Welcome to Saltwater Siesta

Our Tropical Environment
Florida’s sunshine brings beautiful nature! The property receives regular professional pest control, but occasionally a small outdoor critter may try to say hello. Keeping doors and windows closed helps keep them outside.

Our saltwater pool is professionally serviced twice weekly. Because the pool is uncaged, occasional leaves or debris from nearby trees may fall in. A skimmer net is provided if needed. Minor pest sightings or natural debris in the pool are part of our tropical environment and are not eligible for refunds.

Amenities
Occasionally furnishings or amenities may need repair or replacement due to normal wear or unexpected maintenance. We always do our very best to restore the home to listed conditions and will communicate with guests if anything changes.

Dog
One fully house-trained small dog may be allowed with prior approval ($200 fee). A second may be considered for an additional fee.

Dog must:
• be fully house-trained, no puppies please
• be crated when left alone
• stay off furniture
• not enter the pool
Proof of flea/tick prevention required. We provide a crate, bowls, mats, and a leash.
Cats and other pets are not permitted.

Thank you for helping us keep Saltwater Siesta clean, peaceful, and welcoming for every guest. We are so honored to host you!

So grateful!

This place was amazing in every way possible! I absolutely loved the decor, every furnishing and finished touch just felt so peaceful and relaxing. Everything has been so-well organized and prepared-you don’t need a thing-other than a trip to the grocery store when needed. Truly enjoyed my stay here and hope to visit again!

Home away from home!

We truly loved staying at Saltwater Siesta! The space felt welcoming, comfortable, and thoughtfully prepared for guests. Stephanie went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and was a wonderful host throughout our stay. We especially appreciated the welcome basket, comfortable beds, outdoor pool, and how fully stocked the house was with everything you could need. We made amazing memories on our first girls trip to Florida, and this home made the experience even more special. We will definitely be back!

We had a great time!

Saltwater Siesta was everything we hoped for and more! Our girls trip was a total success – the house had everything we needed, and the pool was an absolute hit. We spent so much time lounging, laughing, and soaking up the Florida sunshine. The beds were super comfy, and every space was thoughtfully designed and fully stocked. It was the perfect home base for our getaway. We’re already planning our next trip back. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing and fun escape in Sarasota!

Absolutely Perfect Stay!We stayed at this beautiful home for a short visit with my two grandchildren (9 and 13) and my 81-year-old mother while exploring destinations for a future family vacation—and it exceeded every expectation!The house itself is beautifully decorated, spotless, and so comfortable. Every detail was perfect, from the cozy beds to the fully stocked kitchen. The pool area was sparkling clean and absolutely gorgeous—a perfect spot for everyone. The game room was a huge hit with everyone (including Grandma!), giving us plenty of fun family time together.The location was ideal, close to everything and we felt very safe! Communication with the host was outstanding; instructions were clear and helpful, and it truly felt like they cared about making our stay perfect.We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. This home has everything you could possibly need for a comfortable, family-friendly getaway. We’re already looking forward to returning with the whole family for a longer stay!
