Great Sarasota Stay

We were looking for accommodation for our 1 week stay in Sarasota and Tropical Retreat was the perfect place! The home had everything we needed and we appreciated the extra attention to detail! The close proximity to Siesta Key had us at the beach when we weren’t golfing! Great vibe and we loved the lanai.

This is a very well appointed and designed property. The spaces are ample, to include two patios, a firepit, good sized bedrooms two bathrooms all on a nice lot and very convenient location to beaches, grocery shopping and other locations we were attending during our stay. Host was welcoming and thoughtful, and very responsive when we had questions, including when this writer was experiencing "operator error" (all on me) with the lock system. Due to weather we had an additional unexpected guest for two nights during our stay and this was quickly accommodated. Would absolutely return to this location.

Great Christmas vacation

We stayed for a week over Christmas and had a lovely time. Linda was very patient with some requests from my mother. With the four season room and screened-in porch the house is quite spacious. We loved eating on the porch! Kitchen is well stocked. Location is super convenient to Siesta Key. We would stay again!

Perfect stay for families in Sarasota

We had a wonderful stay in this vacation home, it has everything you need for a short or long term stay. The home is very clean, well decorated, and is appointed with quality items, including sheets, towels, and kitchenware. In addition, we appreciated the family-specific items such as a playpen, and loved the outdoor spaces and spacious garage for laundry and beach items. The hosts are very responsive and friendly. We would 100% recommend this home to others.

Wonderful home to relax and enjoy Seista Key Beach (10 min drive)

Thank you Linda and Husband, you are great.Our stay was wonderful! From the moment we walked in, it was clear this place was more than just a vacation rental, it truly felt like a home. The house was spotless, well-maintained, and incredibly comfortable.It had everything we could possibly need, a fully stocked kitchen, beach chairs and towels and thoughtful touches throughout that made our stay so easy and enjoyable. You can tell the owners put care into making sure guests feel welcome and well taken care of. Love the screened rooms out in backyard, one has windows and air conditioning. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to relax, Highly recommended—we’d love to come back!

My family and I loved our stay! This was our first time to Florida and it did not disappoint. We spent 5 days at Linda's property and absolutely loved having a screened in porch. We wished we could've stayed longer. Being so close to everything but yet in a quiet neighborhood. If you like having locally sourced fruits, vegetables and meats, visit Detwiler's Farm Market, a short jaunt from the house. We will be back!
