About this property

Sweet "Rae" of Sunshine-Coastal Oasis, Prime location & GOLF CART INCLUDED!

Welcome to Sweet "Rae" of Sunshine, a newly updated coastal oasis in the heart of Siesta Key! This family-friendly, spacious home is just a few blocks from Siesta Key Village and the #1 rated white sand beaches in the country! A quiet neighborhood providing a serene stay, yet extremely convenient location to all Siesta Key has to offer! 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths. Sleeps 11 guests. Heated pool/spa with private Lanai. Plus, a 6-seater ELECTRIC GOLF CART INCLUDED IN YOUR STAY!

The moment you pull in to the paved driveway of our Sweet "Rae" of Sunshine, you will be WOWED by the beautiful scenery and Floridian charm. As you walk through the grand entryway, suitcases in hand and flipflops on, we hope you are instantly invited with the feel of that warm coastal aesthetic and consider this your new home away from home. Not only do you get a gem of a home in a highly desired location, you are also getting a fun, stylish ride to allow you to conveniently cruise all of Siesta Key, all while making great memories! The aqua blue SIX SEATER ELECTRIC GOLF CART IS INCLUDED IN YOUR RENTAL, making this home the ultimate package of everything you need and more!

A full kitchen with basic everyday dining and cooking needs to whip up some meals at home! Although we recommend all the delicious foods the gulf coast has to offer, we understand that convenience is key, hence why we made sure a large dining table that seats eight, plus island seating could accommodate all guests to gather and enjoy meals together. Not to mention, the double panoramic sliding doors provide indoor living to be brought outdoors to your backyard oasis with lanai. Just picture, splashing in the heated pool or spa, soaking in the sun or relaxing in the lounge chairs with a cold beverage from the mini fridge just taking in that fresh Florida air. The ultimate vacation while all being together in one large indoor/outdoor space. Other highlights during your stay include an outdoor shower, ideal for rinsing off your sandy feet and salty skin. Direct outdoor access to half bath. Private fenced yard. Lawn games, pool floats and water toys. For a day at the beach, sand toys, umbrellas, beach chairs and wagon will make your experience at the country’s #1 beach a seamless and fun day! ******WE APOLOGIZE, BUT OUTDOOR GRILL IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE TO GUESTS AS A SAFETY PRECAUTION, DUE TO MISUSE IN THE PAST.*******

The second level is a private ensuite King bedroom designed with a calm, natural beauty where coastal meets relaxed tropical. Full bathroom with double sink and walk in shower. Large closet and dresser. Mounted TV, fan, and adjustable brightness bedside lamps with charging ports. A suite that every vacationer dreams of!

The third level contains the remaining bedrooms, full bathroom with double vanity and shower/tub combination and washer and dryer. The first bedroom up the stairs has a twin daybed with twin trundle. A designated workspace for those needing to clock in some hours during your stay. A private balcony that overlooks the serene beauty of all the palms on the property and the sun setting at night. The perfect space to unwind or take a quick business call in peace and tranquility. The queen bedroom’s soft, airy, oceanic design is the ideal resting space after a long day in the sun. A mounted TV, fan, large closet and dresser are included in this room. The final bedroom, designed by our “Sweet Rae” herself, is the ultimate bunk room that can sleep six children on the full-full bunk with twin trundle, or adults can comfortably sleep below while two kids call “top bunk!” Tall dresser and closet as well, with extra storage on the side of the bunk as well. How ever you accommodate guests in this room, it’s the ultimate vibrant room with that perfect Florida charm we hope all will enjoy!

Those staying with littles, a highchair, two Pack N’ Plays (own crib sheet needed) and sound monitor is included. Please note, the home is not baby proofed.

Other amenities: Queen air mattress available. Free Wi-Fi. Basic Xfinity Channels with access to log-in to your own Streaming Apps. Two Kayaks with oars. Lifejackets in assorted sizes not provided. Pedal bikes may have seen better days as past occupants did not take care of them correctly. But, if you would like to take one for a ride, they are there for you to use.

A 20minute walk to Siesta Key Village of cafes, restaurants and nightlife is also a desirable way to travel & enjoy the beautiful neighborhood while getting your steps in!

