Angela and Andy were wonderful hosts at their exquisite home in a beautiful neighborhood! Very private and quiet room… a comfortable bed… and a delicious Continental breakfast every morning. I really enjoyed the 3.8 mile running trail (a.k.a. loop road) through the finely manicured neighborhood! A runner's dream! Thanks for everything! I’ll certainly be back when I am in the area!

My first ABB experience was a grand slam by hosts Angela and Andy. Their property is exquisite and immaculately kept. Fresh linens and towels in the on suite full (and large) bathroom made the stay comfortable. The neighbor hood is quiet and the hosts are respectful of your privacy, you will enjoy a very restful nights sleep as guests at Angela's. If in the area again I will definitely repeat.

This was THE BEST place I've stayed at!! Angela and her husband are wonderful people and their place is ideal for the business. I hope to stay in touch and have them come see my home, as well. The pool is heated by solar panels and screened in, so no worries about bugs or leaves in the water. The room has it's own bathroom and entry to the pool area. It was amazingly clean and welcoming. I love this place!

Angela and her husband were great hosts. They made sure my husband and I had everything we could need, from orange juice and coffee to a nice hot shower. The location was just perfect for us, attended a wedding at the country club, and the house was very clean. I highly recommend this place.

We had a lovely time staying with Angela and Andy for three nights. Couldn't imagine a more perfect setup. Our private room and attached bathroom were super-comfortable. Everything about the room was top- notch, and they made us feel so welcome. We thoroughly enjoyed spending a bit of time getting to know them. Angela made sure we had a nice breakfast every morning, which was unexpected. If you are new to the area, they also have great recommendations on where to go. This was our 2nd airbnb and the only bad thing is that we are now spoiled. Thank you for you for making our mini vacation so pleasant!

Angela and her husband are friendly and helpful hosts.

Angela and her husband, Andy, are delightful and thoughtful hosts. They graciously welcomed us and we enjoyed good wine and conversation. The home is beautiful - beyond expectation! Our room and adjoining bath were exceptionally clean and spacious. We highly recommend Angela to all prospective travelers to Central Florida, and we look forward to a return stay. There is absolutely nothing Angela could do to improve; her hosting and accommodation is perfection. Well Done!

Angela met us at the door. She is a "people person" and instantly made us feel at home. She introduced us to her husband Andy and we sat in their living room and chatted about life in general for several minutes. The listing does not begin to describe how beautiful their home is or how well suited it is to host guests. The living area divides the master bedroom and the other two giving privacy to both host and guest . The bedroom we were given also had a bathroom with a large walk-in shower. We were invited to use the living room, kitchen, lanai (with pool). We were treated to tea and coffee in the morning as well as bagels, toast and fruit. They were also quite helpful in helping us find points of interest and eateries in the area, and were interested in our observations as well. Overall they are wonderful hosts who live in a gorgeous home in a safe upscale community.

Although we were only able to make a brief visit, we had a wonderful stay at Alan’s home. The location was perfect for us. His home is in a safe quiet community with nearby amenities. After traveling all day the beds were so very comfortable. The master suite is elegant. The kitchen was perfect. The beautiful leather couches were like sitting on clouds. We also enjoyed watching TV, as we were so exhausted from our travel and family event. We enjoyed walking through Alan’s peaceful and lovely neighborhood. It includes a community center complete with a large pool and playground for children. We were delighted to discover walking trails and the nearby park of Fort Hamer. I hope to return to Alan’s home someday, it was clean, comfortable and perfect!

Great house in a quiet neighborhood. Exactly what we were looking for our Florida holiday. Alan took excellent care of us and we were able to use the house as it was in the description. The view of the lake was very nice. We would come back, but Florida and Germany are unfortunately not next to each other :-)

We had a perfect stay at Alan's beautiful house. It's big, modern, and nicely furnished, and there was more than enough room for us. And we loved the pool so much! At one point during our weeklong stay we thought the pool's pump might be broken (it wasn't) and the owners responded and came over immediately. Highly recommend and we hope to stay there again the next time we're visiting our family in Parrish!

Clean, beautiful home. Check in was a breeze. Look forward to staying again!

The house was exactly as described. The property was easy to find and was secure! Our 4 guests had plenty of room. The house was clean and we'll kept. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to come again soon!

There is nothing I can say bad about our experience. The house was very comfortable, clean and within driving distance to most things we wanted to do, but far enough out that there was not a lot of noise. This was perfect for me as I worked while we were there and it was a very peaceful setting. I would highly recommend Alan's house to anyone and if the opportunity arises would use it again. Angie and Dorge H.

