About this property

Tranquil private pool home near Siesta Key Beach


Our stylish 2,200 sq.ft. home has been decorated in beach cottage style, an eclectic mix of shabby chic and vintage pieces. It sits high on a large lot in a private road of only 6 homes close to Phillippi Creek with all its wonderful birds and wildlife. Drive or cycle to Siesta Key, one of America's Best Beaches for many years, (10 minutes by car) or visit the fabulous Mall at UTC, many designer names as well as all America's favourite brands. The many varied restaurants of Tamiami Trail are equally close by, many offering take out service. Or simply relax in your own tropical paradise, sparkling heated saltwater pool (less chemicals, kinder to eyes and skin), fully screened in with al fresco eating, large gas grill for the excellent local seafood, and a spacious screened lanai! (No bugs or other unwelcome visitors!)The pool is not overlooked and the whole yard is surrounded by lush tropical landscaping.


Our fabulous beach: https://www.visitsarasota.com/article/siesta-key-no-1-beach-america-just-got-better
For several years Siesta Beach has been voted America's Best Beach and confirmed what we have known for years. The fine white quartz crystal sand has healing powers and is home for many nesting birds and sea turtles. The aquamarine ocean is warm by May/June and remains so until November. A regular morning walk on this stunning beach or a sunset shared with a friend or lover is a magical experience, never to be forgotten. The public beach has full facilities and is busy and popular, we prefer the north end of the key where the beach is tranquil and you can spend hours with a book and enjoy a more secluded experience. The village is only a short walk away with full facilities.

Bedrooms: All our bedrooms have fine linens and comfortable beds, the bathrooms are all white with tile floors, the en suite shower is newly fitted for 2021. We have cupboards full of towels and sheets, duvets for the winter, sufficient extra bedding for 6 to sleep in comfort.
We have a cot and high chair.

Kitchen and dining: When we stay in the house we entertain our many local friends and family and can easily feed 6 on a regular basis, we have lots of pots and pans and crockery/cutlery! Unlike an average rental this is our family retreat and with our 6 children and many grandchildren it has to be on a large scale!

You can park 5 or 6 cars on the drive and most guests agree there is little need or desire to go anywhere once you settle around the pool. Our only problem is we get too relaxed here and never make all the trips we intended!

Our rates are quoted in UK £ and include taxes, electric pool heat, cable and WiFi.

There is a refundable security deposit of $300 to cover breakages.

We accept US $ checks from our returning regular US guests but all other international payments from our regular guests must be made by secure online banking, or VRBO Online Payments for all new VRBO guests.
A MINIMUM STAY OF 1 MONTH WILL APPLY DURING OUR BUSIEST SEASON - JANUARY through APRIL.
At Christmas we ask for a MINIMUM 10 DAY STAY with no arrivals/departures on Christmas Day or New Years Day.
There is a cleaning fee of $300 which can be paid in $ upon departure or deducted from the security/damage deposit, just ask the owner.

Our home away from home
This property for our family was perfect, we had 3 adults and 3 children, it fit our needs perfectly. We felt so comfortable there, it was the perfect location to everything. We watched fireworks on July 4th at the Philippi state park on the docks, recommended by a local A+ it was only 5 mins from the house. You can also put in an kayak there too. They kids swam in the pool everyday. We went to Turtle Beach for the day and evening sunsets, not a lot of people there. We also ate at demitros pizza and Walt’s fish market and restaurant. Both great places. They had equipment for the beach and toys for the kids. We hope to come back soon. It was a wonderful week.

Excellent property!
Susan was very prompt with all communication. The home was beautiful and set up well with everything we could need for a beach vacation. Annalise being next door was so helpful for any issues/questions and she was very responsive and kind. The pool was wonderful and we enjoyed doing many jigsaw puzzles out on the lanai! The property is so close to everything - grocery store, shops, restaurants, and about 10 minute drive from Siesta Key Beach!

About the host

Host profile image
We are British, living year round in Surrey, England. We have been travelling to Sarasota since 1982 when my own parents chose it for their retirement and built a wonderful golf course home.
Our daughter lives next door, manages our property and takes great care of our guests. She has lived in Sarasota since 1991 and she and her husband are in construction with a great portfolio of lovely properties so our own 'home from home' is in excellent hands.
