Our family had a great time staying at this property. The house is very clean, well equipped and located a few minutes walk from Shell Beach (a small beach). I would definately stay here again!

Thank you very much. Looking forward to you coming back.
This vacation rental exceeded our expectations and was equipped with everything our family needed. The home was very clean, tastefully decorated and very spacious with plenty of hang out areas for our family but our favorite part was the pool! The home is just outside the hustle and bustle of town but still close to everything including shell beach which is a very short walk and a great place to catch the sunset. Terrific vacation rental!
What a beautiful home. Check in was staightforward which we were grateful for after a 9 hour flight into Tampa. The house was exactly as we'd hoped from viewing the listing; spotlesslt clean, well equipped with appliances and kitchenware, and we found the beds to be very comfortable. The balconyand pool areas had great seating and lounger options, perfecting for relaxing.The location was great too, the road was quiet and a good base for exploring Siesta Key as well asLongboat Key, Brandenton and Anna Maria. I had a couple of questions for Paul before we arrived which he answered very promptly. The welcome gift was very thoughful and well received, thank you Paul.
The week of vacation was fantastic. The house was very clean, more than enough room throughout the whole house. The pool area outside was great. Overall we had a great time staying here.
We really enjoyed our week at 229 Ogden with our two daughters in July. The house had everything we needed, the pool was great and Paul, the host was really helpful.
Everything was as described! We have 3 kids aged 13,11 & 7 and they had plenty of space and loved the pool. Kitchen was great...we cooked/grilled many times. High quality appliances. Neighborhood is still cleaning up from the hurricane, but this property was in great condition. Thank you for a great vacation!

So glad you and your lovely family enjoyed your stay! Thank you for taking such good care of our home!
Hope we have the opportunity to host you all again!
This home was beautiful. Every amenity you could ever want or need. The owners went above and beyond to accommodate our every need. We will definitely stay again in this home. No one will ever be disappointed with this home or the owners!
Our host, Paul, was incredibly nice and extremely responsive throughout the booking process and our stay. The home was very clean and had everything we needed stocked. There is lots of room in the home to spread out. The home itself is located incredibly close to every major activity in Sarasota. Everyone in our party was very pleased with our stay, and we are looking forward to potentially stay again in the future!
We loved our stay at this Siesta Key home. The pool is fantastic. The amenities of the home met our needs. We cooked most of our meals and the kitchen is adequately stocked. The location is great and it’s very easy to get to Lido Beach, Siesta Key, Venice beaches, Walt’s Fish Mkt and grocery stores. Paul is great to deal with and very attentive to ensuring a pleasurable stay.
We stayed here for 10 nights and had a very nice time. The home was clean, the pool is heated, and the neighborhood is quiet. The house is a short drive to everything and is nicely furnished, with plenty of towels and dishes. The owner Paul was very quick to respond with any questions and was quite friendly to work with.
If we decide to stay on the north side of the key again we would definitely consider this home an option.
This property was perfect for our family of 4 adults and 3 children and the pool was beautiful. The house was located in a quiet neighborhood close to the village with easy access to Sarasota. The kitchen was well equipped, lots of pool and beach toys, and the house was nicely decorated with new landscaping. The owner was great to work with and so accommodating and resolved minor issues quickly. We definitely would rent again.

Penny, it was an absolute pleasure having you stay at my house on Siesta Key. Thank you for your kind review and come back and visit again soon.

Our January 2023 stay at Paul’s house was fantastic. The pool and spa were used everyday. The house and the property are beautiful. The gas grill and charcoal grill were in excellent condition. The location of the home makes going to Siesta Key or Lido Beach so easy. We would definitely stay at this house again. Any issues that arose during our stay Paul addressed very quickly. He’s a great host.
We booked a week here, we had the most amazing time, Paul is an incredible host, the house is ideally situated, near beach bars and restaurants. The house is so beautiful the pool is incredible, we thought the photos wouldn't do the pool justice, thinking it would be small but pictures made it looked big, but no it really was big. The house is well equipped and there are lots of extras to make your stay easier. Any questions we emailed the owner, he was very prompt with getting back. We definitely recommend this lovely house.
We really enjoyed our stay. Paul is a great host and very responsive. The house is comfortable for a family and the kitchen was well equipped with all new appliances. There was even a desk area for remote work. But the pool area made our vacation. It's a beautiful heated pool with a spa. The lush landscaping gives you a sense of seclusion. The house is situated at the north end of Siesta Key which made it easy to get off the island to get groceries or go to dinner without having to deal with beach traffic.
Quiet neighborhood nestled between Siesta Keys and Sarasota
We had a terrific time. There were some small broken items with the house and overall in good shape. It was nicely decorated and well stocked with pool toys and rafts. As well as bikes and any dish or appliance you could need.
We liked that we could get to Sarasota and the village within 10 minutes so allowed us to visit all the area!
We did not think the very small beach 5 minutes walk from house really classifies as a beach and we would have liked to be closer to the beach.

