About this property

Siesta Key offers an affordable St. George Island vacation experience. Enjoy relaxing in the 2nd home to be built on St. George Island. Siesta Key is a true Florida cottage built in the 50's the home offers the comfort that can only be found in a quiet beach cottage.

Siesta Key is a short walk from the sandy beaches of St George Island and a stone's throw from the lighthouse and Blue Parrot restaurant. With easy access to the town and the water, there is always plenty to do while staying at Siesta Key. If you are in the market for something fancy this is not for you. Siesta Key is a great place to kick back, do some fishing-beaching and enjoy the simpler things in life.

The home has 3 bedrooms- 1 king, 1 queen and 2 twins. In the living room enjoy the sofa and flat-screen TV. Enjoy a warm cup of coffee in the comfortable kitchen or take it on the rooftop patio while watching the waves.

In the evening enjoy the deck off the front of the house and grill the catch of the day.

Nice Place

We stayed 9 nights. Everything about Siesta Key is serviceable. Nothing is fancy or like the big fancy homes on SGI, but it is everything you need. Warm,dry, and close to the beach. It reminds me of lake cottages back home. Historic and functional.

Family Christmas Trip

The house has a lot of character. Plusses are proximity to the beach, pool (although we did not use it), one story layout, clean. Downside: need some renovations to make it feel a little safer for families with young children and elderly. Overall, an enjoyable stay for our family.

Inaccurate property descriptions

We recognize the description stated the house is the 2nd oldest on the island. But the very selective photos and how they were portrayed was misleading. I’ll be to the point - the driveway is completely destroyed and needs to be replaced it literally is in chunks, the deck around the house is a complete liability the deck screws protruding out of deck boards, many of the deck boards are curling up and unsecured, the pool fence is equally in need of maintenance, overall condition of house exterior is horrible, the “roof top deck”you’d be risking life and limb to go up on that dilapidated structure it should be taped off, kitchen floor tiles are not even glued down and slide all over, shower towel bar broken maws “repaired” with chartreuse painters masking tape, the amount of trash and garbage around the entire property outside was insane - old window AC unit broken glass, out window screens chewing tobacco container used to hold water supply line in place, beer cans and food containers, threatening FAKE sign stating “CAMERAS ON” please, fridge vegetable drawer in back yard, dirty old floor mop left by the deck stairs, tv cables looked like a rats nest inside, the list can go on an on. I have photos of every infringement I have mentioned. We had a great trip but NONE of it was related tour rental. The owners need to re-evaluate renting if repairs are not made.

Perfect for our Family

We had a wonderful week at Key West!! Walk to the beach was so easy and the pool was great to have. House was well stocked and our family enjoyed the screened in porch. There were even floats and beach toys there. Would stay again for sure.

The perfect vintage cottage for our beach getaway!

When booking for our trip, the only things our group had in mind were: relaxation, comfortability and closeness to the beach. Siesta Key offered all of that and a little more! It’s a quaint and comfy cottage that had the guests in our party feeling like they were on vacation the moment they stepped inside. We really enjoyed just how close everything was— the restaurants, the lighthouse, the stores and most importantly the beach! The pool was clean and perfect for when you wanted to cool off after a day sat the beach. The kitchen was nicely stocked, bedrooms were comfy, we even walked up onto the observation deck to try and catch a sunset. The only issue we ran into was the toaster over door coming off of a hinge on day four, BUT we quickly told management and they came by that very same day and brought us a toaster for the rest of our trip! :) By the end of our trip, everyone was feeling nice and relaxed and even hesitated on wanting to leave. We don’t come to SGI often, but it has quickly become one of our favorite vacation spots and we will keep this property in mind for the next time we visit! We and our entire party had a great time! :)

About the host

Hosted by K. Shack

My family and I take pride in offering affordable beach vacations. Having said that we do not offer heated pools, extravagant furnishings, televisions that span the entirety of a wall. We do offer a safe, comfortable vacation home that will not break your budget and allows for memories to be made on this picturesque island. If you are looking for an over the top expensive home please look elsewhere.

Why they chose this property

Siesta Key is the second oldest home on the island and it was important to us to keep the old Florida charm while upgrading this home. Siesta Key has undergone some major overhauling over the last several months and we hope that it is as pleasing to our guests as it is to us. I want to thank all that have been patient and understanding while the renovations have taken place.
