We have stayed here before and had a mostly positive experience. However, thanksgiving week 2025…read morewas about as bad as it gets. I've been patiently waiting for the property manager and/or rental manager to return my calls or emails. I guess they really don't care. So I was compelled to write this review. We understood that there would be some clean up work being done from the hurricane one year prior. Our experience began when we were called about a week before our trip saying villa A9 was no longer available. We were given the option of A1 or A5, but A1 was recommended by the staff. We took A1, as recommended. We did not know there was a portable toilet next to our bedroom window. So we could not open the blinds on that side of the villa the whole visit. There was plenty of space in the parking lot to have the toilet away from housing, but they decided to place it next to our villa A1. Next the plumbing was shutoff in all villas one day for multiple hours. From about 7am-5pm most of the days it was very loud and busy. There were constantly landscapers around. Many times they were just outside our windows and doors, leaving their drinks and other garbage on the window sills. The side of our villa was used as storage for many of their tools. It was very uncomfortable. Also, you could barely drive in and out or back out of your driveway due to all their trucks, equipment, etc. The day before Thanksgiving was the worst. Some brick paver guys showed up and decided to position their brick cutting station directly next to our villa. Cutting brick is extremely loud. There was plenty of other space on the property they could've done the cutting, but they picked next to our occupied villa A1. In addition to the noise of the cutting, there was lots of dust. Dust coated our rental vehicle and the screened in porch of our villa. The dust just floated through the screen. Honestly we could never utilize the screened in porch due to the constant noise and workers literally inches away from the screen. Also, the brick pavers decided to block in our vehicle for multiple hours with their truck and trailer. It doesn't take much common sense to know you don't block a driveway, especially one with a vehicle in it. However, these workers had no common sense and neither does the management at horizons west that hired them. We tried to complain when we got back from the pool and beach but all the staff was gone by noon on this day. Finally I had to yell at these guys to move their truck so we could get out. We were looking for an apology, maybe a discount for the constant inconveniences, but we can't even get a single reply. They just don't care. Maybe our stay would've been different if we had the other villa, but the staff recommended A1. We took their recommendation and paid the price for it. Honestly with all the problems no one should've been allowed to stay in that villa. It was extremely poor management of the work being done. Plus, very poor judgement by the workers. They are extremely cheap with things like soap, toilet tissue, garbage bags, etc on every visit we've had there. On this visit to A1 we also had an infestation of "sugar" ants, around the kitchen, as described by the staff. Maybe they aren't cleaning the villas thoroughly between guests. If you must stay here AVOID villa A1 at all costs. It may be best to find other accommodations because if you do encounter problems the staff at horizons west will simply ignore you. They don't care about you.

DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!!! Please do your research and read the reviews on Yelp. This owner was…read moreabusive, degrading, and unprofessional. He then tried to threaten me and said if I posted my poor experience, (that was witnessed by 17 individuals), he would sue me. My lawyers had to be copied on the emails and once I put them on the emails, Dan told me I was, "blocked." Up until I copied my attorneys on the emails, Dan continued to send threatening emails. Despite me putting it in writing to please leave me alone. I have attached pictures here of our conversation. The conversation was initially dismissive, then he began to threaten me stating that if I went public he would have me charged with a crime. https://m.yelp.com/biz/gertrudes-village-house-siesta-key While the rental company is not responsible for the inside features, nothing worked. The fridge was broken, the air conditioner would work on some nights, others it did not. The sink would clog and the drainer was broken. This hasn't been addressed because it says they are not responsible for this in the contract. But for your knowledge, the pictures are deceiving. We originally booked this place as a 4/3. Please do your research. Dan, the owner, charged us for a 4/3. We placed a call to Dan to let him know we didn't have the 4/3 and in front of 17 individuals on speakerphone, Dan corroborated this by stating, "yes absolutely. That unit is included with the rental." Dan then gave us the address to the second unit and we walked over there, only to find a family inside. It wasn't until he gave us the address and we attempted to get inside, that Dan called us back and took back everything he said. Unfortunately, the website says it's a 4/3. The owner will likely respond by telling you our email correspondence says I agreed to a 3/2. I have attached those screenshots here. He continues to send me a link that I did not click on. I did it through their website. It is advertised as a 4/3. When Dan realized he double booked, he called us back and said we were mistaken. Despite telling us, "absolutely. The 4th unit is included with your rental." The contract also states we are responsible for looking at the website, which advertises this as a 4/3. Upon my attempt to speak with Dan, he yelled at the top of his lungs, "STOP!!!!" It was the most bazaar reaction. I then said, "excuse me? I am trying to explain my frustration with you." Dan then responded by stating, "ugh I don't feel like dealing with this. I'm on vacation. You booked what you booked. This isn't my problem." I asked him who I could speak to when he is on vacation and he responded with, "no one. This isn't my problem. I don't know what you want me to do. I don't feel like dealing with this." Our email exchange sums up the majority of the issues we faced with Dan. I didn't raise my voice once. I tried to calmly express my frustration and the owner responded by yelling at me, telling me it wasn't his problem, and talking down to me. Please read the reviews on the company. NOT THE LOCATION. The location is why this place continues to get bookings. The owner attempted to sell me a rental that opened up the next morning. He ignored the fact that I paid him for the 4th bedroom and then he charged another family to stay there. Therefore, he charged both me (who did not stay in the 4th unit) and the other family, (who actually stayed in the unit). He essentially rented the fourth bedroom twice, profited from us both, and the other family stayed in it. When he texted me the next morning asking if I wanted the extra unit for a "discounted price." I said "no thank you." I didn't send another text or send any emails. I was going to let my lawyer handle it when I got home. The owner then started an email chain stating I booked the 3/2. When I attempted to defend myself, he threatened me, coerced me, and tried to scare me into posting this review. It wasn't until I copied my lawyer onto the email thread that he stopped sending messages. Even the last email was an attempt to threaten me if I went public with this.

