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!

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.

Really enjoyed the property. The tennis court and basketball hoop was a bonus. I was able to teach my wife Pickleball on it! My son was with his friends and were able to play pick up basketball in the afternoons.Walking to the dock and sitting and watching the boats as a treat. Very accessible to Siesta, Key village and Northbridge. We were able to get lots of sun in the pool as well!Looking forward to staying there again.

Great property and host

We really enjoyed our stay! The property was clean and Brett was a great host. We saw dolphins while kayaking in the bay behind the house and even renewed our wedding vows for our 10th anniversary. Definitely recommend and would stay there again!

Excellent vacation retreat!

Great property with a very attentive and experienced host. House is in a great location for enjoying both the Siesta Key beaches and the city of Sarasota. Host has thought pretty much everything one could need to get the most out of your stay. House has a ton of character while also being well equipped with lots of modern amenities.

Excellent location at the entrance to Siesta Key.

Brett is a great host. We saw dolphins twice from his dock on Robert’s Bay while enjoying the sunset. Location can’t be beat. Relaxing and easy access to Siesta Key Beach, St Armand’s Circle and Sarasota restaurants.

Sensational Spring getaway

pictures do not do house justice on just how spacious, clean and comfortable it really is. By far the best "stocked" VRBO we've ever stayed in ( and we travel a lot)...didn't really need to bring anything other than our personal items and clothes. Check-in with Brett was effortless and informative. He provided great suggestions for dining and activities and was always available to assist with bikes, kayaks, etc....really takes pride in this property and seems to sincerely want residence to enjoy a wonderful stay....will most definitely return.

Enjoyable home

We enjoyed the home very much. Brent was great! Can’t say enough good about him as a host! My daughter slammed her fingers in the sliding door- and he was right there with a first aide kit and where we could take her and check in on her too! The family enjoyed the heated pool. We had a number of amazing dinners that we grilled out. Morton’s market is a wonderful place to buy great food! An enjoyable experience and loved the location! Nice and quiet. The guys got out kayaking and really enjoyed that too. You can’t go wrong here.

Truly paradise

My husband and I were very happy staying at this property. Our hosts, Brett & Cyndi were wonderful. Brett was always available to help us with any questions that we had (primarily with the streaming tv service). The house was well stocked and everything was in good working order. The location and neighborhood were perfect! Loved this location—very easy to be in downtown Sarasota in 10 minutes. The only drawback for us was that the only tv in the house was located in the bedroom but Brett graciously offered to move it into the living room for us which was perfect. The pool, tennis court and dock were all plusses. I would highly recommend this property!

Return Visit

Slip down to the dock in the early morning so the kids can see the schools of fish that pass through. Return at sunset for the chance to see a dolphin sweep past looking for dinner. Grab a kayak and explore the Bay and the neighbourhood from waterside. Anytime is pool time for our young family. There are numerous rings, balls, hoops and diving toys and the pool is warm and shaded. The tennis court is steps away. If you are a tennis family, you will love the shaded and sheltered facility. At night it is a cathedral. You will not find kinder, more thoughtful hosts. The house is well stocked and the Brett is always available should you need anything. We had a wonderful stay.

Excellent clean property and helpful host. The property show some wear due the damage from multiple hurricanes in 2024 but it also shows the restoration the host is painstakingly making. Brett couldn’t be nicer, and is very accommodating. Properly has everything you need per the listing and fun extras like access to the bball and tennis court which we had fun with.. if your vibe is slightly away from the action of the village this is a great listing to book.

About the host

Hosted by Brett Cameron Blair

Host profile image
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.
