullout in hut.The bedding on bed in hut was old & scratchy.Need headboard and pillow covers.The plastic mattress cover is sweaty. Mini split filters were rotten &blocked.No mirrors anywhere except jammed behind a tv. Move pool table to room where sofa is and swap rooms as u all cant sit n look at tv sideways.House AC is LOUD!
