We had an amazing week staying at Sarasota Sunshine! Carolyn was truly a fantastic host. The home was stocked with absolutely everything we could have needed and more—from pool floats and beach toys/chairs, to outdoor patio seating, a fire pit, and even a hammock. Inside, we loved having a pool table, cards, and plenty of toddler toys to keep our little one entertained. The kitchen had every big and small appliance imaginable, which made cooking and relaxing so easy. One of the most underrated highlights is the location. There are so many beautiful beaches and fun attractions within a very short drive—it felt like everything Florida has to offer was right at our fingertips. Most importantly for us, this home was wonderfully family-friendly, especially with a toddler around the pool. Carolyn went above and beyond by having safety alarms on every door leading outside, which gave us so much peace of mind. That detail alone made our stay truly relaxing and enjoyable. Thank YOU!

We chose Carolyn's place as we wanted our own place close to different areas/beaches (15-30 minutes to many beaches), a private pool, a full kitchen, and plenty of space to hang out comfortably at the house. We have 2 younger children and the different amenities offered (children's play toys for house, bath, beach, children's plates, cuts, utensils in the kitchen, kids chairs and beanbags in the living area, bunk beds and sound machines for easy naps in every room, etc.) was just awesome! So many great features to talk about: cleanliness of the home, great outdoor space (pool, nice grill, fire pit, games), BEACH GEAR! (tons of chairs, umbrellas, beach toys, coolers, and a beach wagon) made every trip to the beach so much nicer and easier, kitchen has full sized fridge and freezer with enough utensils, plates, cutting boards, appliances (toaster, air fryer, coffee machine), pots/pans, large sink -it was all great. Cannot recommend this place enough and we thank Carolyn for a great stay!

Carolyn’s place was the perfect spot for our family!!! I have a 7 month old and was able to seamlessly continue our normal routine in a new location with the help of all the amenities. My five year old niece also loved the set up and play kitchen. We had a running joke this trip of “what DOESNT this house have”. She had so much beach gear available, which made our trips to the beach that much easier. The house was clean, easy to access, with a big space to spread out. The pool was clean, and we even had smores by the fire. Carolyn was easily available and open to feedback. Highly recommend, i would be more than happy to return 😊

We loved staying at Carolyn’s! This was our first trip with our 13-month-old, and everything was perfectly suited for a wonderful family stay with a toddler. The space was clean, beautiful, peaceful, and full of fun touches that made it feel so welcoming. Carolyn is an outstanding host—responsive, friendly, helpful, and she provides incredibly clear instructions that make everything easy. Truly the perfect place to stay with kids of any age!

We had a great time at Carolyn’s place. Everything was cleaned and organized exactly like the pictures. There’s everything you need if you’re planning to cook or use the grill. The pool and game room were so fun and entertaining. Would definitely recommend!

Such a beautiful slice of paradise! We drove our family of 8 from Michigan to stay and it was amazing and so accommodating not to have to pack all the extra gear. The kids loved it, we loved it and absolutely would come back again! Closest ocean beach is less than 20 minutes away. Would absolutely recommend to anyone. Thank you again for letting us stay ☀️💛
