A Siesta Tropical Retreat - Island Pool Oasis

We stayed for 10 lovely days in this home and I have to say It was an even better location than I expected. Everything you could want to do is in walking distance or you can walk to the village (maybe a 3 minute walk)and hop in a free taxi . The house is well appointed and beds are very comfortable. We traveled with a 10 yr.old, 11yr. old , and 15 yr. old my 15 yr. old niece slept in the trundle bed and commented on how comfortable the bed was. In the kitchen you will find a drawer full of menus for the many nearby restaurants and information for water activities. I highly recommend parasailing while your there ! Considering how close everything is the street is very quiet and the owners were great to deal with. Thanks Kathi and Grant!

My parents and I rented this holiday home for one week in April. We were delighted with the property, it was nicely furnished and had absolutely everything we needed. One of the many positives was the location which was just a few minutes walk to the bars and restaurants in Siesta Key village. This was a real bonus for us as we did not have to drive anywhere at night as it was all on our doorstep. Kathi who owns the villa was great to deal with and always contactable for any questions. The outside space is great and very peaceful despite its close proximity to the village and having a barbecue was a real bonus. I would not hesitate in recommending this property and I very much hope to return to it again in the not too distant future!

This is a great vacation spot with a beautiful pool and not too far from a gorgeous beach! Kathy was very helpful and prompt in answering questions we had while we were there! Thanks for helping us have a great vacation!!:)

My family's vacation at Siesta Key was wonderful at this residence. It was well appointed with everything you would need for a great vacation. The location was perfect, just close enough to the village to walk and yet far enough away to enjoy the quite evening in this tropical location. There was a variety of wild life you could observe from your living room or from the pool. I would recommend this residence to anybody. The owners were very attentive to our needs and made efforts to make sure our stay was enjoyable.

What of a gem this home is. Home away from home ...I couldn't ask for a better stay. Everything was exactly as described ... but better. The pictures don't even do this beach home justice. The pool was exceptionally nice ... my kids lived in it if were weren't at the beach itself. The beach is easy to get to and so incredibly beautiful. Clear water ... white sand. Just gorgeous. The bikes Kathi provided were so useful. We rode all over the village on them. So fun! We are making Siesta Key our annual place to vacation and will choose to stay at Siesta Retreat when we do return! Five stars all the way...

My family and I had a wedding in Sarasota and had never been to the area. With out knowing what to expect and guessing where to stay based on reviews we chose this perfect house that had everything we needed and more. What a surprise and a relief to find that this location was perfect! We were able to ride the bikes provided everywhere we needed to go or walk! The beds were very comfortable and everything was incredibly clean. They have plenty of beach towels, sheets and blankets! We were SO comfortable here and are already talking about going back. The owners of the home could not have been easier to communicate with. They would check in with us and ask us how things were going and were able to give us recommendations but still giving us plenty of privacy and space. You can tell their goal is to make every one have the best possible experience. The beaches are incredibly beautiful and there are an abundance of restaurants and shops in walking distance to the house. The pool was perfect and they have everything you need for the beach- toys, coolers, beach bags. They truly have thought of everything. The showers and bath tub were great. There truly is not one negative thing my family could say about this house or Siesta Key. Looking forward to our future trips back and would truly recommend this to anyone that was looking for a wonderful vacation.

We chose Siesta Key to be close to my sister in law while we stayed to visit. We both have two year olds and loved the idea of having a pool for them to play in. We had no idea we were in for one of the most memorable trips of our lives. This house not only was amazing in every way possible, but Kathi and Grant were so nice and so easy to talk to. This house provided all the comforts of home. The house was even closer than I thought to town and to the beach. We just got back and Im already trying to plan on a trip back asap.

This is one of the best finds in Florida. (I almost want to keep it our little secret) Siesta Tropical Resort truly has it all. We worshipped the very private pool/hot tub from sun up to sundown. The backyard overlooks a canal with great wildlife. We saw jumping fish and unique birds every day. Siesta Key Village is just 1/2 block away which has great restaurants, shops and a great little grocery store that accommodated our needs. The most beautiful beach is right down the street. It is a 10 minute walk or hop on the bikes and you are there in 5 minutes. Great morning beach walks. Incredible sunsets! We love to cook and the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our meals. Thanks for the incredible care given by Kathi and Grant. They made our stay worry free. They obviously take pride in the place. They want your vacation to be the best and they sure succeeded. Definitely felt like home for a week...But with sun, fun and relaxation! We loved it so much, we already booked for next year!!!

We just came back to Europe after some 3 weeks at this house on Siesta Key. Travelling with our six month daughter, convenience was our top priority. Having found this place on the web, I was keen to see it and found that it was all that we wanted and more. It's located minutes walking from the quaint Siesta Key village and USa beach No. 1 and as if this was not enough - the lovely private pool and garden is at your doorstep. The house, pool and garden are all very clean, well maintaned and kitted out with all you need. When crossing the doorstep we imminently felt at home. The owners were extremely helpful from the first inquiry and throughout our stay. I have already recommended this place to friends and will continue to do so.

Look no farther! This place is perfect. Very clean and makes you feel like you are at home. The pool is fantastic and is so refreshing to cool off and lounge at. You couldn't ask for a better location too. The village is right there and so is the beach. Very short walk to both. At night when the Village is busy and the music is going you don't hear a thing outside by the pool. Very relaxing. Did not want to leave. I will for sure be booking this place again next time we go down here. The owners are extremely helpful and there for you any time you need help. I spoke to Kathi almost everyday just because they were so nice and I felt very comfortable with her. Only complaint that I have is that I had to leave!
