Perfect House & Perfect Location

This house was everything we were looking for. I originally booked it for 2 weeks but we loved it so much we stayed a third week. I booked this house for my family and my sister in law's family. Fully equipped, towels, beach chairs, a beach tent which we used it so much, utensils and etc.. The covered pool area was such a plus, it would prevent bugs from coming in and we enjoyed staying outside a lot. 12 minutes from Siesta Key beach and make sure you visit Turtle beach too. Close to all the stores you need - 5 to 10 min. The only con was the neighbor complaining of us making noise, which on the first day we did make noise past the time, we admitted it and never again we did that, we are very mindful people. But if feels like that whole town goes to sleep at 8pm and we have kids you know and were on vacation. But we were able to manage it and still had a great time. The owners were very attentive and caring and ready to answer our questions. I would stay in this house over and over again.

Roomy with a nice pool

I liked this house. Had adult family stay for part of our time here. Unfortunately we did have some issues with bugs. Owners and managers were responsive but not really able to take care of the issue. This is an older house and they haven’t done much updating.

Loved the location, we could walk to the stores and often rode the bikes to the beach. (We found back rodes that did not entail us riding on the highway.). The property was not quite as clean as we would have liked on arrival but in the owners defense he had not been able to be onsite at all because of COVID. He was very responsive to our concerns and we have booked again for next year. So all in all a great rental!

Wonderful Property

Property was well located and well equipped. The house is lovely and very spacious. Bedrooms were massive and very clean. Loved this holiday. There was a complimentary bottle of wine in the fridge for us when we arrived which was well needed. The owners were available for any questions we had and dealt with everything efficiently. Next time we go to Sarasota we will definitely go back to this villa. The McNairs Ayr - Scotland

Great home for 2-3 couples or large family

We really enjoyed our stay at Villa Colleen! This was the best equipped and supplied rental home we have experienced - kitchen appliances and utensils; bath towels; beach towels; bikes; pool toys; welcome book with instructions, beach information and suggested attractions, etc.; brochures, games, cards; everything we needed for our 3 week stay. The pool and lanai area is fantastic and although it was cool during our time in January we still spent lots of time having morning coffee by the pool, playing cards on the lanai, and fixing great meals on the outdoor grill. With the solar heated water we were even able to get in the pool a few times. And the geographic location of Villa Colleen is great - easy, short driving to Siesta Key, all the Sarasota attractions, St. Armands, Venice, Myakka River, and even Bradenton and Anna Maria! The bedroom arrangements are terrific and provide privacy and comfort for 3 couples and / or a large family with children. All in all, a great rental property in the Sarasota area that is hard to beat!

Can’t wait to return to this paradise!!!

Our family stayed in this beautiful home for Christmas week. We came in from Illinois and brought in children from Indiana and California. Everyone had their own space and absolutely loved it! Erica and Henry were so careful with letting us know all of the ins and outs of the place. So kind of them. Everything went very smoothly– getting into the house, seeing where everything is, and the location! Exceptional! I would highly recommend this vacation home to anyone wanting a beautiful spot, refreshment, and everything you would need for a beach stay! Wonderful beds, full kitchen, washer and dryer, more towels than you would ever need, lovely dining room, doors that open out to a lanai with amazing pool, I could go on and on. We absolutely had one of the best times together that we have had. We had a two-year-old and a one-year-old with us and there was plenty a room for them to run around in the house and they had a room of their own. The closets were so big we used one of them as a nursery! I cannot say enough positive about this place. We stayed on the front porch and the lanai and the living area. And on Christmas Eve whole neighborhood was lit with luminaries up and down the streets. Quiet street. Very close to beaches. The garage for us to park. So many amenities. Exceptionally clean and stocked with all you would need. Don’t miss out. This place is a gem. And the owners go above and beyond to help you feel welcome. Can’t wait to go back!

Great family vacation rental!!!

We absolutely loved our month at Villa Colleen. With the three king beds all with their own bathrooms it was perfect for my sisters and I. The home has everything anyone could need! From plenty of beachtowels to beach chairs ,umbrellas ,canopies , coolers,you name it it is there. We spent many days by the beautiful sparkling pool and with the solar heat the water was very warm ! They even left us a bucket with car wash soap and a sponge since we drove 1500 miles with three different cars ! The home is in a great neighborhood and close to many stores, restaurants shops etc. siesta keys beach is close by and is absolutely beautiful. The whitest sand you could ever see ! The owners go above and beyond to make sure you have everything you need. The water heater started to leak and the plumber was there to replace it that very day. They also have four new bikes that you can cruise the neighborhood or even take them to the legacy trail which runs 20+ miles. The backyard is lit beautifully at night and very private… Basically the backyard is screened in and you can leave all three patio doors open to enjoy the tropical Florida air ! So pack a small bag and your sunscreen because that’s basically all you will need .

