Perfect beach cottage

We just stayed here for 4 days and it was perfect! So charming. In a great location to walk to the beach or to the village. Excellent choice of beach items. The pool was beautiful and the cottage itself very clean and up to date but yet still has the charm of an old town beach home. I can’t recommend it enough!! The owners were very easy to deal with and nice.

Beautiful Cozy property with awesome hosts

We have been renting through Vrbo for over 10 years and Stacey and Gary are far the the best hosts/property managers we had so far. The house has the modern, nice, warm and cozy atmosphere you feel once you are in, that you cannot feel from only looking at the beautiful photos of the house. You need to go in there to feel it and you will have all amenities you need to enjoy. We had wonderful 17 days in this almost perfect property and for small imperfections, Stacey and Gary were there to help make our stay perfect!!! Thank you for being awesome hosts, we will come back soon😃😃 Gordana and Branislav

Beach Cottage with private pool

Perfect place to stay on Siesta with your well-behaved dogs! I almost hate to leave a review as it is hard enough to find available dates here as is :) Private pool & short walk to beach accesses and not too far from the village. Just enough grass in the fully fenced backyard for your pups to do their business (there is also a nice swath of grass in front and across the street if your dogs need to be walked). We left a pooper scooper so everyone can easily clean up after their dogs. Shed was PACKED with beach carts, chairs, pool and beach toys! We travel with a carrier attached to our car hitch and we appreciated having enough space to tuck that away in there while we stayed for safekeeping. Towels are aplenty and if you run out there is always the on-premise laundry. More than average amount of parking available for the island. Loved having the comfortable king sized bed. Allowed an early check in, no problem & extremely understanding of a mistake I made during stay

Great Stay!

The house was clean. When I booked, I stated we were going for my birthday. There were birthday balloons in the house when we arrived:) It's great having your own pool. If you are with kids, it's nice because there is a shallow end or a place to lay in to keep cool if you aren't with kids. Easy walk to the beach and village. Would definitely stay again:)

The benefit is it’s close to the beach.

When we got there there was garbage in the backyard and the cleaners were still there 48 mins later than my check in. There were dirty dishes left for me to take care of. A pantry/closet door in a bedroom fell on my kids head. I let all this go but the property manager/owner messaged me saying I never paid a pet fee that I 100% did and confirmed with VRBO that I did.. I did more cleaning being there than a guest should but on top of that was talked horribly to by the owner.

Perfect Stay!

This property was perfect for our little family. There is a pack n play in the room with a mirror that was not listed in the description. Very easy walk to public beach access point but not a very busy part of the beach at all. Outdoor shower for easy rinse off. Pool had one umbrella, we rented another for the beach that we used at the pool too for shade in the mid afternoon. Great stay!!!

New Years get away

This property was exactly as advertised. Cute, roomy, very close to the beach, and the private pool was great! I would only give three suggestions. Turn the heater in the pool up a few more degrees; it was pretty cold. An outside dining table would make the outside area perfect. And finally, some check in instructions would be helpful. Such as where the laundry is located (it’s next door), how to adjust the thermostat, and if there are specifics you need to do when checking out. All in all it was a great stay. If we return to Siesta Key, we’ll definitely stay here again!

As advertised, amazing (not perfect but close!)

While the communication with the host was a bit off (maybe be had a lot going on, but it was odd at best), this property is wonderful. The owner is clearly updating and improving this property. There are obvious upgrades and updates throughout the home. It is an old home, so some of the charm does lend to imperfections but this was by far one of our favorite VRBO rentals. The home is spacious with comfortable furniture, an awesome pool and pool area and so many helpful things already there for your stay. The beach and house towels were clean and fresh (plentiful) as was the bedding and pillow choices. The kitchen is super nicely done. (There are some cracked tiles and what not but by the time anyone reads this, I bet Gary has it addressed . ) Other negatives were: only one bathroom (not a deal breaker), small shower I'm terms of space between wall with shower head and wall behind you, some signs of mold above bathroom ceiling (vent had mold around it) which could just be a small fix. (There was NOT a mildew or moldy /damp smell) the house was very very clean and smelled nice. This home is very cute and is in a nice, quiet area with an easy walk to the beach access. The Village is a short drive or a 10 min walk. Our only real complaint is that you don't (as a guest) seem to have any control of the thermostat. We sleep hot and simply wanted to turn the air down (not drastically just not 74 like it was stuck at ) but we could not change it. We messaged the host about it and we're ignored. As I said, communication wasn't the best. However, the host / owner is a real person who has his own life and it was not any kind of emergency. I do feel like if we had any actual urgent need or anything from him, he would have been responsive. We would definitely love to stay here again if it is just us and our daughter. However, although there is room to comfortably sleep several people, there is only one bathroom. So if you have a large family or group that is something to consider. This home is definitely a great, special place though and I have a feeling the owner is only going to keep making it better!

Comfy cottage - things to ask the host

Overall great experience. Cute cottage. Great pool. Host needs to leave instructions how to work the TV (no cable) how to heat the pool (the pool guy actually told me near the end of the week) what to do upon leaving. Strip beds? Garbage? Also should leave more than one key and supply dishwasher soap.

Great beach cottage

We had a great time staying here for a long weekend. The property was great and exactly as advertised. Owner communicated beforehand regarding check in procedures and the house was very clean. Unfortunately when we arrived none of the televisions were working and when we reached out to the owner for assistance we never heard back. We were not able use them for the entirety of our stay. This was the only disappointing part of our experience.

Perfect beach cottage for a quiet family getaway!

We loved our stay at this property. Plenty of space for our family (two adults, three kids 7, 3 & 3). Pool is the perfect size and has a larger play shelf area great for non-swimmers or those still learning. Kitchen has everything you need and ample space. We did not use the dine-in bar w the barstools but would be great for older kids or adults. Beds were comfortable, plenty of room. Quick walk to either beach access 11 or 10 and about a 10-15 minute walk to the Village. Trolley stop is 2-3 minutes away and takes you all over Siesta Key. We are locals who just needed a quick getaway with our kids and this did not disappoint. There were beach chairs, cart and some inflatables for the pool. Chairs weren't in the best shape so we are glad we brought our own. Great WiFi and streaming services integrated in the TV. Both my husband and I were able to work while away and had no issues there.
