25 Springbreak with Family... Incl teenagers

The property was spot on as described and Tim was a great host and very accommodating. The location is perfect imo as it is a under 7min walk to the beach and 15min walk to the main city center. The house also has a beach cart and chairs which were awesome. We rented a golf cart from Robin hood rentals which was perfect to tool around in. We dropped it off on last night and walked home after dinner.The pool and hot tub were a hit the pool deck had sun pretty much all day which was a also a hit..we ate many meals on the outside table by the pool. The kitchen while small, had many pans and utensils etc when we cooked at the house. There is a third toilet and sink in the washer dryer room and that was very handy with 6 people. Two of our boys slept in the queen bed room but there also was a cot in that room they could have used if they wanted to.One note it is located closer to the North end and not near Captain Curts /South end of the island, but the teenagers used the froggy bus and Uber to get around on their own easily when we weren't using the golf cart.Overall would definitely recommend this property and Tim as a great Host!! . Siesta Beach is amazing and perfect for a chill, fun family or couple(s) get away! This property had everthing we needed. Thx Tim!

Great Location on Siesta Key

Great time overall. Cleanliness was a little off. We ended up mopping the floors again upon arrival as our feet were getting dirty. Pool is awesome, screened in patio is great. Property owner is very responsive and helpful. Baby items available. There are pack n plays for babies to sleep in. Overall a great place.

Wonderful Property doubled up with the BEST host

My husband, I and our two kids (14,12) had the best time in Siesta Key. This property checked all the boxes. We all enjoyed the pool, hut tub and fishing dock. The kids had the best time playing ping pong on the porch. Location was great. Within walking distance to the beach and the village! Along with all of that came the absolute best host, Tim! His hospitality is top notch and he helped make this such a fun and memorable trip for my family. He was readily available, a wealth of information about Siesta and gave many good recommendations. We look forward to coming back again!

Perfect Place to Visit Siesta Key!

My husband and I have never visited Siesta Key and haven’t been on a vacation just the two of us since our honeymoon in 2020 so we decided to book this rental for the week and WOW! Tim was readily available for any and all questions, and also gave us many great recommendations. He is very knowledgeable about the area and definitely cares about his guests! The house had everything you could need for a beach day, fishing, and a bunch of other activities! The beach is walking distance, we also chose to drive a couple times! The village area was about a 17 minute walk for us which we only did once and opted for the free trolley the rest of the trip. Our favorite part of the home was the pool area, it was absolutely stunning and so relaxing. I spent majority of my time reading in the pool this trip. Being on the canal was also nice. We brought our english bulldog along for his first vacation and he loved every bit of it. Tim (the property owner) had left out water/food bowls for him before our arrival. Tim was an amazing host and if we ever decide to come back to the area we would stay again!

Perfect family friendly home with the best host!!

We just stayed 10 days and are already planning a trip back. Super clean, easy access to the town and the beach, plus there’s a dock for fishing!! The house was stocked with anything we could have possibly needed and the owner responds quickly and goes above and beyond for anything you need. The pool and hot tub were perfection and we enjoyed it daily from sun up until sun down. 10/10 highly recommend.

If you want a great location, 7 minutes walk from beach, 10 minutes from restaurants, and shops this is the place for you! Would definitely rent here again when in the area!

Awesome home and even better host

My wife and two children (7 and 6) really enjoyed our stay. The home was perfect for us and we especially enjoyed using the hot tub, ping pong tables, and fishing off the dock. Tim, our host, was incredible all around. His communication was excellent and he had many great suggestions for things to do in the area. He even went so far to tell me where to fish and what time to fish based on the tide levels. Would highly recommend this place and will definitely be renting again from Tim!