We have rented through Duncan Real Estate for the past 4 years. Petra has made every years month…read moreget away perfect in every way. We drive from Vermont to the island in March or April. For the past 2 years (2021 and 2022) we have stayed in a duplex rental on 81st Street. The 2 bedroom, 2 bath rental is clean, comes equipped with every beach amenity imaginable, includes both children and adult bikes and helmets, and a kayak. The beach is an easy 3 block walk from the house. The only downside to this property is the screened in back porch is never quiet as the neighbors pool has a loud filtering system that never turns off and the air conditioner unit is loud. Sadly we are not able to rent this home for 2023 for the dates we wanted but Petra from Duncan Real Estate found us an ideal rental in the price range we could afford. (Rentals have almost doubled in price over the past 5 years!) I highly recommend working with Petra at Duncan Real Estate if you are looking for a vacation rental on AMI.

For many years, my husband and I have rented on AMI. This year we rented AMI BEACH HOME through…read moreDuncan for two months. This is considered a premier rental. We will NEVER rent this house again. For starters, the kitchen was minimally stocked... Just the required pots, pans, dishes and glassware, but NO serving dishes, platters, etc. We assume their personal serving pieces were in several kitchen cabinets that were locked. MORE importantly, the owners live in a different country, and manage the electrical system for AMI Beach Home from their home abroad. We were UNABLE to use the SPA for several days while the problem was being DISTANTLY resolved. The MOST significant issue was that we were WITHOUT Wi-Fi for six days, a MAJOR inconvenience to us during our stay . After almost a week of the owner trying to fix the problem from abroad, it was finally resolved. To compensate us for our inconvenience at this premier rental, the owners reluctantly but finally agreed to compensate us with a " small gift card to a local restaurant" I will end by saying that my husband and I found this "compensation gift" AN INSULT as we were paying $700+ per night for this premier property Respectfully submitted , Bennett Prichard

Excellent choice if you need a Realtor in Sarasota! We…read morerecently bought a home using Peter as agent. Peter is one of those rare people that combines knowledge, integrity and personality. He was extremely insightful and helped us to see the potential of the property even though it needed updating. Peter had connections with Home Inspectors, Attorneys, A/C guys and misc workmen, all if which made the process go quickly and painlessly. Everyone he recommended did a great job for us and we will continue to use them in the future. Peter knows Sarasota well and can quickly direct you to different neighborhoods to fit your price range and specs. He is pleasant to work with, always answered our calls within an hour or two and worked to accommodate our schedule. He even humored us at the last minute to allow us to take one more look at some other homes. It made us even happier with the home we purchased. If you want a no pressure realtor (and a gentleman besides) to help you find your perfect home, definitely give him a call. His assistant Priscilla is very helpful as well.
