Perfect Getaway!
"What a perfect getaway! So much fun and the house was perfect!
Normally we opt for the condo on the beach, but took a risk on booking a house "near" the best beach in the country. From the minute of booking, Joni (owner) was extremely friendly and helpful with supplying information about the location and how to get the most out of our vacation. She met us the first day and was super helpful with where to go (like groceries), things to do, and when to do them (get to the beach early!). She was very attentive and did check in to make sure everyting was going well. The house was perfect, the pool and the size for our family. The kids loved the space and we felt very safe and comfortable since arriving. The neighborhood is beautiful and great for exploring. The beach is super close and there are many different services available to get there if you don't want to drive. On days the kids didn't want to go to the beach, the pool was perfect with the perfect amount of sunshine- the overhangs were perfect when the sun was too much. The grill, bikes, beach chairs were all awesome to use and made us feel like we were at home away from home. Thank you Joni! It was a great week!

Relaxing Vacation
" Enjoyed the pool area, clean and private. It was a real advantage being able to park in the garage every day, this saved time in loading and unloading and was much more convenient in general than most rentals. Communication with the landlord was smooth when some small issues cropped up.

Great last minute getaway
"Great last minute getaway
5/5 Great last minute getaway This was not our first stay in Siesta Key but it was our first time staying somewhere that wasnt directly on the beach, and we booked later than we normally would have. The price was great, the check in process was very smooth and the host even met us at the house despite being delayed on our flight to ensure we had everything we needed. The house was very clean and the pool was wonderful, and especially given how warm its been and that we were there during an unfortunate no swim advisory at the beach. The hosts were very responsive and attentive to all our needs, and went above and beyond to ensure we had a good time. 8/2/2022 at 6:04 PM

I definitely suggest kayaking the mangrove tunnels and the surrounding area to see the dolphins and manatees. The Marie Selby botanical gardens were beautiful as well. Get an early lunch, enjoy the pool, and go out and do some more while everyone else is eating. Don't forget to take a midnight swim as well.

We would like to say thank you to Joni for going above and beyond in every aspect of renting out an Airbnb! We had a great vacation because house was close to Siesta key beach! Also granddaughter especially loved the pool! you have a great attitude and follow the house rules everyone will have a pristine vacation! We will be back to Siesta Key in the future!

Nice Place to stay
"I would have given a 5 star rating if we would have had more control of the thermostat. 74 degrees was the coldest is would go and within and hour or so would go back up to 78 degrees. I was also a little put off about the no shoes policy due only one room in the house had carpet and it was not necessarily "nice" carpet. Overall though it was an nice place we enjoyed ourselves a lot."
Host Reply
Thanks so much, we were glad to have you. Glad you enjoyed the house. And I get it!!!... but during the day when it is high noon, the temp is 78 and it goes down as the day goes on, it's the only way we can prevent people from leaving the air blasting all day at low temperatures while not home. You have control, TURN the dial when you're home. At night it gets cold. The blue carpet in the guest room is a soft-med, tight-weave blue it's supposed to be that color. We have white tile and everyone likes it clean and bacteria-free as much as possible. Otherwise, people bring in sand and dirt. We have learned what to do to keep our house clean and fresh. Glad you appreciated it too. We are booked 52 weeks of the year and we do not have time to be down between guests It's not fair. Thanks, Michelle and Charlie...

Location is great
"The location is perfect. Only a mile from the beach. The house was clean and comfortable enough with everything you need. A couple of downfalls that brought down my rating was the AC thermostat was locked and controlled. We were definitely a little warm at times. The previous renters broke glass by the pool and there were little bits of glass everywhere (hard to notice and clean up because the patio surface is pebbled). At check out, the owner showed up early to start outdoor work. She alerted me but it felt a little intrusive since we had about an hour left until check out. Overall, owner was very nice and helpful with activities, restaurants and making us feel at home. Again, overall, we enjoyed our stay."

Melany, We loved having your family. I was surprised to see you had invited other guest without our consent. *I was 30 min. early due to forecast heavy rain. As promised, you were using blankets at night, as temperatures dictated, with our high eff. 17 seer air wave/cool-dry dehumidifier, ac. Glad you decided to use the flip flops we provide for the lanai use. Being less than a mile from the beach, a route without traffic w/ beautiful bike lanes and jogging /walking paths, always appreciated by guests..., (who wants to sit in traffic?) ....We look forward to seeing you and your family again... glad you had a wonderful time. Please remember, all guest must be accounted for on reservations, prior to arrival, an industry standard and liability.

