About this house rental
Spend your vacation in tropical paradise on Siesta Key. The Heron Lagoon Hideaway is a spacious 4-bedroom, 4-bath, 2,650 sq. ft private home on Heron Lagoon, nestled between the turquoise waters surrounding Siesta Key. Enjoy sunset lagoon views, swimming in our heated pool, and lounging on our outdoor decks.
The Heron Lagoon Hideaway is perfect for families and travelers looking for a peaceful and private retreat near the famous silky white sand of Siesta Key.
About the space:
In the Heron Lagoon Hideaway, you’ll find a semi open-layout with hard-wood floors, abundant windows, 9-foot tall ceilings, and plenty of natural light. In the center is a chef’s kitchen and breakfast bar, equipped with everything you need for a great stay – cooking utensils, pots & pans, an electric range, microwave, dishwasher, air fryer toaster oven, high-speed blender, and coffee pot. A dual sink includes a garbage disposal and filtered drinking waterspout. Surrounding the kitchen is a dining room with seating for eight, a sitting alcove, a work/study desk area, and a family room with a couch, two lounge chairs, and 65" 4K TV.
Off the dining room is a small deck with a bar table, perfect for enjoying your morning coffee and a view of the pool and lagoon. Two french doors off the family room will lead you to a larger deck, with a Weber gas grill and outdoor seating. A few steps down from the main-level is our heated pool, with cushioned lounge chairs surrounded by lush tropical foliage that provides shade in the morning and late afternoon. Walk down a long private dock through the mangroves to go fishing or launch a rental kayak or paddle-board. On the side of the house you’ll find a cold water shower spigot for rinsing off after the beach.
On the main living level, you’ll find a bedroom with a queen bed, closet, and TV. A few steps away in the hallway, is a full bathroom with a shower and a laundry room with a full-size washer and dryer. Up 8 steps to the mid-level is a Bedroom with a king bed, 46” HDTV and a private en-suite bathroom with a bathtub/shower. The top level is another 8 steps up with two rooms: a bedroom with two twin beds, a private en-suite bathroom, and walk-in closet. And the spacious Master Suite with a king bed, walk-in closet, 55” HDTV and bathroom with jetted 2-person spa tub, dual vanities and separate shower. A screened-in, private balcony directly off the Master Suite overlooks the lagoon and is a great place to unwind and enjoy the sunset.
The house is fully air-conditioned with two zones and has additional ceiling fans throughout the home for your comfort. We have high-speed WIFI (1 GB/second) throughout the house and pool area, for all of your work-from-home or streaming needs. All bedroom TVs have YouTube TV and, through Roku, you can access your own streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, etc. You’ll also have signed-in access to Disney+, AppleTV+ and our digital library of over 300 blockbuster movies. Complete usage instructions of all electronics are provided in our house manual.
Location & Other Things to Note:
Conveniently located, The Heron Lagoon Hideaway is a one-mile walk or bike to Turtle Beach (South) or 1.4 miles to Crescent Beach (North) and one mile to the closest shops & restaurants. Parking is ample on the property with a two-car garage and outdoor parking spot.
Guests are welcome to use our bike, beach chairs, and umbrellas. For tranquility, only kayaks, rowboats and other non-motorized vessels are allowed on the lagoon. Kayaks, paddle boards, fishing gear, and beach supplies can be rented in town. For families with children, please note that there is no safety gate to the pool or lagoon.
To save you the hassle of parking at the beach, you can bike, walk, or take the Free Siesta Key Trolley that runs 10am-10pm between both ends of the Key with convenient stops to access the shops and beach. A short drive off the key is a Publix supermarket, Costco, and Target, as well as plenty of restaurants and activities.
We look forward to welcoming you to our slice of paradise at the Heron Lagoon Hideaway!

This place is very comfortable and quiet. It's on a closed lagoon so you won't see/hear any power boats, and it's great for kayaking. The house is very close to both Crescent and Turtle beach, and also a kayak/bike rental place near Stickney Point so it didn't take long to get kayaks when we wanted them. The garage is spacious with room for two vehicles. The beds are comfortable and the upstairs bedroom has a beautiful view. The pool is relaxing and well-maintained. One reason I picked this house is it has four bedroom as well as four bathrooms. The middle floor tended to get a little warmer during the day but it also has it's own A/C which was awesome to cool things down quickly at bedtime! The kitchen is very complete, just pick up a few things you like from the grocery store and you'll be all set here. We also used the grill one night and it is in great condition.
If you're okay with not being right on the beach you'll have a hard time finding a better place than this one.

We had a wonderful three weeks in this beautiful house. It was our second stay and it was even better than the first. The house was immaculate as the last time. Fully stocked kitchen with sharpened (!) knives. Updated TV’s with super easy access to streaming and live programs. Very responsive owners when minor problems arose. The house is great for a couple and perfect with visiting friends as there is plenty of room. The dock at the lagoon is a dream in the mornings and at sun set a magical place. The tropical garden is a pleasure to look at and you can forget the bustle of Siesta Key and believe you are in a tropical paradise. We will be back!

My family enjoyed a relaxing and peaceful holiday in this Heron Lagoon property. My daughter enjoyed the pool and I enjoyed kayaking on the lagoon....we all enjoyed watching the ospreys, northern cardinal, carolina wrens and anhingas in the surrounding tree tops and listening to their calls with our morning cup of tea! The lagoon is so peaceful, especially early morning and at sunset, with fish jumping out and pelicans flying over. We even saw an otter. We also enjoyed the 4th of July fireworks from the dock and the upstairs balcony.
We made good use of the Siesta Key Trolley bus (which picks up and drops off right outside the house) and visited many local attractions, as well as a few further afield.
The house was a lovely size for our family of 5, so we had plenty of space. Lauri was very efficient and quick to respond to any questions that we had. We spent a few of our days at Turtle Beach, as it is just a 2/3 minute car journey away, but we also drove further out to Nokomis beach.
Overall, we had a very enjoyable time. Thank you for letting us stay in your home.
Amanda and family.

The house was better than its online listing. The layout of the ground floor with the central kitchen, the tv room with comfy arm chairs and a central sofa, the adjacent living room and following dinning area perfect. Combine this with two decks overlooking the pool, garden and lagoon, one for dining the other for enjoying a glass of wine or a private chat, and you everything you need for everyone having his favorite spot. And the best: the tropical view from the house to the lagoon. Lush greens, squawking birds, jumping fish make this a paradise. Sitting on the deck on the lagoon in the morning or watching sunset with a glass of wine are picture perfect.
The master bedroom is spacious and airy, the ensuite bathroom with shower and jacuzzi is huge and the best part: the balcony again with the view over the grounds and lagoon, competes for the peaceful morning coffee with dock on the lagoon.
The rest of the house is as described. The pool beautifuk
All shops are in easy reach over the bridge to the main land. You must go to Detwilers Farmer Market on Clark Rd to find the best veggies, meat and seafood. We were blown away
