My family has lived in Sarasota for over 30 years, and we are very familiar with both Sarasota and Siesta Key. We visit every year and have rented many places in the area. This year we decided to take our son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren, ages 9 and 13, to Siesta Key, to the very same area and beach access we used when our children were little. Having visited my parents who lived for many years on the key, I knew that this neighborhood would be just perfect!! Although it was Spring Break for many and the Key was crowded, this house was tucked into a very quiet spot along the canal and just a very short 5 min walk to the beach access. This part of Siesta Key Beach is relatively quiet as there is no parking at this access point.
The house itself was super clean, beautiful and perfect for our family. We like to have family dinners, and the kitchen was updated, well equipped and easy to use; there was plenty of room for a family sit down dinner. My grandchildren especially loved coming back from the beach, having lunch by the heated pool and swimming in the afternoon. The village is a short walk along the canal or less than 5 min by car if you take Canal Rd.
I will also add that the layout was perfect for our family. Each room had its own bathroom and tv, although we were so busy enjoying the beach, games with the children, swimming and evening sunsets that we never had time for tv!! I would absolutely recommend this property !!
