About this property

Bright 3BR/2BA Home, Huge Fenced Yard & 6 Blocks to Siesta Beaches

The house is a bright, constructed in 2005, 3 bedroom home near the Siesta Beaches. This property is nestled in a quiet community a 10 minute walk from the white sands of Siesta Key's Crescent Beach and 3 blocks from the shops, restaurants and boat rentals of Stickney Point Bridge area. There are plenty of good restaurants, coffee shops, pizza, ice cream and boat and bike rentals within walking distance.

This home is built on the property that has been in the family since the '50s, and is situated at the front of a large 0.4 acre property with half of it a fenced-in, grass backyard. Kids and dogs love the safe environment in which to play as adults watch from the large (12' x 40') enclosed lanai, or the kitchen or great room. Two bedrooms (12' by 10' with a queen bed and 12' x 10' with two twin beds) and a full bath are on one side of the house. A large (14' X 28') and open great room is in the middle with a view of the backyard and the lanai through 3 sets of glass French doors. The master bedroom (12' x 13') suite with queen bed, and kitchen are on the other side of the home. The home is kept up-to-date and has a fully-functional kitchen, very fast internet (currently 1 Gig.) and WiFi throughout the house and part of the back yard..

We built this place specifically as a bright and airy beach house in 2005. It is designed to accommodate our family and pets for vacations in carefree, tasteful and low maintenance living. This house is designed to stand up to hurricane winds, with low energy usage due to its special construction. We have tried to make this a turn-key place for visitors to enjoy, from coffee grinders to hairdryers, we have outfitted it for our use and yours. There is also a guest book, that we and visitors update with menus and brochures from local sites and vendors, including such things as rentals for cribs, baby strollers and sports equipment. There are several places to setup an 'office' for those who can't get completely away from work. We hope you enjoy it!

This property is located across the Intercoastal Waterway from Siesta Key on Beechwood Ave., which means you can visit the beaches without having to put up with traffic on the only two bridges, it is a quieter location, and the price is right. Another advantage of single family homes is that you are not limited to a single car.

We and our property manager are nearby and will take care of any problems, questions, suggestions or feedback.

BTW, the reviews and photos you see are real. Most of our winter renters are returnees, some for 9 years or more. Four of the past renters have purchased their own homes in the same neighborhood.

Wonderful. Big fenced in yard for pups & near beach

Stayed here while my home was being renovated. Everything you could imagine in the House and especially the kitchen. So close to the beach and all of Sarasota. Hop skip and a jump to everything! One of the kindest landlords I have ever met and I travel all over with VRBO!

Great Place!

Loved my stay at Beechwood! The home was lovely and the backyard huge. My pup had never seen so many dog savey squirrels 😂. Any issues that I had were quickly resolved by Jacklyn, who was a pleasure to work with. The location is amazing and I would definitely recommend.

A Slice of Summer in January

All you need to bring to this house are your clothes and toothbrush. The house is stocked with everything you would need for a perfect vacation. There are great restaurants within walking distance from this house. Siesta Key Beach is less than a 10 minute drive from the front door, all beach items you could possibly need are all at the house, all you need to do is load the chairs, buckets and shovels into your car and then off you go. The location of the house is close to shopping, wonderful restaurants and entertainment. We fell in love with the house on our first day and are already planning in returning next January.

Fabulous Sarasota rental

We rented this home for the month of March, 2019. It is by far the best home we have ever rented in the Sarasota/Siesta Key area. It is located in a quiet neighborhood close to the beaches of Siesta Key . The home itself is beautiful and very well kept. We thoroughly enjoyed the spacious screened porchwhich provided views of the huge backyard. The kitchen was well stocked with anything you would need to prepare a meal. The beds were comfortable and there were ample towels and extra bedding available. This house is a gem and the pictures and the description are totally accurate. We had a wonderful time and hope to return.

Addicted

I cannot help but repeat how special this piece of heaven is. We are usually in Sarasota in March. However, I would HIGHLY recommend you consider this for your family's summer vacation. It is ideally located for the surplus of activities to enrich the lives of your children; play at the beautiful white sand beach and relax in the comfort of this house. The yard with shade and sun is more than ample for your pets and little ones. All the reviews are true so I will not expound. You will regret not considering this comfortable, welcoming home.

supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

We love this house, neighborhood, the bubbly and efficient property manager and responsive owner. We stayed for 2 weeks in April and the whole month of December in 2014. The house is very comfortable, completely equipped and much better looking in real life than in the photos. The yard is perfect for our dogs and the neighborhood a friendly place to trot them around. The neighborhood doubles as a bird sanctuary; beautiful beautiful birds sing and play. In December a Bald Eagle stopped by. This is a really great home, welcoming in every way, a definite must stay.

