Amazing stay

Staying at this property made our trip so much better. It was an ideal location being just a bike ride away from the beach. I stayed with 4 of my friends and we had plenty of enough space. The hosts made sure we had a smooth check in and an easy to understand check out process. I highly recommend and would stay again.

Stayed for 32 days. Quiet, safe, and accessible neighborhood. Property is large, clean, and well equipped. David was friendly and responsive to any problems or concerns. He also let us use the garage, which was not included in the contract. Overall stay was pleasant!

Family Trip to Sarasota / Siesta Key

We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home! It was extremely clean, well organized and updated. I'll be honest the main reason I booked is because it is family owned and that gave me comfort in knowing that we would be taken care of. And we were. This home is bigger than the pictures show! It was a treat to use the awesome walk in closet! There was plenty of space to lounge and relax! Only 1 TV for those who need separate viewing areas. Loved the large island in the kitchen and it had everything we needed (minus a rolling pin for making pizza dough :)) It was in the perfect location in a quiet neighborhood; just a few miles from Siesta Key beach. I was able to take long morning walks to the beach. Truly a perfect vacation spot for my family. Thank you, owners!

Fabulous home!

We were attending a wedding in Siesta Key and were so pleased we booked this gem. The location was perfect. The house was extremely spacious and worked well for our family. The owners checked in with us throughout our stay to see if we needed anything. We had a wonderful stay. I highly recommend renting this house for your stay in the Sarasota area.

Bike to Siesta Key

The house was in great condition and the owners were great to work with, answered questions promptly. We rented bikes for the week, which was great! We could bike the neighborhood, found a farmer's market in the local park and easily bike to Siesta Key and the beach. We had a great time.

Perfect location..fabulous house and tremendous welcoming host.

What a great experience from start to finish. David went above and beyond to meet our every need with a disabled husband needing special attention to cleanliness. Wonderful house in a quiet neighborhood with use of bicycles to get us to the park with kids and to the gorgeous beach nearby. When you choose this house every need is met for a terrific stay. Special memories made all because of these superhosts.

Wonderful experience

We feel so lucky we decided on this rental house for our trip to Siesta Key. David was incredibly easy to communicate with, responding quickly and kindly with any of our questions. The house was clean, spacious, and comfortable. Excellent value especially for a popular destination. We loved being a 10 minute drive from Siesta Key beach and the many restaurants and shops on Siesta Key. Would highly recommend especially to a family with young kids who could use some space for the little ones.

Siesta Key Getaway

We absolutely loved our experience at Molly & Dave’s house on Meadowood. As a family of 5, we could easily spread out and take advantage of all that Siesta Key has to offer. We enjoyed seeing geckos in the backyard and having breakfast in the courtyard. The home is centrally located to many conveniences (groceries, shopping) as well as to the beaches. We rode the bikes provided and used the various beach toys. Donna and Milo next door are so welcoming and friendly too!

The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

We booked a 3 week stay. The GOOD- 1. Location - Conveniently located near Siesta Key. This is the best thing about the property. 2. Arrival - Molly was polite and professional via email. Met David at the House, who was flexible in meeting time. Oddly, David instructed us to do the house laundry for him at checkout. The BAD- 1. BUGS in the BED the first night!!!!! Laying in bed the first night bugs started flying in my face to the light on the Ipad screen. I turned on the light and found 5 bugs on the headboard! I got up and they were throughout the house! I spent an hour trying to kill all I could find. I texted David who was apologetic and sent an exterminator the next morning. 2. Noise - This old house is quite noisy. The hvac is right outside the thin walls of the master bedroom and is extremely loud when running. It makes it hard to sleep. Same with the water heater in the laundry room. 3. No Privacy - Front door is glass and has no shade. At night it shows right in to the common area where you watch tv. (there is only one tv in the house - circa 2005). Also, you share the house with another tenant - the owner now discloses this fact - it was not disclosed when we booked. With the thin walls, we heard her talking to her mother, eating, etc. We also had a joint router which was a problem. 3. Light - The master bedroom doors have glass panes that open to the common area, so there is no privacy and the doors open to a common courtyard that stays lit all night long on account of the tenant. There is no way to shut out the light when you sleep. 4. Bikes - When we booked, the ad promised 2 bikes, which we never got despite us confirming them via email prior to arrival. We ended up with 1 old Huffy kid bike (24" tire) and no other operable bikes. The UGLY.. DAVID SCREAMED AT US AT CHECKOUT! Checkout per VRBO was 11am but David mistakenly thought it was 10am. David called screaming at 10:30 as to why we were not out by 10 and that we were delaying his cleaner and being rude. He demanded an apology. I even sent him the screenshot showing 11am but he didn't care. We can only speculate, but we believe David’s anger toward us started when we denied his request to come through the house with prospective renters. We were working remotely with confidential materials through the house, and didnt feel comfortable with people coming thru the house. This appeared to anger David and he changed. That last day was very disturbing for us
