Enjoy easy living and carefree days on Siesta Key! This modern bungalow is steps away from the private, deep, white sand beach of Aloha Kai and the only solar-heated, Olympic-sized pool on the Key. Have your morning coffee or afternoon cocktails on the airy lanai or relax in the bright mid-century modern living area with its shiny, original terrazzo flooring and pristine furnishings. There is a playful nod to the mid-1960's, when this bungalow was built. A backyard patio with new pavers, furnishings, and grill provides a private outdoor entertaining space. This fresh and inviting bungalow has several return guests who enjoy the dining, shopping, and entertainment in the nearby Village and across the drawbridge in Sarasota. You won't share any walls with neighbors and you can drive right up to your front door. The gleaming bathroom and kitchen are fully updated.

Very cute, clean and nicely decorated mid century style bungalow. The place had everything you could need to be comfortable, only thing we had to buy was food. 5 minute walk to the beautiful private beach and steps away from pool. Short distance to restaurants. We loved our stay and will definitely be back.
Property had been flood damaged and was still under construction, uninhabitable when we arrived and walked in.They took my money, gave me access codes, and have not fully refunded the full amount we paid for a place we could not stay in.
Best vrbo booking we've had!! The bungalow was clean and had everything we needed and more. I highly recommend staying here if you're planning a vacation in Siesta Key.
We stayed for 5 nights and the cottage was perfect!! Close to the pool & beach. Loved the “extra’s”, such as lounge chairs at the beach, shampoo, conditioner, lotion etc. we are already planning our trip back next year. We felt right at home :)
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cute cottage. We loved the comfortable furniture, fully stocked kitchen, color scheme and decor. The closeness to the beach was amazing! The Breeze trolley stop is right across the street. We would definitely love to return!
We loved this property. It was very nicely decorated and cozy, very clean, and had lots of amenities. The location was perfect to easily walk to the beach, and bike or trolley to shopping, restaurants, and other popular sites. We highly recommend!
Quick get away to this wonderful rental. The home is beautifully decorated and fully stocked with everything you could possibly need for a beach get away. Clean, quaint and LOVE the terrazzo floors!!! You will not find a better place to stay in Siesta Key!! We will definitely be back!!
We stayed for two weeks and were very pleased. Great location on an incredible beach. Very short walk to the private beach with chairs provided. We also walked daily to Siesta Village. Free Trolley stops directly in front of the property. The condo was clean, well stocked with essentials and great communication with owner and property manager. We would recommend and definitely return.
This place was perfect for my husband and me. It had everything we needed to make dinner and breakfast. Very clean and well designed. I loved all the small touches!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The place was clean and provided all the essentials. Jennifer was a joy! She made sure we had enough towels or anything else we might have needed. Definitely a well run property. The beach was beautiful and the pool was huge and both just steps away from the place. The trolley made getting around the island a breeze. We would definitely recommend this property. Thank you!
My husband & I stayed in this retro Florida cottage for a week. It’s only a short walk to the water, even closer to pool & laundry. Only thing missing we needed was a sun umbrella & noodles so we bought them but couldn’t take them home on the airplane so we left them behind for the next guests to enjoy. The parasailing was great & we enjoyed Olaf’s ice cream & the Daiquiri Deck. A nice place to relax & enjoy sun/sand!
When we first arrived the unit had not been cleaned and the was an issue with the TV. Dionne responded to our call within minutes and took care of everything right away. Couldn’t ask for better service. The furnishings were very comfortable and the cottage was decorated very nicely. We loved our stay and tried to book next year but unfortunately someone beat us to it.
We stayed six nights in August 2020. Our visit was VERY “last minute;” we booked at 9:00 one evening and arrived at noon the following, day. The owner was very responsive, especially considering our last minute booking. After our arrival, she responded immediately to questions (e.g.- how do we access the pool gates?) The cottage was very well cleaned, as pictured and was ready shortly after our arrival. We found the cottage to be updated, well equipped with dishes, blender etc. AND with everything we required to venture out: Beach chair, umbrella, small cooler, beach towels ... even a small Bluetooth speaker which we enjoyed listening to music (with a considerate volume) by the pool. We found the pool and the entire complex to be well maintained. The property is located mid Crescent Beach. The beach is a very short walk. We appreciated that the beach in front of our place was less crowded than other areas ... there are two small pavilions and plenty of lounge chairs. Not sure how many times we commented to each other as we walked down the beach past the high rises how glad we were to be in our place! If you are a couple and looking to avoid the high rise crowds and enjoy some “old Florida” feel this is a great option for you.
Stroll out the door of your private, beautifully furnished cottage and across one of the country’s (if not the worlds) most unique beach into the clear, refreshing gulf water. Relax in a provided lounge chairs or head back to the heated pool. A great place to enjoy all Siesta Key has to offer.
We had a amazing stay, the cottage was perfect for us. A short walk to a beautiful beach in which we could relax, swim and enjoy the beautiful views. Property management was extra helpful and responded promptly to any questions asked. We would definitely recommend saying here and would stay again ourselves.
This is a great property with easy access to the beach. The aloha Kai community is quiet, clean, and very family friendly. The property comes with everything you need for the beach. The owner and property manager were more than accommodating and helped us with what we needed. I would recommend a stay here anytime!
Lovely unit, had everything we needed, close to beach, and just steps from the pool. The patio table outside was great for evenings. We would definitely itelt recommend, and stay there again!
Everything was overall good, had a glitch getting in. Just for your info, I think you need a new alarm clock in the bedroom, we couldn't set the time on it. I did forget my wireless charger there, any way to get it mailed to me?
This condo at Aloha Kai is perfect. So cute and so clean. The neighborhood is nice and was really quiet. The Pool was amazing! Again so clean. I have never seen such a beautiful beach. We plan on staying here again.

Great Location, Great Value, Lots of Fun. Will do it again!!!
Great location and very clean. Nice touches throughout the house and everything was thought of for a beach location. My wife and I enjoyed it immensely and we were so close to everything we wanted to do. The large pool, shuffleboard, closeness to the beach, all of it was wonderful. l