Quiet neighborhood, home away from home

This was the second summer we rented this beautiful home. The location and the house are perfect!! You don't need to bring anything but clothes-this house has everything you could ever need. We love the huge fenced-in backyard to play ball with our dogs and we especially enjoy riding our bikes to the Siesta Key beaches, the Siesta Key village and even to Publix. The neighborhood is quiet and very family friendly and close to the beach, downtown Sarasota, Venice and many restaurants. Highly recommended for a cozy, relaxing vacation.

Welcome to paradise!

Did you like what you saw in the listing photos? It looks exactly like it in person!!! This is a lovely home which feels just like your own home! You will be able to prepare any meal you desire because the kitchen is so well appointed. You can also scratch the cooking at home idea and eat at one of the wonderful restaurants in the area. The owners have complied an excellent notebook of interesting dining options, as well as information on what to do in the area. It is a 5 minute walk to Cresent Beach, or you can jump in your car for a 5 minute drive to Siesta Key Village beaches. I travel with my two dogs, and they can't woof enough about the GREAT YARD...totally fenced in with plenty of space to run and play with the neighbors' pooches. The neighborhood id very quiet and safe. I was completely satisfied with the home! It was everything and more than I expected!!! Kudos to theproperty owner and the management company for being so accommodating and answering any questions I had. The month went by too quickly!!! I didn't want to leave! Best vacation rental I have found in the Sarasota area!!! Two thumbs and eight paws UP!!!!!

Perfect vacation spot!!!

This is by far the best place in the area! The big backyard gives privacy and safety for children to play. The beach is a ten minute walk. The neighborhood is really quiet so we had a very peaceful stay and didn't want to leave. We will be back as soon as possible. The home is very nicely decorated giving a homey feel you can relax in. The couch and chairs are all washable slip covers allowing you to relax with kids. The floors are very cool stained concrete. Everything you can think of is provided!

Sarasota Heaven

This lovely home is complete in every aspect and is as advertised by the owner. Our grandkids and pet were never bored with the large, fenced yard to run and play. Guests needs to bring only their desire to relax and enjoy themselves on Siesta Key or downtown Sarasota. We have visited this area over 30 years and this is, by far, the best accommodation in the best area. Can't wait to return in 2011.

About the host

Hosted by Bill Archibald

Host profile image
I am a Sarasota (Siesta Key) native. My grandfather created Palm Island on Siesta Key, and in about 1947, I helped my father build the original Beach Club (in the village on Siesta Key).

Although we live in the San Francisco area now, my family and I return as often as we are able, often for a month or more, with or without the two mini Doxies. To us this is the most relaxing place on earth. Because we fly from CA, the place has to be complete. We often host the whole family (7-10) for Thanksgiving dinner.

Why they chose this property

We designed the house and had it built in 2005, but this property has been in the family since 1959 when my parents retired. The location is ideal because it is just OFF the Key to avoid heavy summer/winter traffic, but within easy walking distance of Siesta Key beaches, boat and bike rentals, and several very good restaurants, especially for breakfast.

If you don't know about Siesta Key you should Google it, because it is stupendous and way too much to describe here. However, I'll add that building sand 'drip castles' on this beach is something every one from 2 to 92 should do at least once in this life.

What makes this property unique

We rebuilt the house in 2004/5 to be our ideal Florida beach house. We live in California, and we made sure the house is fully outfitted so there is no need for us to bring anything with us on the plane.

For us this is a place to go to 'decompress' and relax. We think the beaches are the best in the world, and that big back yard is so quiet and relaxing. There is always some part of the yard in shade and some in sun, so we each have our favorite spots. When we finally get a good dose of relaxing on the beach, on the lanai, in the yard, or on a boat, there are so many things to do nearby the biggest problem is which?

The wireless high speed Internet even works in the back yard if you are an email junkie like me, or should actually have to do some work.

If they wish, we stay in touch with our guests, by email/phone, during their stay to answer questions, recommend restaurants and things to do. The local manager has also lived there for a very long time, so there is no shortage of 'tourist' info. There is a 3-ring notebook that is actively maintained both by us and renters with places to go, menus from favorite restaurants, and house info.

We also own/rent the house next door (VRBO 483975) and there is a secret removable section of fence between them.
