Steps from Lido Beach & St. Armands Circle
It was a nice clean place. I would definitely stay at Robert's place again. It right around the corner from St. Armands Circle and close to beach. They had everything you need for your stay houseware and beach stuff.

Gorgeous Home / Heated Pool and Spa
Another great stay at this house! Love the location, very clean throughout, has everything you would need and more. We spent most of our time in covered outdoor area which has lots of seating options, the pool/hot tub is perfect! The only small issue we had was the door to the pool does not lock securely, therefore adding a safety risk if you have young children. It needs to have an added safety lock on top or something to that nature.

Siesta Key Serenity At The Palm Bay Club
Super clean, quiet, comfy bed. We enjoyed the bayside pool. Nice views. Palm Bay club nice benefit as after a short walk over to the beach we enjoyed the chaises delivered and set up close to the water and hole drilled for our beach umbrella. Amazing sand is not over rated. Warm gulf waters and easy entry and exit. Breeze Trolley with their app made getting around without driving convenient . Lots of fun food and shops minutes away. This bayside spot a was a delight.

Longboat Key-OCEAN FRONT- on the beach
Absolutely loved our stay! The place was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The location was perfect—just steps from the beach with stunning views and peaceful surroundings. Cindy was incredibly responsive and welcoming. We’ll definitely be back—highly recommend

Now NEW AUG Openings! Sarasota #1 Lux BEACH Villa
We had a fantastic stay! The beach was just a short walk away and so easy to access, which made our days relaxing and stress-free. The private pool was a huge hit—our kids were entertained for hours, and it gave us plenty of time to unwind. Christopher was incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. You can tell he truly cares about his guests’ experience. We would absolutely stay here again!

5min to Siesta, Heated Pool & Jacuzzi, Grill, WiFi
Our stay was amazing, Ven was a great host, unfortunately there are always minor issue that come about when staying in properties but their communication was so great it over shadowed all of our concerns! Thank you for the stay!

Putt 'n Plunge Paradise: 3/2 15 mins to Beach!
I love love this place. What a beautiful peaceful house. I rented the house for me and my daughters, we had an amazing time there. The house comes with everything you need for a getaway. It’s close to so many beaches, restaurants, shopping and grocery stores. Only 15 min away from my favorite beach which is Lido Beach. Erinn is a lovely host, communicating immediately and extremely friendly. I would definitely stay here again :).

Siesta Key Cottages Crescent 1B Beach/Pool/Hot Tub
This cottage was perfect for me, my husband, and our baby girl. We had the pool to ourselves the whole time, which isn’t guaranteed but was great. Weather was perfect. The beach is so close and so nice. The area has beautiful, large homes, which made for nice scenery when we walked. I really liked the location of this place vs the north end of Siesta Key. It was less crowded and very easy to navigate places. Dave, the property manager, was amazing. He was very informative, friendly, responsive, and helpful.

Aloha Villa Pet Friendly 3 miles to Siesta Key #2
I visited Sarasota with my family from the state of Rhode Island from April 4 to April 7 and we stayed at Jason’s & Laura house and it was an amazing experience. The house was very clean and organized. The house is located on a great neighborhood, super safe and great amenities. The house was stocked with beach supplies like beach chairs, beach towels, a boogie board and a beach cooler that was so nice. The house was exactly what we were expecting, I would recommended to everyone. Thank you Josh and laura.

Vacation Paradise Close to Beach!
What a beautiful home! It had all the comforts and convenience of being home. Jane was very responsive to any questions we had.

Tropical Paradise - Private Pool - Close Beaches
Will definitely stay again if I ever come back this way. I wanted a place that had a private pool and was pet friendly. I got both. The neighborhood is peaceful. The house is very spacious and clean. One downside, there is no tv in the master bedroom but that was fine too. Don’t need to be in bed with a pool like this one. Thank you for allowing me to stay.

Sarasota Pool House
This was our second time staying at Lubos pool house. We really enjoyed our stay and are already looking far time to escape back. Great location near restaurants, stores and beaches. Back yard and pool are a dream and very peaceful.

Siesta Key, FL - Casa Berano
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was a private and calm place to come home to after our long beach days. We enjoyed spending our nights out by the pool. The pool lights we a nice touch. Would recommend to those who enjoy being in a quiet area.

Home away from home mins to Siesta Beach!
Melissa has a beautiful place and is a wonderful host. Extended our stay one day due to a last-minute change. Very responsive and helpful! Cannot recommend the location more - quiet, close to everything you need. Stay here while in Sarasota...unless we're there!!

Sarasota Sandpiper: 4 Bed/3 bath + Pool
We had 3 adult dads and 3 teenage sons stay for 5 nights to compete at the US Rowing Youth Nationals at Nathan Benderson Park and the house was perfect. Yvonne was very attentive to our last minute booking. Bedrooms were perfect for the amount of people, kitchen was well stocked to handle 6 people plus more. We grilled out one night and the propane grill was perfect. We hit the pool once and was the perfect size. Bathrooms were very clean and neighborhood was quiet at night. House was in close proximity to the park as well as other restaurants so worked out for the back and forth daily driving that we did. Highly recommend Yvonne’s home for future groups/families

Super Clean! 2/2 condo Walk to SKey!

Near Downtown/Beach | Tropical Villas Venice Beach
Honestly, one of our best trips. The location, price, amenities, ease. Couldn't have asked for a better place. Martin and his staff were amazing. Even had a lavender candle gift left for our anniversary. Would love to go back. Between my wife and I, I can say this was one of our best Florida vacations.

Beach, Village, Dock & Private Pool! One-of-a-kind
Marko’s family home was beautiful, charming, and spotlessly clean. The home is perfectly located, walkable to beautiful beaches and great restaurants and shops, including the market. Marko was extremely hospitable, ensured we were all set and gave wonderful recommendations. We loved this place and will be back again next year. Thank you!

5 minutes to private Siesta Key Beach + 2 pools
Solen was an amazing host—very responsive, friendly, and helpful throughout our stay. She even brought us a brand-new can opener when we needed one! The house was spotless, cozy, and located in a great area. We had a wonderful time and would definitely stay again!

Pickleball | Heated Pool | Game Room | 4 Min to Be
We had a great time. Super clean, beautiful home, full of extras. The property has many things to do and keep everyone entertained. Great communication, definitely one of our favorite vacation homes. Can’t wait to stay here again!!!

The Sea is Calling
This house was beautiful and we felt right at home! The pool was wonderful!! They provided everything you need for a beach/ pool vacation. We loved it, would stay again if in the area!!

SIESTA BEACH HOUSE HEATED POOL☀️🌴3 MIN TO BEACH!!
Great place, very clean and had everything we needed. Instructions very clear and the pie waiting for us in the fridge was much appreciated! The beach gear was a nice touch, just a pity the weather wasn’t kind to us.

"Charming Pool Home 1 Mile from Siesta Key"
The house was really great as were the hostesses. There were a few things like the air having to be set to 73 and no lower that seemed a bit odd for a summer day in Florida, but there were a ton of ceiling fans that helped keep things cool. The back yard and pool were a perfect little escape and it was a quick uber ride to some nice restaurants. If you want to be walking distance to the beach/water this may not be what you are looking for but Siesta Key is still less than a 20 minute car ride. Overall I would definitely stay with this group again. Instructions were clear and responsiveness/attentiveness was on point!
