About this property
Another Day in Paradise!
Slow it down and relax. Stay on beautiful Siesta Key, home of the #1 beach in the nation! Our separate guest house is the perfect place to enjoy the tranquility of an island paradise vacation, while still located in the heart of Sarasota. The house is an historic Ralph Twitchell mid-century modern, completely remodeled with the latest amenities, 2000 sq. ft. open floor plan, walk-in showers, and gourmet kitchen. You'll enjoy water access with great fishing or sunbathing off our private dock with kayaks on quiet Robert's Bay, or mosey on down to the island beach. Private access to your own private heated swimming pool (see notes below), all of this in your backyard, on this exclusive island cul-de-sac makes the ambiance unbeatable. Every amenity you can imagine is available. We provide it all -- pack light!
PRIVATE AMENITIES INCLUDE
Beach Umbrella, Chairs, Boogieboards, Towels
Private Heated Pool and Outdoor Lounges
Apple TV4 with Live Hulu TV, ESPN+ and Disney+
Entertainment Room with Large Flatscreen TV
Wi-Fi with Mesh Boosting
Outside Grill
MORE INFORMATION
This house is an historic Robert Twitchell home, newly renovated with over $100,000 of improvements. Completely modern while maintaining the Frank Lloyd Wright style. You can read more about Ralph Twitchell and his homes on Wikipedia.
Pool Notes: The private pool is heated and screened in. The pool is kept at 81℉. If you want a warmer pool we can discuss this when you arrive. The heater has a safety feature and automatically shuts off when outside temperatures fall to below 50℉. Why? Because the heater's coolant cannot function properly at lower temps.
The Master Bedroom and Entertainment Room have widescreen TVs with Apple TV4 Live TV, Hulu, Disney+, and ESPN+. There is private high speed FIOS internet throughout the home.
This is a non-smokers home. If you smoke please find other accommodations. Smokers are not permitted to rent the home. It will not be tolerated in or around the property. You will be asked to leave without refund if smoking is detected or we discover that you or a guest is a smoker. Smoking in the home is not the only issue; It's carrying the smell through luggage and clothes into the home. This rule applies to all forms of smoking including e-cigs, vaping, hookah, etc. Any use of illegal drugs will be reported to the authorities. Medicinal Marijuana is not an exclusion to these smoking rules.
No wedding parties or wedding guest may rent the home.
When you and/or your party rent this property you contractually agree to hold harmless the owners in the event of any loss, including but not limited to events that occur while using the kayaks, bikes, tennis court, basketball court, etc.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Brett Cameron Blair

I am an author of children's books. I am married with a daughter and two boys who are active in the Florida tennis community. They are highly ranked players and compete at a national level. The tennis court in the photo separates our two homes. We are happy to help our guest at any level whether that involves assuring total privacy, setting up tennis lessons or pointing out the great sites and activities of our wonderful city.
Why they chose this property
Our guest house is a 2100 sq. ft. mid-century modern home built in 1966 and is old Florida to a tee. No expense was spared when we updated this home. You will have quick access to both Sarasota city life as well as island access to the Siesta Key village and beach. Our neighborhood is quiet and set apart from the loud strip that hugs the beach 3 miles down the road.
What makes this property unique
Private use of your own heated pool, tennis court, basketball goal, dock, bikes, kayaks and bay.
