☀️🌴 Enjoy the Best of Florida Living !

Saltwater Siesta was carefully crafted and is lovingly maintained with your sunshine and relaxation in mind. It’s the perfect place to unwind and soak up every golden ray.

Our home receives regular professional pest and maintenance care to keep things comfy and welcoming. To help keep uninvited critters on vacation elsewhere, we kindly ask that doors and windows stay closed. In our sunshine state tropical surroundings, you may still spot the occasional tiny visitor indoors or out — a cheerful reminder that you’re enjoying Florida’s vibrant natural beauty (and that nature likes to say hello too!).

Our pool is lovingly maintained with twice-weekly professional cleanings and inspections, keeping it clear, cool, and ready for a splash anytime. Because it’s open to the fresh air and surrounded by Florida greenery, an adventurous leaf or two may occasionally drop in for a swim — just part of the easygoing island vibe! A skimmer net is provided so you can quickly restore that postcard-perfect sparkle whenever you wish.

Please note that refunds aren’t offered for the occasional leaf or minor pest sighting — just part of Florida’s natural charm. We work hard to keep everything clean, comfortable, and welcoming, and truly appreciate your understanding. Thank you for being wonderful guests, and enjoy soaking up the sunshine!
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

We loved this house! It was the perfect spot to wrap up our vacation before heading home. Awesome location as it was very close to the airport. The place was super clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. It was perfect for our multigenerational family — plenty of space for everyone to relax and enjoy time together. The pool was sparkling clean and awesome to soak and play in! Communication was great, and the whole experience was stress-free. All around, a fantastic place to stay — we’re already looking forward to coming back!

We had a great time!

Saltwater Siesta was everything we hoped for and more! Our girls trip was a total success – the house had everything we needed, and the pool was an absolute hit. We spent so much time lounging, laughing, and soaking up the Florida sunshine. The beds were super comfy, and every space was thoughtfully designed and fully stocked. It was the perfect home base for our getaway. We’re already planning our next trip back. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing and fun escape in Sarasota!

Absolutely Perfect Stay!We stayed at this beautiful home for a short visit with my two grandchildren (9 and 13) and my 81-year-old mother while exploring destinations for a future family vacation—and it exceeded every expectation!The house itself is beautifully decorated, spotless, and so comfortable. Every detail was perfect, from the cozy beds to the fully stocked kitchen. The pool area was sparkling clean and absolutely gorgeous—a perfect spot for everyone. The game room was a huge hit with everyone (including Grandma!), giving us plenty of fun family time together.The location was ideal, close to everything and we felt very safe! Communication with the host was outstanding; instructions were clear and helpful, and it truly felt like they cared about making our stay perfect.We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. This home has everything you could possibly need for a comfortable, family-friendly getaway. We’re already looking forward to returning with the whole family for a longer stay!

About the host

Hosted by Stephanie

Host profile image
Welcome to Saltwater Siesta, where the warmth of the sun, the serenity of the beach, and the lushness of tropical landscapes come together to create a retreat designed just for you and your family. I’ve always loved sunshine, palm trees, hibiscus blooms, and saltwater—and even more so when I can share these moments with my family. My vision is simple: to provide a vacation experience that feels like home but offers all the amenities and luxury of an unforgettable getaway.

My dream is to help families discover their own tropical haven, a place they can return to year after year to create cherished memories. Inspired by my mother a gemologist who shared her love for the beach and Florida, Saltwater Siesta promises you that every stay is crafted with care, capturing a piece of her spirit so that you can experience a getaway that shines as brightly as the memories you'll make.

Why they chose this property

Our neighborhood is multigenerational, family friendly, close to everything fun, and centrally located between the two great communities of Sarasota and Bradenton, Florida. You will have incredible convenience to the airport, groceries, gas, and travel necessities. Plus, we are close to all the activities, amenities, places and dreams a vacation must have.

What makes this property unique

Our saltwater pool is one of the only pools in the area that offer not only being open to the Florida sun but the health benefits of saltwater, too. We also have a themed Underwater Kids Bunk Cove bedroom where the kids can snuggle up with a dolphin, a sea turtle and dream of the wonders of the sea.
