Great Family Vacation

We enjoyed our stay in Siesta key. The location was great - easy to get to the beach (tons of free parking) and easy to get off the island. The owner was super fast on all communication. Home was exactly as represented and perfect for our small family.

About the host

Hosted by Julie

Host profile image
I'm a wife, mother to three boys and work as a registered school nurse. We are a very active family and enjoy traveling, hiking, skiing, boating, cycling and kayaking. We fell in love with Siesta Key many years ago and have always dreamed of owning a property here. I'm very excited to share our home with other travelers and expose them to all the area has to offer.

Why they chose this property

We absolutely fell in love with the house, the neighborhood and proximity to the beach and village. This house has enough room to accommodate our family, without feeling like it's too much. For us, the size and location are just perfect. Let's not forget about the pool and the weather in Florida, need I say more?

What makes this property unique

When you enter the house, you have a clear line of sight to the pool area/yard. The wall-to-wall sliders open up, allowing you to enjoy indoor/outdoor living. A unique office space, that allows you to enjoy the view outside while taking care of business. Location, location, location. Being tucked away in a quiet residential neighborhood with close proximity to Siesta Key beach and village, not to mention downtown Sarasota offers you the best of everything.
