We enjoyed our stay at vocoSarasota.. The best part was the amazing and very accommodating staff especially the Shuttle drivers Rich, Barry and Cody. they were terrific. Rooms were very nice. I just wished they had better outdoor accomodations especially the pool area.The daily breakfast was good even when the chef had to be the Manager on duty. Just a few hiccups with that. overall it was a delightful stay and the location was perfect!!!!

We rented our kayaks from a place called Kayak Jack's. They were great!
