Great place for a family vacation. The kids had a lot of fun in the pool. The water fountain in the pool did not work. The barbecue grill was pretty rusty we ended up having to go to a store to get a barbecue pan to grill on. Had plenty of beach chairs and one umbrella. We would stay there again.
We loved everything about this place! From the pool and spa/hot tub, to the huge, clean rooms, and bathrooms, to the short drive to the beach, and the beach gear (the chairs, umbrella, and wagon) was a hit! Communication was top-notch and prompt, and we hope to come back soon!

The host reached out to us to make sure we had everything we needed, so we knew he was available, but the place was so well appointed and maintained, that we had no need to speak with him. It approached record lows while we were here, so not the beach weekend we were hoping for, but the house was cozy and the company wonderful. Hope to stay here again.

Great stay in Siesta Beach. Enjoyed hanging out in the TV room with other families. Bedrooms were very nice and roomy. Very close to Siesta Beach restaurants which was nice. Property Manager was very responsive. Definitely a great place to stay.

Perfect again
4th stay with Gertrude, 1st at this property- everything was excellent. The house was perfect- clean, spacious, conveniently located- kids and adults all enjoyed themselves. Will definitely be back.
To start Daniel's home was amazing. There was so much space for our family, the rooms and common area were clean and set up so nicely. We were thankful that he allowed us to have our pet with us and that there was a fenced yard. The pool was heated and beautiful the kids loved it so much. The location is perfect distance from the beach and all stores or eatery's in town. We will definitely be staying here again in the future for sure.

The place was excellent to stay and the staff were attentive incase of any questions we had. Everything was perfect with this house. It felt like home away from home, relaxing, all needs well taken care of.
My family and I ranging from children to senior citizens enjoyed this home. It was spacious, very clean, and has a great pool! The best thing was the just Daniel. He was very responsive and super nice during all communications. I highly recommend renting this home in the quiet neighborhood very close to the beach.

Wonderful Family Reunion
Seven adults gathered for a family reunion from around the country for 4 days.The house, cleanliness, furnishings and pool were even better than expected. The kitchen was well equipped, although, we only ate breakfast in. Although it wasn't heated, the pool was delightful and easy to access. The location was perfect, one mile to Siesta Key beach and close to shops and a wide variety of restaurants.The Owner was welcoming and extremely helpful and responsive. We highly recommend a stay here. We hope to come back again!
We enjoyed our stay on our first Siesta Key visit. The house is located on a quiet street with a fantastic pool and hot tub. The location is very close to beaches and Siesta Key Village. Probably the quickest responses I have received from a host, and the easiest check in and departure of any trip I've taken.We were a little disappointed that the pool wall fountain was unable to be turned on for the kids. Some of the furniture ( some bedside tables and the dining table in the sunroom) were a little unstable and made us a little nervous around the little ones. They had beach chairs, a wagon, and a few other items for guests to use at the beach. They were in great condition and used every day! It was great to not add renting equipment to our stay. Also, some turf instead of gravel around the pool would have been great for play for the kids. We would all stay at this home in the future. It’s a great choice for families or 3 to 4 couples to have a fun week at the beach!
