Owner profile
About the owner
Hi, my name is Carrie and I rent out our holiday home in sunny Sarasota. My husband Neil and I love Sarasota and everything about it. We have two children who adore nothing more than jumping in our lovely pool on a hot sunny Floridian day. We are fair and honest people who like to treat our guests as we would like to be treated ourselves. We have been renters in many houses in Sarasota before we decided to buy our own home. We picked up on the things we liked and we didn't like about other rentals, and hope to bring the best to our rental home.
Year purchased: 2004
Why the owner chose a home in this location
We bought our house in Sarasota in 2004. We viewed many properties before falling in love with our home. We chose this house because it is in a very quiet and secluded no through road. It is spacious, light and airy. It's very well maintained and all the houses are well looked after. It is a short drive to the beach, restaurants, shops and airport. Although the house is close to major roads, it is very quiet and peaceful. Best of both worlds! We didn't buy the house to 'max out' the rentals. We bought it as a second family home to enjoy as much as we can. We decided to rent it out to like minded families when we were not able to be there ourselves. We have had so many positive comments from every guest who has stayed in our home. We love it and are sure you will too.
Unique benefits of the property
The area our house is in is considered more of an upmarket area of Sarasota. It is not on a large estate like many other of the rental homes and has an feeling of individuality about it. All the residents of the road are very proud of their homes and the community we live in. We are extremely proud to live in this delightful road. The house is situated within close distance to everything a holidaymaker would need. A short drive will get you to the beaches, supermarkets and fabulous restaurants close by. But the house is set back and away from all the hustle and bustle. If you are looking for privacy, peaceful pool area, very comfortable home and a close proximity to everything that is happening in Sarasota then our house will meet your needs.
