About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
We made this 5-star property even better! Just read our reviews!
This immaculate, gated property, both tranquil and serene, is located seven houses to the start of Siesta Key Village. It is just close enough to enjoy the live music, many restaurants and bars, shopping, etc., but just far enough away that you aren't bothered by the noise! The entire site is gated and walled, with amazing 20-foot bamboo trees, allowing total privacy from any neighbors. These features are unique to very few homes on our island! The newly resurfaced pool area and expansive deck provide sunlight all day long, especially on the covered lanai where you can enjoy your morning coffee with privacy.
We offer a heated pool, a wonderful hot tub, a pro-like putting green, 85" TV in the family room, a Ms. PacMan electronic game in the lower level, plenty of off street parking, cul-de-sac seclusion, a very modern and equipped kitchen with high end appliances, 2 zone air conditioning, high-speed WiFi, proximity to shopping, plenty of beach equipment, and a stock of soaps, shampoos, paper towels, etc. for your convenience. You'll experience a complete and wonderful stay!
The Siesta Key area has snorkeling, one of the best vacation beaches anywhere in the US, a choice of restaurants to pamper your palate, Florida sunshine, spring training baseball, arts, culture and even the Sarasota Opera House with award-winning performances. Sarasota County offers the Mote Marine Aquarium and Laboratory, Myakka State Park for wildlife watching and alligator viewing, lots of recreational golf, tennis, pickleball and fishing. Sarasota Bay is one of the most important estuaries in the Southwest Florida with abundant sea life, including about 150 dolphins that call Sarasota Bay their home.
Siesta Key is simply a great place to vacation.
The beach is a short walk from the village, to spend the day sunning, or to catch one of our lovely sunsets! This house is really perfect for families to share, featuring a completely separate living area on the lower level. Grandparents or teens will love their privacy!! Imagine spending your Florida vacation behind the gates of a tasteful and completely renovated home loaded with upgrades. Professionally designed and furnished with transitional styling by Sarasota Chic, this two-story gem is even more beautiful inside than the tropical utopia we created outside. The entire property has new turf and stone, including a putting green. It's hard to find a property with so many amenities. We are located on an over-sized lot, with an enormous parking area for guests and plenty of room for a few games of corn hole, as well. Every room was renovated from the flooring to the custom plank ceilings, providing a cozy, yet elegant atmosphere and sleeps eight comfortably. The beautiful master bedroom and master bath are situated on one side of the upper level, while two more good sized bedrooms are on the other side. They share another full custom full bath which is also master bath quality. The many windows and sliding lanai doors provide beautiful views around this well positioned home. For your safety, this entire house is protected with top grade custom hurricane proof windows and doors. All three full baths are finished with stone, mirrors, chandeliers and/or unique fixtures.
This home features a tankless hot water system, so running out of hot water is an impossibility! The kitchen offers lovely quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, and plentiful crown molding. The two-tiered island is surrounded with super comfortable high grade leather barstools and highlighted by elegant lighting. Gourmet cooks will love the thoughtful kitchen design, and appreciate the top-of-the-line appliances, including a very roomy Subzero refrigerator, Wolf gas stove, and a hidden drawer microwave. Even the toaster is made by Wolf! The kitchen island work area was purposely situated to face the fabulous view to the outside. Five months out of the year, the four panel sliding pocket doors can be opened, allowing the inside and outside to merge in harmony. Not to worry, if the weather gets warm, we have a two-zone air conditioning system for your comfort. You can lounge poolside or on the lanai, either watching television, reading, or listening to music. Should you enjoy tanning, we are fortunate enough to have direct sunlight from sunrise until late afternoon all year round. Although totally fenced and walled in, you will be impressed by the privacy our 20 foot bamboo trees provide, secluding you from your surroundings, creating complete privacy very few homes in Siesta Key are able to offer. Our 4-person outdoor spa and fire pit area are a great way to enjoy your evenings. By the way, the pool is heated. Practice your putting skill in the lighted putting green, too. There is as much to do outside as there is inside! Plenty of beach towels are available on the deck for your use.
The lower level is roomy and relaxing, complete with a sitting area, card table and chairs and custom wet bar. It's a great spot to retreat to for some T.V. or a game of PacMan, which is a pub floor model unit featuring many different games! Outstanding accommodations for sharing families, you'll find a large bedroom and great, contemporary full bath, on the lower level, as well.
