Perfect Stay

Great home, great location. My only gripe was the proximity to the airport. If you're a light sleeper, might want to skip this one.

Great place to relax

First time in Sarasota and we loved it. The location is very quiet and relaxing. Short drive to beaches and restaurants. The house was exactly as described on the website. The only thing we missed is teapot. We definitely would recommend this place!

Great place!

The house is just as it is in the listing. Very close to the airport so when you’re by the pool it can get loud, but I didn’t really hear much noise at night or super early in the morning while sleeping. The space is very comfortable. The kitchen is upstairs. There’s 3 sitting areas. Nice neighborhood, across the street from the bay, not too far from beaches. Nice stay overall!

Great find

Great location, quiet neighborhood, house could use some updating, pool area nice, pool not heated so too chilly for our time there. Not much hot water, only 4 of us showering and ran out before first two showers completed, not sure how 8 people would do. House is close to airport so lots of planes overhead but pretty quiet at night. Having a working grill was a plus, overall we had a pleasant stay!

Sarasota Bay Home

This home was our fourth rental in this area and definitely the best in all aspects. The home's location, a block from the water, provides great views of the bay, especially of the spectacular sunsets. Then there is the house's proximity to downtown Sarasota, twelve to fifteen minutes most any time of day. Recently refurbished, the kitchen was amply stocked and in great condition as were the bathrooms and furnishings. Then there was the pool, large and well-maintained. In summary, a great house in a great area.

Beautiful home safe area

Nice area and absolutely beautiful home with so many ammenities Absolutely gorgeous home. So many amenities and what we couldnt find was either sent to us or we were told where to find it. They left us things we wouldn't have thought to pack like dish soap, laundry, detergent, spices. The pictures do not do this home justice. It's amazing. We walked to the bay a d put the kayak in. They left us life vests and the pool has its own vacuum that walks around the pool and vacuums intermittently. So no need to worry about it getting dirty. Beds are very comfortable and theres a firepit in the yard and a propane o e on the balcony. There's a gas grill and a small charcoal grill. Everything you could ask for.

The highlight of this house is definitely the backyard area, with a caveat. It’s so close to the airport when a plane goes over you literally have to stop talking and resume when the plane passes. The pool area is beautiful, totally enclosed and private. Beautiful pool, sitting area in the shade , and a great ping pong table. The house has two bedrooms downstairs with another living area and bathroom. Many things don’t work, downstairs shower didn’t work, only bath worked?? Third bedroom is a converted garage. Looks ok, but odd, no closet or place to hang clothes

The house offers a lot of high end luxury. We had a very relaxing time and though our kids enjoyed their stay I recommend it to families with teens or no kids at all. I had to move lots of art pieces from reach of my toddler

Very nice, spacious home.

The home was spacious and well appointed, centrally located. We had some issues with the pool that were not addressed during our short stay. Otherwise, we very much enjoyed our time at 8 Pines!

Nice elements of the property, but not our best stay with VRBO. Pros: Street is quiet and nice for walking. Water views nice. Main bath upstairs spacious, great shower. Couches and bed upstairs comfy. Wi-Fi/TV good…very minor issues with buffering. Cons: Upon arrival the kitchen not clean. Like someone just departed before we arrived leaving the sink dirty, items in the fridge, a knife on the counter and cabinets and counters not very clean. Didn’t feel clean like a vacation rental… more like a friends very lived in home. The downstairs A/C wasn’t working. We checked in on a Sunday, it was fixed by Monday evening. The Vacasa representative helping with this was very nice and communicative. Didn’t make for a very comfortable first night, considering you can’t turn either A/C below 72. We have vacationed in Florida often and are familiar with the heat and A/C restrictions, however the upstairs was uncomfortable every night for us when sleeping. We sleep in a king, so we stayed upstairs… can’t use ceiling fans without getting stuffy, so we suffered through it. One of my biggest issues was no closet access in the main bedroom upstairs. A closet is there with a key pad, but no access. We got a corner with a small wall shelf and dirty clothes hamper, no luggage racks.. all our things piled on the floor for the entire trip, not allowing the room to feel relaxing. Finally, love bug season so pool/pool area dirty and would require cleaning daily, so we didn’t use. 6.5/10
