Serene yard and pool, 1 mile to beach, pets OK, patio TV, Kayaks

Adorable 2 bed/ 2 bath 1400 square foot home located in Sarasota, FL. This property is located west of US 41 and approximately 1 mile to the south bridge of Siesta Key with close access to beaches. You will love the proximity to Siesta Key without having to get stuck in traffic any time you go on or off the island! Enjoy a quiet residential neighborhood which is great for walking while having restaurants, shops, and attractions all at your fingertips. Walk down the street to the intercoastal where you can enjoy a sunset or fishing off the sea wall. There is a public park nearby (Phillippi Estate Park) as well within walking distance (enjoy a farmers market during season). Enjoy the enclosed patio area with private pool and outdoor seating. The pool can be heated for an additional fee of $20 per day, please let host know prior to arrival if you would like this turned on as it does take a day to get to desired temps. Nature lovers will love the large tropical backyard filled with trees and chirping birds. Enjoy a small outdoor patio table under the string lights or cook s’mores under the stars in the outdoor fire pit. Beautiful original terrazzo floors through with open kitchen floor plan. 1 dog allowed with prior owner approval and paid pet fee. Dog must be over 1 year old and well mannered. Please keep off furniture and pick up after. The home's water supply is on a well and although we do have a filtration system/softener, we do not recommend drinking the water for taste reasons. The water is perfectly fine for cooking, bathing, washing dishes, brushing teeth, etc..but we suggest bringing spring water to drink. Enjoy 2 complimentary beach chairs, umbrella, beach towels, & a cooler for a relaxing day at the beach! We have an electric pump so bring a raft too! * Please note there is a 25 foot RV parked off to the side in driveway (this is not in use during your stay or occupied, only parked there).

Perfect little getaway

“Absolutely loved my stay at this cute Florida house in Sarasota! The host was lovely, kind, and so accommodating — made everything easy and stress-free. The home had everything I needed for a quick weekend trip (wish I could’ve stayed longer!). Adorable decor, nice neighborhood, and the surprisingly huge backyard with the pool was the cherry on top. Highly recommend!”

Family Reunion

Cottage style! Love this home. Usually where I stay I don’t really take in what the place has to offer. This is home is a vacation within a vacation. We enjoyed BBQing, the pool, relaxing in the hammock. We connected and felt relaxed and safe. Our purpose was to attend a family reunion that was an easy 20 minutes to get to. Both Carrie and Flynt were wonderful hosts. We definitely returning back!

My family of four loved this vacation home. We have a 14 year old and a 12 year old plus a small dog and this home was perfect for us. My daughter loved the pool and my husband enjoyed the bikes. The neighborhood is very quiet and safe. You are only a mile from the south bridge to Siesta Key. We would definitely stay again and will recommend to others. Thanks Carrie!

Perfect beach getaway

We wanted to stay close to the beach and restaurants and this home was perfect. The house had a cooler, beach chairs and umbrella so less things to pack which is great. The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. The host also had a book with some recommendations for restaurants and things to do which is helpful when trying to to figure out what to do after a lovely day at the beach.

Overall experience at property was excellent. Home was very comfortable, clean, with nice lanai area & private back yard. Quiet neighborhood worked well for dog walking. Traffic flow on local roads to Siesta Key was smooth, given Spring Break was taking place. Good access to public beach entry points. Nice selection of neighborhood restaurants. Very enjoyable stay !

This was the perfect place for our family’s vacation! Everything was the same as the description. The neighborhood is very safe and it feels extremely private while enjoying the pool and patio area. Short easy drive to Siesta Key Beach for the white sand, Ocean Blvd for great food and shopping, and Caspersen Beach Park in Venice to find shark teeth.

Highly recommend this property

We loved our stay at this property! The property was very clean and nicely decorated. The check-in process was really easy and efficient. The location was wonderful. We were able to walk to the beach (or a very short drive) and there was a restaurant, water sports rental, ice cream shop and souvenir shops just a short walk across the bridge. The neighbourhood is lovely and quiet and we enjoyed our walks. The Host is very friendly and responsive to communications. I would highly recommend this property and we look forward to returning in the future.
