Lovely welcoming home walking distance to town, near park and restaurants. Trolley to beach a few blocks away. Backyard magical.

Amazing backyard!
Very well-appointed cottage. The owners thought of everything. The place is very clean and up to date. The location is close to the bike trail and a short drive from Lido Beach. The star of the show is the backyard. It is definitely a tropical paradise. We spent our whole evenings out there. I definitely hope to return for a longer stay.

Great stay in Siesta Key
My family and I were so impressed with the accommodations. The home was very clean and well organized even the kitchen had labels so we could find everything and we cooked a lot. Everything was so clean and the kids were happy that they had so much beach equipment like boogie boards to take to the beach. We didn't have to rent anything when we went to the beach. The owners responded quickly through the VRBO App to respond to our unexpected requests and inquiries. Overall my family and I had a great time here and look forward to another stay.

We loved our stay in Sarasota and couldn't have been happier with the location so close to Downtown and this super cute home. There was everything we could need in our 'home from home' to make our stay comfortable and easy. The hosts were wonderful to work with, and went out of their way to help us with our checking in and out schedules. We will definitely be back!

5 days in Paradise
Don’t have enough words to describe how beautiful and neat this house is. Located centrally, close to all the main attractions in Sarasota, within only 10 min drive to the best beach in US by all means-Siesta Kea beach, where we would go every morning to swim, or at night for a beautiful sunset. You can basically walk to downtown where you find plenty of good restaurants and bars with live music, or a 10 min drive to Siesta Key if you like to party all night. House has everything and more for a short or longer stay.There is Publix supermarket just 10min walk from the house. Beautiful park, and a trail for biking, running, or walk- just around the corner. Check in was made very easy by the host that lives in the neighboring house. Would definitely stay there again.
