Vaca shortened by Helene

We enjoyed 2 of 5 days in the Sarasota area before leaving early due to Helene warnings. When we called our Evolve contact, we got no answer and left a voicemail. We were concerned that the owner should know that the house would be vacant. After a 5 hr trip back to Orlando due to hurricane traffic, we still had no contact. The next day, I found an email address to the company. They did respond but we never heard from the listed agent contact. They implied that we should have just stayed in a hurricane prone area. We were impressed by the property we rented and would have returned at a later date or recommended it, but we will never deal with Evolve agan..We are checking our 2 other scheduled Vrbo rentals to be sure that we are dealing with owners who will respond.

Comfortable and quiet

My family members and I stayed in Sarasota to see a dying family member. As uncomfortable as the situation was, the house we stayed in was lovely. We enjoyed coffee on the screened in porch in the mornings and had lovely dinners together. The neighborhood is clean and quiet. It is just minutes from the beach.

Great stay in Sarasota!

Refurbished, impeccably clean little house that was plenty large enough for two friends staying for a long weekend. Especially appreciated the bedroom blackout curtain and shades and how comfortable the beds were. Loved the screen porch. The house has generous amounts of everything you need to be comfortable. A 15 - 20 minute drive to most beaches and downtown Sarasota, but that was okay with us. We had a little trouble communicating initially via Vrbo with the property management co (evolve), but that eventually got worked out to our satisfaction. I'd definitely stay here again.

Perfect Place

The home was clean, cozy and cozy, with a lovely private yard and screened in porch. Everything exceeded expectations, from the well stocked kitchen to the laundry room and bath. The location was central to both Nathan Benderson Park and the many attractions of Sarasota. We were delighted with our time here.

For beach lovers and cyclists

Me and my husband stayed for 1 week in November over Halloween. The house is spotless, very nice and clean. It is very well equipped and offers everything you need. The screened lanai in the back is perfect for both breakfast, afternoon relaxing and dinner. We visited Longboat Key beach and Siesta Key beach; both are about 25 minutes’ drive away. Siesta Key beach is very big and there are lots of parking’s, Longboat is smaller, but still very nice and not so crowded. There is also a very nice and long bike trail in Sarasota called The Legacy trail. It starts just about 10 minutes away on bike from the house. I really recommend it! The only thing that was a bit negative is the location because the house is very close to Fruitville Road which is very busy. But that does not affect my view of how nice and well cared for the house is. We had a wonderful stay.

Comfy House

Everything we could have wanted was provided by the hosts. We didn’t have to worry about the little things you need when you first get there for the bathroom or kitchen. Bed was very comfortable. Nice TV and comfortable couches. The neighborhood is older relative to this home. The location made it easy to get to both downtown Sarasota and I-75 when we took trips to Tampa, Naples, Sanibel.

We loved this place. It is neat as a pin, as they have updated everything in the house and yard. We rode the bikes to the nearby Bobby Jones trail, saw birds and gators, and drove to the beach and downtown Sarasota. There is a flea market just a couple blocks away, which we enjoyed. It is pretty small inside, but lovely. We extended one day to our stay with no problem.

Beautiful Little House

The house was amazing. Despite being small, it had everything we could have needed. The style and decorations were very well done. We especially liked the unique light fixtures that matched throughout the property. It was a little chilly during our stay, so we didn't get to enjoy the outdoor patio as much as we wanted, but it was certainly inviting. Also, the place was very clean. All in all, I would highly recommend this house to any small family.
