Gulfcoast Holiday Homes Reviews

As with previous years all was well. Appreciate your quick response to make AC repair and enjoyed working with you on the rental.

Gulfcoast Holiday Homes has been phenomenal in helping with every need. Even with the 2 major hurricanes this year, they made sure every need was tended to and all properties were in good repair, or assisted in ensuring they could be repaired quickly and with their oversight. Excellent property management company!

We recently stayed at the Arlington Oasis and had an excellent experience. The property is clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen and bathrooms are modern and fully functional, while the living area is both spacious and inviting. The location is ideal—situated in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood yet close to local shops and attractions. Communication with the host was effortless; they were responsive and accommodating, making both check-in and check-out seamless. Overall, the rental exceeded our expectations, and we would …

Fantastic place. Loved it. Great location and amenities. When anything arose the owner and property manager were very responsive.

The home was perfect for my wife and me. Close to the village and a short walk to the beach. The home was in excellent condition in a very quiet cul de sac. The updates made to the home were certainly very nice. Our stay was incredible and we shall be returning next year.

The house is really nice and kid friendly, BUT !!!! we all were very disappointed that we were unable to use the promised heated pool. As it was so cold and the heater really never came on, not even when the outside temperatures at night were finally above 50. We all believed that it was never on or it isn't adequate to heat that pool. For this reason we would not rent this property again.

Our stay at the Harbour Retreat was excellent. The size and stature of the home felt grand, just as shown in the photo’s, and the place was spotless. I brought my three sons, ages 6, 10, and 12 to visit their grandparents and extended family who live in the Sarasota area. The boys stayed busy in the pool and on the dock. We invited family over for a few game nights and the spacious home welcomed everyone with a taste of luxury, comfort, and relaxation. A visit to the Harbour Retreat will not disappoint. We look forward to returning soon!

The property was neat and clean. Great location with a short drive to the beach and shops and restaurants. Kitchen well-equipped with everything you need. The pool and patio is the perfect place to spend the day if you're just looking to relax at the house. There is everything you need for a day at the beach as well (beach chairs, umbrellas, wagon, cooler, etc.) We would highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation. We will be staying again!!!

We stayed in Villa Sunrise for 12 days whilst visiting the Sarasota area from the UK in August 2025. This is an amazing holiday villa. Beautifully furnished, clean and very well equipped with everything you could possibly need. The beach chairs and umbrellas came in extremely useful. The villa and neighbourhood are quiet and very well maintained. The booking process and communication from the management company was excellent. We would recommend this villa and will be looking at booking it again next time we are in the area. Thank you for letting us stay in this beautiful villa.

We have been renting the same home for the past five years and every year we go it is exceptional. Everything you need is there for you. This home is a warm welcoming environment. It’s a Home away from home.

Great Host! The place was very clean and easy to work with. Great location easy access to multiple activities. I would highly recommend staying here. We will be back soon!

Beautiful home, nice location and accommodated our family of nine people. The mother-in-law down stairs apartment and small elevator was especially helpful with grandma, who just got out of a cast and walking boot shoe. Our family enjoyed going to the Siesta Key Beach daily and using the hot tub and pool at the house. The kayaks provided were another adventure for some of our family. The separate game room was used many evenings by the entire family. We enjoyed eating out on the deck but would recommend bug spray and citronella candles because of mosquitos. Hayley was most helpful in respondin…

This property management company does a great job with prompt and thorough communication, and the vacation property that we stayed in was well-maintained!

Everything was exceptional. The house was clean, spacious and well equipped. The communication was great. We also could use the community pool which was also a highlight.

Beautiful condo, great location, remodeled with high end furniture, comfortable, saving this property to book again.

I had a great experience renting this property. Auston et al at Gulfcoast were very proactive and responsive with communications, not that I experienced much in the way of issues with either the house or the rental process but any questions I did have were answered promptly. The house was clean and just as described, and in an ideal location (for what I was looking for) - a little removed from downtown in a quiet, safe residential location, yet still reasonably close to everything. I’d definitely rent this home again.

Austin made our vacation a seamless one. He was patient in answering all of our questions, responded back to our inquiries quickly, and was a true pleasure to interact with. This husband and wife team is first rate and helped us have an incredible stay in Sarasota. Thank you so much!

Good location for walking into downtown Sarasota. Pool and hot tub nice. Enjoyed the fire pit. Our host was helpful and available with assistance as needed.

We spent a week at the Island Breeze home in Siesta Key. It was our first ever vacation as a family of 5 (three small children ages 5, 2 and 1). The space was perfect and Stefan was a great host. He reached out to check in and make sure we had everything we needed prior to our trip. Island Breeze was a short walk to the beach and there was a wagon available as well as beach chairs, cooler, tent, sand toys and floats for the pool. We spent a majority of our time at the home - the pool was great and my kids were basically fish. We also walked to the beach almost daily. We visited the Mote Aquari…

My family and I stayed at the property called Magnolia Breeze just last week. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this beautiful home. It was decorated so nicely. Had everything you could possibly need on your vacation. Beds were so comfortable and the bedrooms were the perfect size. My grandchildren loved the pool. Had to practically drag them out of it daily. The garage was full of items to use for the beach and the pool. The patio area was so relaxing. My only suggestion to make this home absolutely perfect would be to add handicap bars to the walk in shower in the master bathroom an…

Great stay at the house on Bookelia Circle through Gulfcoast Holiday Homes! Just a bunch of retirees down for a week of golf. The house was just as advertised... clean and no issues with check in. A couple of minor issues (just like being at home), but Stefan's response was immediate which is a major reason for a very positive review. Nice property, nice experience. See you next year!

Just back from a 3 month stay in Sarasota where we rented a property managed by Gulfcoast Holiday Homes. Can’t say enough about the responsiveness and personal service provided by Stefan and his staff. The property was clean, smartly decorated and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped. The pool and patio area was really nice. The pool was serviced weekly and we had the option of having it heated. We had no major issues during our stay but when a few minor issues arose, Stefan responded immediately, often the same day, to address our concerns. We were so impressed with Stefan and this prop…

My wife and I had a wonderful stay at 1500 State St. The location was fantastic and the condo was very well kept and furnished. The service and attention we received from Stefan and Gulfcoast was truly first class. He went above and beyond, and it truly was a pleasure working with him. We highly recommend Stefan and Gulfcoast Holiday

Family and friends, 4 adults and 4 kids stayed at Villa Madeira and we had a wonderful time. The house is located in a beautiful neighborhood that also felt very safe. It looks just like the pictures, very spacious, well equipped (much more beyond the essentials), clean and tidy. It is conveniently located close to shopping and restaurants. The communication was exceptional and Stefan was always available and answered our questions immediately. The guest guide book was very detailed and had plenty of recommendations for things to do and places to visit. We requested the pool heating and it was…

We enjoyed our stay in the home. Stefan was very helpful when we had a question regarding the property.

Our family had an excellent time. The home was clean and had everything we needed. The pool was also very good. We have been here for the second time and would definitely consider going again.

Great week at a lovely home. Perfect for our needs (my husband and I, my son and his wife and their three kids, including a two-year-old and a two month old). I will definitely go back to the spacious home with pool attached and a protective gate around the pool for two-year-old.
