Sarasota Paradise Home Near Siesta Key Beach and IMG Academy

Overall, we had a pleasant stay, but there were a few challenges that stood out.The rental property itself was very nice and exceptionally clean. Despite being located right off a busy street, the fenced-in front yard helped make the space feel more private, which we appreciated.The host was responsive and communicated well when we reported issues during our stay. However, one area that could have been handled better was the check-in process. We did not receive check-in details until just a few minutes before the 4:00 PM check-in time, which caused some unnecessary anxiety.We experienced several maintenance issues during our stay. Two of the upstairs showers were not working when we arrived, which was difficult since we had five women in our group trying to get ready in the mornings. A handyman came fixed one shower, and then returned the next day to repair the second one. Additionally, the lighted vanity in the master bathroom was not functioning. While we appreciated that the issues were addressed, having multiple repair personnel coming in and out during our stay was inconvenient and made us question whether these items were being checked between guests.As a kind gesture, the host did provide a bottle of wine to apologize for the troubles, which was thoughtful and appreciated.Overall, the home itself is lovely, but improved quality control and earlier communication—especially around check-in details—would have made the experience much smoother

Good!

Great stay

We felt we were being watched all the time, the owner of the property did not share the codes to the gate/door until 30 minutes past 4 pm , time when we were supposed to check in. The AC was acting weird, we communicated it to the owner but got no help, even though we sent pictures of the thermostat which was turning on and off every 5 minutes, I have to say that we had a six month old baby with us, the temperature inside the house was very very hot , close to 90 degrees. the room with the bunk bed is very hot the AC barely hits there, four of kids had to sleep in the living room where there is a big ceiling fan.The pool was dirty when we arrived, we had to clean it ourselves, there was no propane so had to bring back home all BBQ meats. .NO bathroom by the swimming pool, need to enter the house to use the toilet every time. The shower of one of the bathroom upstairs is clogged up, there is barely no water coming out.Make sure yo take pictures as I did when you leave. we will not return to this property even if it is cheaper by houndreds of dollars.