Alan was fantastic to deal with. The house was beautiful and clean. Great, quiet neighborhood. Everything was perfect. Overall, a great experience.

What an amazing host and place to stay. This beautiful and spacious home blew away our expectations. We had 3 travelers. My father, brother and I. We each had our own bedroom and space to ourself. There is a great common room with cable tv to relax and enjoy yourself. A spacious kitchen if you need to make any meals. The house was very clean and much much larger and nicer than we ever expected. The house itself was in a quiet neighborhood. We used it as a base camp for Oriole's spring training. Tampa, Sarasota, and Bradenton are all within one hour. We also had great communication with our host. Check in was a breeze. We cannot say enough about how wonderful our stay was. Given the option, we would stay here again in a heart beat. Thank you!!

I stayed at this Airbnb for nearly 5 weeks while transitioning jobs. Ron and Athena were wonderful hosts and very welcoming. They were friendly and always available via text, or in person to address any concerns. They provided designated space within the cabinets and refrigerator/freezer and the entire kitchen was set up for cooking if the guest desires. Several times Ron and Athena invited me to share meals with them. A notebook with brochures and descriptions of area attractions was provided. The guest area was spacious and very clean, and privacy screens provided a nice division between the two areas of the house. The space is very accurately depicted in the Airbnb photos. I would definitely stay at this Airbnb again

My entire review could be solely about how fabulous these hosts are. If they had owned a shack I would have been happy to stay just to have met them. But quite the contrary, this is a showcase home in every sense of the word that matches the kindness and hospitality of the hosts. This listing was so perfect for me. I needed a quiet place to get away from the cold of winter and focus on a project while basking in the warmth of the Sunshine State of Florida. Upon entering the home, I was pleasantly surprised at the size of the private space, just for me. The living/dining and foyer areas are twice as large as the photos seemed. There are flat screen TVs in both the livingroom AND the bedroom. I also created my own designated space that was decorated so tastefully to inspire my daily morning yoga practice. There is a soothing color scheme and furniture throughout the entire space that looks brand new, from the large glass top dining set to the lovely color coordinated couches, drapes & area carpet, to the substantial wooden bedroom set. Every night I went to sleep feeling like a queen. The bathroom is well appointed and also looks newly renovated. Every inch of this space is immaculate. The shared kitchen is huge and fully stocked with quality dishes, cookware, utensils, a chef's dream. There's lots of countertop space with an island, stainless steel appliances, ample cabinet & refrigerator space designated just for guests. Mornings started off right with a clean, organized kitchen coffee service cart set up with a Kurig and a teapot. I honestly cannot think of anything that they have not covered to make my stay more comfortable. There are several other bonus features to the house that I won't mention. I guess I was a "good guest" lol, so they made these spaces available to me. I recommend this listing 100% for both business travelers and vacationers looking for a location that is residential AND central to everything.

The bnb is spacious and beautiful! Linda and John go out of their way to make you feel at home. Besides for just hitting a beautiful space, the left everything we possibly could have needed or forgotten for our stay. I can't recommend their space enough! One of our best BnB experiences ever.

Wonderful pre check in messages were thoughtful! Thank you. Thankful for the cold waters in fridge. Very well thought out to have an extension cord by the nightstand.

I would highly recommend this BNB for anyone who wants to be treated like royalty. This is a great home and a great host who has thought about all of the details to make you feel at home and comfortable. The host has taken every extra step to make you feel welcome in their home

Our stay was nothing short of perfect. Jon and Linda are such thoughtful hosts, and the house is so charming, comfortable, and beautiful. By the time we checked out, My husband and I were only wishing we had booked a longer stay! We can't wait to come back, and definitely give The Fabulous Casa Murillo guesthouse 5 out of 5 stars!

Linda and John were wonderful as hostess and host. They did not bother us but when we had a question they were readily available. The home was immaculate with luxurious bedding and towels. Fabulous shower, great TV and comfortable furniture. We enjoyed long walks in the neighborhood and unfortunately did not have time to use the kayaks and bicycles which were available. We were greeted with a bottle of wine and a basket of wonderful snacks to tide us over until we had time to grocery shop. The kitchen was well-equipped so cooking was easy. We are already looking forward to our stay with Linda and john next year.

Beautiful home, wonderful hosts, and quiet area: what more could you ask for?! The home is amazing and very family friendly. The small kitchen came in handy and the wifi was helpful, too.