It was very nice having you stay and thanks for the review. I have had the small broken items fixed (thankfully within a couple of days of your arrival) and thanks for your patience. I hope to welcome you back some day.
Our family had a great Spring Break! Our first trip to Siesta Key. We wish we could’ve stayed longer. Paul, the owner was wonderful and very responsive. We loved the location. Easy and within 10 minutes to Siesta Beach. The perfect sunset beach spot just a 5 minute walk across the street. Quiet, private and safe location. The pool was a hit for our family, and we had more than enough room in the house. We cooked every night in the awesome kitchen! Highly recommend Southern Steer Butcher on Bee Ridge Rd. Great, family-owned establishment with a little of everything. A quick 15 minute drive.
Thank you!

Shell Beach Closure -
Overall, it's a beautiful property. However, we booked the location with the understanding that it was walkable to a small local beach. That beach - while still somewhat accessible - has been closed since the hurricane 7 months ago with no expected date of re-opening. When I spoke to the owner, he did offer a very small credit as a gesture of goodwill but as of our checkout, has yet to update the listing to include the closure. When I attempted to use VRBO as an intermediary for communication, they informed me that the owner told them that I asked for a discount in exchange for a positive review - and that simply never happened. Siesta Key is still drivable, but parking lots are filled by 10am. Unfortunately, we paid a premium for walkability and this property did not deliver.

Lenore,
Thanks for your review and feedback.
We encourage our guests to check on availability of attractions (particularly if they‘re important to the guests’ enjoyment of the stay) prior to booking.
While we try to be mindful and attentive for our guests, we unfortunately don‘t have the ability to control the opening/closing of attractions near our property.
Regards,
Paul
The house was sold the week before we arrived so there were a few transition headaches for us. The new owner Paul was very understanding and responsive.
There is a lot to really like about this house - it’s very nicely decorated, huge well-appointed kitchen, the beds were very comfortable, and there was lots of space for family members who needed to work remotely.
Unfortunately, the pool heat wasn’t turned on until Wednesday so the pool water wasn’t warm enough to swim in until Thursday of our one-week stay. The hot tub is the same temperature as the pool. The “hot tub fee” was reimbursed.
There were only four of us but this house would also be great for a larger group.

The guests were fantastic and understanding. As the review mentioned, we had recently purchased this home and we were fortunate to have these folks as our first set of guests.
The pool issue was due to the previous owner turning off the heat on the master control (the console for the pool showed as set for the correct temperature). We had our pool service come in and address the issue. The hot tub was subsequently fixed with new jets and a new motor so that it now functions as true hot tub (water hotter than the rest of the pool). In addition, we've gotten rid of the "hot tub" fees as it caused confusion for our guests.
We're in the process of upgrading many of the features, we hope you'll visit us again!
My family of five (husband and three kids, 7-7-4) stayed for a week. The house is lovely, well maintained, and the listing is accurate. The pool was fabulous! There is a well stocked kitchen for cooking too. The washer and dryer were essential and super handy.
I ranked a 4 out of 5 flor cleanliness because we had pet hair on our pjs. This was our first week long rental and I didn’t realize “pets welcome,” so I take responsibility for that aspect. The pet hair isn’t really a big deal, but it really set my son’s allergies off. For that reason I’ll make sure to pay attention to that on future listings. The property manager was supposed to send directions and didn’t, which was okay because the GPS worked fine. It took several hours for a response when I messaged asking if beach chairs were available on the property. Again, not urgent, fortunately. We did end up finding them in the basement, but they were super rusted and not appealing whatsoever (as was the rest of the beach stuff that was in the basement). We absolutely loved the deck overlooking the pool and well manicured yard, but an umbrella would’ve been great either there or near the pool itself (strong sun until about 5pm) with barely any shade.
I do recommend the property, but it’s important to share the details as I find it helpful when others do so as well.

Thank you very much for your 5 star review. I appreciate your comments and it was a pleasure having you stay at the property. Would you mind if I just commented on your feedback. Just so as future guests have some perspective.
Sorry to hear about the pet allergy. The house does accept small dogs. It is professionally cleaned after every visit but I guess it is highly possible that an odd hair can escape. I did actually send you an email myself with all the house directions before you arrived (please check your inbox for 22nd April). Sorry about the chairs. I do not, as part of this rental, commit to provide beach accessories (although guests sometimes do leave them behind).
I really appreciate the feedback and will definitely think about how I can keep improving guest experience.
All the very best.
We had a wonderful stay at this home for our family vacation in Florida! The house was very clean, comfortable, and well cared for. The pool was definitely a highlight for our family — we spent so much time enjoying it throughout the week. The host was also fantastic with communication and always quick to respond to any questions. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to others!

About the host
Hosted by Paul Lee
We came to the Siesta Key area when our son enrolled in IMG Academy in nearby Bradenton to pursue his dream of playing professional baseball and we took the opportunity to get to know the surrounding area.
We fell in love with Siesta Key and have been spending more and more time here.
The people, the variety of dining experiences, the beach, the ocean... What more can I say?
Why they chose this property
We looked for several months before we were lucky enough to purchase this beautiful home. Its oversized pool, perfect location (it's at the north end of the key so you avoid most of the traffic), proximity to the village and beach (less than a mile), as well as the quiet, serene neighborhood. You really couldn't ask for more.
What makes this property unique
First and foremost is the oversized pool. The Key and surrounding areas are amazing but sometimes you just want some privacy and serenity. That's what 229 Ogden gives you!
It's close enough to all the attractions but gives you the flexibility to duck out and enjoy the peace and quiet with your loved ones.
