Great stay

This house was perfect for our family, with lots of rooms but open space too. It was bright, clean and felt warm and welcoming. I especially loved the master bath and the kids loved the pool. The house was well stocked and close to grocery stores and restaurants too.

Just as expected

The property was very nice and well accommodating for my family. We enjoyed our time. My kids wished the pool was a bit bigger but it was not because of false advertising, it was simply because I chose a house with a smaller pool haha

Bradenton 2024

The place was clean and stocked well with kitchen supplies. It was in a quiet neighborhood but close to the beaches and restaurants. When we had issues with the place, Joe was always quick to respond and resolve the issues. We will definitely come back when we come back to the area.

Really nice Villa, great location.

Great villa, fully equipped with everything you may need and clean. Great outdoor area with a nice pool which tops it off. Not far from Sarasota and some lovely beaches. Nit picking however, there are two large trees out back that do restrict Sun light at certain times of the day. Overall very enjoyable stay, would recommend.

Stay at Sabal Harbour during US Masters Nationals Rowing Championship

The property is within easy commuting distance to Nathan Benderson Park. The layout of the property was excellent. The Dophin pool was excellent, well-cared for and very much appreciated after rowing and competing. I would certainly stay here again in the future.

The home was very nice and well kept. It was exactly as described when we reserved it

The property was clean and nice. It was exactly as described and suited our family well. We had a little trouble reaching a member of the management company but was able to reach the owner through your VRBO app to resolve the situation by the next day.

Perfection

This house was perfect for our family of 5. The neighborhood was quiet and family friendly with access to the playground and community pool. The house pool was clean and gated, which was nice with 3 little kids. The kitchen had all the tools we needed to cook. We will definitely be using this house on future trips!

Winter Stay

My husband and I stayed in this home January, February, and March of 2023. We really like the location of the Sabal Harbour neighborhood. The owner was easy to work with, communicates well, and was willing to repair or purchase appliances that was needed. Even though this home is a little older, we found that it was sufficient and met our needs. There were plenty of towels and sheets for us to use. We had children and grandchildren visit us for a week and they enjoyed the swimming pool, at he house and the community basketball court. The pool water is cool in January and most of February because of the solar heat. Normally you could use the community pool during this cooler time but it was under repairs and being updated while we were there. In March the pool water temperature was between 80 to 90 degrees and very enjoyable. Because it is older, there are repairs and updating that need to be done but the rental price is reasonable. My husband and I would not hesitate to rent again.

unsatisfactory experience

overall representation of villa - it was obvious from first walking in to the property that the photographs used on the VRBO web site are well out of date and in some instances very misleading:- • there is a photo of the lanai with a bbq - in reality is there is no bbq available • the photo of the pool area shows a sunlit area with a small hedge in the background - in reality the whole area is now completely overshadowed by two fully grown oak trees, meaning little sunlight in that area and all the associated detritus from the tree making the lanai and frame permanently dirty. • the furniture in the lanai is rusty and dirty and does not look like it has been replaced since the original photos were taken • the upholstery in the living room is 'tired' with one of the sofas needing additional makeshift support under the seat cushion issues we raised with property management • general cleanliness - about a dozen dead caterpillars on the floor throughout the villa • en-suite toilet flange leaking • laundry found in the tumble dryer • pool light not working and pool floor unclean • front right element of cooker not working • oven light not working • hairs on cooker and in fridge • insufficient bedding for a two week stay • the sheets available on the bed my wife used (the Queen bed) were threadbare • the landline telephone only held charge for 2 minutes The issues outlined above were bad enough and we feel that the VRBO listing gives a false favourable impression. However, the experience during the hurricane was extremely worrying and not acceptable. We have vacationed many times in villas along the gulf coast and this was the first one we had stayed at that had no first aid kit, not a single torch, nor a folder with essential emergency information. On top of this we had no support or advice from property management in the lead up to, or during the hurricane. This despite me emailing them, ringing them numerous times and leaving voice mail. It was left to my wife and I to best secure your villa, including moving the heavy lanai furniture into the property. However, with no boarding on the windows we felt highly insecure. Three days post the hurricane strike, property management surfaced to deal with a broken garage door spring we notified them about, and the electronic door lock not working. The pool was also unusable for the week after the hurricane and we had seen no pool maintenance people since arriving up to the day we departed.
