Overall a nice place unfortunately it was very dirty there was sand in the one bed and a worm in a nother one the sheets didn’t not feel clean at all the house smelled like mold and it just was not clean at all, was very gross with tiny baby’s that want to crawl around it was not ideal, there was also nothing to sweep the floor with and the spoon draw was full of dirt so gross
We really enjoyed the Castle on Siesta Key. All nine of us enjoyed the property and especially the private pool. The Castle was very clean and well kept. I highly recommend it.
We thoroughly enjoyed it. It was big enough for our family. The owner was great. Our grandson enjoyed fishing in the canal. It was overall a great time. The pool was used a lot.
We vacation often in Siesta Key and I’m always looking for something on the canal with a pool and kayaks that is walking distance to the village and the beach. This checked all the boxes… 5 minute walk to the village and 10 minutes to the beach. The layout of the castle is unique but plenty spacious and clean. Don was a great host and we would stay there again.
Property was as advertised. Lots to do at the house, everything was clean and in good condition, and it was a great location. Lots of beach chairs, an umbrella, wagon, toys, etc were provided. We enjoyed kayaking the canal, trying to fish (caught a sting ray and that was it in the canal), pool and spa were great, walk to the beach wasn’t too bad, and location to restaurants and shopping were great. Would definitely stay again.
We had a wonderful vacation at the castle house. Location was perfect, house was large and set up nicely for our family. Pool area was great, lots of room for the kids. Will look at this place again for our next Siesta trip.
This is the second summer we've stayed at Castle on the Key and it's become our favorite vacation spot. We love that we can walk to the village easily, take the kayaks out for a spin on the canal, and access the beaches with a short drive or walk. We plan to come back over and over.
The location of this property is perfect for walking to all the action on the Main Street. The home has everything you need to enjoy your stay. There is too much to do for only one week!
Short walks to Village and Beach, this large house gives each person their own space but has a large common area in which we cooked and served dinner for 12 family and friends several times in our week stay there. Most or all of the items downstairs were new due to repairs from hurricane damage including all new appliances and kitchen cabinets. Pool shape is stylish and entire back area around the pool is perfect for small or large gatherings. Could park 3 cars in driveway and one out front, so plenty of good parking.
You could tell there was so much water damage from the hurricane that the flooring was rotted upstairs, so bad that there were gnats all over. Black mold in ceiling vents. Had to take shower curtain down because of black mold. Sand was all over furniture. The best part of the castle was its location. Would not rent here again.
This property was very conveniently located to the Village. Our family enjoyed the lovely pool area and float toys. The home is dated but adequate for my family. It doesn't appear as clean as it could be because of it's age. Kitchen was well stocked with dishes pots and pans etc.
This is a perfect place to stay on Siesta Key. The space is great, the pool is great, all the beach and canal items (especially kayaks) were great. The location is fantastic. Easy walk to the food market, shops, and dining. Two beach accesses are walkable. Easy walk to the free shuttle service that takes you to any of the beaches on the key.
The property's decor is what I would call a bit eclectic and my contractor friend might call some of the setup "unfinished" but to me the property was exactly what it needed to be down to the train table for little kids. Our kids (5-12yo) loved the foosball and the pool the most.
This house was pretty perfect for our family. It did come with some flaws though. The entire main level appeared to be recently updated. The upstairs was not. It appears there has been some water damage in one of the king room bathrooms. The flooring was coming up and was unlevel, not something you’d want to walk around in barefoot. The mildew smell was so overpowering that we had to go and buy air fresheners to help mask the smell. Black mold was also present in this bathroom. The decking at the upper level is coming up and really not safe to walk on/use. Other than the items listed above and a few small things, we really enjoyed our stay. The backyard area is perfect and we spent a lot of time in the pool. Beds were comfortable. You cannot beat the location to the village and public beach accesses.
I brought 7 teenagers down on Spring Break. My kids and friends. It was a great space as they all could have private rooms and pretty much bathrooms as well. It’s a perfect location- the market is just down the street for any groceries and forgotten items. And that’s the start of town as well. Walk to the beach was like 5-6 blocks. Just wonderful! And Don was great to work with.
The house fit our entire family of 12, with plenty of bathrooms and beds. the Pool was so nice and the kids loved fishing off the boat dock out back. We even had access to Kayaks for the older Boys to enjoy. The house was clean and neat with Plenty of towels for everyone. Very close walk to the village and the Neighborhood was very nice and quiet. communication from Don the owner was great! I read the other reviews and I don't believe they are accurate to this property.
This unique castle house was perfect for our group of 12 people mostly 18 year old high school seniors and 2 sets of parents. Everyone had a bed to sleep in and plenty of space, 5 bathrooms was more than enough ! The master suite was excellent. The pool was fabulous and having kayaks to take out on the canal was fun for all. The house is right down the street from the village and the beach so you could pretty much walk or bike to anything you needed.
Great space
Great pool
Great location
The owner Don was easy to work with.
One negative thing: If you are looking at the house the neighbors to the right did not like any noise past 10:00, no splashing, no talking, nothing fun, you would think they would be smarter than to build a home next to a large rental house suited for entertaining right ? Anyway, good luck with them.
