This rental was absolutely perfect for my husband and I for our 28 day stay. I wanted something that felt like a home away from home and this fit the bill. The floor plan is so nice and open, it feels more homey than other rentals of similar size. The master bedroom is very spacious with a giant walk in closet. So nice that the owner gives the renter use of this entire closet. We brought quite a bit of stuff including our two cats and had no problem feeling cramped. We loved the really nice skylight in the main hallway that brightens the place up so well. Great touch.
Despite sharing a wall with the neighboring condo, I did not hear one peep through that wall. I would've thought no one was over there if I hadn't met the renters myself. It's very soundproof and the neighborhood is quiet as well.
Very close proximity to the community pool, you can actually see it from the lanai. There's also a little deck attached to the pool area overlooking a peaceful little pond with a variety of birds.
One pet peeve of mine is low water pressure, and that was definitely not a problem here. In the kitchen and the showers, the water pressure was perfect and the faucets are obviously newer. Never had a problem getting water as hot as I wanted it both in the kitchen and the bathrooms.
We also loved the location. We enjoyed nightly after dinner walks doing the 1/2 mile loop around the community which is private and felt very safe. It is close to anything and everything you would need like grocery, pharmacy, retailers, restaurants. Only a few miles from the bridge to Siesta Key and a short 15-20 minutes to downtown Sarasota and the airport when traffic was light.
The owner was an excellent communicator when we had any questions or needed anything. She really went above and beyond to help us enjoy our vacation.
