The house is exactly as pictured. You won’t be disappointed with the house, location for short drive to Siesta Key, or the responsiveness of Alice, the host. My husband and I, along with our dog, rented the house for a 2 week stay. The first week, we spent more time locally than planned, since the weather was cloudy and chilly—not exactly beach weather.
The Florida room had sliders so that I could work remotely without noise or interruption. The house was immaculate. The furniture and appliances were new; comfortable beds with new mattresses. The neighborhood is extremely quiet. We enjoyed morning, afternoon, and evening walks in the neighborhood with sidewalks and bike paths. The bike ride to Siesta Key Beach was about 35-40 minutes. And about a 15 minute bike ride to pick up the Legacy Trail. The closest Publix market and shopping area was an easy 15 minute walk or 5 minute drive.
Shout out to Ride and Paddle on Siesta Key for friendly, helpful staff in renting and delivering bicycles to the house.
Probably pretty standard these days—but we did have to get used to only having streaming services for the smart TV.
We had an issue with the propane tank for the grill and within 3 hours the owner brought a brand new grill. An other questions that I had through the week were answered promptly by Alice. It would be nice to have outdoor lighting for grilling and patio dining, but we did make Alice aware of this.
If the house wasn’t already booked through March of next year, we would be back next February.
