Summer’24

What a super vacation spot! The home had everything we expected and more. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the right tools. Cooking was so easy and convenient. The entire place was clean and in working order. Thank you for providing such wonderful accommodations at a great price! Siesta Key was a real treat.

Love our stay at Island Breeze

We had a great time staying in Jim's house. The house has a short walk to the village and has short walk to beach. The house has a great beach theme. The house had all the beach gear we needed, chairs, cooler, umbrella, boogie board and sand castle toys for the kids. We would highly recommend staying here.

Great Siesta Key rental; cozy, clean, and convenient. The owner Jim was very helpful.

Rental really has all you need...for cooking, entertaining, and beach trips. Great Siesta Key value. I wish I trusted other reviews, and we would have not brought chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, etc... Also, thanks Jim for the updates on the constantly changing weather conditions while we were there.

First family vacation

We were so sad to leave! This was our very first family vacation with our 3 year old and 11 month old, Jim was so accommodating!! He had awesome recommendations for the family and his property offered everything that you could possibly need for your stay! The location is PERFECT. We loved going to the beach daily and just being minutes away from town and the beach. Jim was the perfect host, we appreciate his kindness and going above and beyond. I’d book any of his locations again in a heartbeat!

Wonderful house in paradise!

This house was everything it stated it was, we were not disappointed! Clean, well-maintained, good-size bedrooms, sunny lanai with a large backyard on a quiet street. Although it might look small on the outside it is a spacious 2-bedroom on the inside! Location is perfect, a short walk to the village and beach. Added bonus a dock across the street to enjoy while watching the fish jump! The owner Jim is very helpful and responsive--a delight! Total relaxation and did not have to worry about anything! Highly recommend!

Quaint little cottage

My husband, myself and oldest son visited for a week. The place is so cute, fully stocked and close proximity to everything. Met the owner and he was very nice and humble with a little twist of humor 😊 We ventured all around Siestsa Key and Sarasota. We Shopped, went to the beaches, watched the sunrise and sunset, went shell hunting and ate at many wonderful little restaurants. We took many walks through the neighborhood and all over the area. Had a spectacular time!!! Can’t wait to do it all over again!! The cottage was a great place to stay!! The owner is top notch!!

Best of Both Worlds

This was a great place with perfect location. Close enough to walk to all the action at the beach and the North Village restaurants and bars but far enough away to have a quiet space to relax. Jim was great the whole time with communication, even let us know if wanted to get in a day earlier that it was available. He also alerted us to some clothes we left behind after checkout so we could swing back to pick them up. He was top notch. This place is perfect for 2-4 people. It looks small from the outside but there is plenty of room to spread out with the living room, kitchen and dining area. We were also very impressed with the nice outdoor patio area. There were many beach items available at the house that we took advantage of and used to get down to the beach (carts, chairs, 2 umbrellas, coolers, etc…). Would definitely stay at this place again.

The perfekt cottage for a wonderful and relaxing vacation!

Our stay on Siesta Key was wonderful! The cottage was very clean. It is furnished with love and offers everything you could wish for. Stuff for beach visits and even a grill can be used. Our host was also very friendly and accommodating. His tips are great! We would come back anytime. Unser aufenthalt auf Siesta key war wunderschön. Das Ferienhaus war sehr sauber. Es ist mit viel liebe eingerichtet und bietet alles, was man sich wünschen kann. Sachen für Strandbesuche und sogar ein Grill können genutzt werden. Unser Gastgeber war außerdem sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Seine Tipps sind super! Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen.

Excellent location

We really enjoyed our time at “Island Breeze”. The owner even called us the day we were due to arrive to tell us we could check in early if we wanted to since the place was cleaned! We ended up getting there kind of late & were confused about the lock combo so we called Jim. He called us right back & explained. This rental is an easy walk to the village & the beach. All in all a very enjoyable stay.

Florida in November is the best!

Picked this location because we wanted to walk everywhere. Great location for the Public Beach and the Village. Just don’t break your foot before you go, it really puts a damper on getting around. The house was very spacious with anything you could need. The only complaint would be the house had an odor that wasn’t too pleasant. With that said we would come back again. Florida in November is awesome!!! Just don’t tell anyone that.

Great location!

Amazing location. We brought our bikes and didn't get in the car unless we were leaving the island or dressed up for dinner. Everything is close, the market, beach and village with lots of shops, restaurants and bars. Beach Access #7 was our go to but 5 is close too. Sunsets on the beach were amazing. The house was perfect for our family. It's bigger than the pictures make it appear and so well stocked with way more than you would expect. There was olive oil, spices, Tupperware, beach towels, beach chairs, toys, a beach cart, boogie board, laundry detergent, dryer sheets, clothes hampers, clothes drying rack and lots of hangers! Jim is such a great host. He brought us an extra fishing pole so my husband and kids didn't have to share. There was a newlywed couple that stayed in the Surf Shack (house behind the house) and they told us Jim had set out a bottle of champagne for them on the night they arrived. Just a really thoughtful guy. My parents stayed in the Surf Shack for the last 2 weeks of our month stay and there's a hidden gate in the fence that can be opened between the two properties otherwise no privacy issues. Caught quite a few fish in the canal including sheepshead, mangrove snapper, snook and a tarpon. Great month, great memories at the the Island Breeze.

Everything was fabulous! Location is great. Quick bike ride away from the village or beach and away from the noise of the village. Backyard is great for relaxing and grilling. Everything you need is already here. This was our third stay with Jim. He is always super responsive and great with providing tips and answering any questions. Can't wait to visit again!

The home offered so much, peaceful and relaxing so close to the village!

I had a wonderful stay in siesta key although it rained the first week I was still able to go into the village because you’re so close. The second week complete sunshine “Beautiful Beach time! So many places deliver even the free ride + tips pick you up go anywhere in the village. The home had everything I had Bikes delivered to the home we rode everywhere. There’s a beautiful private doc across from the home. If you rent a Paddleboard or kayaks you can go right off the dock and just store them on the dock it’s a very safe area!! So all you do is show up park your car and enjoy your stay because Siesta keep village has everything you need and the home does too, can’t wait to come back. And did I mention Jim the owner is awesome if you need anything call or text he will come and help, amazing owner thank you Jim for opening your beautiful home for us to stay we enjoyed our stay very much!!!
