Perfect St Armands getaway

We were two couples staying in the house which was perfect for our needs. The owner/manager did a fantastic job rehabbing the house post-hurricane so we were able to keep our reservation. There were a few minor issues when we checked in and within an hour or two everything was solved. The combination of a great, well-equipped house, lovely heated pool, location and responsive management made for a perfect vacation. We hope to stay in this home again next year.

Amazing home, amazing location. We walked to Saint Armand's to eat and shop. Just a quick drive to Lido Beach, or downtown Sarasota. The pool is clean and refreshing.The home is lovely, well appointed and gated. There was plenty of space for the 5 of us. All you need to do is pack your bags. We hope to stay here next year :)

Great location

Loved that it had private pool. Wish there weren’t so many trees surrounding it. Seed pods leaves and even a few large palm branches were constantly falling in pool so we ended up cleaning it each day. Expected some debris in pool this time of year but it was a lot. Beds and living room furniture were very comfy. Outdoor loungers were nice but the rest of the outdoor furniture needs to be cleaned or replaced. Location was excellent! Walked to dinner each night.

Perfect position for St. Armands

We had a great time in this bungalow apart from a few minor problems with heating etc which we did get sorted. I would say a couple of annoying things we found were the pool heater was on 24/7, which kept us awake at night as it was right by the side of the bungalow , goodness knows how much the heating bills are, no curtains in the top windows in the main bedroom so we had to sleep with eye masks on … Also the kitchen saucepans were very odd and old, I suggest a new set is provided for the next guests . The beach chairs and bikes definitely need replacing. Very old and rusty . We did find the barbecue quite handy and used it most days .

Perfect location, fabulous house and dog friendly

We were fortunate to have 5 weeks at this clean and functional house. First the location is truly a block and a half from St Armand's Circle. But when we were in the very private backyard with the pool and palm trees we didn't hear anything except frogs. We have two dogs, and never had to worry about them getting out to the street. The outside area has 3 different relaxation spots, and all are gated from the road and from each other. The front yard has a porch-type swing and a lovely fountain and pond; there's a terrific eating area with large table and grill on the side; and then there's the beautiful pool area in back. The beach is about .8 miles away. We tried walking it using the buggy but it was too much for us, so we just put the chairs and buggy in the car and tried all of the beautiful Lido beaches. We had a single friend stay for a couple of days, and the house is laid out in a way that ensures privacy. Two of the bedrooms are separated from the master suite by the living room and kitchen so everyone feels like they have their own private bedroom/bath. We had a couple of questions, and Courtney and Steve were always responsive. The pool is not screened in, so the palm leaves fall in sometimes. Trevor, the pool maintenance guy, was there like clockwork every Thurs morning, and kept it clean and working. We had no issues. It doesn't get any better than staying at this lovely house in the best location I can think of in Sarasota.

Awesome stay!

We really enjoyed the location of the house. Each night, we walked to the square and took in the shops. It is about a two minute walk. We also walked to the beach, which is a bit longer but completely manageable. The day we spent on the beach, we drove and parked at a public lot so we wouldn’t have to lug everything during the walk. You really will have a tough time beating the location of the house. The house was clean and spacious. The pool was nice. Our only complaint would be that there was no hot water running to one of the bathrooms. Also, the toilet in that bathroom ‘ran’ frequently and actually, the tank was filled with hot water! So, it was a little disappointing that we couldn’t utilize all of the showers. And I am having trouble understanding why the hot water wouldn’t work in one.
