About this property

“MOONMIST” Siesta Key villa with private hot tub in a 'jungle' setting

Moomist Villa is an idyllic setting to relax and rewind. It is located within Polynesian Gardens across the street from beautiful Siesta Key beach (Number 1 on the list of Top 10 most beautiful beaches in the USA). Out the front door you have a “peek-a-boo” view of the bay with boats cruising by. Out the back sliding doors you look on an ancient oak covered with resurrection fern, orchids & bromeliads & a stone path to your own private hot tub in the middle of the jungle of tropical flora.
When you walk in the front door you will be captivated by the arched ceiling painted to look like the sky. The living room is charming & tropical, the sun porch/TV room is comfy and cozy . The kitchen is properly “beachy” with open shelves & bamboo countertops. The master bedroom with a king bed & wicker chests is a sanctuary ala Tommy Bahama style. The second bedroom has twin beds and is bright & Floridian.
SORRY: NO Smoking & NO Pets


AMENITIES:
The unit is fully furnished & equipped. It has 3 TVs ( 1 smart TV & 2 old models), VCR player, stereo system, etc. There is wi-fi access. The community fishing pier is at the end of the street & the heated pool is around the corner. Walk across the street to miles of white sugar-sand beach (1/3 mile -- or take the free trolley that will drop you off at the public beach).

Dreamy but in need of attention
This house is sheer perfection if it were properly maintained… the screen doors and sliders needed to be addressed as opening and closing them in the back of the house to the garden was near impossible… the layout of the house is wonderful as their is a bedroom and bathroom at either ends of the house which allows for great privacy when vacationing with friends.. the back yard is liveely as is the vegetation but the hot tub I fear is so moldiy because if the old cover, that if you have breathing issues it should be avoided.. I was there for two months and no one ever added any proper chemicals to the water in the hot tub .. after I let Jeannette know about the screen problem as I had also brought it to her attention when I stayed there about 5 years ago!!!! She said she would speak to her handy man and I was there another three weeks and no handy man ever came.. the sliding door in the bedroom remained open about 6 inches during my stay in January, the coldest January on record.. so.. as much as I loved the location, the house , and Siesta Key, until those issues would be resolved I would not stay at this dreamy spot again.. and it breaks my heart because I Do love everything about that Moonmist Villa.. except the sliders!!!

Polynesian
Great location,perfect as a base to explore the area from Bradenton down to port Charlotte.We all love the pier looking onto the intra coastal waterway,saw dolphins and manatees in the wild..Fabulous.As golfers there are plenty of courses within an hours drive.Lots of restaurants of all types and prices are easily accessible with or without a car.Pity that there isn’t a beach access a little closer but the free trolley bus is great .Villa has everything you could want and any issues were dealt with by the owner.

Cozy
Only issue we really had is there could not be any food left on either side of the kitchen countertop. If you did so, it would be covered in small brown sugar, ranch. As well the thermostat was locked at 72° and we could not turn in any lower than that. My wife has cancer and recent chemo and severe hot flashes and would have been nicer to get the room colder than 72°.

I grew up on the beach in NC and now live on the beach in Sarasota -- always a beach girl. There's something about being near the sea that is good for the soul.
