Our stay was amazing! We would definitely come back the location is wonderful, the house is exactly as the photos , clean , calm ,accommodating , the pool is great , my kids were obsessed with the peacocks that came to our door every day! We visited all the beautiful beaches around and all together, anyone giving this property less than 5 stars is insane! Thank you so much we hope to come back again soon!

Paradise Backyard

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We absolutely loved the secluded oasis of a backyard with a pool and gorgeous plant life! We even got to experience close up encounters with peacocks that would visit us in the front yard! Highly recommend!

wonderful vacation

we could not have picked a more perfect place to spend a week. First, the house is located in the most lovely neighborhood. Huge trees, beautiful vegetation, quiet and yet near everything. Don’t miss a walk around the neighborhood. The house is perfect, -clean, comfortable, beds comfy (important to me). Everything is thoughtfully provided. The pool, backyard is just delightful. We were blessed with gorgeous weather so we took full advantage of the outdoor space. This is the only place I would come back to in Sarasota. Highest recommendation.

Indian Beach Sapphire Shored

Loved the location, the house, the pool was great. beds were comfortable. Kitchen and items for use was sufficient. A coupe suggestions, supply enough toilet paper for the week, nice to have salts and pepper but there was very little salt in the shaker. Very inconvenient to have to buy a full container. Can’t take that in the plane, too big, same with toilet paper. Could only find an 8 pack. We left 7.5 rolls there for the next people. TV kept losing signal. Had to wait for the WiFi signal to come back. Happened frequently everyday. But the good by far out weight the minor inconveniences. We had a great time. Beautiful neighborhood. Would love to come back next year!

Positive and negative

House is clean and attractive, true to pictures. Backyard pool is very nice, could not use as much as we hoped due to weather. Property managers were responsive to some small problems with our stay. Check in was easy. A little disconcerting that we never received the partial refund we were promised due to some issues with our stay. The house is in a residential neighborhood that is a short driving distance to everything. There are no “spring break parties” or big noise at night, however there is CONSTANT activity and noise during the day - construction, noisy landscaper crews with blowers/cutters, pool cleaners and so on. Not as peaceful as we had hoped, to enjoy the beautiful backyard! Probably will not return.

Booked the property for a family wedding and stayed the weekend. The outdoor spaces were fantastic - football and grilling by the pool made for a heavenly Saturday, Very comfortable property, and the proximity to the airport made it very convenient to pick-up / drop-off family. A great overall experience!

Absolutely perfect!

This property was perfect. It is close to everything you could possibly want to do in Sarasota and is in a very safe-feeling and quiet location. It is exactly as advertised and has the cutest indoor and outdoor decor. Everything was spotless, and the beds were super comfy. The backyard is the best part and made us not really want to leave to go do anything else. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool and patio area. There is a grill that is fully equipped and an outdoor TV, which made for a lot of fun. We even had a peacock visitor hang out on the front porch for a few hours! Absolutely would love to stay here again.

Relaxing work trip

Property was clean and inviting. I had work and decided to bring the family. We extended the stay and had a blast. We had a personal issue reached out to the property manager. Without hesitation, she jumped right in And took care of it. That exceeded my expectations. If work brings me back. I would definitely book again.

Great for our girls trip!

We had such a fun time at this little house. The tv outside was perfect to watch by the pool. We are definitely planning to stay again! Close to downtown Sarasota so it was a quick Uber ride to several restaurants. Lots of peacocks roaming around the neighborhood and we loved it.

Amazing Place!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sapphire Shores. The place is clean and wonderfully decorated. And the back patio/pool area is amazing. Truly a place to kick back and relax. Lacey at Mainsail was super responsive and helpful with anything we reached out about. It was easy to get to downtown Saratoga, Lido Beach and even Siesta Key (depending on traffic!). Definitely would stay again if in Saratoga.

We’ll Miss this Winter Retreat

We had a wonderful week at this property—and had absolutely perfect weather! Enjoyed seeing roaming peacocks on our morning walks in the neighborhood, ate breakfast/lunch and played cribbage in the outdoor dining area, relaxed and soaked up the sun by the pool, and explored many local restaurants for dinner. Many amenities were provided and accommodations very comfortable. We played tennis at a local park, hit range balls at a local golf course, played mini-golf, and shopped at Ellenton mall. We were sad to leave this winter retreat!

Lovely home

My family of five stayed at Indian Beach Sapphire Shores for a week over Thanksgiving break. It's an adorable house that's been completely updated. Everything in it seems to be new. The beds were the most comfortable we'd ever slept in, and the whole neighborhood is very quiet and peaceful. The backyard is a paradise -- very private and with wonderful landscaping and a beautiful pool. The reason I'm not giving this property a five is for a couple of reasons: 1. the pool is advertised as "heated," and our intention was to find a place with a heated pool to basically spend the whole week swimming and relaxing. But the heat was very inconsistent. The first three days, I texted with the property manager a # of times, and she said the owners would keep the heat on and turn it up -- but the heat really was so inconsistent that we couldn't use the pool a lot of time. On our last full day there, they sent out a pool guy to check the pool, but even then the heater never clicked on. 2. There weren't any games, and there wasn't a guest book with recommendations/maps/etc. When I asked for recommendations, the very helpful and nice property manager sent me a list of names of restaurants and places but with no info or anything. The lack of games and a guest book just made it seem less welcoming/homey. Most of our stay was cloudy, and one day it rained, and I went over to Walmart and bought cards and UNO and a couple of board games. If the pool worked and if there were some games/guest book, this would be a 5 star rating.
