We loved it. Thank you so much for letting us stay. A few concerns thought. The door heading to the pool from the bathroom is stuck sometimes.

We, my wife and two dogs, had a second (2023 and 2024) month long vacation in Sarasota, FL. The house location and the house itself, is perfect with for us with a beautiful pool and plenty of room for our guests. We are definitely going back next year!

The overall home condition was okay but I feel it was a 3 star stay due to the dog hair found everywhere, from the stove top to my kids bed (the trundle), it does not appear the house was thoroughly cleaned. The property management was very responsive on the AC issue we had a day into the stay but we did not hear back on the dog hair comment. I washed all the sheets we used and we were mostly at the beach which helped, but a vacation rental should feel clean above everything else.
