Very Clean, Great Location

Highly Recommended!!! Very Clean home, high end decorating that you simply do not see in rentals. Unless you are on the ocean you could not be closer to it. Literally right across the street. Often we were the only people on the beach as far as the eye could see. Only about 30 min into St Armands Circle. What isn't to like about your own private pool that heated to a very comfortable temperature. We have been all over Florida, stayed in some 4-5 star hotels and our 11 year old says he liked this the best. If you have having any second thoughts, don't. Go ahead and rent it I am confident you will be happy. TV's in just about every room, Xbox, Kayaks, Grill, Rafts for the Pool and Wireless internet access make this a great place.

We had a wonderful time at the Casey Key house....it was perfect for our family of five. Every room was perfectly decorated and being so close to the beach was such a treat. We look forward to returning to Casey key again soon!

My husband and children have traveled to many tropical islands (Aruba, St. Croix, Hawaii, etc.) in the past few years. We have also visited Florida numerous times (Anna Maria Island, St. Augustine) recently, and we all enjoyed our adventure to Casey Key as much, if not more, than most of our other trips! As stated in other reviews, the home is exquisitely decorated (while somehow conveying the feeling of relaxing in a familiar place) and ideally situated in a quiet neighborhood. The view from the pool and patio is lovely during the day and it was so wonderful having the secluded beach right across the street. The home is close to everything but it feels like you are miles away from the hustle and bustle. We ventured out to Siesta Key and to other restaurants in the area, but we all preferred relaxing at the property on most days. We did travel to Ft. Meyers to tour the winter estates of Thomas Edison and Henry Ford and to lunch. I also would recommend visiting Sarasota and tour the Ringling Estate and Circus Museum. Also, make sure that you spend an afternoon searching for shark teeth on the beach in Venice (we found over 70 teeth in one afternoon!) And when you need a break from walking the beach in Venice, have lunch or cocktails at the casual beach restaurant, Sharky's. Another great neighborhood restaurant is the Casey Key Fish House. We were planning on cooking more dinners at the house but feel in love with the casual food at this local gem. Whether you want to make Casey Key your home base and visit neighboring towns, or if you'd prefer to sit and relax, (or a bit of both!) Casey Key Beach House is the place for you!

My husband and I rented the Casey Key Cabana in early April 2011. We were greeted by John Beck who showed us around the property and explained the workings of the house. He made sure that everythng was in order before he left. The house was beautifully appointed. A bowl delicious fruit was on the table along with a lovely bouquet of fresh flowers on the counter. The heated pool was wonderful and we spent our afternoons poolside. The beach was gorgeous. We walked it every morning and enjoyed evening sunsets out there. We would certainly recommend this vacation home to anyone who would like a quiet relaxing getaway.

WOW! What a place to stay for a dream honeymoon!

Our marriage dream was magnified by our stay at your house, the pictures that you show don't show the total care taken to prepare the house. We were so impressed by the fresh flowers and fruit and the cleaniness of the home. The modern designs from ceiling to floor made us feel we were in a 5 star hotel. We had breakfast every morning, on the patio overlooking the pool and lagoon, this I could do forever. What a beautiful setting nestled in with all the plants and flowers. The beach was so close we enjoyed the walks. The home is also close to many things to do, and we did them all, as time allowed. The kitchen layout was perfect for preparing meals together. When we selected this house we were looking at 3 places to honeymoon WOW did we make the right choice. Hope to return very soon someday.

I just wanted to take a moment and let you know how much we enjoyed staying that the Casey Key Cabana. My friends, family, and all the kids had a great time. I have to admit I was a little nervous and did not know to expect, but everything turned out absolutely fabulous, and it was a vacation rental experience that was one of a kind. We throughly enjoyed the house and pool, the virtual private beach was perfect and worth the long drive from Atlanta. John Beck provided great service, he gave us a warm welcome when we arrived even though we surprised him when we arrived a little early. He was very attentive to our needs and addressed minor issues quickly. He really made the rental experience that more enjoyable. We would definitely rank this as one of the best vacation spots in Florida!!!

Awesome Place to Relax and Unwind

After 17 years of beachfront rental homes, this home is definitely in the top 2-3. Amenities were great, location was great, the pool was extremely nice, and when a crowded beach is 4 or 5 people 300-400 yards away, you have a recipe for a great beach vacation. Our 3 kids really enjoyed themselves and spent most of their waking hours in the pool or on the beach. John (the concierge) was great and took good care of us at check in. We don't typically go to the same place twice but this was such a great vacation, we are planning on a return in 2011.

We spend a week there in the summer of 2010 and found the house to be perfectly appointed with all our needs. When a fishing pole was found broken, the property manager quickly replaced it for us. The neighborhood is very quiet, and the beach was practically empty. The aquarium in Sarasota is a great day trip. Stores are convenient, and it's great to have the choice of the Gulf on one side, or the quiet inter-coastal on the other. Our boys loved the canoes. We plan to return.

We rented this home in April 2010 and I was very disappointed to find it already rented when I began my vac planning for 2011. The home, the pool, the beach and the amenities were as listed or perhaps better. If you are looking for an amazing place to relax, this is it.

Florida at its best ! We were there for one week...busy professionals and we wanted a secure, beautiful site, long walks and a home that we would feel like our own...we had all of the above. Imagine to walk for 2 hours on the beach...and the average number around: 4 people. The house is more than beautiful and had ALL comodities, the pool is perfect in size and location. The only thing missing...two weeks of vacation instead one one. Thanks Jane and John and please, keep us a place in your repeated guests book.

We had a perfect stay at Casey Key Cabana. This house is absolutely beautiful and very comfortable. The beach is amazing- we found it hard to leave the beach and pool for any tourist activities! Casey Key is the perfect place for a relaxing vacation, but close enough to Sarasota, Venice and Siesta Key for shopping and dining (if you can tear yourself away). Thank you so much for our luxurious stay at your home.

From start to finish, John, Jayne, and Magda helped to make it a wonderful vacation for us. The house was so far above expectations, from its decor, to the fine linens. It was all top notch. It even came with a Concierge (Thanks John). The location was beautiful...the bay, the pool and literally steps to the virtually private beach. It was also surprisingly child safe (except for pool, which is easy to keep an eye on). We look forward to the next time we stay at this house in Casey Key as we will definitely be back. Thanks so much. Oh...the Kayaks are a perfect touch too...we had lots of fun padding around and over to the Beach Bar at sunset nearby.

If you are looking for an idyllic vacation, please consider spending it at Casey Key Cabana. The setting on Casey Key is wonderful offering the best of ocean/beach access, bayfront living and poolside relaxation. The home is wonderfully decorated, exceedingly comfortable and appointed with every amenity that you could possible desire. The property is private and would be perfect for a family vacation or a couple's getaway. The owner and management staff (special thanks to all of you!) were exceptionally accomodating. Our week at Casey Key Cabana was all too short and we are looking forward to a repeat visit in the coming year.

We wanted to thank you for our stay in the Casey Key Home. We had a great time and could not have been more impressed with the home, its setting and furnishings. We were pleasantly surprised with every detail of the house. It is not often that so much thought is placed into furnishing a vacation rental home. If you ever need a reference for a potential visitor, please pass along our contact information. Thank you!

We were so pleased to see that the Casey Key Cabana was identical to the photos in ads for the property. More often than not, this is not the case. The Cabana was impeccably clean, comfortable, and beautifully appointed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we are looking forward to our return next year. The owners, their staff, and the local agent were more than helpful and accommodating. The location is perfect for travel to Orlando, Sarasota, Tampa, Naples, and many surrounding areas. We would highly recommend this home to anyone.
