The place was beautiful, exactly as pictured. Our daughter loved the bunk beds, felt like she had a secret space. The backyard was perfect for morning coffee/tea on the canal… I saw a manatee 3 days in a row! We biked around everywhere - to dinner and to the beach. Really enjoyed our stay and love coming to the key.
We enjoyed the house. It was nice to have a water view, and the neighborhood was beautiful, with gorgeous palm and oak trees everywhere. There was plenty of space, and we appreciated the extra room in back that had a desk for the part-time work I was doing. Sarasota was close by, with a lot to do, including the Selby Gardens and Ringling Museum. Siesta Beach is awesome! Jon was very accessible and responsive when a few questions came up and provided us with lots of information on beaches, restaurants, etc.

Thanks for staying. So glad you had a nice time at this Siesta Key cottage.
I cannot say enough good things about this property and its owners. The location is amazing! Right along the canal, walk to town and walk to the beach. The views from the patio are incredible. The house is really great, modern updates, super clean and has everything you could possibly need. Such care and attention went into getting it guest ready and it shows. The owner provided us with all the advice we could possibly need, checked in on us and made sure everything was great for our stay.
He even bought a new grill during our stay as the prior one was aging! We have had an epic summer in this home. Could not recommend it more, we will be back!!!!

Why they chose this property
We chose this neighborhood because it offers a rare balance of tranquility and convenience. The streets are quiet and shaded by a beautiful canopy of mature trees, creating a peaceful setting that feels distinctly Old Florida. It’s ideal for morning walks, evening strolls, or simply enjoying the slower pace of island life. At the same time, you’re within easy biking distance of Siesta Key Village, the beach, restaurants, and local activities, making it simple to enjoy everything the area has to offer without needing to drive.
What makes this property unique
What makes this property stand out is the rare balance of peaceful waterfront living and easy access to everything Siesta Key offers. The canal-front setting provides a quiet backdrop for relaxing, boating, fishing, or simply enjoying the view — with occasional manatee sightings adding a memorable touch. Multiple screened outdoor spaces make it easy to enjoy the Florida climate comfortably year-round.
At the same time, you’re just a short bike ride to Siesta Key Beach, the Village, restaurants, and local activities. The thoughtfully updated home, included bikes and water gear, and the walkable, tree-lined neighborhood create a more relaxed and immersive island experience than many typical vacation rentals.
