House was very clean and at a great location. We were able to visit four different beaches all within 25min drive. (Siesta Key, Turtle, Venice, and Leido Beach.) Plenty of great local restaurants to choose from and a beautiful view of the canal in the evenings. The amenities were plentiful and all as described. We had an amazing vacation at this house and appreciate the hosts care in keeping it up!

Super Siesta getaway

Had a wonderful stay with the family. Such a lovely property. The house was as advertised. All the amenities were great and the pool was the perfect place to cool off from the hot sun. We also enjoyed playing bocce and hanging out on the dock watching all the creatures by the canal. Would stay here again.

We had a great week! The weather was fantastic all week, a little breeze, not too hot or humid. We enjoyed the whole week in the gorgeous pool and cooking on the egg, I got to get one of those! Everything worked perfect in the house, and we look forward to visiting again.
