It was Perfect!

Review Submitted: 11/27/09
We stayed at the Casa this weekend and it was perfect! The accomodations were great, especially the master bedroom and bathroom with a great view of the beach and ocean. It was wonderful taking a shower while viewing beautiful siesta key. We had 8 women and the houses accomodated us without a problem. The pool was the perfect and so was the maintenance man. We had a few small issues, but he was there immediately to address them. We look forward to spending another ladies weekend again in the future. Dana, Bradenton, FL
Owner response:Dana and gals, Thank you again for taking the time to share your comments and we hope to see you again in the future! Sincerely, Bambi & Staff of Casa de Mariposa

My six friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casa Mariposa. We were enchanted by it all: -location: proximity to Siesta Key town, Sarasota and, of course, the beach -fantastic decor and attention to detail throughout the home -pool and deck were perfect for relaxing and brunces -ease of booking, arriving and departing instructions -rapid and effective communication with the owner I would not hesitate to recommend this property 110%. Now I totally understand the high return rate! Kathy

Girlfriends 40th Vacation

Review Submitted: 11/11/11
Our stay at Casa de Mariposa was amazing. This was a special vaction for 8 friends from high school celebrating our 40th Birthdays together. The house is so gorgeous yet feels really warm. We rented the larger unit which was worth it because of the large deck we were all able to sit on it and enjoy the view in the A.M and P.M.(it faces the ocean) A big thing for us is that we didn't want to have to drive any where because we planned on have some adult drinks. So everything was either in walking, biking or a wonderful servie that runs on tips only called Johny's free beach rides. It all worked out perfect. The selection of bikes were great and we loved the double bike a lot. We were able to purchase food and have a fun cook out by the pool one night and the beach is right across the street down the path ( 2 min. walk) There are so many great places to eat out and fun night life (Gilligan's) I would highly recommend this place. It is the perfect location and is well taken care of. Thank you Bambie for sharing your special home with us. You gave us happy memories we will never forget!!!
Owner response:Thank you ladies! We look forward to seeing you in the future! Casa de Mariposa

Review #2094344 "Couldn't have been better!!!" We planned our wedding around the Casa and it was a spectacular event! We took both units - had 2 catered events for family, and multiple informal dinners for the same group. The units were spotless, well equipped and perfectly maintained (they even provided fans to help cool the area by the pool for the party!). When the weather didn't cooperate, we moved the "barbeque" inside to the very spacious living room/kitchen area without a problem! And Bambi is a consumate party planner - she has suggestions/recommendations for everything and anything you would ever need! Don't be afraid to ask her for any advice! We loved every second of our wedding and honeymoon "with the kids". Wouldn't have done it anywhere else, and couldn't have done it without Bambi!! Loved that there were many separate spaces; when you have lots of people (or kids!) it's hard to find alone time. The Casa has so many balconies; made it easy to escape for a few minutes of peace and quiet without leaving the house! The extended family had so much fun that we want to make it an annual event. Only problem - everyone wants to stay at the Casa!!
Owner response:Thank you & congratulations again! We wish your family well and look forward to having you back again next year for an annual family event!

My husband and I chose beautiful Siesta Key Beach as the site for our wedding. For convenience, we decided to seek lodging nearby. In our search, we were fortunate enough to happen upon Casa de Mariposa. 10/10/10 was the date of our wedding, but this is also the rating I would give this home! 10's all around! The home was absolutely beautiful! It was very comfortable and inviting, as if it were a home our family owned. It has every ammenity you could ask for, from elevators to little red wagons, from coolers to 2-seater bicycles, from canopies to doggie crates, from margarita machines to wine refrigerators. Even the neighbors were nice! Parking can be a challenge near the beach, but the neighbors offered us parking at their houses! Our guests LOVED the place and kept complimenting as if it were ours! Casa de Mariposa was such an integral part of our wedding, that it shall remain in our hearts forever! Sometimes I imagine myself looking out of the port hole in the master bedroom again and immediately feel at peace. I would..scratch that..WILL definitely stay there again in the future and would whole-heartedly recommend it to others! Thank you Bambi, for opening your home to us! It was much more than just a place to stay, it was an experience not soon to be forgotten! :o}
Owner response:Maisha and family..we wish you well in the future and thank you for your comments! We're all about the memories and hope to see you soon!

