All linens and plush towels are provided, along with starter toiletries such as paper towels, toilet paper, shampoo, soap, dish liquid, sponges, and kitchen towels.

First time visiting Siesta Key, and we couldn’t be happier with our stay! The house was beautiful, the location was perfect, and communication with Lisa was outstanding from start to finish.We stayed as a family of four and had plenty of space to relax and spread out. That said, we spent most of our time enjoying the beach and the village—both of which were an easy walk from the house.This property exceeded our expectations, and we’ll absolutely be staying here again on our next trip to Siesta Key!

The cottage is a great location about a block from the beach, the most beautiful white sand beach, Siesta Key and a wonderful veterans memorial tribute every night at sunset. The beach is pristine the cottage had everything we needed. The check in was a breeze. The main street was a few blocks the other way and great restaurants and shopping. We really enjoyed our stay.
