About the host
Hosted by Jenni
Hi, I’m Jenni, and I’m so glad you’re considering a stay at one of our Siesta Key homes. My family splits time between Minnesota and Siesta Key, Florida, where we’ve created a small collection of thoughtfully designed vacation homes that blend comfort, style, and boutique-hotel touches.
As a designer and host, I love creating spaces that feel welcoming and relaxed — places where families and friends can truly slow down and connect. Each home is intentionally designed, from the layout to the linens, to make your stay effortless and memorable.
When I’m not designing or hosting, I enjoy time by the water, exploring local food spots, and gathering inspiration for future projects. Our goal is simple: that you feel at home the moment you walk through the door.
We can’t wait to host you on Siesta Key and help you experience the beauty and calm that make this island so special.
Warmly, Jenni Vacation House Design
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with Siesta Key for its easygoing charm and incredible natural beauty. This neighborhood sits between the Grand Canal and Siesta Beach, giving guests the best of both worlds — peaceful waterfront living with quick access to the island’s lively village scene.
We especially love how walkable and bike-friendly the area is. From morning coffee and boutique shopping in Siesta Key Village to sunset strolls on the white quartz sands of Siesta Beach (ranked the #1 beach in America), everything is just minutes away. The neighborhood has a friendly, small-town feel, yet it’s close to Sarasota’s dining, arts, and cultural attractions.
There’s something truly special about waking up to canal views, spending the day on the water, and ending with a Siesta Key sunset — it’s everything we love about island living.
What makes this property unique
The Boat House is a true Siesta Key classic — a waterfront home that blends Old Florida charm with boutique-style comfort. Every detail is thoughtfully designed to feel warm, relaxed, and beautifully livable, from the five king bedrooms (each with its own character and view) to the chef’s kitchen, heated screened-in pool, and private dock on the Grand Canal.
Unlike most vacation rentals, this home offers the space and flow of a private resort while still feeling personal and inviting. Guests love that they can fish or paddle right from the backyard, then walk or bike to Siesta Beach and Village within minutes.
It’s the perfect mix of luxury and laid-back coastal living — a place where groups can spread out, reconnect, and truly feel at home on the island.