The host is kind and responsive and the house was impressive and clean. It’s also within walking distance of a bunch of restaurants and bars. Close to a beach and the house comes with a 6 seater golf cart.
Large island in the kitchen.
The obvious focal point of the house.

We loved this house. We celebrated a cousins 50th birthday and had so much fun. The location is close to all restaurants and beach. The golf cart was so fun to use. The house is nicely stocked with necessary items, pool noodles and toys. There was everything needed for the beach.The most important part was the owners were very responsive to all questions. We look forward to coming and staying here again.

The house is beautiful, but for a raining day .The heating pool is with solar panel, we can barely use . The outside grill don’t work. If you want to enjoy the privacy for a price off almost 900 dollars a day ( include cleaning fee ) all the amenities Such as pool and grill should work .

Response from VrboOwner on 23 Sept, 2025
What a bummer the weather didn’t cooperate during your stay! However, the cloudy weather had no effect to the pool operation. The pool is not ran off the solar panels as you stated in your review, so the heat should have worked in full operation when guests follow the simple step by step instructions in our Digital Welcome Guide that was shared with you to operate the brand new AquaLink pool system. We wish your communication about this was shared during your stay so we could have walked you through the proper use! We do apologize for the inconvenience of the grill not being in working use, as we communicated to you during your stay, the guests that left the day before your check-in date had a major problem with the grill causing safety concerns and the company couldn’t get out to service before your stay. For the safety of our guests, we didn’t feel comfortable having guests use the grill until it was serviced. We hope your overall stay with the other amenities our home and the use of the golf cart made your trip in Siesta Key an enjoyable one. Thank you for taking care of our home and great guests!

The location of the property is great. The home is very clean and well furnished. The kitchen is well equipped. The golf cart was super fun. The property owner was very responsive. On the downside, the outdoor grill is not in service. We bought food to grill before knowing this. When we contacted the owner about the grill not working she replied that we were notified in the listing that the grill wasn’t available, however, I reviewed the VRBO listing and the Canva details for the property and both indicate the property is equipped with an outdoor grill. There is no mention of the grill being out of service. Also, the water in the pool and spa were not warm enough. The temperature of the pool/spa is set at 87 degrees but the pool temp was not 87 degrees. I’m used to a spa temp of 100-104 degrees so the spa was not warm enough to be enjoyable. There is a note from the owner above the pool/spa unit that indicates the temp must not be set above 87 degrees and that the owner can see pool settings on their cell phone. I found the note and monitoring of the pool settings to be a bit off putting. Because of the note, I didn’t bother to contact the owner about the water temperature being too cold as the note makes it clear that 87 degrees or below is the appropriate temp, as per the owner. I’d connect with the owner before booking about the status of the grill and the ability to raise the pool/spa temperature if you plan to use these amenities during your stay.

Response from VrboOwner on 27 Oct, 2025
We appreciate your honest feedback. We hope overall you enjoyed your stay at Sweet Rae, despite some of the miscommunications. We truly apologize about the grill being inoperable (it caused a very serious safety concern with a former guest & safety is our #1 priority). At the bottom of paragraph 3 of the listing description, it does state the grill is no longer usable to guests. But you are correct, it was not updated in the Welcome Guide you received after booking—our sincere apologies for that! As for the pool/spa heat, we will definitely be looking into your feedback about it not feeling like the set temperature. As for the requested temperature limit, we have that for the pool system’s longevity as it’s the recommended setting also. But as hosts, we are very open to meeting the needs of our guests and would have been happy to help you in the adjustment of the temperature. The access to the heat from afar is in case it gets left on while the property is vacant. We are sorry the pool/spa temperature didn’t meet your expectation, but if there would be a next time, please reach out, we truly want the best for our guests! Again, we hope overall this home was enjoyable during your time in Siesta Key. We enjoyed having you as guests and appreciate the feedback!

Everything is as listed online. The home is beautiful and convenient to the downtown location. I suggest grocery shopping prior to arriving on island as the market is limited. The gold cart makes getting around easy. The pool and hot tub are the frosting on the cake of this lovely home.
