The place was clean and very nice. We enjoyed our stay very much. Two things to mention 1. Microwave not work2. Refidge seal needs fixing. These are minor for us. The home is close to the things we went to see and do. Thank you.

convenient location, big space
We enjoyed the house inside, and outside. The beach cart and chairs were perfect, too. The hosts are very professional, prompt and answered our questions quickly. When we go to Sarasota in the future, we will book at Sunshine Haven again! Published pictures don't lie, it's a great property.

Breeze or Not
On check in we found the house big and clean.Some areas of property need some repair and updating, couple of hazardous situations we encountered were as follows…1. Step from kitchen/dining area into second lounge was dangerous in the fact you couldn’t see the step-down, as tiles are all the same colour and no warning to sign visible. Two accidents did occur.2. Decking rail on pool was broken on arrival but not indicated, this was probably not told to owner who would have repaired I’m sure.3. Toilet system in bedroom 1 broke, but repaired temporarily by myself, needs further investigation.4. Hand towel holder not secured properly so came off in use, repaired temporarily again by me.5. Hole in bedroo 1 caused by door handle was done when we arrived, minor repair required by owners.Finally on a positive note the place was comfortable buyt not outstanding as previous reviews, but could be with some tlc on a large scale, as the pictures on ad do not reflect properly the house itself, with one major picture of grass which is non existent… The review is not meant to reflect the owner’s own perception of the house, but ours, we would certainly look to come back and stay again once property has been upgraded…Ken & Wendy (uk)

A must for a family vacation
Our family loved this home - from the thoughtful details like beach towels, sound machines for sleeping, sand toys, a wagon and a cooler for our beach days, it made our vacation so easy to focus on making memories. The house was clean, neighborhood is quiet, heated pool was lovely for our time we wanted to just be at the house and relax in the backyard or relax on the couch. A must stay for visiting Florida to enjoy the area but also have relaxing time at the house!

Have our teens space
We are a family of 5 and hotels don’t work for us. Each of our teens had their own bed which prevented bickering. When we arrived very late at night, it was nice that the outdoor and indoor lights were on for us. House was very very clean. Beds were comfy. Would recommend.

Review
I had an overall good experience staying in a clean home located in a peaceful neighborhood that made me feel safe. The proximity to Siesta Key Beach was convenient, although there were a few issues that affected my stay. The beds tended to squeak, and the rooms were too hot at night, which made it difficult to get a good night's sleep. Additionally, the main bathroom shower head required cleaning, and the tub took some time to drain. However, these issues aside, the stay was generally pleasant. Perhaps some improvements to the air conditioning and bedding could be made to enhance future guests' experiences.