Great stay, very comfortable with thoughtful touches. Jon and Linda were very accommodating. Quiet and peaceful.

Linda welcomed us and even offered to give us the extra room even though we misunderstood the booking. She had lots of goody baskets and the main apartment was very nice.

Cheryl is a great host, easy to talk with and very hospitable. The room and bed are comfortable. Her big dog Thor is friendly and fun to play with. The location is distant (45 min) from Sarasota and Tampa, and I liked being away from the congested areas. Cheryl's breakfasts were wonderful!!!

The hostess has a lovely home in a great area. She also has very nice roommates. This booking did not work out for us, however, we wish her the best in her future endeavors.

Back for a second visit. This was as good an experience as the first one. Cheryl is a good host and the room is quiet and comfortable. This time we did explore a few restaurants nearby, which was rewarding.

Cheryl was a very accommodating host, who went out of her way to respond to my particular needs, such as my wife's very late arrival time and the temporary storage of my boat. She also provided wonderful breakfasts. The house is in a very quiet location, although shops and restaurants are not that far away. My room was attractive, with a very comfortable bed and its own bathroom. I highly recommend this site and would certainly return to it.

Cheryl ' s hospitality is one of a kind. We enjoyed our stay and her company. Getting to know her dog Thor was great. Her cooking breakfast for us was a real treat as well. Thanks Cheryl. We will definitely stay with her anytime we have a chance to come back to Florida.

This the perfect place for a secluded natural back country Florida getaway. Really perfect that back country lover.

Don was an awesome host! Five stars all the way and can't wait to stay there again!

Donald's place is AMAZING and he is also a great host. It's just as advertised. Don't even think about it just book it!

Amazing house. It has everything you need and would want. Worth every penny.

Fantastic home and host. Our family talked about all the good things on the drive back to the airport - great pool and lounging space, hot tub, hammocks, plenty of bedrooms, TVs, separate game room with ping pong and old school arcade game, loads of games, kayaks, movie theatre with hundreds of DVDs to watch on big recliners, Don's communication, the quiet back waters, and proximity to things to do. We really enjoyed our stay and would come back. We didn't get to go to DeSoto for a car race or to the local brewery but will on the next stay. This is a more expensive rental but it's worth it. If you have a family or a lot of friends and want a place with plenty of space, and all the amenities, this is the place. If you're really good, Don will show you the Scooby Doo Mystery Machine!

This is a beautiful and fun house. We used it for a team building event with 8 coworkers and we had an amazing time. Very clean, comfortable and super entertaining. I would highly recommend this house to any trying to have a nice get away with a large group. Don the owner / host was amazing, kind and really helped us understand everything within the property. 5 stars!!!

You will not regret getting this house. It's amazing

Tosh is a great guy and was very friendly and helpful

Tash is a perfect host! We had a wonderful time at his place. It was a great American suburban experience!!

Tash is a great host. The home is massive, the room is clean, and so is the bathroom. Pretty close to everything you could want to do in the Sarasota and Bradenton area

Tash is a wonderful young man and has a beautiful home!

Tash is the most easy-going and friendly host I have stayed with during my travels on airbnb. He is an NYU graduate, fun, friendly, hospitable and is always certain you have all your needs taken care of. I unconditionally recommend staying at Tash's airbnb. Safe travels!

Nice house, fast internet, and Tash was very accommodating.

Very beautiful home, clean room and private bathroom. Neighborhood is safe and gorgeous!

Tash was a very gracious host. The room was very clean and accommodating. We would definitely stay again!

Cheryl was terrific and the home is immaculate. Much nicer than the photos.

We were pleased to find an Airbnb rental in the Colony Cove area. The place was clean, and the many amenities made it very comfortable. This rental is quite roomy, and the location was perfect for visiting our relatives in the area. Cheryl was quick to respond to our messages during our stay. We are hoping to return to this rental in the future.

The best host ever. Very welcomed!!! The house is fully furnished and well equipped. Anything you need, can be found in the area

The host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Nice, pretty new and convenient house in a residential area in Ellenton, close to Sarasota and St. Petersburg. Well located, functional, three bedrooms and a nice garden with BBQ. OK for price value / quality. Hosts, super friendly and careful with guests.

Jisse greeted and gave us a tour of the house when we arrived. We were only in the house to sleep, so it met our needs well. It should be noted that while Jisse was very nice and the house was as described, there are several dogs in the area that bark a lot at night. I was woken up several times between 1-4 AM when numerous dogs would start barking at each other. Other than that, I have no complaints.

