Property is completely renovated, clean, the layout of this one floor home was spectacular for a family of 6. heated pool and jacuzzi were used often at night, Grille on back patio, home was outfitted w utensils and cooking ware needed, 6 beach chairs, beach towels, cooler, a few beach toys (for younger kids). 9 miles from downtown and 1.1 miles from "the beach" at the broken pier, where we went (not crowded), public beach 1.9 miles (very busy), now we understand why Siesta Key beach rated #1 in USA, sand was magnificent, waters were outstanding. Downtown plenty of restaurants, bars, market, shopping - were fun and close. downtown Sarasota 12 min away was impressive, w restuarants, Armands Circle 14 min away great spot for shopping and restaurants. We rented a 4 person golf cart and 2 motorized bikes for the week from Travis at Toy Barn which were key for traveling back and forth to the beach and downtown, recommend as parking is tight at beach, if you go to public beach there is a lot of parking and downtown at night, golf cart easy to park downtown, bikes you can park anywhere, we rented a boat from Capt. Larry from Black Pearl and traveled down the Intracoastal to Venice for the day from siesta key - was a fantastic day, we rented jet skis, paddle boards, kayaks for a couple hours to hit midsummer beach and tour around the south side of Siesta Key. though 4567 Higel Ave. is a .9 miles from downtown and 1.1 miles from beach - the house location was great for us and will definitely return to this great home for another stay at Siesta Key.
