My family and I had a wonderful time in the Sarasota/Siesta Key area. This home was conveniently located to everything we wanted to do from going to the beach, fishing, shopping and dinning out. The house was nice and clean, spacious, comfortable and tastefully decorated. The guesthouse was too cute! The outdoor living area was perfect for the additional space it provided and the kids couldn’t get enough of swimming in the pool. We would definitely stay at this property again!

We adored everything about this home. The location was fantastic! Walmart & Publix were just a few minutes away, along with many other stores. So many beaches to pick from, depending on how far you want to drive that day. All five of my children are already asking to book this home again. We even took a couple days to just hang around the house & enjoy the pool.

Great place for a family getaway

We enjoyed staying here. It was conveniently located to the things we did. It was just a short drive to siesta key. It had plenty of room for a family of four. Our grown kids loved having their own rooms and we put the kitchen and grill to good use. We also appreciated the beach chairs and cooler that we used most days. The pool was nice but too cool to swim in during Dec/Jan. We would stay there again.

This place is PERFECT!

We were allowed to check in early and check out late, which is pretty rare. The location of this house is near the beach and every store you could possibly need. The beds and the bedding were excellent. House was cleaned impeccably, and I am picky. The pool is much prettier in person than the pictures depict and there were plenty of toys to play with. Big TV’s in every room. The screen porch is amazing. If you are visiting Sarasota and need a place to stay, this is it. The owners were extremely responsive and a pleasure to deal with.

Roomy and great location

My Mother and I stayed here to attend a graduation. We found it exactly what we needed for the two of us and her little chihuahua. It rained every day so the pool did not get used. I have to say that Chris was so responsive to any needs we had. The only suggestion I had was that maybe a heavier, non seethrough curtains or blinds and also that smoke detector needed to be replaced.. this place is in a quiet neighborhood but still close to shopping. Great space for a family to spread out in.

Fantastic!

We found this house when planning our first real family vacation in over 4 years. We couldn’t have been happier here! The house was great with a nice relaxed feel and plenty of room for our kids to run around. Chris was great from the start offering some toys and a crib for our youngest. His amazing communication never stopped through the whole trip and when we were faced with all day thunderstorms, Chris and his wife showed up with a DVD player and a selection of kids movies and books/puzzles. The only down side was my family didn’t want to leave! Highly recommend this house to any family.

Book it!!!

My husband, two young children and I just got home from a fantastic week in Sarasota.The house is even better than the pictures. Each room is very large and there's a ton of room to spread out in the indoor and outdoor living areas. The screened in lanai /pool was wonderful for the evenings and with a fully fenced yard and beautiful trees, it was all very private. We could enjoy being "outside" without the bugs. What truly made this a fantastic experience for us, though, was the owner and property manager. Not only did they provide us with all of the baby necessities we needed (crib and highchair), but they even brought our kids some toys to play with while we were there! I can not say enough good things about this rental home. The location was perfect, walking distance to Publix, Walmart, Denny's, Walgreens and a short 10 minute drive to the beach and just 10 minutes to downtown - Siesta Key is paradise once again!

Perfect location and home for anyone with a student competing at Youth Rowing Nationals. 15-20min drive from the venue. Relaxing. QUIET. Easy house to be in and enjoy. Ample kitchen amenities, great pool, super comfy beds and sheets, plenty of linens and paper products for a six day stay. All complemented by superbly welcoming and responsive host from the first inquiry. I would absolutely stay here again!

Awesome rental!

My husband, our grown son, his significant other and an 11 year old had a wonderful Christmas in this home! The weather was cold for Florida so we did not venture out much but shopping was really close so we cooked all our meals and just made memories! The pool is not heated so I was not expecting to be able to use it anyway. We had our fur babies with us and they enjoyed the fully fenced yard as much as the rest of their human family. The lanai was great too with a tv so on the warm days we took advantage. We are from Illinois and we missed a blizzard with temperatures -40 degrees so we were very happy to be in this cute little beach house for Christmas 2022!
