Super Close to Siesta Key

We thoroughly enjoyed our 10 day stay. Check-in was a breeze. Rental was clean and super close (3-5 minute drive) to the south bridge to the SK Island.Kitchen and bathroom updated/modern and the queen sized bed was very comfortable. Both TV's (LR & BR) brand new and of good size. We also enjoyed the quaint exterior patio for sun & drinks.Very conveniently located as well (Publix, Geckos bar/restaurant, Cafe Barbossa (Italian) and the slew of places in SK.

Sarasota getaway

The location was perfect-close to soccer fields for my daughter's tournament and minutes away from the beach and restaurants. There is a Publix within walking distance. The apartment was perfect for 2 guests, and it was equipped with everything you need.

Good but with some shortcomings.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay and the good outweighed the disappointing. It was conveniently located next to a shopping plaza and a short drive from Siesta Key Beach. The place was smaller than expected and the noise from Clark Road traffic was somewhat annoying. There were some issues with respect to grill, frying pan, and umbrella but the owner was responsive and took care of this.

Great location, spotless, has everything

I was in Sarasota for a friend's wedding, and always opt for a "non-hotel" option when travelling, so I have quite a bit of experience with rentals. This rental was neat as a pin and had everything, from a full sized ironing board (which I used quite a bit!), to a beach umbrella and cooler, to a lovely back patio with a fan for the bugs 😊 Checkin was seemless and communication was excellent. Personally I loved the location because it was central to where I needed to be, convenient to groceries, and I walked in the nearby park every morning. This is definitely an exceptional alternative to over-priced hotels and quite a value. Would highly recommend!

Warm getaway

We enjoyed our stay. This home is small, but very comfortable for two people. It is very clean and well equipped, conveniently located, especially to Siesta Key. Air conditioning units work well, we left the fan at night to serve as white noise to block the traffic sounds as the home is off a busy road. Also for some reason the queen bed is very high off the ground. It would definitely pose a problem for anyone with mobility issues to get in or out of bed.

Great rental all the way around!

Location was perfect within a few miles from the beaches, attractions, restaurants, groceries and shopping. Good size apartment with everything you need. We stayed there five nights my husband and I and found the environment very quiet. Kelly was very accommodating, she let us check out later, we needed more time to finish packing and leave the apartment like we found it. Jeanne & Joe

About the host

Hosted by Kelly

Hi...we are Kelly and Rick Oaks. We live in the eastern panhandle of West Virginia, but we LOVE Siesta Key Florida!!!!! We plan to retire to Florida someday, but in the meantime we will visit this beautiful piece of paradise. We have 2 wonderful boys, ages 25 and 23 who love Siesta Key beach also. Rick owns and operates his own cleaning/ fire/water restoration business and Kelly works from home with the rental properties.

Why they chose this property

It is perfect for 1-3 people with amenities near by and yet close enough to the beach to drive and be there in 6-7 minutes. A Beach trip without paying the high cost of beachfront prices.

What makes this property unique

Walk to the grocery store and restaurants.
