You can go from the water to lunch or dinner and back to the sand without putting on your shoes.

The location allows for easy access to the beach and the village of Siesta Key. The three bedrooms easily accommodate multiple people with privacy. The kitchen could have more glassware. The washer and dryer were a nice feature as was the deck for morning coffee and the beach chairs and umbrella.

Family getaway of 4. Pros: * excellent location!! Easy short walk to restaurants, stores and bars and the beach! Market was 2 blocks away if you forget anything. * house was spacious with 4 of us, plenty of room * allowed pets so we were able to bring our dog on vacay with us!* everything in the house was clean* good size beds in the house. 2 king beds and 4 full beds * small balcony and shared space in the back to sit outside and enjoy the sun and fresh air* helped a lot to have a washer and dryer available * plenty of beach towels and chairs!! Less things to packCons:* construction going on in the unit next door all week* house is really a 2 bedroom and 2 bath. One room upstairs is in a loft that they added doors but lacked privacy. The sound carries throughout the house and we heard every peep including our dog snoring at night. * the house can sleep 12 but there wasn’t enough silverware and bowls for the 4 of us. We had to wash dishes every day. * the house came with dish soap but no other basic cleaning products for us to clean up after ourselves. I had to go buy Clorox wipes I’ve stayed in a number of VRBOs over the years and this is gets 5 stars for location and communication with the owner. Checked in on us and gave clear check in and check out (basically nothing to be done!) instructions. But overall the house lacked a number of basic essentials that would’ve made our stay much better.

Great and easy communication with the host. House is in a great location!
6 / 10Average·Jan 2026
Great location, right next to the beach, which was a big plus for us. The host was very responsive and kind throughout our stay, which we truly appreciated.The house itself is comfortable, but it could benefit from some updates and maintenance. For example, the bathtub water stopped working at one point, some drawers could use attention, and the bicycles would be better if they were in a more maintained condition.Regarding pricing, we understand this was during high season. We did notice that nearby properties offered more amenities (such as a pool, jacuzzi, and additional bedrooms) for a similar price, but we also recognize that it’s not an apples-to-apples comparison due to the seasonality.Overall, taking all of this into consideration, we felt this rating was fair and reflective of our experience.