There is also a separate, private entry door that leads to the landscaped backyard, where the propane firepit and hot tub are located off the paved walkway. This door can also be used to enter discretely after a night at the Beach Club!
Our lanai, deck and pool face the south, quite a plus in winter and early spring when selecting a property. This means the backyard and pool get the most sun possible from dawn until late afternoon. The landscaping makes our yard extremely private with tall, lush tropical green plants and trees. Get a great tan on our 1200 square foot deck and plan some meals at our comfy 10 seat picnic table. Barbecue your favorite meals at our Weber 3 burner grill.
From our home, you're a 5 minute walk to the world-famous Siesta Key village of shops, restaurants and Morton's Gourmet Supermarket. Another 3 blocks from the village lies the Gulf of America waters with our gorgeous white sand beaches and the favorite sunset location sure to provide you with stunning vistas all year round.
Trips to the beach are easy, but I must admit, the backyard is hard to leave!! For beach lovers, there are chairs and a wagon, should you need it.
The property offers extremely large driveway with room for several vehicles, or just a few games of corn hole. Along with the fun, there is a volleyball net available to use in the pool should you wish. We offer two cruising bikes and several beach chairs, too.
This pristine property will meet your every expectation and allow you to enjoy the best Siesta Key has to offer!
Please know that in-season, the times of Feb 1 to April 20 of every year, we customarily book Saturday 4pm to the following Saturday 9am. The check-in and check-out times are firm, unless arranged differently, in advance. On a rare occasion, we can do mid-week move-in but unlikely. Mid-week move ins are easiest to set outside of the spring season and determined on a case-by-case basis.
Regardless of the length of your stay, expect a wonderful, relaxing and enjoyable vacation. You'll want to return year after year!

We loved the house and especially loved the great outdoor space for our family! Sitting around the pool and having the outdoor space in the shade to watch sports was so fun too! Would absolutely stay again. Location was fantastic too!
This property truly is an oasis! We loved every minute of our time here - the house, pool, yard and location are all top-notch. Joe was a wonderful host and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Grateful to have spent our family vacation at this stunning home!
Joe was a very gracious host communicating before and throughout our stay. The location was very convenient to restaurants, shops and the beach. The house had all the amenities that you would expect but also extras (chairs, cookers, umbrella, wagon, etc) for the beach as well. If we ever decide to come back to visit we will be letting Joe know. Thank you
A beautiful home setting with a gorgeous backyard with pool, hot tub and mini golf! Short walk to the village and beach! My favorite home I have ever rented for the holidays! Joe the manager met us and showed us around! He and wife Christine were very helpful during our stay! I highly recommend this home you will love it!
We stayed at the home with a group of six adults. The home was located a short walk from shopping and restaurants. The home had everything we needed and a lot of unexpected, nice amenities too! Beautiful backyard with pool, hot tub and firepit area. The owners were super accommodating! We would definitely stay here again!
The family and I really enjoyed the home that Joe provided to us. We really enjoyed the location being super close to everything that we need and the home was super clean from top to bottom and every area including the garage And of course the outdoor space would be perfect for anybody. Joe was a great guy to work with. Enjoyed his personality And we would definitely rent his place again. Already talking about next year
This home feels like you are staying in a mini resort. The location is as others have described: with private and quiet space, yet easy to walk to dinner, sunsets, shopping, night life, beach. The owners are super nice, responsive, helpful. They were always available to assist- went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed for our stay.
We will be back.
We just returned from a fantastic family vacation at this property. This was the most well-equipped home we have ever rented. No details were overlooked by the owners, the property is stunning. Communication with the owner was prompt and friendly. Check in and check out were a piece of cake. I highly recommend this location and look forward to returning! Thanks Joe and Christine!
We had wonderful time in this exceptional property. Furniture, fixtures, and features of house are modern, well kept, and tasteful. Everything was immaculate and in no time, it felt like home. Owners were very respectful of our privacy, but welcoming and incredibly responsive when we had questions. Proximity to Siesta Key town center and beach was perfect. We would stay here again in a heartbeat! Lifetime memories for our family, and nothing but good things to say!
