Private Pool and Balconies - Near the Beach! 【 SEP 2024 】 in Sarasota, Florida (FL), USA (2024)

Summary: Beautiful home with a very private and well thought out area for entertaining surrounded by shrubbery and trees including a pool with waterfall, patio, deck, outdoor television and grill. We ran out of propane on the last night and the management company had one in place in less than an hour! We brought a mini-basketball hoop that the kids played with in the pool for hours. Home was very spacious and clean with large rooms. Some reviews had issues with the noise - however we sat outside on the porch for hours watching the foot and vehicle traffic along Gulf Drive as well as those visiting the adjacent Manatee Beach park. Look to the left and you're part of the action, look to the right and you see the Gulf. We rented a golf cart and had no issues taking that all around the island. Fantastic family spring break and the home was certainly part of it!

Summary: Great vacation house for our family of four. Beautifully decorated and beds comfortable. The massive master bathroom is attached to the room with 2 double beds.The proximity to the beach cannot be beat. Two minute walk to the ocean. Beach is beautiful. As every other review mentions, you are on the edge of a street that is very busy during the day. We have an 8 year old and almost 2 year old and it did not add stress to our vacation. Fountain of pool very smart addition to block some street noise. Great view of the ocean from front deck. We had a fantastic first vacation to AMI.

Summary: Awesome house, clean and close to beach

Summary: You know when you look at the listing pictures and you think sure they get the best angles and such it probably doesn’t really look like that. This place does. We were really impressed. It’s a beautiful house. We had plenty of beach towels, the kitchen had all the tools we needed to cook or bake with. It has 2 ovens if you need that! The dumb waiter was wonderful. My kids loved the pool. It does have lights at night. The walk to the beach was the best. Seriously. Pass 2 houses and you are at the access point. I could watch my 8 yr old from the front balcony walk out to meet her dad who would enjoy is coffee on the beach in the morning. Check in/out was super simple. I loved that they had a code for the door so you didn’t have to keep up with a key. It is near the main road and near the public beach access for manatee beach. Having access to the garage was a plus. There is a lot of traffic that passes but honestly it didn’t bother us. The island has 10 pm quiet time. If you planned to be on the front balcony a lot bring some noise cancelling headphones. Near the pool we never even thought about it. As last reviews mentioned the location was truly the best. The property manager was there if we needed anything. I highly recommend this place.

Summary: Pretty home with nicely equipped kitchen 1/2 block from beach and 1 block from beach restaurant. Great pool. Comfortable beds. Sunny with a nice view. Be sure to bring or buy shampoo and dishwasher/clothes washer pods if you are going to do laundry or dishes.

Summary: This property was everything we could have asked for. You have a view of the gulf from the front windows and deck and is only steps from the beach access. The pool is amazing and especially for our little one as he could hang out on the shallow end and play. Love having the TV and covered area to sit out at the pool as well and has a private feel with all the landscaping around. Dumb waiter is very helpful to haul luggage and groceries up to the main level. Plenty enough room for our family of four and had just about all the amenities you could ask for. Very close to grocery store and quick golf cart ride to many restaurants. In our view everything about this place outweighed any concern about road noise from neighboring street. All the pictures from the listing are exactly accurate as to what the home has to offer. Had a blast, can't wait to book again.

Summary: Everything you need is there. Short walk to beach, great pool. Traffic noise was the only downside, just bring your noise canceling headphones for the front porch!

Summary: There were a few maintenance and cleanliness items and the pool was cold. This kept me from giving the unit a total of 5 stars. The landscaping was beautiful and compensated for the almost constant road noise. With the beauty and sounds of the waterfall you almost didn't hear the traffic. Smart thinking there. The closeness to the beach was wonderful. The picture window facing the ocean is a nice touch. Being able to use the garage was an added bonus. Highly recommend this area of the island and the beautiful beaches if your family enjoys quality time together. Love how the island kind of forces you to slow down and relax and just enjoy the natural beauty. This rental is nice and has the potential to be a 5 out of 5 stars.

Summary: Could not have asked for a more perfect location with everything needed at our fingertips. Pool area was amazing!

Summary: The house is so beautiful and just a few feet from the beach access. The house already has pool floats & beach chairs available for use. Both bedrooms are upstairs as well as the half bath. The master has the average bathroom and the bedroom with two queens has the bathroom with the bath tub and two separate sinks. There is an extra fridge downstairs, there a dummy waiter so you don't have to carry your luggage up the stairs. The balconies attached to the bedrooms are connected and are attached to the staircase that leads to the pool. There is also a gate on the side of the house that goes straight to the back of the house. There is an outside shower to rinse off at after the pool or beach. The house comes with an alarm system on the balcony doors, back door leading to the pool, and on the front door. That was great because the house is huge and I was nervous. The house is on the corner of a main street so if you're outside at night you may hear cars passing. by, however there is a noise ordinance beginning at 10 PM every night. Because of this the waterfall at the pool will auto shut off to avoid putting off any noise. The location was great for us. It was close to all attractions we went to and also close to other cities we wanted to visit. This house was perfect for two couples. If you're thinking about it, BOOK THIS HOUSE!
