Fantastic property

Our family had a wonderful stay at this meticulously maintained home. The pool was a big hit with our school aged children, while we enjoyed the covered porch. A great location close to the beach and other local attractions. Would definitely stay here again!

January in FL

We rented TIm‘s house for the month of January. Tim was a great communicator. Any questions we had, he was very prompt in answering. During our stay, there was still some cleanup happening from the hurricane. We had a few small issues with the pool, but TIm was super prompt in getting the pool guys there to get things fixed quickly. Convenient to Siesta Key, lots of great restaurants, golf and shopping in the area. Venice isn’t too far for a trip to the beach to search for shark teeth.

Ideal Property for a Relaxing Stay

We had a wonderful stay at this VRBO property. The house was in a fantastic location and the owner was friendly and responsive, ensuring that we had everything we needed during our visit. The house itself was spotless, well-appointed, and thoughtfully set up, making it feel like a home away from home. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and we'd definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a comfortable and hassle-free stay.

Super Sarasota Stay!

Loved this property for our family vacation! The home was clean, the pool was amazing, the beds were comfortable and Tim the host was quick to respond. There were 4 adults and two kids in our party and we had extra space. The house is in a quiet, nice neighborhood 10 minutes max from Siesta Key and has everything you need. We will definitely be back!

Perfect Sarasota Stay!

This was a great place to stay on our family vacation! Close to all our favorite spots in the area, restaurants, beaches, and shops. The pool was awesome and provided the perfect activity when the beach was too hot or crowded and we just wanted some calm and relaxing family time. Can’t wait to come back next time!

Great house!

This was the first VRBO house that no one in my family (2 adults and 2 teenagers) had any complaints about! A miracle! The house was very clean and nicely furnished. The pool and outdoor space was perfect for our family of 4. The neighborhood was quiet and close to everything we needed. Tim was also very responsive and helpful. All in all it was a great vacation rental and we intend to stay there again!

Exactly as pictured

We very much enjoyed our stay at Key Dreams. The house was clean and spacious. The pool/lanai area was wonderful. The location was great. It was just a few minutes drive to the beach, great restaurants (our favorite was Fin & Tonic), grocery stores and St Armand’s Circle and Siesta Key Village. The Ringling museum was free on Mondays. The owner was quick to respond to any questions. We would definitely rent this house again.

Great Getaway

The house was perfect for our family. Two kids, grandparents, and us. The house had everything you need and very easy for everyone to spread out. Neighborhood was quiet and no traffic so kids could be outside and play ball in the street or yard without concern. Patio was perfect for hanging out in the sun or the shade and enjoying the pool. We ate all our meals outside. Tim was very easy to contact when needed. We liked the location as our adventures took us both north (Siesta and Lido Keys) and south (Caspersen Beach and Gasparilla). Perfect house.

Christmas Vacation

We really enjoyed staying at this property. It was a perfect location for a family who wanted to experience Siesta Key but not be right on Siesta Key. Easy to get to most attractions. We loved that the property had everything we needed. We enjoyed spending time in the pool and making dinner. The property also had everything we needed to go to the beach.

Clean, comfortable and a great location!

This home was the perfect fit for our Sarasota vacation. It had everything we needed along with beach chairs, a soft cooler and beach wagon to make our day at Siesta Key that more enjoyable. We were very impressed with how clean this home is and how comfortable it was right down to the beds. The pool area is very private, it was definitely a great way to relax after visiting all the nearby attractions. My wife and I enjoyed our morning walks around the peaceful neighborhood. Tim is very attentive, questions or needs were addressed quickly he’s an excellent host. Thank you!

Excellent-Will Be Back!

What an excellent vacation spot! We are so grateful to have found this gem. We are frequent fliers to Florida and this is the best home yet. Home is clean, plenty of space and communication with owner is on point. The pool/patio area is enclosed and also fenced in to offer much more privacy-fantastic! Love the secure feeling of the home, neighborhood is lovely, zero concerns for our family. HIGHLY recommend!
