About this property

ONE MILE from beautiful Siesta Key, #1 beach in the USA!!!

  • Welcome to your cottage by the gulf of Mexico! Blue Haven is a comfortable 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom cottage located one mile from Crescent Beach (my favorite Siesta Key beach), with a gorgeous, heated, salt water pool (with baby gate, if needed) in a completely fenced-in, private backyard where you can enjoy your meals grilled on your weber grill, sitting by the pool or in the screened-in lanai. If you bring your four-legged babies, they will love exploring the large backyard! You are minutes walking distance to a fabulous Thai restaurant, a wonderful bakery, an awesome breakfast/lunch deli/restaurant, and a barbecue joint! You have everything you need within a mile-radius of your home base, yet the street is so quiet and private, you would never know you are in such a vibrant area!

    This cook's kitchen has beautiful granite countertops, and is fully stocked with all of the utensils, kitchen equipment, and pots and pans you will need if you want to cook in or grill out by the pool. The washer and dryer are located in the kitchen for easy access.

    The living room and dining room are comfortable and "beachy" - just like you want for your beach get-away! The island colors and light, airy feel of this comfortable living space will lighten your spirit and entice you to lay back and let the tropics invade your senses.

    The spacious master bedroom features a comfortable king bed, a dresser, a desk, and an attached master bath. The master bathroom features a large walk-in shower with two shower heads for a luxurious shower after the beach, the pool, or a day of exploring all that Siesta Key, Sarasota and the surrounding areas have to offer.

    Two bedrooms are on the other side of the living area. The one bedroom has a comfortable queen bed, a desk and a dresser. The other bedroom has two comfy XL twin beds and a dresser. These bedrooms share a bathroom with a shower/tub combination.

    The screened-in lanai has a very comfortable sectional, as well as a table where you can play cards, games or have a meal. The freeform salt water pool is heated and oh-so-wonderful for a morning dip, an after-the-beach dip, or for an evening swim with the gorgeous blue light illuminating the water.

Wonderful Stay!

My family had a wonderful stay at the Amelia House! Nancy was a very accommodating host. She went above and beyond for us when the power went off upon our arrival. Dropping us off flashlights and batteries and chocolate. This property was so comfortable and my kids loved the pool. It was only a mile from the beach. And the kitchen was stocked. We loved it here! Highly recommend!

Great Location and Lots of Amenities

The Amelia House was located just a few hundred yards off a busy road but still in a quiet neighborhood. Within 5 mins, there were restaurants, drug/grocery stores and easy access to any of downtown Sarasota, Siesta Key or other beaches. The house itself was clean, spacious, had lots of new appliances, but the pool with large backyard really made my staycation worth the 90 minute drive to this cottage getaway! Nancy, the owner, also checked in to make sure everything was as expected. It was.. and better.

Girls Getaway

This property was perfect for our weekend! Located in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to anything you may need. A quick/safe one mile walk gets you to the beach or you can rent bikes. We didn’t have a car and we never felt impeded by this. The house is a cute cottage with all kinds of updates. The host was responsive and incredibly helpful with lots of local recommendations. The owner even took care of keeping the pool heated as it was chilly at night. We will definitely be back!

Fabulous

Owner communication was unbelievably great. She told us when cleaning service was finished so we could get into the house and allowed us to stay later until after the Easter bunny festivities were over. House was well equipped! Pool was wonderful. Beds comfortable. Everything clean. One minor suggestion would be to put a tv in the other 2 bedrooms as we would like to have watched the NCAA late games as we were going to bed.

Peacefully perfect place!!!!!

This house + Nancy = a perfect vacation experience. Let’s summarize the fundamentals first: the house is spotless, the beds super comfortable, the pool is crystal clear. The kitchen is equipped with every pan, plate, utensils you could need. The neighborhood is quiet. The house has a beachy, zen, relaxing vibe. The drive to the beach is 5 min. We went to all the beaches on the island and I was so happy to return back to this house to relax and jump in the pool. There’s cable, books, and games if you want to relax at the house and enjoy some downtime. The best thing about the house is Nancy! She is simply put an amazing host. She really cares and wants you to be comfortable and have a great time. She gives great recommendations for food and things to see, etc. There were a couple times I had a question or needed help—she answered me right away and went above and beyond with assistance. Even before I arrived she was prompt with all her responses and very kind!! I’d never been to Sarasota but suggestions I was able to get the inside scoop on so many things and it really made all the difference. My brother has special needs and when I asked her for places to take him she really thought about the answer and we had a great time. We all thought she was amazing. Vacations are meant to be spent out and about, but to me part of the experience is where you rest in between all the fun. I could not have asked for a better place. Thank you Nancy! Can’t wait to return!