We loved our stay at this beautiful home. Location was great as we could easily walk to the Village even with 5 kids in tow. House has everything you need. Owners were great with communication and were very helpful. Our 5 grandsons swam in the pool every day- even on a rainy day. We all loved the hot tub and putting green. We had 6 adults and 5 boys under the age of 5 and there was plenty of room for everyone to find their own space. Definitely recommend this home!
Property was exactly as described. However the description just doesn’t do this place justice. It was absolutely stunning. The location is a quick walk to the Siesta Village yet far enough to give you peace and quiet. Amenities were awesome! Joe and Christine were great hosts, met us at the property at check in and were very responsive and accommodating. Would highly recommend their home to others. Our family will definitely be returning.
This home is very clean, organized, tastefully decorated and has beautiful grounds. The bountiful amenities encourage relaxation & fun inside and out. A great place to gather & enjoy the people you love. Also going to the beach .5 miles away was not a big deal because the hosts provided plenty of beach towels, an easy to pull wagon, beach chairs & shade canopy. We didn’t have to rent anything. Hosts were easy to communicate with, too.
My family and I had an amazing time at this property. The pictures do not do it justice. It truly is an amazing place to stay, we highly recommend. We were a family of five and then two additional adults. We had plenty of room and enjoyed all the amenities. There were so many special touches and extra special things in the home that we enjoyed. The pool, Jacuzzi, and fit pit area were amazing as well. Joe and his wife were great hosts and stopped by to water flowers and make sure we had everything we needed.
We had an incredible stay in Siesta Key in no small part to this great property. The home came very well equipped with everything we needed plus some. The property is very well cared for and Joe makes sure you have everything you need to enjoy your vacation. The location of the house to the shops and restaurants couldn't be better. We really enjoyed the covered rear patio with a TV and couch just off the pool. Everyone could be together no matter if you are in the pool or kitchen. Highly recommend!! You will not be disappointed.
Wonderful house with all the amenities. The kids loved the pool and there was plenty of sun on the pool deck. The covered patio provided shade when you needed a break. Plus it was a great place to sit at night. The house is beautiful, the beds were very comfortable. We walked into the village for dinner or ice cream often. The kitchen has everything you need and we used the gas grill outside. The beach is a short walk or a shorter drive. They have beach chairs and Umbrellas for the beach. Siesta Key beach is beautiful and very clean.

We had a great time. Beautiful Property!
Beautiful home. Pool, hot tub, outdoor patio with TV. Great for first weekend of basketball playoffs. Great place for young and old! We had both. Kitchen is amazing.4 beautiful bedrooms.
Walked to restaurants,stores and beach. I would strongly recommend to others. Owners are wonderful people. Christine was like a long lost best friend. Thank you for having us in your home! Therese Lopshire
Stayed here for a week with 5 adults and 4 kids under 9. This house is INCREDIBLE….backyard oasis perfect for family fun, fully stocked bathrooms & kitchen, incredibly comfortable beds, and everything you could ever need for the beach! The village and beach are both just a quick walk away.
Joe and Christine are the BEST!! Greeted us upon arrival and departure to help with any needs and they were extremely communicative throughout the whole trip if we needed anything.
We cannot wait to come back here. If you’re hesitant about booking, don’t be bc you will NOT regret this decision. We had the best week ever!!
From the moment you drive up to the gate, you know you’re in for a vacation in paradise. Every amenity you could think of has been placed exactly where it should be. Just add your food and you’re all set for your stay. The beach is just a few minutes away walking or seconds riding on the provided beach bikes (very comfortable). This place will be at the top of our list for places to return and places to recommend. Joe and Christine are fabulous hosts. Joe gave us a quick tour of the house upon our arrival and give brief explanations of how certain things worked. This honestly was the most helpful thing we’ve ever experienced in all of our past rentals. I could go on and on about this place, but I’ll sum it up with one word, “Perfection”.
Perfect house! Perfect beach! Perfect vacation! We are two families of four that came together for a great experience. (Adults and teens) The house is beautiful, well stocked, immaculately clean, with a perfect outdoor oasis in the back yard. Joe and Christine are truly the perfect hosts going above and beyond ensuring you have everything you need allowing more time to focus on your family and vacation activities. The communication prior to our arrival, in addition to the check in process , was very easy. Joe met us at the home, walking us through any details we needed to see.
