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

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.

The location of this property is perfect for walking to all the action on the Main Street. The home has everything you need to enjoy your stay. There is too much to do for only one week!
