This was our first time to Siesta Keys and loved it. House was perfect for our family. It had everything we needed. It was the perfect beach bungalow! We loved our secret beach access a short walk away. We could walk to sunset every evening and we even had a dolphin swim right up to us - Thanks for the memories!

Wonderful home and all on one level!

Our group consisted of both in-town residents and out-of-state visitors. One of the in-town people was my 88-year old mother. Naturally we wanted a place all on one level. This home had everything we needed and at a reasonable price. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen fully equipped, and the place was spotless. I would stay here again for sure.

Fabulous Stay in Siesta Key

We stayed during spring break 2021. The house fit our family of 6 (2 adults and 4 teenagers) perfectly and was very clean and had everything we would have wanted. Bonus was a den with a fold-out couch that we were not expecting but definitely put to use. The lanai was a great addition to the house and we ate all of our meals there. The gardens were gorgeous. Everything was well-kept. We would highly recommend.

Ladies week away

This home is exactly as pictured: beautiful, clean, roomy, well stocked, convenient and quiet. All communication with owners was quick and efficient. We used nearby Shell Beach, except at high tide, with plenty of parking. Patio and outside sitting areas are lovely. This home was a quiet oasis surrounded by lovely beaches, museums and restaurants, exactly want we wanted. It felt like our piece of paradise. Thank you.

Charming home in a great location!

We really enjoyed our stay. Cottage has all the charm of an old Florida cottage and all of the modern conveniences. Wi-fi was reliable. A/C totally comfortable. Kitchen modern and up-to-date. W/D just what you would expect. A perfect place for two semi-retired professionals to get our work done, access all of places we like to play (beach, biking, kayaking, excellent restaurants, theater, music, etc.) and visit friends all over Sarasota. Owners were very responsive to minor issues that arose. Hope to come back next year!

Florida Trip

The property is located on the far north end of Siesta Key which requires transportation to any of the beaches or shopping areas. The property was relatively clean although either the cleaning company or previous tenants had not been quite diligent in some areas - linens, towels etc. There were a few issues that required outside professionals to rectify during our stay however both the owners and the Property Management Group responded quickly.

Bay Isle

I really hate to say how wonderful the house and location was for our family as I prefer to keep it as a secret. House was clean, perfectly equipped and convenient to the beach and town. Owners were delightful to work with and we will be staying with them again.

Great Bungalow

Really nicely decorated and appointed home. Katie was great. We arrived and were welcomed with Vinho Verde and salsa and chips- lovely touch! The shell beach down the block is lovely for sunsets.

Great Stay. Great Location

Home is exactly as stated, hosts were very quick to respond even though we had very few issues. located on the north end, was away from the madness of Siesta but close enough just in case you wanted to join in. Highly recommend

Very nice home for a family stay

We really enjoyed this home. It was quiet, well equipped with everything you need and had good WiFi as three of us were working remotely. The home is adorably furnished and has a sunroom off back for reading/relaxing It was easy to get off the island to run errands but you did need a car. Closest thing to walk to is about 1.5 miles There is a cute little beach a few blocks away for chilling or watching the sunset Overall is was a great beach town home and would definitely stay there again
