This house is our favorite vacation spot! We have stayed here several times, and it never disappoints. MJ is amazing to work with and the house is beautiful! We absolutely love the outdoor setting, and the nightly dolphins are a plus. We rent kayaks and take them up the canal and to the sandbar to watch the sunset. The fishing off the dock is fantastic and the house has become a home away from home for us! We can't wait to go back.

Beautiful House & Great Location

We've stayed at many Siesta Key properties over the years and this was our favorite house out of all of them. We watched dolphins and manatees swim by. We rented a motor boat and kayaks which made a huge impact. The house was well stocked with cooking items and the host was very accommodating.

Thank you Mitch for your enthusiastic review. We share your view that Villa Siesta is unlike other rental properties. It’s design, interior luxury spaces, location, city views and, (of course) dolphin and manatee visits makes it quite special. You were delightful guests to host from the start. Great communication and we thank you for caring for the house as if it were your own. We welcome you back happily. Warm regards, MJ

The BEST

If you’re looking for an amazing house in Siesta Key you can stop here. Absolutely beautiful property that you won’t want to leave. MJ is a fantastic host that made sure we had everything we needed. We watched dolphins from the dock everyday, the sunsets were spectacular, and our families had plenty of room to spread out and relax. This property is perfectly located close enough to the beaches but far enough for a peaceful retreat. Stay here. You will love it.

Great Place - Very Spacious, Well Appointed, great Hosts

The house is beautiful and very spacious! The view and fishing opportunity of the canal and bay are gorgeous. In December, would prefer either more sunny hot weather, a more highly heated pool, or a hot tub. Myself and my young adult children are all thinking about a return trip with our friends…without a hot tub though, I’d target a warmer month. Lots of fun nights cooking and playing games at the expansive off kitchen dining table. Overall, a complete success!! Thank you!!
