Unique private Canal home w/pool- walk to Village

The location of the property was great walking distance to all shops and restaurants. The dock and pool area were wonderful. Everyone had a great time fishing and swimming. The house was AWFUL! It was FILTHY!! All of the furnishings and linens were very used and old. The carpeting in all areas needs removed and replaced. The house had not been deep cleaned in YEARS. If they person cleaning my house worked like this they would be gone. While I do appreciate that this is a rental, we vacation a lot and I have never seen anything like this. It was completely unacceptable and I was very happy to return home. If you are looking for a great location and don’t mind the frat house vibe this house is fine. If you are looking to have an enjoyable relaxing get away this is not the place.

We chose this property because we were having a family reunion. So the number of rooms and space is what we were looking for. When we arrived the check in process was easy but once we opened the front door it was not at all what the pictures showed. The house had a moldy smell to it, (mind you we had toddlers and an asthmatic person with us) the house was not cleaned how it should of been. We actually left the house cleaner than how we received it. We found live roaches in the kitchen draws. The oven didn’t work so we couldn’t cook after having food in there for 30 mins to then find out. The couches were so old. They definitely could invest in new ones especially charging the amount they did for our stay. We had no choice but to deal with the rooms. One of the upstairs room that has an attachment with a sofa bed had an updated bathroom but definitely there is mold in there we noticed the wood floors in the bathroom were spongy and there was water just sitting under without even taking a shower yet. It had a horrible smell to it and my children had to deal with that smell. Under the bed there were about 5 layers of dust that obviously has never been cleaned under. I could keep going. The backyard was the best part of the house. The beautiful pool and hot tub, that’s where we spent most our time because we did not want to be inside. Definitely the backyard was relaxing for all of us. We enjoyed the deck and we bought our own fishing poles to fish. I’m not saying this house is horrible but for the money you can definitely find something cleaner and more updated and modern and feel comfortable even while you sleep. It just needs work done to it. The house has potential if the owners just invested money to fix things up. There was visible mold growth downstairs on the ceiling in the corner. To top everything off there’s rats living in the two front palm trees that would come out every night and we would see them through out the outside of the house climbing through the gutters and balconies.

Home was great for our group! We had 6 adults and 5 young adults (15-18 years old). Location was great for walking to town and getting to the beach. We had plenty of towels and dishes. Pool was very nice and the boys got to enjoy some fishing. Would definitely recommend this property.

Overall the property was great, gave the 3 families staying there with children as well as a grandma plenty of space and things to do. Minor repairs need to be done, but nothing that deters from a good time. The backyard, pool, hot tub and patio were amazing!

This home was perfect for our large family trip with two toddlers!

Awesome location walking distance to the village and (in my opinion) the best part of Siesta Key Beach for hanging out during the day or catching amazing sunsets.

Outdoor area, pool and spa were a big hit!
