Gorgeous Private Home In Sarasota with Heated Pool

We recently stayed at the Gorgeous Private Home In Sarasota With Heated Pool. As the title suggests, the home is beautiful. The house was very clean and tastefully decorated. The backyard was beautiful. The heated pool and hot tub were a welcome relief after a day at the beach, going to an O's game or sightseeing in Sarasota. The location of the home was perfect. It was a 15-20 minute drive to Siesta Key Beach. A ten minute drive to Ed Smith stadium and downtown Sarasota. There were a few items that were not addressed before or during our visit. One of the ceiling fans was not operating. We were told it would be fixed, but no one showed up for the two weeks we were there. We were told to purchase a fan and e could be reimbursed for the cost of the fan. That is what we did. The hot tub cover was broken. The insulation on the bottom side of the cover got into the hot tub. We had to constantly clean the hot tub with a skimmer before we used it. We were told a new cover would be delivered during our stay. That never happened. This was a working vacation for some of us. The internet speed was slow. The channel line up was very limited on the tv. Most of these concerns are easy to fix. I would recommend this house to anyone visiting Sarasota and I would stay there again.

DO NOT BOOK BEFORE READING THIS! Positive: The ONLY nice thing about this property is the pool. But DO NOT plan on it being heated on cool nights. It's NOT as the owner/host refuses to accommodate his guests' needs. Negative: PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING!!! This house looked fantastic listed with all amenities, including a heated pool and hot tub for guest use at all times. I was skeptical about it being a non-refundable property. But, I did my research, and I was confident in my choice. Two days before arrival comes "THE BOOK" of rules. The owner states he would have total control over the thermostat at all times. If you wished to use the hottub, the host needed 24 hours' notice. There would be a pool person and landscaping coming by, but would not disrupt our stay. Along with about 20 more rules. We arrived late, and our code would not work. It took nearly 45 minutes to get inside. Once in, the house was 82°. We started turning on all fans. My sons fan did not work. I immediately notified the host. NO RESPONSE. I found I had a mini fan in the main closet and put it in his room for some air, and put an order in for delivery from Walmart for more fans immediately. I let the owner know the temp in the home, and it needed to be turned down asap!!The next day we requested to use the hottub to which I was met with, "well, that's an odd request as most people don't use it this time of year in florida, but OK". We were told we needed a key. It was locked in a safe. So my husband called the host for direction.My husband was given the wrong code by the host, at which time the owner started speaking to my husband in a very condescending manner. Once open, there was a second safe. For what? I have no idea!! Finally inside, while using the hottub, my husband upped the temp. It was to go in 10 degree increments, and his BIG fingers hit it one too many times and tripped it out as it was upped 11 degrees rather than 10. We had to wait until morning for a reset. Which we understood and accepted as it was an honest mistake on our part. Tech came the next morning and said he reset the hottub. We checked 2 hours later. It was still tripped. I messaged the owner.

Kristian and Natalie are great hosts! They are very communicative, friendly and attentive. They respond quickly with any needs and give all information you would need for your stay up front. Their home is absolutely beautiful, good location, clean and has everything you need. The pool and hot tub are an added bonus and always clean and beautiful as well. We enjoyed our stay very much and will definitely return! Thank you!

This house is amazing. Very clean and had everything we needed. The neighborhood is quiet and Arlington Park is perfect for walks. The location is perfect. Close to downtown, Lido Key, St Armand's, Morton's Market and Siesta Key.

The house was great! It was clean, well stocked with kitchen items, large table for dining with friends, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms. The outside space was the best, between the pool, deck area with table, chairs and lounge chairs, and the hot tub. We felt safe walking the neighborhood at night. Nearby Arlington Park is very nice. The host, Kristian, was very accommodating and helpful! The house is in a residential area, so you have to drive to downtown, beaches, etc. We would recommend this property.