Great Location and Great House

When we arrive the house was very clean and orderly. We had called and asked if there was a crock pot in the house and were told there was not; however, when we arrived there was a brand new one sitting on the kitchen counter. The house is centrally located to everything you would want to do in Sarasota. A Publix grocery store, a Target, a CVS, a Kohls, and a Subway are less than a mile from the house.The house has a solar heated pool and the temperature of the water was very comfortable and we enjoy spending time around the pool. We ate all our meals outdoors in the screened in area surrounding the pool. There are very few houses in Sarasota that have three masters with king size beds like this house. The kitchen was well stocked. The beds were very comfortable. This was our fourth year in Sarasota and this was the best house we have had. He plan to return to Sarasota next February and have rented this house for our stay.

Traumurlaub in der Villa Colleen

Liebe Familie Biendl, Schon zum dritten Mal durften wir in ihrer Villa Colleen Ferien verbringen und wir waren erneut ganz begeistert. Wir hatten uns sehr auf den Urlaub gefreut und wurden nicht enttäuscht. Unsere Terminanfrage wurde innerhalb weniger Stunden beantwortet. Da unser Wunschtermin noch frei war, mussten wir auch nicht lange überlegen. Herr Biendl buchte uns auch noch die passenden Flüge und den Mietwagen dazu, so dass wir uns um nichts mehr kümmern mussten. Bei unserer Ankunft haben wir wie immer alles so vorgefunden, wie wir es gewohnt sind. Wir fühlten uns sogleich wieder wie zu Hause. Alles, was man braucht, ist vorhanden. Badetücher, Strandliegen, Kaffeemaschine, Küchenausstattung, usw. Dementsprechend wenig Gepäck mussten wir mitnehmen. Neu war dieses Mal, dass die Teppiche im Wohnzimmer und im Schlafzimmer, die schon leichte Verschleißerscheinungen aufwiesen, durch Fliesen ersetzt wurden. Das wertet die Villa noch mehr auf. Wir haben bereits für nächstes Jahr gebucht und freuen uns schon sehr darauf.

perfekter Aufenthalt

Liebe Familie Biendl, wir haben zu Zweit 2 wunderschöne Wochen in Ihrem Haus verbracht. Alles war vom ersten bis zum letzten Tag perfekt. Schweren Herzens müssen wir übermorgen unseren Rückflug ins kalte Bayern antreten. Aber so wie Sie uns kennen, werden wir sicherlich nicht das letzte Mal hier gewesen sein. Unser Tip: Wer am Samstag Abend gerne Live-Musik in einer urigen Westernbar erleben möchte, dem empfehlen wir den "White Buffalo Saloon" in der McIntosh Rd., ca. 100 m links, wenn man die Clark Rd. auswärts fährt. Herzliche Grüße Agnes & Gerhard

Villa Colleen

Wir hatte wirklich einen wunderschönen Urlaub in eine traumhaften Ambiente! Großzügige und sehr gepflegte Zimmer, die jeweils mit einem eigenen Bad ausgestattet sind. Eine toll ausgestattete, offene Küche und einen riesigen Wohnbereich mit Fernseher und allem drum und dran. Hauptsächlich lagen wir aber den ganzen Tag an dem wunderschönen Pool oder machten ein BBQ im Außenbereich. Stühle und Liegen waren mehr als ausreichend vorhanden. Unsere Gruppe bestand aus 9 Personen und wir waren uns alle einig: Das war nicht unser letzter Urlaub in der Villa Colleen!

Ferien Villa Colleen Sarasota

Eine wunderbare Villa, viel Platz, drei Schlafzimmer mit integriertem Bad und riesigem Bett, zwei Kinderzimmer dazu, sowas findet sich selten. Der grosse Pool ist wirklich so blau und der riesengrosse Screen ist nicht einsehbar und durch die vielen Palmen und Pflanzen bietet sich eine sehr private Atmosphaere. Es ist alles mehr als ausreichend vorhanden und es ist an alles gedacht. Geschaefte und Lokale sind in unmittelbarer Naehe vorhanden und die traumhaften Straende sind auch nur 10 Autominuten entfernt. Die Besitzer und die deutschsprachige Vorort Betreuung sind sehr zuvorkommend. Wir haetten es nicht besser treffen koennen und kommen sicher wieder. Bis dann Fam. H.

