The Space:

This house is one of a kind! You must see it to believe it! Let's start with the outdoor living spaces via its covered patios, balconies, pool area, and entertainment space. The pool and covered patio are the real gems! The lagoon style, heated saltwater pool and spa is 70 feet long with a waterslide, sun shelf, and it meanders through lush native landscaping creating the most magical space. The covered patio space features a one-of-a-kind pool bar that you'll need to see to believe, and outdoor dining and lounging spaces. These spaces are all within the fenced in backyard for privacy and security making it family friendly and perfect for the home's pet friendly policy (fees and restrictions apply). As you go up in this home, you'll find multiple balconies with seating and amazing views on all levels, ending at the roof top deck that features wide open Gulf of Mexico, Siesta Key Beach, and City views.



Once inside this approximately 4,500 square foot home, you'll notice the elevator with service to all floors, the high ceilings, expansive windows and sliding doors to maximize the amazing views, and beautiful carpentry and interior design, all of which provides for a spacious feel throughout the home.

Family vacation 2025

The house was very nice, the only negative was construction next door was a bit noisy and styrofoam kept blowing over on the property and in the pool. We had a great time and the kitchen was great for having a chef prepare dinner for a couple of nights to celebrate my wife’s birthday.

Clint, Thank you for your thoughtful feedback and for choosing to celebrate such a special occasion with us. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the house and that the kitchen was perfect for your chef-prepared dinners. Regarding the construction noise and the styrofoam blowing onto the property and pool, we understand how that could impact your experience. Unfortunately, construction next door is beyond our control. However, thanks to your helpful feedback, we have ramped up our efforts to mitigate these issues as much as possible. Our team now conducts property walks multiple days a week to ensure the pool and backyard spaces remain clean and clear for our guests. We truly appreciate your understanding and hope to host you again the next time your travels bring you to the Siesta Key, Lido Key, or Clearwater Beach areas! Your Host, Vunique Vacations

Excellent Vacation

The home was everything we could have imagined. Beautiful, clean, and well stocked. Plenty of space and various activities for the whole family. It is truly just steps from the beach and town - the location could not be better. Communication with management was timely and without issue. The only problem that we experienced during our stay was an overheated pool - this issue was quickly fixed by management after we contacted them. We had a private chef in and out of the home all week and it was no issue at all after providing management with appropriate documentation. There is loud construction next door that I do feel should have been clearly disclosed prior to booking. With that being said, it would not have prevented us from staying in this incredible home in Siesta Key. During a particularly loud day of construction, management called to check in with us and offered to compensate us partially for an excursion out of the home if we wished. All in all it was a great vacation and we would definitely come back!

Sarah, Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're so glad to hear the home met your expectations and that your family had a wonderful stay. It's great to know the location, layout, and amenities made for such a memorable experience, and we're happy our team was able to respond promptly when needed. We do want to note that in our Terms and Conditions, which are shared with all guests prior to booking, we include a disclosure that there may be nearby construction. While we understand how this can impact the overall experience, if the work is not associated with one of our own projects, it is unfortunately outside of our control. That said, we always do our best to support our guests in real time, whether that means offering flexibility or assistance during their stay, as we were happy to do in your case. We truly appreciate your understanding and would love to welcome you back the next time your travels bring you to the Siesta Key, Lido Key, or soon-to-be Clearwater Beach areas! Your Host, Vunique Vacations

Amazing property, annoying management

First, the good. The property is AMAZING--brand new, beautifully decorated, wonderful pool, outdoor bar area, huge balconies and rooftop, with lots of brilliant extra touches throughout the house--really feels like you're staying at a resort.The not-so-good. There is currently construction of a giant condo complex right next door that starts at 7 AM! The crane was literally overhead each morning. Might want to hold off until the condo next door (and the other nearby construction projects) are done unless you don't mind banging 12 hours a day. Management somehow didn't mention this, though there is fine print in the contract that says that they don't have to!The bad: Management. After reserving and paying you will start getting contracts, additional rules, etc. The contract (no mention in the ad) is draconian!! Can we have a couple of friends who live nearby drop by during the day? NO! Not even for a few minutes to say hi? NO! Can we have a caterer (who wants to cook for 18???) NO! unless it is from this list of three approved ones! But worse -- one night several people not with us were loudly talking/partying on the street. We started getting texts that their "monitoring software" is detecting too much noise. Thirty minutes later we get a "final warning" threatening eviction. Overall, "management" felt like a corporate overlord rigidly enforcing ridiculous rules rather than a human with sense.So -- great place, buzkill management, and major construction noise.

Dear Mikhael, Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on your recent stay. We’re pleased to hear that you found the property itself to be amazing and well-appointed with the amenities we carefully curate for our guests. We understand that unexpected construction noise can impact a stay, and while we strive to keep guests informed, nearby projects are not within our control. However, we encourage guests to reach out if they experience any disruptions during their stay so we can assist in any way possible. We are sorry to hear this feedback, and we just wish you would have reached out during your stay versus only hearing about this now, in your review. Regarding our ‘house rules & policies,’ we aim to balance an exceptional guest experience while also respecting our neighbors and the integrity of the property and community. During the in-person tour that we provided you at check-in, your property manager explained that additional visitors were welcome if the home’s occupancy limit was not exceeded. We have documented that 8 travelers were part of this reservation, which would have allowed 11 additional guests to visit. This occupancy parameter is a requirement of our insurance policy for the home and our management company, and in the even the listed occupancy is exceeded, ‘event insurance’ is required. Similarly, our insurance providers require a certificate of insurance (COI) from any vendors that will operate onsite – specifically private chefs and in-home catering due to the nature of their work. We offer a list of vetted private chefs, with COIs on file with our company, for convenience and flexibility. However, we are always happy to allow our guests to choose a vendor outside of that curated list, and when notified of that, we are happy to assist our guests in obtaining the required insurance documentation. Finally, we do use Minut noise monitoring systems in our homes. They are privacy compliant and only monitor decibel levels within the common living spaces of the home (inside and outside). These devices are designed to assists our guests in complying with local ordinances and laws and avoid any unwanted visits from code enforcement. Alerts were triggered multiple times during your visit from within the home, not from outside of the home. We notify guests as a courtesy and only take further action when necessary to prevent disturbances for surrounding neighbors and guests. We regret that these policies felt restrictive to your group, but they are in place to protect the experience of all guests, our homes, and the community that we operate within. We appreciate your feedback, and we hope that our responses here were helpful. We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a smoother stay in the future. Your Host, Vunique Vacations
