City Escape near Sarasota Downtown

Great property had everything we needed. Beautiful pool. Lovely!

Enjoyed ever minute of our stay

Absolutely wonderful stay at this property. Kitchen well- stocked with anything one would need. Comfortable beds and linens. And then there’s the pool and jaccuzzi area…absolutely divine. We used the jacuzzi morning and evening. Communication was excellent. We’ve stayed in many properties in this area searching for our new home, and this was the best! And yes, we’re here permanently!

The pool and spa are lovely, and very private. The unit technically sleeps 7, but the indoor table seats 4, the bar seats 4, and the outdoor table seats 6. (We generally ate outdoors, but the table is vulnerable to rain.) Also, if you have a larger group, know that more than 3 adults could not comfortably watch tv from the sofa. We stayed for 3 wks, but lacked a dishwasher for the first week despite our frequent requests for resolution. Only when we told vrbo hq that we had to move, and vrbo contacted the owner, did the owner finally replace dishwasher. The double sink in the master is nice and shower is well-sized. Plenty of towels and beach towels, and the mattress is fine. The furniture is generally dorm-quality (drawers don’t open easily, etc.) There is a garage, but no remote opener for your car. We came to Florida for 6 wks, split between 2 places, both with heated pool/spa. The other owner read the electric meter and charged us for actual usage at the end of our stay (125 for 18 days). This place charges 20 a day—very high. Also, the contact number provided doesn’t work, so we did all our communication thru chat on the vrbo app. That was important and fortunate when I asked vrbo for help, because they could see the chat and all the issues we’d had. The neighborhood feels a little sketchy, and incessant roosters on neighboring lot, all day long. We got used to it, but it could be an issue for some. Summary—we stayed for the pool and spa, and didn’t regret that.

The property was as listed. It was peaceful and beautiful. The communication with the host (Lisa) was perfect. A peaceful retreat that we would highly recommend. Thank you.
