Despite some snafu's when we arrived (incorrect entry code, incorrect wifi code, washing machine not working,
TV not having national channels), we had an enjoyable stay at this lovely, spacious home. It was very clean, insect-free, the kitchen is equipped with all the large & small appliances, utensils and cookware you'll ever need. The owner ordered a new washer/dryer set which worked perfectly. The location is quiet, and is ideally located halfway between Sarasota and Venice, near restaurants, shopping, golf and beaches. The house is only about a 20 min. drive to the best Florida Beach, Siesta Key. The garage has been converted to a rec room, so you must keep your car outdoors. We would have enjoyed using the recreation room, but it had an overpowering floral smell for reasons unknown. Also, renters need to be tech savvy and know how to stream TV programs on their personal devices because of the lack of TV channels. Overall, a relaxing, enjoyable stay!