Our month in a mansion !

From the moment I arrived I felt at home. A few lights were left on to welcome us as well as snacks and wine. Everything is exactly as described on website and all pictures are up to date. Big spacious home gives everyone personal space when needed. Fully stocked, even all you could need for a trip to the beach. All kinds of info, pamphlets, maps. Quiet neighborhood with friendly people, great for long, leisurely walks and even beautiful sunsets close by. Great pool, well maintained. Screened in backyard is ideal, no insects or bugs. Very central area, good driving, easy to get around. Within an hour from Tampa, Fort Myers, St Pete's. Lots to see and do. Siesta Key beach is the best I've seen so far, close by about 15mins drive. Henry was very attentive to our needs and checked in with us periodictly to make sure all was to our liking. Very courteous, generous and helpful. Both Henry and Sabine are friendly, easy going and aim to please. Would definitely recommend this home to everyone. Hopefully I can return again in the future. Thank you for making our stay comfortable and perfect. Linda and the girls Northern Ontario, Canada

The Perfect Home

We loved this home. We had six adults and two 18th month old toddlers in our group. The home is in great condition inside and out with large rooms. The pool area is a perfect place to relax with plenty of chairs. You are close to the great beaches and all types of shopping as well. Prior to our arrival, the owner went out and purchased an additional high chair and pack N play which was great surprise to us and much appreciated.

A July to Rememer!

What a great vacation home in Sarasota! My husband and I along with our daughter, son-in-law and their 3 children arrived and were thrilled with such a wonderful home to stay in during our vacation. Villa Colleen pictures on the website are just like the home. It was well furnished with everything we needed and more. The pool was a major plus and we all enjoyed it every day. The home is close to several beautiful beaches (our fav was Siesta Key) but we also visited Lido and Turtle beach. There were beach chairs, beach towels and umbrella waiting for us - they thought of everything for convenience! We were close to -- Shopping, Food, Entertainment, Fishing, Medical, etc. There were no traffic issues and the neighborhood was quiet and easy to maneuver. The home was so comfortable - we truly felt like we were "home" while we were there. We had hoped that our son & daughter-in-law could join us - there would have been plenty of room but they missed out this year. We certainly recommend this property and hope to visit again ourselves sometime. Five stars were not enough for this rating. Thanks Henry for allowing us to stay in your home! Sabine was great too and had a welcome snack for our family upon arrival. Wonderful trip!!

Einfach ein tolles Haus!

Durch die guten Informationen vorab hatten wir keinerlei Probleme das Haus zu finden. Auch wenn die Fotos eine gewisse Erwartung wecken, wir waren trotzdem noch positiv Überrascht. Für uns (8 Personen) war es einfach ideal. Jedes Schlafzimmermit eigenem Bad, großes Wohnzimmer und Esszimmer. Natürlich die Terasse und der Pool. Durch die Abdeckung und Heizung war dieser auch im Februar schön warm. Es ist einfach an alles gedacht, vom Standhandtuch über das Fahrrad bis zur Mikrowelle. Die Lage ist prima. Ruhige Nachbarschaft, Supermarkt um die Ecke, die Strände nicht weit weg. Schade, dass wir nicht mehr Zeit hatten. Kann dieses Haus nur empfehlen und wüsste nicht was man noch verbessern oder ergänzen sollte.

Why they chose this property

Sarasota and the white-sand beaches in the surrounding areas are beautiful tourist destinations. Although we own a travel agency, this has been our favourite holiday destination for more than 30 years. The area is clean and safe, like in Europe, with stunning beaches, like in the Caribbean. Experience a beautiful, 10 km beach covered with sand as white as snow in Siesta Keys— (number 1 beach in USA 2013). The property is 2 hours away from the Disney Parks and 3 hours from Miami.

What makes this property unique

Enjoy fantastic beaches, a great city with many attractions, shops, and a tropical climate in a clean and hassle-free country!
Furthermore, we offer a charming 4-5 bedroom villa with 4 bathrooms. Who can do the same for this price?
