Anniversary get away
We usually visit Destin, this summer we skipped planning my sons wedding in October. After the tragic and very unexpected death of our son 55 days before his wedding, we chose to come further south feom Texas to heal, celebrate 26 years of marriage and relax. The house was what we needed, plus for a family ready to prepare meals. We hope to bring our adult kids and daughter in love this direction for a change of scenery. We will not have a problem coming back to stay at this location. We accessed all beaches.

Very clean, the property is as described, a few minutes from the beach. Close to restaurants and places to shop, figure on time when busy season traffic was back to back. I’d recommend this place.

Wonderful location
Small but so perfect! Our family had a wonderful time relaxing after a long day at the beach and around siesta keys. Only complaint we had was we couldn't make the place as ice cube as home 😂. But I swear inside we are penguins. Loved our stay and the owners were wonderful! Thank you again for letting us check in early. We had a rough drive in. Got a flat 10 min from our breakfast spot.

Great location
This was a great location, close to everything we wanted. We were lucky enough to be able to extend for a few days due to a weather delay up north. They were responsive to a minor issue we had and were fantastic. The ability to do laundry (they even had laundry soap) was so great! Be aware this is a duplex, so we did try to be aware of neighbors to ensure we didn't disturb them. Highly recommend.

Great proximity to Siesta Key area
We had a great check in and check out process and the owner was very responsive to all communication with any issues we had. The property was very convenient to the Siesta Key/Lido Key/etc areas, which is what we were there for. The convenience of having the beach chairs and towels available was a big plus. My only complaints would be related to cleanliness. There were several dirty glasses that appeared to have been used and put back into the cabinet without washing, the shower curtain liner and bathroom rugs were very dirty and looked like they needed to be replaced, our feet and socks were dirty after walking on the hard floors, and the unit smelled strongly the whole time we were there, perhaps from an animal of some kind that was there previously. The cleanliness issues were very bothersome to me, but the convenience of the location, the quiet neighborhood, and the responsiveness of the owner made the stay enjoyable despite the issues mentioned.

Stay at Liberty Ave
As advertised, the location is in a central location, about 15 minutes drive to Siesta Key, and within walking distance to grocery, Walgreens, a few restaurants, etc. We were there to visit family who live less than a mile from this property, so for our purposes was ideal.

Wonderful experience
This was our first experience using VRBO. We stayed just shy of 3 weeks on a house hunting trip which was successful. The listing/property was as described. The Host was very kind and extremely responsive. The property is very, VERY convenient to all things Sarasota! A very comfortable and pleasant place to stay for sure. Neighbors were friendly too. Certainly glad for our choice in this property and thankful for the kindness of the Host.

Great house!
We stayed at Marks and will probably do so again in the future! The house was VERY clean and smelled incredibly clean too. My mom stopped in for the day and commented she couldn’t believe how a few days after we arrived it still smelled so clean. Mark is very fast with responding and the house had everything we needed and more for a weeks stay!

The property was efficient, clean, and easy access to Siesta Key, Downtown Sarasota and the other southern beaches. I worked while here and the internet access was excellent. Great property for a very relaxing and working. I was able to walk to publix as well as trader joes which made grocery or food shopping easier. I recommend this property very highly. Great choice. Thank you Mark. You were GREAT to work with.