The neighborhood is very quiet and location of the home is conveniently located within walking distance to the shops, restaurants, beaches, and even a few fishing spots.
We would definitely love to return and stay again.
Thanks Joe and Christine!!
We can't recommend this home enough for a first-rate Siesta Key retreat!! This has to be the best location on the island -- remote enough for a private experience, but a very easy walk into the village for shopping, nightlife, beach, restaurants. The quiet neighborhood is perfect for shady walks with gorgeous views. The house is beautifully decorated, with an exceptionally equipped kitchen, very comfortable beds with great linens. The saltwater pool and hot tub are immaculate! Spacious outdoor patio/deck with plenty of furniture, covered TV lounge, landscaped fire pit area,
gated parking. There are smart TV's in all rooms, a multi-room audio streaming system, and a really fun bar area with classic video games. Best of all are the owners, who are lovely people, meticulous when readying the house for move-in, and very attentive to texts if needed. They have outfitted this home with great style and forethought. If you're looking for the nicest VRBO you've ever stayed in, this is the place! We simply loved it!
This is a must if your looking to visit Siesta Keys! We had 4 couples and were comfortable. This home is just as pictured. You will want for nothing. When Joe says you only need a couple outfits he means it! It's in a nice area, walking distance to everything. Beautiful backyard, pool, hottub and firepit, and we used it all. Hospitality was amazing. We were greeted by both Joe and Christine (owners) to show us around the property. They were just a text away if we had any questions and Christine is a wonderful photographer (thanks for taking our photos) 🙂 lol . If we visit Siesta Keys again we will definitely stay here. Our only problem is our vacations are never long enough!
Joe and Christine, We absolutely loved our stay and we can't Thank You enough for sharing your home with us and making us feel so welcome.❤
My wife and I have been coming to Siesta Key for the last several years and we have finally found “paradise” in this home! We have stayed in several different rental homes on the key that are beautiful but this one if by far our favorite! The location is within walking distance of the Village and beach but the home is its own private oasis. It has every amenity you can think of and is beautifully decorated and maintained inside and out! The hosts, Joe and Christine, go above and beyond with making you feel welcome and being attentive while maintaining your privacy. They make you feel like family and provide you with anything you might need during your stay. They truly are amazing people! We enjoyed the first 3 weeks on our own and then our children and grandchildren came to spend the last week with us. We had everything in the garage we needed for a trip to the beach but I think our family enjoyed hanging out at the house and the pool more because it was so nice! Looking forward to our next trip. Wish I could give 10 stars for this property and the owners!

The home is fine but there is a red tide issue at Siesta Key
We had a group of seven at the property. The location is convenient to shopping and restuarants. The home is just fine with no issues. However, I'd be highly unlikely to book at Siesta Key due to an ongoing red tide issue. You pay a premium to be at Siesta Key an this location but if red tide moves in your week is over. This was the third incidence in 2018 of red tide and if we had the full picture going into the rental we would've made other accomodations. The stench of dead fish was so bad one day we couldn't even go outside. Unfortunately, everything I read says this will be an ongoing issue for some time to come. If you need a home in this area and have no intention of going to the beach this property is great. However, if you want a beach vacation I'd make alternative arrangements than Siesta Key and Sarasota County.
Everything about our stay, the property and the hosts, deserve a perfect 5+ rating/review. We would give an even higher rating if that were possible. Out family spent 7 extremely comfortable nights in this beautiful, immaculate home over Thanksgiving. The hosts, Christine and Joe were both excellent communicators throughout the rental process, from long before our arrival to after our departure. They both went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect when we arrived as well as during our stay. We spent many hours enjoying the private outside space. The heated pool, covered patio/lanai and jacuzzi were especially big hits. Not only is the home beautiful inside and fully furnished with everything we could have desired, but the landscaping on this property is also very beautiful. We took advantage of the beach and village that were just a short walk/bike ride away. Joe and Christine have this place set up with everything you will need. We love Siesta Key (we’ve been coming here regularly for nearly 20 years) and can’t wait to come back. When we do we will not consider any other place. This place is it and these are the best hosts we could have hoped for!!. Thanks Christine and Joe for the wonderful family memories that you helped us make!
