We definitely would recommend this property and owner, Brian. We shared it with another family and there was plenty of space and bathrooms. When we arrived, there was a problem with one of the sliding door locks and Brian had a handyman out there to fix it within an hour. The pool was heated to 84 degrees, which was perfect. The property was very clean and tidy, inside and out. I would recommend making a trip to buy supplies such as dish scrubbing brush, dish soap, sponges, laundry detergent, soap, trash bags etc., as you never know if there will be any left from the last guest. We could have used a full size broom and dust pan in the house and we could have kept it tidier day-to-day.

Some surprises were that there were sand toys and boogie boards for use on the beach which we enjoyed. There were lounge chairs for use on the beach, but no umbrellas, so we brought some and bought an extra.

The location was excellent. It was truly a couple minute walk to the beach. The beach was filled with powder-white sand and the water a sea green color. Beautiful sunsets. Water temp was great for swimming.

The house has a private beach access path. There is a very natrow strip roped off for "the beach house" guests. On either side, it is reserved for other properties. Nice that it was a private beach area/ Nice people and not too crowded.

We ate at Siesta Key Village- but get there early or it's hard to find parking. Another advantage of an early dinner is you can make it back to the beach for the sunset.
