We had 10 people for 2 weeks and there was plenty of room for everyone to spread out. The heated pool and spa were used daily. The walkability was a huge plus. Being so close to restaurants, shopping and the beach was great. The house was clean and beds were comfortable. TV in every room. Don always responded quickly to messages. We have no complaints and would rent again in a heartbeat.

Siesta Castle

We had a wonderful vacation at the castle house. Location was perfect, house was large and set up nicely for our family. Pool area was great, lots of room for the kids. Will look at this place again for our next Siesta trip.

Everything I look for

We vacation often in Siesta Key and I’m always looking for something on the canal with a pool and kayaks that is walking distance to the village and the beach. This checked all the boxes… 5 minute walk to the village and 10 minutes to the beach. The layout of the castle is unique but plenty spacious and clean. Don was a great host and we would stay there again.

Great stay all around!

Property was as advertised. Lots to do at the house, everything was clean and in good condition, and it was a great location. Lots of beach chairs, an umbrella, wagon, toys, etc were provided. We enjoyed kayaking the canal, trying to fish (caught a sting ray and that was it in the canal), pool and spa were great, walk to the beach wasn’t too bad, and location to restaurants and shopping were great. Would definitely stay again.

The perfect family vacation

This is the second summer we've stayed at Castle on the Key and it's become our favorite vacation spot. We love that we can walk to the village easily, take the kayaks out for a spin on the canal, and access the beaches with a short drive or walk. We plan to come back over and over.

Stylish Place to serve large family dinner

Short walks to Village and Beach, this large house gives each person their own space but has a large common area in which we cooked and served dinner for 12 family and friends several times in our week stay there. Most or all of the items downstairs were new due to repairs from hurricane damage including all new appliances and kitchen cabinets. Pool shape is stylish and entire back area around the pool is perfect for small or large gatherings. Could park 3 cars in driveway and one out front, so plenty of good parking.

Not really a castle!!

You could tell there was so much water damage from the hurricane that the flooring was rotted upstairs, so bad that there were gnats all over. Black mold in ceiling vents. Had to take shower curtain down because of black mold. Sand was all over furniture. The best part of the castle was its location. Would not rent here again.

Easy walk to Siesta Key Village

This property was very conveniently located to the Village. Our family enjoyed the lovely pool area and float toys. The home is dated but adequate for my family. It doesn't appear as clean as it could be because of it's age. Kitchen was well stocked with dishes pots and pans etc.

Wonderful Place

This is a perfect place to stay on Siesta Key. The space is great, the pool is great, all the beach and canal items (especially kayaks) were great. The location is fantastic. Easy walk to the food market, shops, and dining. Two beach accesses are walkable. Easy walk to the free shuttle service that takes you to any of the beaches on the key. The property's decor is what I would call a bit eclectic and my contractor friend might call some of the setup "unfinished" but to me the property was exactly what it needed to be down to the train table for little kids. Our kids (5-12yo) loved the foosball and the pool the most.

Perfect Location and so much room

I brought 7 teenagers down on Spring Break. My kids and friends. It was a great space as they all could have private rooms and pretty much bathrooms as well. It’s a perfect location- the market is just down the street for any groceries and forgotten items. And that’s the start of town as well. Walk to the beach was like 5-6 blocks. Just wonderful! And Don was great to work with.

Family vacation June 2023

The house fit our entire family of 12, with plenty of bathrooms and beds. the Pool was so nice and the kids loved fishing off the boat dock out back. We even had access to Kayaks for the older Boys to enjoy. The house was clean and neat with Plenty of towels for everyone. Very close walk to the village and the Neighborhood was very nice and quiet. communication from Don the owner was great! I read the other reviews and I don't believe they are accurate to this property.
