About the host
Hosted by Beth Fallon
Beth and I are life-long Indian Lake Pennsylvania residents with an AirBnB there and one in Siesta Key FL that is listed here on VRBO. Beth's grandfather and father were partners in the development of Indian Lake at the start. Our 3 grown sons were all born when we lived year-round in the house next door to our AirBnB A-Frame and we still spend most of the summer there. Otherwise, we live in Pittsburgh. Beth keeps a large and lovely garden between those two houses at the lake. Jeff plays guitar and sings for fun and has been known to strum it fireside from time to time... Siesta Key has been a vacation destination for Beth's family since her grandfather made a wrong turn on the way to Venice back in the 50s and wound up buying beachfront property just off the Stickney Point Bridge near the Point of Rocks. In 2021 we realized our dream of having a place of our own in this beach paradise. Beth is my way-better half of 30+ years. Our houses reflect not just her decorating style but also her vision for a total rework of a building's structure. If you're impressed with the results of her vision, you'd be blown away to see her in action as she does much of the work herself including demolition, drywall, painting, carpentry and tile. I always say Beth should host her own HGTV show...
Why they chose this property
We love the location and how family-friendly it is! It's a very short walk to the Siesta Key village with all the fun that has to offer. But it's not so close to be disturbed by the noise late at night. We also love that it's so close to the beach. It's just a short walk (and a very short bike ride!) to several of our favorite beach spots including the sunset pier (directly west of the village) and access #5 near the Beach Tower at the lower end of the village. It's 1.4 miles to the public beach if you're wondering but we're more accustomed to the beaches near the village which are very close.
This house is perfect for us whether we're enjoying it alone or having friends and family (we have 7 grandkids now!) visiting.

What makes this property unique
In the garage there are 12 bicycles of all sizes for kids and adults plus a trailer bike and a towable bike trailer that'll fit two kiddos. Helmets, bike locks and bike lights abound :) And an ample supply of beach chairs and toys plus a popup beach tent and a beach cart to lug it all back and forth are there for your use. The in-ground heated saltwater pool has a neat "splashpad" area with seating most of the way around the pool and the hot tub is an awesome way to relax any time. You can control the lighting and temperature to tune it all just the way you like. A two-story screened-in porch (pool level and the main living level) are perfect for enjoying the breeze while keeping any bugs away any time of the year.
