We had a wonderful stay! The pool was a highlight of our visit—clean, well-maintained, and perfect for relaxing after a day out. The home was exactly as described—comfortable, well-equipped, and had everything we needed, including a cozy living area and a kitchen that made it easy to prepare breakfast each morning. The location was convenient, just a short drive to the beautiful beaches like siesta key, Lido beach and close to a grocery store and several restaurants. The host was friendly, responsive, and made the check-in process seamless. We truly felt at home and would gladly stay here again. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area!

The house was very updated and wonderfully set up with plenty of open area and room for the kids to run around. The landscaping was beautiful. The pool was very well-kept and clean and with all the trees and fencing, it was very private. Couldn't have asked for nicer.
Everything was great.

We had such an amazing stay at this vacation rental! The location truly couldn't have been better — it was close to the beaches, restaurants, and everything we needed, yet still felt peaceful and private. The bed was incredibly comfortable, which made a huge difference after long days out exploring and enjoying the sun. It honestly felt like sleeping at home — maybe even better! One of our favorite parts was the yard and pool area. The outdoor space was beautifully maintained and perfect for relaxing. The pool was clean, refreshing, and such a great bonus for unwinding in the afternoons. The host's communication was excellent from start to finish. They were friendly, helpful, and responded very quickly to any questions we had, which made everything seamless and stress-free. Overall, this place checked every box for comfort, convenience, and relaxation. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a perfect beach getaway!
Great company to rent a house though.

Really great place to stay, location is perfect for trips downtown or to Siesta Key, Anna Maria Island is a short 45min drive away as well. The house is perfect with lots of beach equipment which was appreciated. We had a small issue with the heating in the pool which was resolved straight away.

It's also a short drive to restaurants and grocery stores. We spent much of our time on the back patio by the pool. When we weren't enjoying the patio, we were at Siesta Key beach, which is only 15 min away. The only downside was the pool heater was not working, and the host was not able to get it fixed before we checked out. Also, the master bed was extremely soft which we weren't used to. We plan to visit Sarasota and Siesta Key again and will definitely consider staying here again
The house is perfectly setup for a great time!

We enjoyed how clean, well done the entire house is! Pool was perfect! Close to all the beaches we wanted to see from Anna Maria Island down through Siesta Key. Absolutely will reserve this vacation home again soon. Very nice place!!! All the needed items too from cooking utensils, pool gear, beach gear, and more! Thank you! Look forward to visiting again soon!

great space! loved all the closet space and places to put our bags during our stay! we appreciated all the beach gear for our use as well.
a few little mishaps like the pool being green for our first 4 days, and not being aware of extra people coming over to work on things.
maintenance was being done on the fencing around the house that we were not ready for, the pool service people came over days other than when we expected.
we enjoyed our stay and would recommend!

We loved our stay!
by Katelyn
5/5
First off, we would like to say we loved our stay! This place was gorgeous and is a great value!! Pros: -they had beach chairs, umbrellas, a wagon, and beach toys to borrow! -12 minute drive the the main beaches of the siesta keys! -the whole home was clean! -provided extra blankets and pillows -has all your kitchen needs! (Wine bottle opener, blender, standard coffee pot) Cons: -I didn't like how I had to download a separate app on my phone for check in instructions -this Airbnb is owned by a vocational rental company so all communication goes through a general phone number or a text message service. The wait to talk to someone was a pain. -the hammock was not set up -there is only 1 roll of toilet paper per bathroom-NO EXTRA anywhere -there is no book/binder with information in it like at our previous Airbnb's to provide information and contact info and tips for the area -the neighbor next to this property has a bull type breed of dog and came running at my daughter barking
It was a family vacation and everything was fantastic.

5/5
'Pros: The soaking tub is great. Kitchen is well stocked w/ cooking tools. Backyard landscaping is beautiful. There was 1 paper towel roll and 1 toilet paper roll in each bathroom. They included hotel-style essentials (shampoo, hand soap, 2 laundry pods, a dishwasher pod, etc.) Cons: I don't like their separate app. If I'm booking through AirBnB, all communication should go through there. The app never showed the door code so I had to call once we arrived. The kitchen only had salt & pepper - no other cooking essentials. This is the first AirBnB where there was no leftover spices, oil, ziplock bags, etc. from previous tenants, which is surprising. We intentionally left several items for the next persons including coffee, single use creamers, a couple spices, & a bag of sugar. We're not sure if the pool was cleaned when it was supposed to be as there was still dirt/particles in the bottom when we returned back after being away for a couple hours.
Our stay was absolutely perfect!

Easy communication! Home was comfortable! Issue w a bed was taken care of immediately. Drove from TX… Were able to accommodate early & late checkout w small fee, very appreciated!! Had everything needed for beach trips! Helpful hints since varies: no food seasonings, bring everything. Plenty of towels, pillows, etc. Paper products & soaps enough for couple days. Bring food storage needed. Would be helpful to add hand knife sharpener to kitchen since dishwasher dulls. Washed clothes & beach towels our last night but had issue w spin cycle working correctly for both loads. Rung out & hung to dry some before dryer. Washer needs serviced.

Quiet, peaceful and the neighborhood felt like home. Only a short drive to shops, dinning and beaches. The home was very nice, clean and equipped with everything you needed. My family an I enjoyed our private pool very much on our stay we were sad when our stay was up. The kids wanted to stay forever. They said all I had to do was change their schools.

House was perfect for relatives coming into town for my husband's Celebration of Life. My major complaint was that it was not available at 4PM as promised. I had relatives tired from traveling and they had to wait 1 1/2 hours to check in. House was charming and had beach supplies ready. Huge pool. Everything was great.

Family and I had a great 4 day stay, pool was great for my 4 & 1 year old, open floor plan allowed us to keep an eye on them the whole time, master bedroom/bath are amazing. Location is in a nice quiet neighborhood but close enough to both the beautiful siesta key beach (10-15 min) and downtown area for restaurants shops etc. If ever come back down to Sarasota will definitely stay here again.

We had an awesome time at the Turtle House. The pool was incredible and the house was very nice as well. It had everything you could need for a nice relaxing vacation and isn?t far from anything including beautiful Siesta Key beach and Lido Key. When we come back (and we always do because of how nice siesta key is) we would love to stay here again. Highly recommend ????

The Turtle House was absolutely perfect for our family. The salt water pool was a big hit with our 3 teenagers. The beds were so comfortable. It?s a quite neighborhood close to shops and a short drive to the beach. We enjoyed everything about our stay in this house. The house has everything you need for the beach too including chairs and umbrella. We will definitely stay here again!

This home was filled with all of the essentials to enjoy the perfect family vacation. We loved that we did not have to run out to grab any extra kitchen items or beach items. The house was very clean and we loved the privacy of the pool. Plenty of towels for the house and for the beach. Plenty of bedding and pillows with a few extra blankets. We truly enjoyed our family vacation in this home.

Beautiful place! Loved the pool and beautiful back yard. The host was responsive to questions. The host does supply a small starter pack of supplies but it?s not enough to last a larger group of people a week, so we did end up buying toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap, and laundry soap to get us through our stay. Overall we had a wonderful stay and would definitely stay again!

I had booked this Airbnb before the hurricanes and was a bit concerned when diving there on check in day. We passed devastation and damaged homes with debris all around. We were excited to see nothing of the sort when we finally pulled into the driveway. The outdoor space and open layout is great! The home was perfect for our family of 5 and only 12 minutes away from our family members house on Siesta Key. It was also the same distance to the Siesta Key beach where we went on Sunday afternoon!
