Very Pleased

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Great communication with the owner. The interior and landscaping have been nicely updated. The backyard with the pool and tiki hut were a huge hit with the kids!

July Stay

This VRBO was gorgeous. We had 6 people and it fit my family comfortably. The pool area was amazing, the pool is not heated but was warm in July. Tiki bar was so cute! We had a great stay and the owners were great to work with.

Fun Christmas in Sarasota!

The home was awesome! For the first time I found a place to look better than the photos. I'm had plenty of space for two families. The house is very comfortable, and a pleasure to stay in. The backyard had a terrific pool and an awesome tiki Hut! My family and I will definitely stay there again Eugene

This was a perfect place for my family to spend Easter weekend. Easy check in process, beautiful home with a fantastic back yard with cute tiki hut, 2 grills, ping pong table & trampoline Quick trip to any location - just minutes from the south bridge over to Siesta Key beach as well as any grocery store, drug store, restaurant etc in the area. 15 minutes to downtown Sarasota and St. Armands Circle. The owner is very communicative and helpful. The house is super cozy and very clean! We will absolutely be back. Thank you for having us!

About the host

Hosted by Dominik Kieliszek

Host profile image
Our family followed our hearts to Sunny Sarasota from north Texas in 2018. We fell in love with the home and area but a jobopportunity took us back to Texas in 2021. We couldn't bare to sell our beautiful home in paradise so we kept the house and a growing real estate business in Florida. We get back here often to tend to the home and clients and also to soak up some Vitamin Sea. Whenever we can't enjoy it for ourselves, we open up our home to guests. We couldn't do this without the support of our trusted local management/maintenance team and retired neighbors. They are our eyes/ears & hands/feet when we're not there and have allowed us to host over 70 happy groups and maintain very high reviews and rankings.

Why they chose this property

Perfect spot for groups and families looking for a cozy, cute, comfortable, place close to the beach! We provide TONS of supplies and have more amenities than the average vacation rental. It's a quiet neighborhood and we greatly respect and appreciate our neighbors so NO PARTIES!! Fines may be assessed for violations of rules around number of guests and quiet hours.

What makes this property unique

This was our primary home that we chose with the plan to turn it into a vacation rental at some point. Therefore, we chose a home that would meet all of our needs as a family (space for two growing boys and pets, love of the outdoors, close proximity to gorgeous beaches, hosting friends and family, etc.) and would also accommodate the wants/needs of our wonderful future guests.

Why choose The Sand Castle?

I think Dave, one of our awesome guests from Sept. 2022 said it best when he wrote, "This was one of the most beautiful homes I’ve ever stayed in. The beds were so comfy. I loved that I could use the electric window blinds when I woke up and walk directly into the pool from the (primary) suite. The tiki bar was so much fun taking turns playing bartender with our friends who joined us on our vacation. The light over the pool and tiki bar made it feel like we were in our own little paradise. I would highly recommend this home to anyone and everyone. Can’t wait to start planning our next trip here."

Or when Justine, who also stayed with us last fall wrote, "This was the best location and accommodation ever. Minutes to the best beach and located on a quiet street but with easy access to main roads to take you wherever you want to go. Appliances were abundant and there are loads of pool accessories, games and beach equipment. The hosts were amazing...
