Unique private Canal home w/pool- walk to Village. Quiet Hours Observed

We had 10 people for 2 weeks and there was plenty of room for everyone to spread out. The heated pool and spa were used daily. The walkability was a huge plus. Being so close to restaurants, shopping and the beach was great. The house was clean and beds were comfortable. TV in every room. Don always responded quickly to messages. We have no complaints and would rent again in a heartbeat.

We had a great stay!!Don was great to work with!the pool heater gave out the first week but Don did his best to get it fixed as soon as he cud...the pool was fantastic the few days we used it then!the Blackstone grill was a highlight as well...it was so much fun cooking food on ther!!

Amenities, only one roll of toilet paper per bathroom. Only one roll of paper towels. Refrigerator smelled like fish. Ad said house had a gym it did not. Back deck was a disaster rotten wood peeling paint. There is alot more

Overall a nice place unfortunately it was very dirty there was sand in the one bed and a worm in a nother one the sheets didn’t not feel clean at all the house smelled like mold and it just was not clean at all, was very gross with tiny baby’s that want to crawl around it was not ideal, there was also nothing to sweep the floor with and the spoon draw was full of dirt so gross

This house was pretty perfect for our family. It did come with some flaws though. The entire main level appeared to be recently updated. The upstairs was not. It appears there has been some water damage in one of the king room bathrooms. The flooring was coming up and was unlevel, not something you’d want to walk around in barefoot. The mildew smell was so overpowering that we had to go and buy air fresheners to help mask the smell. Black mold was also present in this bathroom. The decking at the upper level is coming up and really not safe to walk on/use. Other than the items listed above and a few small things, we really enjoyed our stay. The backyard area is perfect and we spent a lot of time in the pool. Beds were comfortable. You cannot beat the location to the village and public beach accesses.

We really enjoyed the Castle on Siesta Key. All nine of us enjoyed the property and especially the private pool. The Castle was very clean and well kept. I highly recommend it.

Don was very responsive to our questions. Location was great due to the proximity of the Village and the beach.

We thoroughly enjoyed it. It was big enough for our family. The owner was great. Our grandson enjoyed fishing in the canal. It was overall a great time. The pool was used a lot.

You could tell there was so much water damage from the hurricane that the flooring was rotted upstairs, so bad that there were gnats all over. Black mold in ceiling vents. Had to take shower curtain down because of black mold. Sand was all over furniture. The best part of the castle was its location. Would not rent here again.

We vacation often in Siesta Key and I’m always looking for something on the canal with a pool and kayaks that is walking distance to the village and the beach. This checked all the boxes… 5 minute walk to the village and 10 minutes to the beach. The layout of the castle is unique but plenty spacious and clean. Don was a great host and we would stay there again.

Property was as advertised. Lots to do at the house, everything was clean and in good condition, and it was a great location. Lots of beach chairs, an umbrella, wagon, toys, etc were provided. We enjoyed kayaking the canal, trying to fish (caught a sting ray and that was it in the canal), pool and spa were great, walk to the beach wasn’t too bad, and location to restaurants and shopping were great. Would definitely stay again.

Came down for Spring Break. The weather and the beach were great! Had a great time!

We had a fantastic time

Short walks to Village and Beach, this large house gives each person their own space but has a large common area in which we cooked and served dinner for 12 family and friends several times in our week stay there. Most or all of the items downstairs were new due to repairs from hurricane damage including all new appliances and kitchen cabinets. Pool shape is stylish and entire back area around the pool is perfect for small or large gatherings. Could park 3 cars in driveway and one out front, so plenty of good parking.

Awesome plaxe to a family vacation.