On arrival the landlady explained everything quickly. But we could not handle the TV. Next, the dishwasher did not appear to be connected, but these cases were resolved in the next few days. We have also had a nice stay in home Jisse.

Lovely, spacious, comfortable house. Superb master bedroom. Loved the pool. Good base to visit Sarasota, St. Petes, Clearwater as well as Bradenton and local beaches. Also many State Parks are accessible.

Awesome house! Stayed at Ruth's place with my kickball team for a tournament weekend and this house was just perfect! It had all of the necessary amenities & was very clean. Checking-in & out were very easy and access to the house was a breeze! The garage was also a huge plus to fit all of our cars. Ruth was very quick at responding to messages and very helpful. There was also a Publix very close by for all of our groceries and the house is very close to the highway for easy access. Thank you again Ruth! Would definitely book again :)

Jim, The house was excellent. Everything we needed was there and easy to find. Thanks a lot for the opportunity. The games were great, assessors were great, and I had an all around good time. Chris House was amazing! She made it soo easy for us to stay their with no trouble. She even let us stay past check out so we could shower. Very clean, she provided towels and soap etc. Robert

We were originally supposed to stay at our timeshare in Ormond Beach which had been booked since January but due to major damage from Hurricane Matthew we had to change our plans 10 days before our planned departure. Since we are 8 people we needed a large place to stay and Ruth's house met all of our needs and then some. The house is well situated, close to shopping and restaurants. About a 30 minute drive to many different beaches. Amenities included with the rental include a community swimming pool and tennis courts (a 5 minute walk). The neighbourhood is lovely to go for a walk. Sitting in the backyard by the pond is a bird watchers paradise and very relaxing. Any questions that we had Ruth was very quick to answer and recommended local restaurants and stores. This was our first family vacation in about 15 years and it turned out wonderful!

Ruth was a fabulous host- she had all sorts of amenities at the house and truly made us feel as if we were at our house. She was very quick to respond to our texts and was extremely nice- we would definitely rent from her again and we truly appreciate all of her hospitality.

Ruth is a wonderful host.The house is very clean and well maintained.I would recommend this place.

Ruth was communicative and accommodating which provided peace-of-mind. The house was very clean and spacious, and the directions and guidebook were clear and helpful. I definitely recommend it!

Ruth is a great host. She made my family and I feel at ease. Her home was nothing short of exceptional. I would definitely recommend Ruth's home to aynone contemplating on vacaying in the area.

Very quiet and comfortable home. Like staying in a 5 star hotel.

Due to a last minute problem with the plumbing, we were not able to stay at the 'Gorgeous House'. However, Jessica arranged for us to stay at another of her homes in the same neighborhood instead. We were visiting relatives in the area and were not at the house much nor did we use the kitchen for cooking other than fixing eggs for breakfast. The neighborhood is nice and felt safe. The outlet mall is very close by. Due to a later than expected arrival, Jessica was not able to greet us but she arranged for her sister to greet us instead. A request for a hairdryer and some coffee filters was fulfilled quickly by Jessica's sister.

Our host Jessica made us very welcome and was keen to ensure we enjoyed our stay. There had been a change of location which worried us at first but it all worked out very well and suited our purpose. The property was quite near to shops , beaches ,restaurants etc. A car is essential

I struggled with what to say because the host was friendly and personable. As other reviews stated, the house reserved was not the house we stayed in due to a "problem" with the other house. The linens showed signs of age and the sheets were tattered. Unfortunately, the beds were not comfortable. There is a lack of closet or storage space so plan accordingly. The living area was comfortable and spacious although we had a hard time with the television programming because we are not second language equipped. In Jessica's defense, she did say to call if we had any problems and we did not inform her.

I absolutely loved this house and the owner was above and beyond welcoming and will come back definitely.

Very nice people to let us stay in their home! I will say the only problem we had was with the ants :( other than that it was great!

Jessica was very friendly and accommodating.

Check in was easy. Cozy, clean, and equipped.

A beautiful house in a quiet neighborhood with plenty of space! Ideal to relax and unwind !!!

Clean, friendly host, awesome dog named Thor.

Cheryl's home was roomy and very clean. The neighborhood was very nice however do expect the wild animal sounds in the distance. I had a lovely room with my own bathroom. Cheryl was a most gracious hostess. She makes you feel very welcome and she can help you with where to go in Sarasota and fun things to do. Her dog Thor though seems big a first was a real sweet heart. I stayed with Cheryl while working as a travel nurse for three months. Thanks you Cheryl for your hospitality and conversations.
