Siesta Key Oceanfront Palace with Private Beach

The host was very accommodating and very responsive to anything we needed!! We had a great stay!

We loved this house. Great location. The views are amazing. The backyard is like a colorful painting. Awesome views of the ocean and a pool with a water slide. There is charter fishing right down the road. We ended all nights by watching a movie in the theater room, which was very easy to use. The house manager was very receptive when we had questions. We will try and get back for sure. The only bad thing I can say is that it was hard to leave when our vacation was over!

Super home in Siesta Key. Beautifully decorated and very well stocked. The master bedroom was incredible. Beautiful pool area overlooking the water. Stunning residence.

The property is impressive. The pool / grotto/hotub area is a highlight. Plenty of space for our party of nine. The property is not exceptionally handicap accessible but we knew that before we booked it. Otherwise, it was fantastic.

Our stay in October 2023 at this property was, unfortunately, a major disappointment. The initial interactions with Katy were pleasant, but things quickly took a turn for the worse. We were soon passed off to her husband, Jim, who manages the account. This handoff was just the beginning of our frustrations. The house was in a state of disrepair with many broken items and unusable kitchen pans. The overall condition of the property interfered significantly with our experience, making us feel more like property managers than guests trying to enjoy time with family. We were promised a refund for the pet fee (despite having no pets) and a one-night refund for the numerous inconveniences. However, these promises came with a condition: we would only receive our refund if we refrained from posting a negative review. Despite escalating the issue with VRBO, we received no satisfactory resolution, and the host remained unhelpful. The hosts, who are realtors in the market, seemed more interested in justifying the worn condition of the house by emphasizing that the nightly rate was a deal. This justification is unacceptable, as every guest deserves a well-maintained property regardless of the rate. Overall, this experience was highly disappointing, and we expected better care and responsiveness from hosts who are professionals in the real estate market.

The house was spectacular and the sunsets were perfect. We just hung out at the house and enjoyed our long weekend. Would definitely stay here again!

The location and the home are wonderful. There were some bugs in the electronic systems of the house. AC was challenged, but fixable. Had a lot of folks working in the house during the stay to get systems fixed. Sometimes the contractors were unannounced.

This is a really pretty place overall. The sunsets were beautiful. We enjoyed watching the boats go by. Our kids enjoyed the upper pool, pool slide and game room. The beds are super comfortable. The bedrooms are separated by a good amount of space making them very private. We thoroughly enjoyed the grill and the table out on the lanai. We were a little disappointed with some maintenance issues. Part of the pool (the lower section) wasn't working when we arrived. There were lots of leaves in the pool and were instructed to use the pool cleaner (which did not work either). The property manager did send someone to try to fix the pool. The grounds could have been cleaner (mop bucket full to the top with black water left on side of house) and things weren't completely picked up after the last guest. Items were found in the bushes and along the fence line. One of the dishwashers needed to be secured. Some of the bathrooms were dark due to light bulbs not working. One of the recliners facing the TV in the main living room area tilted off to the side when it was reclined. Based on the photos, we expected a little bit of a beach, but there wasn't any type of beach while we were there. Maybe this varies due to time of the year (we were there in July). For $3500 a night, we did expect a little more care of the premises or at least notification in advance of the issues with the pool. Our family still had a good time together.

My family had the most wonderful time. No need to leave the property.
