The water is shallow clear and calm with white quartz-sand tide-pools perfect for sleeping drinking or playing. You can go from the water to lunch or dinner and back to the sand without putting on your shoes.

Deeded access to the Grand Canal across the street.

Had a great stay with our adult kids. Weather wasn’t great but you’re so close to all the shops and restaurants that there’s plenty to do other than the beach! House was great and we had everything we needed. Literally the only negative was when we went to use the bikes and two of the five were broken (there was five of us).

Loved everything about this property. Location was ideal. Parked car and didn’t need it again until we left. Everything was within walking distance. I would highly recommend this place and look forward to coming back soon.

Fantastic family visit, house was comfortable, cozy,unique. Short walk to best features of Siesta Key: restaurants, shops, mini donuts and of course one of the best beaches in the US!

The house was perfect for our stay and proved to be the ideal location. Two blocks to the best restaurants and bars, two blocks to the beach, quiet rear courtyard. The host was quick to help when needed and the property had everything we needed to have a great time. Highly recommended.

This listed was exactly as advertised. We were only about a 5 minute walk to the beach and to the Village. The house included all the beach gear we needed and even had bikes available to use. Would definitely recommend staying here!

The property was beautiful and equipped with everything you need to enjoy your stay. The ocean and village is within a short walking distance so there is no need for a vehicle. Communications with the hosts were great responding within minutes to address all your questions and concerns. I recommend this property to anyone who is looking to stay near the beach and enjoy the surrounding community.

We had a great stay. We were pleasantly surprised by the character and ambiance of the property. It felt like a private resort. We loved being able to walk to the beach, the market, restaurants and shopping!

We loved walking to the beach every morning for coffee and sand dollar hunting! The house was clean, and perfect for our large family, to have a place close to town to walk to- loved meanie donuts every morning, loved having the bikes to take out for a ride. Would for sure stay again!

Just stayed at this sweet bohemian escape near the beach and siesta key village. My family and I loved it so much we want to come back. The home was perfectly equipped with all our needs and even more.

We had a super time here! Clean, nice common garden area, beach toys, cooler, chairs, wagon were a nice bonus. But needs more coffee mugs please. There were 9 of us and only 6 mugs.

There were 11 girls for our friends bachelorette party! Plenty of space, location was key, beds were comfortable, and not having to worry about towels/linens/beach chairs with the bonus of the bikes /paddle boards was awesome! Daniel was very accommodating with early check in and responsive if we needed anything. Great stay!

Easy to navigate. Close to beach and close to village. Unit was nice ... a little aged. The only problem we had was the overhead lights in the upstairs bedrooms coming on spontaneously in the middle of the night. Dan was a great host.

Great location, 2 blocks from grocery store and liquor store. 2-9 blocks to all the best restaurants and live music in the VIllage, 7 blocks to the beach. Loved our stay, place was clean and plenty of room. We could walk everywhere.

Had a very comfortable stay at this home. Used the grill for a few days along with going to some nearby restaurants. The Hub Grill was excellent! It is only a 7 minute walk to the beach and I did additional walking every day. Beautiful home and the best beach!

Had a good stay with seven golf buddies. Walking distance to area amenities is terrific. The house was clean and nice but a little crowded for eight guys. Great location. Owner very easy to work with, no issues

It was a great location, close to everything, didn't realize it was a shared patio with several units.

You can't beat this location for getting out and doing things in Siesta Key. The Casa is spotless and Dan runs his properties with unbelievable efficiency. He's a great organizer and a great communicator. You couldn't ask for a better host. It was a perfect stay. Thank you!

This was a really pleasant stay and perfect for our group. Dan was really responsive and helpful. Check in and out was easy. The backyard is shared and it was entirely clear from the photos that we had the front unit, rather than the back unit with a balcony overlooking the shared yard. It ended up being totally fine, but something to consider.
