The sunroom has a sectional, bistro set, two armchairs, and a 75-inch TV. Whip up tasty meals in the sleek chef’s kitchen, detailed with a farmhouse sink, stainless steel appliances, and a kitchen bar with seating for four. A formal dining room seats six for home-cooked meals.

Beautiful and convenient vacation home.
We loved the home’s amenities and cleaniness. The pool was amazing! This home is close to everything we wanted and needed in a vacation rental. Shopping, restaurants, beach and trolley are so close. We highly recommend this home and plan to come back soon!

Convenient, stylish and comfortable
Fantastic home. Convenient location to beach, shopping, restaurants, St. Armand's Circle, downtown Sarasota and more. Stylish décor and great layout with primary bedroom separate from two secondary bedrooms. Multiple sitting and dining options. Lovely heated (optional) pool and outdoor / garden area. Would choose this home again in the future.

Great Location!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Turnkey was wonderful to deal with. The house was very clean when we arrived. There were a few small issues and Turnkey was very responsive. The location can’t be beat. Less than 2 blocks from St. Armands Circle with a plethora of shopping and restaurants. Less than a 10 minute walk to Lido Beach and/or drive to Sarasota. The house was nice. Beds were very comfortable. Kitchen was serviceable for cooking as I cooked several dinners. It was great having 3 full bathrooms. We had family come for a few days. The pool was wonderful. The owners raised the heat as it was pretty chilly when we arrived. The only con I have for the home is that the furniture in the TV/Florida room wasn’t very comfortable at all. Plus, there is only adequate seating for 5 at the most when there is sleeping for 8.

7 out of 5. That's right! A Great Vacation Rental!
What a Great House! We had kids through grandparents staying over Christmas Break. Our favorite was the Heated Pool! Yes, the pool was heated before we arrived and we used the pool every day. Everyone, including grandparents swam in the pool. Really a fun time! The house was clean when we arrived and everything was well organized. We could easily find pots, pans etc. Washer and Dryer have a large capacity. WIFI was easy to connect to. -Which was a must for the kids. Beds were comfy to sleep in. The house looked like the pictures which was very comforting. The house is within walking distance to Lido Beach. Kids found many seashells there and the beach was long. -So finding a spot on the beach was easy. House is also within walking distance to shops and restaurants. Which is very convenient for those days you do not want to drive anywhere. For those who do want to drive: There is a Publix grocery about 4-5 miles north, several seafood market places, doughnut shops and a few really good seafood restaurants are a short drive. Disney World is also about 2 hours away for a day to get-a-way with the kids. I can't stress enough: The heated pool was a lot of fun for the entire family. From the grandparents to the kids, everyone swam. Having everything within walking distance was really refreshing and fun. This is one of the best places we stayed.

Lack of Commnication & beware of cameras
During our stay there was a flash flood, The water completely flooded the pool. While the flood is completely out of anyone's control, how it was handled afterwards was! The next morning the water was gone so, we reached out to see when they could have the pool cleaned so it could be usable due to the amount of debris in the pool. That text went completely IGNORED. The next morning, we contacted the 800# and did not receive a call back until 4:40PM. They said someone would be out the clean the pool the following day - WHICH WAS THE NORMAL CLEANING DAY. The next day NOONE STILL SHOWED! We had 3 full days out of 6 full days with NO POOL. The morning we left I reached out via email to see about a partial refund. I did not think it was fair to pay full price when the main amenity was not usable for half the days. It took 10 DAYS and many follow ups from me for them to offer anything and it was a slap in the face! I was given $113 back out of a $4147 bill for loss of the main amenity of the home. The listing does not mention cameras but beware there are cameras. I kind of expected the doorbell one, but there is one in the pool area too! It is not directly facing the pool but I am sure it can see some activity- plus I am sure they can hear everything. I think there is a level of privacy that is invaded there for sure! makes one question if there were other cameras. The master bedroom sheets were clean but stained and dingy. The rest of the home/stay was as expected.

Lovely home in perfect location.
We love the area, and this home was the perfect place for our 10-day getaway. The kitchen was stocked with every imaginable item needed, and the home layout was ideal. We can’t wait to return!

Electrical issues with NO RESPONSE/ RESOLUTION
We are very frustrated with our lack of support and help we received. The house overall was really nice. However, circuits would trip randomly. Sometimes a light would turn on and off without instigation, and other times just closing a door would turn off another light. In the bathrooms some outlets didn’t work at all. One day the AC and most of the electrical went out at dinner time when we were trying to warm up food for the kids and family– the oven and microwave were not working with the fridge going in and out. It was also 90+ degrees outside. We contacted the local manager Braella and we spoke with her about getting an electrician out. At first she was very responsive and was working on getting an electrician to come but wasn’t sure about the status of the electrician. She also said she would check with Vacasa about moving us and giving us options to choose from. I later received an email with only one option that wasn’t suitable for our family, so I called Vacasa and spoke with someone different about not wanting to move and wanting to get an electrician out. She told me she was able to schedule an electrician between 8-9 the next morning. We changed our plans to wait for the electrician, but they never came. We connected the local manager Braella and she stopped responding completely and never bothered to check if we got electricity again. Luckily the electricity eventually returned, but with the previous glitches of randomly losing it. It was extremely frustrating.

Excellent rental
This rental is two blocks from St Armand Circle and another two blocks to the beach. The house provides privacy with the master bedroom on one side away from the two other bed and baths. The house is well stopped, and the pool is directly accessible through sets of doors of the living room. The pool is saltwater, which was also really nice Vacasa was very responsive and checked in on us several times

Quiet piece of paradise
Great family home on a quiet street within walking distance to absolutely everything on St Armands, from shopping to restaurants to the beach. Never have to drive anywhere to get the best of everything on the Key. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay and cannot recommend it enough. Fully updated home with everything needed for relaxing and enjoying time away from reality.

Fabulous getaway property
In short - this is a fabulous house in a fabulous location on the Sarasota keys. All directions about stay were clear (except one - read below), emails arrived ahead of time. The house is overall very well appointed and comfortable for 4-5. Kitchen is fabulous as are TVs. The pool adds to the sensation of luxury. The kitchen has everything, and even a decent selection of spices etc - presumably accumulated as leftovers from guests. AC works great. Two issues that I suggest the management company to address: 1. It appears that the trash collection schedule is only posted on their Vacasa site for this property. This should be included in the welcome email directly. 2. There is not a decent vacuum or broom/dustpan. The Shark that sits in the garage is completely unusable. Fortunately we brought in minimal sand, but with a bigger company that will be a headache. Other than that - we had a great time and should we come back to the area this specific house will be our first pick (if available).

Nice house
Nice house and a very good location. We love st. Armands Circle and always stay at this location when we are in Florida.We enjoyed the pool, rooms and a new kitchen . 3 min walk from the town and 10 min walk to the beach .nice interior. What we didn’t like is that 1.the house was cleaned really bad .2. Check in time-3. Absolutely no response from the host, I wrote several times about the crib , but nobody answered. 4. We received an Email suggesting us late check out at 2 pm, what we did. But at 11 cleaners arrived at the house and we had to ask them to leave explaining that it is still our time. Than at 1 pm a man arrived and asked to take the laundry from all the rooms . If we were suggested that time and we payed extra for that, why we couldn’t enjoy privacy.
