Welcome to Your Ideal Getaway in Gulf Gate – Just 2 Miles from Siesta Key

Nestled in the highly desirable Gulf Gate neighborhood, this thoughtfully appointed 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offers the perfect blend of comfort, style, and convenience—just minutes from the world-renowned Siesta Key Beach. Whether you're planning a relaxing escape or a family adventure, this home is designed to turn your time into lasting memories.

The open-concept layout features a modern kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. The spacious primary bedroom includes a king-size bed and a private ensuite bathroom, while two guest bedrooms offer queen-size beds. For a seventh guest, there is a queen sofa bed in the laundry area that we are happy to have made up.

Step outside through the sliding patio doors to discover a serene, fully enclosed backyard with a private pool—ideal for sunbathing, dining al fresco, or entertaining. While the pool is not heated, it will be much cooler between November and April.

If work calls while you're away, you'll appreciate the large, height adjustable desk.

This pet-friendly property includes a fully fenced yard, so your four-legged family members are welcome too. Should you have any specific needs or questions during your stay, we’re local to Sarasota and available to respond promptly—we’re here to help ensure your experience exceeds expectations.

    Chris was a very attentive and gracious host! The house was beautiful and perfect for our family’s visit to Sarasota. We enjoyed using the indoor and outdoor living spaces. The home’s location was perfect for visiting Siesta Key and downtown Sarasota.

    We enjoyed our time at the Gecko house. The pool was wonderful and our dogs enjoyed the fenced yard. The neighborhood was quiet and the location was great! Chris was available for any questions we had and was very accommodating.

    Fantastic base for our 2 weeks summer break in beautiful Siesta Key and Sarasota. The house is very well presented and fully equipped, including beach chairs, parasol, trolley, BBQ, towels and even two push bikes. More than enough space for the four of us to spread out and relax. The beds were particularly comfortable. The stunning beaches of Siesta are just a few minutes away by car. (Free parking at the beach too - unheard of in the UK!) Chris and Clare were always on hand to answer any questions. Thanks

    We had a great time at this property. One minor issue while there and the hosts went out of their way to correct it and were gracious after it was fixed! We would love to stay here again. The beds were comfy and the house had everything we could have ever needed. The pool was wonderful. 5 STARS!

    This was a dream vacation for my family! We've waited years for this and it exceeded our expectations in every single way. Could't have worked out better for 5 adults and 1 teen plus one little dog. Beautiful property inside and out and perfect location. Can't wait to go back and would absolutely stay in the same house! Perfect location for absolutely everything!! 5 stars all the way thank you so much for helping make our dreams come true. Priceless memories for all of us....my 83 year old parents had a blast too and as experienced traveler's were super impressed!!

    This was a great week for us. We're in Sarasota several times a year, and this house is in the top 5. Great location and nice to have beach chairs and bikes. Great host and responded quickly to our questions. We love to cook, and the kitchen had everything we needed and then some. Love that the kitchen is a part of the space so cooks could be a part of all activities and watch movies with family while prepping food.

    This was our first visit to Sarasota and wanted to be near siesta key and surrounding beaches. Pool house paradise met our expectations and more. We were no more then 20 minutes from many beaches. Supermarket and stores nearby and Chris was an amazing host, we didn’t have enough towels for our family of six so he ran out that same day to pick some up for us. The beach chairs that he provided broke while we were at the beach and the next day he had 3 brand new chairs at the front door. He also bought a stand up fan for me because I am always hot and my house is like s meat locker at home ?. I can’t say enough great things. I will definitely stay at property that Chris snd his wife have. Amazing experience!
