Amazing stay

Staying at this property made our trip so much better. It was an ideal location being just a bike ride away from the beach. I stayed with 4 of my friends and we had plenty of enough space. The hosts made sure we had a smooth check in and an easy to understand check out process. I highly recommend and would stay again.

Family Trip to Sarasota / Siesta Key

We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home! It was extremely clean, well organized and updated. I'll be honest the main reason I booked is because it is family owned and that gave me comfort in knowing that we would be taken care of. And we were. This home is bigger than the pictures show! It was a treat to use the awesome walk in closet! There was plenty of space to lounge and relax! Only 1 TV for those who need separate viewing areas. Loved the large island in the kitchen and it had everything we needed (minus a rolling pin for making pizza dough :)) It was in the perfect location in a quiet neighborhood; just a few miles from Siesta Key beach. I was able to take long morning walks to the beach. Truly a perfect vacation spot for my family. Thank you, owners!

Fabulous home!

We were attending a wedding in Siesta Key and were so pleased we booked this gem. The location was perfect. The house was extremely spacious and worked well for our family. The owners checked in with us throughout our stay to see if we needed anything. We had a wonderful stay. I highly recommend renting this house for your stay in the Sarasota area.

Bike to Siesta Key

The house was in great condition and the owners were great to work with, answered questions promptly. We rented bikes for the week, which was great! We could bike the neighborhood, found a farmer's market in the local park and easily bike to Siesta Key and the beach. We had a great time.

The neighborhood is safe and quiet and it's just about 3 miles to public parking at Siesta key beach. The house is very clean and attractive....the kitchen just beautifully remodeled.

Perfect location..fabulous house and tremendous welcoming host.

What a great experience from start to finish. David went above and beyond to meet our every need with a disabled husband needing special attention to cleanliness. Wonderful house in a quiet neighborhood with use of bicycles to get us to the park with kids and to the gorgeous beach nearby. When you choose this house every need is met for a terrific stay. Special memories made all because of these superhosts.

About the host

Hosted by molly jackson

Host profile image
David and Molly Jackson have owned the property for 25 years and prior to that, it was owned by Molly's mother and grandmother. They are local business owners and adore living in Sarasota with their 4 children. 1747 Meadowood is the home Molly was raised in during her high school and college years.

Why they chose this property

If you want space and being close to the beach, this house is for you!
We are REALLY flexible with how much of the house you occupy too. Rent the main house, or the guest house or both. We are local and own 5 retail stores, so we LOVE to cater to customers for the best experience possible.

What makes this property unique

Only 2 miles to the Siesta Key South Bridge, which is just steps away to accessing Siesta Key Beach at the beach access across from the Siesta Market.
