ONE MILE from beautiful Siesta Key, #1 beach in the USA!!!
Welcome to your cottage by the gulf of Mexico! Blue Haven is a comfortable 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom cottage located one mile from Crescent Beach (my favorite Siesta Key beach), with a gorgeous, heated, salt water pool (with baby gate, if needed) in a completely fenced-in, private backyard where you can enjoy your meals grilled on your weber grill, sitting by the pool or in the screened-in lanai. If you bring your four-legged babies, they will love exploring the large backyard! You are minutes walking distance to a fabulous Thai restaurant, a wonderful bakery, an awesome breakfast/lunch deli/restaurant, and a barbecue joint! You have everything you need within a mile-radius of your home base, yet the street is so quiet and private, you would never know you are in such a vibrant area!
This cook's kitchen has beautiful granite countertops, and is fully stocked with all of the utensils, kitchen equipment, and pots and pans you will need if you want to cook in or grill out by the pool. The washer and dryer are located in the kitchen for easy access.
The living room and dining room are comfortable and "beachy" - just like you want for your beach get-away! The island colors and light, airy feel of this comfortable living space will lighten your spirit and entice you to lay back and let the tropics invade your senses.
The spacious master bedroom features a comfortable king bed, a dresser, a desk, and an attached master bath. The master bathroom features a large walk-in shower with two shower heads for a luxurious shower after the beach, the pool, or a day of exploring all that Siesta Key, Sarasota and the surrounding areas have to offer.
Two bedrooms are on the other side of the living area. The one bedroom has a comfortable queen bed, a desk and a dresser. The other bedroom has two comfy XL twin beds and a dresser. These bedrooms share a bathroom with a shower/tub combination.
The screened-in lanai has a very comfortable sectional, as well as a table where you can play cards, games or have a meal. The freeform salt water pool is heated and oh-so-wonderful for a morning dip, an after-the-beach dip, or for an evening swim with the gorgeous blue light illuminating the water.

Awesome location to the beaches and many restaurants.The Gulf Gate shopping area is a hidden gem to many boutique restaurants and shops.The owners of the property were fantastic to work with and the house was very comfortable.Can’t wait to return next year.
My family and I had a wonderful time. The house and pool were great. Loved the tropical fenced-in backyard. Also my dog loved the doggy door off the porch.
We loved our 8 nights at the Blue Haven. The pool was a marvelous, private retreat and heated nicely for the cooler weather. The backyard is spacious and framed by beautiful trees. The house has an ideal layout to give everyone privacy. Also has a modern kitchen with everything you will need. (I loved the espresso maker!) Large screened in porch with comfy furniture was yet another place to hang out. From the front door it is a 15 minute walk to the Siesta Key bridge. 10 minutes beyond that are the sands of Crescent Beach. Gorgeous sand and beach.The neighborhood is very safe and quiet, great for dog walking! Thanks for providing a relaxing home away from home!

I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay! It is nice, quiet and secluded, a great place to relax!
We had a wonderful time! Location was close enough to the beach to walk and everything else was a short drive. The Botanical Garden is so beautiful worth checking out! The pool was a hit with all of us!
Excellent location. Near beach downtown with supermarkets and shops around.
Clean house with everything you need and owner super attentive to the details.
Would recommend this house to everyone! The pool and house location are spot on. Plenty of great restaurants in local area, we really enjoyed our stay!
Very nice place to spend a relaxing vacation. The house was inviting, the pool was excellent and Nancy was very helpful in answering our questions/needs. We would easily stay again.

The owner was great at communication and offered lots of great suggestions for places to eat and things to do. If I'm ever back in this area I would definitely stay here again!

So happy you had such a great girl's trip and enjoyed Amelia House!
We couldn’t have been happier with our stay and we consider ourselves picky. Owner went above and beyond and we will be staying again!
Owner provides things others don’t which just makes it all so much easier.
We all said it was our best vacation and the house was a huge part!
Enjoyed the neighborhood and house but the convenience of beaches and shops! The pool was a family hit. The kitchen is well appointed and had everything and more we needed. The screened in porch was a nice morning or night time place to relax. Overall great stay for our family.
