Believe the hype. This place is as advertised. The rooms were great, the layout was spectacular, and the amenities were off the hook. Throw in a host that bent over backwards to make sure that we had a blast, and the stay could not have gone any better. The “boys” (60-year old men down for golf and spring training baseball) loved the place so much that we forwent our typical restaurant plan and grilled out 3 of the 5 nights we were down, so we could swim, and play lots of golf, bocce, and billiards - and hangout at the fire pit. This sums it up: Next time we go back to Sarasota, we’re staying at Trippe’s place again. Isn’t that the best thing you can say about a rental?