Perfect family reunion location!

Review Submitted: 11/20/10
We had spent weeks looking for the right property to satisfy the needs of our large family for a family reunion. We wanted a property that was on/near the beach, close to shopping and dining - not a remote location, recreational activities available, and adequate sleeping arrangements. According to the rental description, Casa de Mariposa seemed the ideal selection; and when we arrived at the property, our expectations were exceeded! The home was exceptional in every way! We selected the front unit because of the extra balcony which proved to be one of the best features of the property. Our family enjoyed this breezy space with a view of the water for dining, card playing and puzzles. Cooking for the five sons and wives was a joy in a well-stocked kitchen that overlooked the living room. Having bicycles, beach chairs, sports equipment was also a real plus! The beautifully decorated rooms and baths made the weekend even more enjoyable. Casa de Mariposa truly was a HOME away from home!
Owner response:Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on Casa de Mariposa and making memories! Happy Holidays and we look forward to having you back in the future!

Not only a wonderful vacation but also an inspirational experience...

Ah...where to start? The characters allowed on this "little box" can cover everything that I would like to express. It was an excellent vacation from beginning to end. Casa de Mariposa...an unforgettable place, it has every material thing that you could possibly need plus a sense of peace and relaxation that is difficult to describe. We were 7 adults and 1 little one, Casa was special for all. Siesta Key itself...well... that is the center of the universe. Thank you Bambi for having us. I really hope to visit Casa in the near future again and also to meet you someday.
Owner response:Giselle, Thank you so much for your kinds words and we do hope to see you and your family in the very near future. Warm Regards, Bambi

Perfect Beach Rental

If you are going to Siesta Key, this is the only place to stay. They have the place fully loaded with toys, bikes, pool stuff, beach chairs, kitchen needs, beach towels, etc. There is literally nothing missing from this place. All the rooms are very nicely furnished and have flat screens TV's. The pool deck has tons of room and is fully furnished as well. We had 10 adults and 6 kids and it was no problem at all. Our group will be going back next year for sure.
Owner response:We look forward to having you again ! Thank you! Bambi

Great Family Trip - Casa was a perfect fit!

Review Submitted: 07/02/10
We just got back from a wonderful trip to Siesta Key where we stayed at Casa de Mariposa (back unit). Everything was as described, and the little extras at the house - baby stroller, toys, coolers, chairs, etc. - just made our stay that much more enjoyable and relaxing. We would recommend Casa to anyone (friend or relative) as it is perfect for a romantic getaway, a family vacation or a group of friends. The location could not be better. We were concerned that we would be on the main public beach, which can be very crowded, but our accessway to the beach was to a nice private area that was quiet and really beautiful! Perfect location, perfect house - perfect vacation! We will be back - Thank you Bambi!
Owner response:Thanks Erin! We look forward to seeing you again soon!

Siesta Key @ Casa de Mariposa

Review Submitted: 07/02/10
Loved the location and amenities of the home! It was clean and very well maintained. Customer service and response by the maintenance personnel was exceptional. I would definitely recommend this property to family and friends. If I had one very small "complaint" it is that the pool could have been larger and the elevator was not in working condition. We were very fortunate that we did not have to share the pool because when we weren't in the Gulf of Mexico, we were in the pool!
Owner response:Thanks PC, We appreciate your feedback! We do turn off the elevator for the safety of our guests, if it is acting "temperamental". Unless a guest has a medical need we do not service the elevator during a tenant's stay unless requested. We are happy that you were able to use the heated pool for some time alone! Regards and thanks for staying with us! Bambi
