Thank you for sharing your home with us! Wilburn’s place was super relaxing and peaceful. The landscaping is beautiful and we felt right at home. So close to the beach and anything you would possibly want. Definitely check out Walt’s Restaurant for some awesome seafood! Thank you to Larry as well!

Although the pictures do a good job of showing how nice the house and backyard are, we were still surprised by the overall size of the rooms. Tons of great space, immaculately clean, and a haven of a back pool and garden area - which we adored. Great value, great place to unwind and take in the sun. Nearby Walt's Fish House was also a favorite for casual, delicious seafood.

This mid-century modern gem is exactly as it appears in the photos. The house has a very nice layout, period furnishings, colorful art & decor along with a secluded garden and lap pool. It is located in a residential neighborhood close to a commercial area, beaches and downtown Sarasota. Highlights included the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, Saturday morning's Farmer's Market and tennis at the well maintained courts at the Payne Park Tennis Center. Communication with Wilbur and his manager Larry was easy and both were very responsive...we would definitely recommend this home!

The location was wonderful. The house was gorgeous and it was just a wonderful place to stay. I can tell you if we come back to Sarasota we plan on seeing if we can stay there again because it was just that wonderful.
