A GEM-Beach Cottage 4 BR,Heated Pool on Canal, 1 Block To Village, Walk to Beach

Location was really close to bars and restaurants. The house was exactly as described.

We loved how walkable the property was. The heated pool and lanai were a bonus. Comfortable beds and provided everything we needed for our stay.

In terms of everything you would want in a rental, this is absolutely perfect. The house itself has been completely redone inside after the two hurricanes that hit Sarasota last year. Every article of furniture, every appliance in the kitchen, have been replaced with the highest quality, and this includes resurfacing the pool and a new pool heater. The rooms are of ample size, each with a TV, and the space is well-suited to a family, of 7, as was ours. Best of all, the house is a five minute walk to Siesta Village, with multiple restaurants and shops, and a large supermarket, and the beach, often voted the best beach in the US, is a ten minute walk away. Best of all, the owner, Tim, is always available and ready to provide whatever is necessary to make sure that your vacation is a perfect one. I recommend this lovely home without reservation, and this incudes the cost, which is one of the best deals on Siesta Key. My recommendation: if your dates are available, grab it before someone else inevitably does.

The home is nice and offers nice space for us. Kitchen had everything except mood machine :) Bedrooms are as described and comfortable. The pool is a great size for Siesta Key. Many extra things in garage for enjoying outside!! Any bumps and the owner was on it!!!

Our stay was not the sunshine vacation that I was hoping for. Instead, our time there was a bit dreary, weather wise. The house itself was perfectly adequate but, the location to shops and restaurants was fabulous. Easy walk to food, drink and stores.

Having a heated pool and a great beach is heaven. Our 8 year grand daughter said this house is the best place ever.

We are a family of 4, Mum, Dad and 2 teenagers and the house worked for us perfectly. There was everything we needed for our stay, including all beach equipment, WiFi, Netflix, etc. The location is superb, close to shops, restaurants and the beach but in a lovely quiet side road. Our favourite bit was the pool, we loved hanging out there! Didn’t get much luck seeing wildlife in the canal (although we were there at the hottest time of the year) but we were excited by the geckos (not seen in the uk) ?. The instructions for the house are all clearly detailed in the folder which was very helpful. Great communications from Tim, even when I just needed to read the folder to get the answer!!! Great time, thoroughly recommend the house and the area. Thanks Tim

Loved the pool, property is a bit dated, but that's understandable with a lot of older rentals. What needs to definitely be replaced is the queen mattress on the main floor's bedroom. We did not sleep in the master bdrm, as there was a spiral staircase made of metal and we were afraid we might injure ourselves since we are an older couple. But the queen mattress was like sleeping on a plywood board. Hopefully that will get updated. Otherwise, mgmt company responded very quickly to a few minor fixes. Would definitely rent again, if the mattress is replaced. Pool was great!

We enjoyed a beautiful two week stay at this well-situated home on Siesta Key! The location is just right for walking in to the village for drinks, dinner, ice cream, sight-seeing, and shopping ... also a short walk to the gorgeous Siesta Key Beach! Even though you are so close to town, the home is on a quiet street and feels very private, which is so nice when you want to relax and get away from the bustle of the village. Inside the home you'll find four very neat bedrooms and three full bathrooms which were perfect for our group of adults and small children. The kitchen is well equipped with every gadget you'd need to prep dinner or snacks ~ but it's so fun to walk in to town and experience the many great restaurants! The screened in lanai just off the pool area is lovely to relax and read your book when you want to get out of the sun ... and the built-in pool was the MOST entertaining, especially for our three toddler grandkids who giggled and splashed in it every day. We also enjoyed watching the local wildlife just off the pool deck ... gorgeous herons and egrets waited for their dinner while the fish jumped - so fun to see! This location on Siesta Key is great for all ages, and our family would highly recommend it ~ we will be back for sure!!

If you want to be able to walk to everything this is the place to stay.
