Travel times depend on season, time of day and route.

Check-in is contactless and simple: a smart lock gets you into the home the moment your check-in window opens, no meeting anyone required. You'll have full access to the private backyard, heated pool, game room, fire pit, grill, and screened lanai. A few closets holding cleaning supplies stay locked for safety.

Saltwater Siesta is a 4-bedroom, 3-bath home built around one idea: give a multigenerational family enough room that nobody has to compromise. The open-concept living area flows straight onto the lanai and pool, so grandparents can keep an eye on swimmers without leaving their coffee. A queen Murphy bed tucks away here too, for whenever the group runs bigger than expected.

The kitchen is the room past guests keep bringing up — one wrote it was "the best equipped kitchen we've ever had at a rental."

Stainless appliances, a spacious island that seats four, and a coffee corner built for early risers and late sleepers alike. Lanai dining means the whole group eats together.

Down the hall: a primary suite with a king bed, ensuite bath, and pool view for whoever needs an oasis away.

A second king room and a third queen room give the rest of the adults real privacy, not a shared pull-out.

And then there's the room the grandkids claim within minutes of arriving — a whimsical, underwater-themed bunk room with two twin beds, a sea turtle, dolphin, and a mermaid on the walls, & even a boat on the ceiling.

Room by room:
• Living area — two plush couches, smart TV, vaulted ceilings, Murphy bed, board games, books
• Kitchen & dining — fully equipped, island seating for four, lanai dining for eight
• Primary suite — king bed, ensuite bath, pool view
• Bedroom two — king bed
• Bedroom three — queen bed, TV
• Bunk room — two twin bunk beds, underwater theme, built for kids
• Three full bathrooms — stocked with everything guests forget to pack

Games & Entertainment:
• Indoor: pool table, ping pong, foosball, arcade racing game, ring toss, board games, Bluetooth sound system, smart TVs
• Outdoor: mini golf, cornhole, bocce ball, putting green & turf play area, fire pit seating, movie projector for outdoor movie nights

Family Extras:
• Beach Ready: beach chairs, towels, wagon, umbrella, coolers, and
• Little People Extras: BabyQuip partnership for cribs, high chairs, strollers & more

Multigenerational families spanning grandparents to grandkids who want everyone under one roof, not split across multiple hotel rooms. Reunions and milestones that need real space to spread out.

Families with a wide age range of kids, from kiddos who love the bunk room to teens who claim the arcade.

Traveling families with IMG Academy business who want a home base minutes away.

Snowbird groups settling in for a longer Florida stay.

Past guests have called the whole place "extremely clean, well managed, and very equipped with every essential or useful item you could imagine."

Nothing here is an afterthought, right down to the extra pillows, blackout shades, and fan waiting in every room.

This home is perfectly located for easy travel around the Sarasota, Bradenton and nearby beach destinations, with incredible easy access to the Sarasota International Airport at just 3 miles away- seriously a hop skip and a jump from the airport! Most top attractions are just a short drive away, making ride share services, rental cars, or your own vehicle the best options for getting around. Free parking is available on-site. Need a ride? Uber & Lyft are widely available. And be sure to check out the open air trolleys and fun bus options on the islands. More info in our Welcome Book!

Please note: Travel time varies greatly depending on the season.

We want you to relax, have fun, and make memories — and we ask a few things in return so every guest gets the same great stay:

• Quiet hours are 9pm–8am. This is a close-knit residential neighborhood, not a party house, and noise decibel monitors are active 24/7.
• Max 10 guests. No parties, events, or unregistered visitors — this is also an insurance requirement.
• No smoking, vaping, or drug use anywhere on the property, inside or out.
• A quick online check-in (rental agreement + ID) with our online platform called Happy Guests is required within 48 hours of booking to keep every stay safe and insured.
• Exterior cameras are active at entry points only (front door, garage, pool gates) — never inside or in private outdoor spaces.
• We're about 3 miles from SRQ Airport, so occasional plane noise comes with the territory (plus great plane-watching from the backyard).
• One small, house-trained dog may be approved in advance with a pet fee — please message us the breed and weight first.

Treat our home and our neighbors with the same care you'd want in your own, and we'll happily welcome you back.
