Idyllic Casey Key Beach House

One of the best vacations we have ever had !Beautiful house, incredible views and truly wonderful hosts.Everything you could possibly need is there, from a stocked fridge to kayaks and bug spray, not forgetting a full pantry of food !We will definitely be back !

This property is incredibly private with no public beach or public access around. We arrived and the house was completely stocked even with an inviting lunch and wine. There were many comfortable spaces to relax inside and outside. The beds were comfortable, the towels were thick. Once we figured out to time our swims during high tide when the rocks were covered and hunt for shells and shark teeth during low tides, we had it made. The outdoor shower was excellent for getting sand off of you before coming back inside. Frank was an attentive host and kept in communication throughout our stay. And boy were the sunsets incredible. Can’t wait to return!

Beautiful private beach the views were amazing from the patio and inside the house whether you were waking up, eating at the table, lounging on couch or cooking. House very well stocked and all you needed for preparing meals. Great little nooks for reading or just relaxing in the house. Comfortable mattress, the towels super soft thick and wonderful. The outdoor shower was amazing to rinse off and the hot tub was welcome for the late evenings after super. We saw dolphins daily and the first vacation where we never left the house except a grocery store stop which was less than a mile and to eat out once at nearby .4 miles Casey Key restaurant. Host had everything prepared and a wonderful meal when we got there with fresh homemade sourdough my favorite bread, fresh flowers and a lovely welcome. Definitely a vacation spot worth revisiting. Host was attentive and made sure everything was in working order. 10 out of 10 vacation spot.

Five of us -- my wife, our two young adult offspring, and son-in-law -- spent 9 wonderful days at Casey Key to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary. The beachfront property is open, homey, and comfortable. The beach itself is very isolated and the ocean mesmerizing. Sunsets are a treat! Dolphins were seen as were pipers, egrets, and pelicans. There are many wonderful restaurant and take out options nearby, as well as grocery options. We all had a wonderful and restful time and look forward to returning next year!

Overballba very enjoyable stay. The chicken salad and bread was a distinctive plus, Thanks. The stocked refrigerator also very nice! As discussed with the host, the outside grill was not clean and very rusty. Pool appeared very cloudy, and there were questions around heating cost? Took us awhile to figure out the TV, too many remotes. Some place mats, trays and small outside tables would be a good addition. The location was terrific, the beach nice, albaeit a little rocky for swimming and a bit cold. Great sunsets!!! Well stocked kitchen. Overall a great visit and with these minor fixes would come again, in March next time.

Property has an amazing location near the Casey Key Fish Restaurant (also with great tiki bar & boat rental / boat taxi service). Whilst old and only maintained to a basic / old fashioned level, it is nice 3 bed place with a small pool and everything that you need including groceries, towels, toys for kids, games etc (washer/dryer/fridge/dishwasher) etc all new. The main reason we picked the house was to enjoy the private beach that is around 800 ft long and only used by 3 or 4 houses. Otherwise the high price (over 750 a day in peak) wouldn't make sense for an old unstylish house. Unfortunately we had a significant red ride effect whilst we were there with 50-100 dead fish being washed up on the beach each day and one rough sea day with 300+ dead fish covering the beach. The sea removed the 50-100 dead fish but not the other fish, so that after a couple of days there were rotting fish all with the associated problems (terrible smell, flies, scavenger animals etc). We didn't get any help from the home-owner, so we had to clean up the rotting fish ourselves because the smell was so bad, plus the associated risks to our kids especially our 18 month year old. The home-owner was nice but a little intrusive, coming by too many times, and we were expected to do our own pool servicing, accommodate him showing prospective renters around, & have construction during our stay. Also owner reengaged on pre-arranged late checkout & tried to circumvent vrbo and add extra fees etc

An absolutely fantastic home with everything we could have asked for in a tropical getaway. Wake up in the morning to spectacular Gulf views. Spend days swimming, sunning, fishing. or just sitting on the sun deck watching the dolphins and the waves. Everything you need for all the above is here. Chairs, umbrellas, towels. If the sun gets to be a bit much, head back to the house, dip in the pool, cool off, enjoy a late afternoon margarita, and wait on the sunset. The home is beautifully appointed, with with top shelf appliances. Frank is an amazing host, always available. We had high expectations based on the pictures and conversations with Frank but all expectations were exceeded. Of note, the house and refrigerator were stocked with food and drinks, and Frank and Carla left a welcome bottle of wine with flowers on the dining table. There are several restaurants and Tiki bar in very short walking distance but this home is located within easy driving distance of attractions in Venice and Sarasota...without the congested feel of Lido or Siesta Key. We would never stay anywhere else in this area. My dad's birthday was the reason multiple family members gathered in the area. All who visited this spectacular home were wowed by the house layout and the beautiful private beach 25 steps from your patio door. We look forward to the opportunity to return. We can't thank you enough Frank.

This was a dream vacation for our family, and we will cherish the memories forever. The owner of the property, Frank, was the most hospitable, and genuine host we’ve ever met. He made certain we had everything we could have ever needed and then some. The property is located in a very quiet neighborhood, and is absolutely stunning inside and out. Frank treated us just like family, and we can’t wait to come back and visit again! Thank you for an unforgettable trip, sir! Adam, Katie, Ava, Khloe and Nora

We have stayed at few places before, but this property beats them all. It was exactly what we were looking for. House is located on a quiet street with heated pool and a private beach. Sunsets were to die for and dolphin sightings were frequent. It is in a short walking distance to nearest restaurant with fresh seafood and short drive to closest stores. Hosts went above and beyond when preparing for our stay. Kitchen was fully stacked with anything you could imagine and much more. We felt like at home from the first moment we stepped inside. Owners were super nice, friendly and available to answer any questions we had. We hope to be back in nearest future. Thank you for sharing this incredible place with our family.

The location was great the home and property very lovely and very private. We enjoyed the beach! Loved the access to local restaurants! Casey Key is a lovely and very interesting area! Our hosts were very attentive, responsive and flexible. We hope to stay there again!
