This is a beautiful house and the cleanest rental home I've ever rented. The location was very close to a beach access and a moderate walk to town. It's in wonderful spot and the outdoor landscaping was really pretty and tropical. I was not sure I would like the fact that the pool is not inside a lanai, but the pool was amazing and the screened in back porch was a comfy place to sit and look at the pool both day and night. The property management company was terrific and had excellent staff that took care of all our requests really fast. It feels like a resort - not a typical vrbo.

Everything for the most part was worth the value of renting this house. Ice maker was froze up. Maintenance was quick to repair. Strange that prior renters didn’t question this. The pool we also had issues multiple times but again the maintenance staff was quick to resolve. Enjoyed the house and its layout. TVs in some bedrooms had no access. Lucky we travel with Firesticks

The property itself is beautiful, well located in Siesta Key, and comfortable for a family. However, there are two issues future guests should know before booking.Undisclosed boat on the dock: The listing shows a dock but does not mention that the owner's private boat is permanently moored there. Upon arrival, our kids naturally went to explore the dock, and the next day we were told that the owner, through the dock's security camera, asked guests not to board the boat. A sign was then posted. A reasonable request, but it should be disclosed upfront so guests with young children can set expectations.Undisclosed camera covering guest areas: The camera monitoring the boat also captures the dock seating area used by guests. This was never disclosed at booking or check in. Guests have a reasonable expectation of privacy in outdoor relaxation spaces, and we think this should be addressed at the listing level.On the operational side, the pool was left full of debris after Thursday's landscaping visit and was not serviced on Friday as expected. We followed up directly, and the team responded quickly and resolved it the next day.Overall: a beautiful property let down by disclosure gaps, though the team is responsive when issues are raised.
Hi Leopoldo,
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughtful feedback. We’re pleased to hear you enjoyed the home, its convenient location, and that our team was able to respond quickly when the pool required additional attention.
We sincerely apologize that the dock and security camera came as a surprise during your stay. We completely understand how that could have made you feel uncomfortable, and we’re sorry that this information was not clearly communicated before your arrival. Based on feedback like yours, we have updated our listing to clearly disclose that the owner's boat is moored at the dock and that the security camera monitors the boat and dock area. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, as it has helped us improve the information we provide to future guests.
Thank you again for your valuable feedback and for choosing to stay with us. We’re grateful for the opportunity to host you and wish you all the best in your future travels.
Warm regards,
Guest Services Team

We love that this house was great for family and friends! This home provides joy to all its guests. Didn't you love the pergola just off the pool? It's one of our favorite spots at the home! Until next time, #CottageOn!

My family and I stayed at the house for a week. The house was wonderful! It was clean, spacious, and very well stocked (kitchen, beach & pool supplies, bikes, kayaks, etc.). The location was perfect (close the beach and to village). We highly recommend this house!!

A great week at the beach with our adult children. Loved riding bikes around the neighborhood and to the village. Brought our boat for sunset cruising and night fishing. Found amazing homemade popsicles at the little grocery store. Loved the honeysuckle smell out by the pool.

Have been renting the same house in Sanibel Island for 27 years. Hurricane Ian made us look for something new. Siesta Key had a lot to live up to, but it did. Isla Amor is a beautiful house in a wonderful location. It lived up to it’s billing.

A fabulous beach vacation home. Beyond expectation
This beach home is exquisitely decorated. You feel very much at home. It was sparkling clean with a modern beach decore. It has a spacious kitchen, dining and great room on the first floor. All open with high ceilings for great gathering and relaxing. The back yard is on the canal with a small heated pool, just perfect for cooling off or relaxing. There is also a big screened in porch. It is only three blocks from the beach, just a 5-8 minute walk. It is also just less than a 1/2 mile to the Village, also an easy walk. We had a fabulous family reunion, way beyond our expectations. The five bedrooms can easily accommodate the biggest family. I would give it six stars if I could.
Thank you so much for your review of Isla Amor! We are thrilled you enjoyed the home for your family reunion, from the decor and cleanliness to the backyard amenities. We look forward to hosting your stay again in the future! Until next time, #CottageOn!

We had a great time at Isla Amor. The house is as beautiful as the pictures. Kitchen is stocked with anything you would need. Great location, lovely quiet neighborhood. Short walk to the beach and to the Village. Was with Family 8 adults and 2 4yr olds and 2 toddlers. I rented cribs for the little ones. That worked out perfect. The kids had a blast. Loved the pool. Plenty of pool toys, beach chairs and a wagon. I left behind 2 baby gates. They helped with keeping the little ones off the stairs. There also is a pack and play available if needed. We highly recommend this property. We were so sad leaving. Was first time in Siesta Key but not our last.
Hi Mary

The house was gorgeous, and stocked with everything we needed for cooking and relaxing. The pool area was also thoughtfully designed. The location was a short walk to the beach, and a cart, beach chairs, cooler, and beach toys were provided. Bikes were also provided, which we used often. We hope to return someday!
My family and I had a great stay. The house was very well cleaned prior to arrival. We were greeted with personalized cupcakes which was a nice touch. The house was fully stocked as far as beach towels, bath towels, kitchen, etc. They had kayaks and bikes to use. There was workout equipment in the garage. My daughter bought a pack and play and left it at the house. There were pool toys, beach toys, and beach chairs. The walk to the beach was about 10 minutes but the house came with a nice beach cart and wagon which was great for hauling my 2 small grandchildren. The pool was lovely and clean. My family and I would highly recommend this house. We love siesta and this location is a close walk to the village.
We just loved our stay at Isla Amor. The owners thought of everything one could ever need on vacation. We enjoyed the exterior area the most, with the beautiful pool down by the dock. It was a peaceful setting. Yet we were in the heart of it all on Siesta Key. The location was close to the village and the best beach on earth! Thank you so much, we plan on returning next year!
Gianna,