Short stay
"We enjoyed the home. Did not like the no visitors policy. We had family who lived close buy and we could not have them over."

Thank you, and we so enjoyed having your family, a plus that you are from my home state! ... It can be disappointing about visitors; however, we can only accommodate 4 persons, only those on the reservation. Our HOA is strict as all are. They want to promote a peaceful, safe and low key environment for the community residents that call this their home. Thank you so much for your review... Joni and Michael

Location,Cleanliness and Hospitality
"Location, Cleanliness and Hospitality describe this charming home to a "T". Being avid travelers around the country and world, this was our 1st visit to Siesta Key for spring break 2018 with 2 teen aged sons. Upon our arrival we met Joni at the home and this is truly a "home away from home" setting. Not being able to find something directly on Siesta Key Beach due to it being Easter Week and spring break for many, we couldn't have selected a better location than this home. It has all the amenities of home plus being a very short distance to the #1 Beach in all of Florida. The neighborhood is quiet with nice homes contained within it. Siesta Key Village with all the lovely shops and excellent restaurants as well as the beautiful Beach were just within biking distance. When we didn't get up early enough to secure a parking spot down at the beach, we loaded up the car, dropped everyone and everything needed for the day and then my husband headed back to park car at home and then pedaled bike back to join us. The house is very clean and neatly kept. The "extra" amenities in the kitchen were very much appreciated. Thank you so very much Joni for your kindness and hospitality. Siesta Key was everything you said it would be plus more. We definitely had a Wonderful time and made some lasting memories with our sons for Spring Break."

Debra and family, Thank you so very much for your fabulous review. I am so impressed and shocked at how SO CLEAN your family left the property. Your sons, such gentleman, were more than I could expect from teenage travelers. you and your husband so kind; I truly, upon meeting you knew your family was 'salt of the earth' people. I so wish you could have stayed longer.... especially since you were going back to recent snowfall in April. So happy you all had the opportunity to have a fabulous SUNNY week on the #1 Beach in the USA. Please stay in touch. And, hope to see you again, for a longer stay. Anyone would love to have you as guest in their home. God Bless.... Joni

Love Siesta Key, Sarasota
"The house was adorable and had plenty of space for my husband, me, and our two children. It was great that the owner provided the basics like linen, soap, trash bags, etc. The pool area is beautiful but unfortunately was too cold to use (the first week of April). I had a work conference to attend in Sarasota and the location was convenient. The beaches were a quick drive away, as well. The only thing that could have improved our stay would have been the ability to adjust the AC ourselves. It seemed to be remotely locked and at times would be 78 in the house, though was cooler in the evenings. Also, resigning a contract for the rental on arrival was no issue, but I was a little surprised individual photos of all of us were taken including our 1 and 3 year olds. Overall we were pleased with our stay and will come back every spring as we have to the Sarasota, Siesta Key area!"

Thought about you all today.... we planted the new yellow ixora in the front... it has really warmed up this week, unlike the perfect breezy- sunny weather we had when you were here. Your visit was waaay too short. But the weather is changing back to sunny and breezy like when you were here. in several days... very cool at night and low 70's day, we appreciate those temps.... The girls are adorable.... such a fabulous family you are....Glad I got your pictures! We do delete them when guest leave. But I think I mention that somewhere the on the site, that we check guest in as does a hotel. It's mainly for safety reasons, We have an airwave thermostat which is nice for fluctuating temps, but you can adjust it at the wall too, 76 is the low. ...And the new air conditioner fits fabulously in the garage, after some rearranging....... So happy you all had a fabulous stay... though April this year did not offer the heat needed for the beach..., Maybe next year will.....Hugs to the girls, time for me to get to bed ... .... Joni

Siesta Key Vacation
"Enjoyed our stay in Siesta Key. Older Florida home in cozy neighborhood with pool. Near beaches, restaurants, bars, grocery, shopping, and pharmacies. Plenty to do, or nothing to do...your choice. I needed some down time and this was just the ticket. Can't wait to go back."

Location is great
"The location is perfect. Only a mile from the beach. The house was clean and comfortable enough with everything you need. A couple of downfalls that brought down my rating was the AC thermostat was locked and controlled. We were definitely a little warm at times. The previous renters broke glass by the pool and there were little bits of glass everywhere (hard to notice and clean up because the patio surface is pebbled). At check out, the owner showed up early to start outdoor work. She alerted me but it felt a little intrusive since we had about an hour left until check out. Overall, owner was very nice and helpful with activities, restaurants and making us feel at home. Again, overall, we enjoyed our stay."
