Close to beach! Updated home with private pool!

Location is near the beach. Easy walk to Lido beach and St Armond circle. Beds are comfortable and all kings (except bunk beds). Pool is big enough for kids to enjoy. We really enjoyed the stay.

We were two families of 4 with 4 adults and 4 teenagers. The facilities were perfect for our vacation - super close to Lido Beach, within walking distance to St. Armands and with two 2-bedroom cottages so it was like the teenagers had their own place. The place had a pool (which can be cooled - I wish we knew that earlier given the extreme temps in Sarasota). The facilities were clean and the property management were extremely responsive to any concerns or requests. I highly recommend.

We had a fabulous time. The property was clean and the management super-responsive. Publix delivered out grocery order early, before check-in time, and their cleaners were happy to put it all in the fridge for us!The location absolutely cannot be beaten. 1 block from the beach and great snack shack (and bar) there, easy 10 minute walk to St. Armand's. The set-up with teo separate houses was perfect for our party with the adults staying in the back house and he 3 kids in the front, each with their own room. The pool was great and, unlike almost every other rental in the Sarasota area, was heated at no extra charge.Overall, 5 stars. Not fancy, not necessarily luxurious, but comfortable and complete. And for the price - lowest available by far! - it is perfection. We were worried about what we might find, wondering why it was "so cheap," but could not come up with anything after spending a week. Highly recommended and would absolutely go back.

Everything is excellent. We would like to repeat.

Pros: The location of this property is fantastic. It's a block away from Lido Beach. The pool was a nice place to hang out when the weather was too windy for the beach. Cons: We had cockroaches in our bedrooms (on our pillow as we slept!), the bathroom, the tiled area (former kitchen in front building), and the back building as well. (Management had exterminator come and spray outside and since there was not a dresser in the front bedroom for our clothes (we had to keep them in our luggage on the floor!), they also ordered a luggage rack that we put together ). Unfortunately for us, it was difficult to sleep well after that experience. Also, the front building is without an official kitchen. There is a mini fridge, a microwave, even a dishwasher, but no sink. If we needed to pour a drink out or wipe the counter, we would need to utilize the bathrooms. It was inconvenient since we thought the property had a kitchen in each building. Again, the location is great, but the price we paid for the week, I wasn't feeling as if I was staying in 'luxury.'
