Moomist Villa is an idyllic setting to relax and rewind. It is located within Polynesian Gardens across the street from beautiful Siesta Key beach (Number 1 on the list of Top 10 most beautiful beaches in the USA). Out the front door you have a “peek-a-boo” view of the bay with boats cruising by. Out the back sliding doors you look on an ancient oak covered with resurrection fern, orchids & bromeliads & a jungle of tropical flora.
When you walk in the front door youwill be captivated by the arched ceiling painted to look like the sky. The living room is charming & tropical, the sun porch/TV room is comfy and cozy . The kitchen is properly “beachy” with open shelves & bamboo countertops. The master bedroom with a king bed & wicker chests is a sanctuary ala Tommy Bahama style. The second bedroom has twin beds and is bright & Floridian.

    First, the location is QUIET!This rental is very large, with rooms separated by sliding glass doors, so you can section off the rooms if needed.The kitchen is stocked with cooking pans, plates, glasses, and other essentials. The countertops are wood finished in a light varnish, so be careful.We did have a plumbing problem when we were there. Jeannette did her best to get someone there to fix the issue as soon as possible.Overall, we enjoyed our stay for about a month walking Siesta Key beach, bicycle riding on the island / Legacy trail, and watching spectacular sunsets.This is a great place to recover and rest!Thank you, Callie and John

    This is the cleanest VRBO I've experienced. We would definitely stay here for a long term snow-bird retreat. This is more a home (a nice home at that!) than it is a beach place. There is nothing plastic about the furnishings or decorations and there is no tacky, cheap stuff to make it someone's idea of a beach place. On the quirky side, you can be entertained for a couple days just figuring out the light switches.

    Manager needs to clean better. Smell of mold in the living room. Bugs in the bath room. Twin beds need new mattresses. The location was beautiful

    we enjoyed our time the hot tub never worked even thou it was worked on several time, quiet and lots of jungle. Furniture could use some updating. Lots of space.

    When we walked into the Villa, it was larger than expected! I loved all the rooms and the well-thought-out placement of furniture and decor. I also loved the variety of unique artworks and antique items on display. I actually felt right at home! We plan to book our next stay very soon at Moonmist and are looking forward to it!

    We enjoyed our stay at Moonmist. Close to the Crescent beach access and shops or a short trolley ride to Siesta Beach. The pool was great. The host was very responsive and helpful during our stay.

    Moonmist is charming. The interior is a bit dated and needs a bit of maintenance attention. Nothing major - location is great - nice pier to sit at and neighbors are nice. Close to the Trolley so easy access to beaches.

    Very comfortable, peaceful and lovely landscaping. The pool area was beautiful also. Centrally located to both Siesta and Turtle Beach! My granddaughter and I thoroughly enjoyed staying at the property!
