Upon walking in the front door, you will see the living room, kitchen, and dining area. The floor plan of this home is open, airy, and very light! A large picture window in the living room floods the home with light; it's such a dreamy room in the morning with the blinds up, enjoying your coffee in the morning lights. There are remote-operated blinds, though, if you'd rather sleep in and keep the room dark!
The backyard is large and spacious with a totally fenced in yard. To the west of the home, there is space that is able to accommodate extra cars for small gatherings. As for Boats or RVs it can fit on the east side where the concrete floor is.
This beautiful home boasts 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, 1 of which is ensuite. The bathroom that’s not en-suite has a double sink and a bathtub. (There is a queen sized air mattress with bedding that is available for you to use upon request; additional fee applies).
In the garage you will find your necessities to have a wonderful beach day! Lounge chairs, umbrellas and some toys for the beach. You can also find the baby things there like a seat and crib.
This home is truly special in that it is in such a great location and has such unique features that you don't often find in a vacation rental.

July Stay

This VRBO was gorgeous. We had 6 people and it fit my family comfortably. The pool area was amazing, the pool is not heated but was warm in July. Tiki bar was so cute! We had a great stay and the owners were great to work with.

Fun Christmas in Sarasota!

The home was awesome! For the first time I found a place to look better than the photos. I'm had plenty of space for two families. The house is very comfortable, and a pleasure to stay in. The backyard had a terrific pool and an awesome tiki Hut! My family and I will definitely stay there again Eugene
