We enjoyed our stay ! Our Family has been vacationing here for over 50 years . Our house was more than wonderful . The Bay View was gorgeous, and the dock was great . We were disappointed in the access to the beach . There needs to be steps put in . But overall this house was wonderful for our family ! Ty for sharing your home with us . Blessings
My family has been vacationing in the Sarasota area for 40 years. In the last few years we’ve rented houses on the water. This house was by far the best for us. Not only is this home blessed with a beautiful view of the inland waterway , but it has many amenities like kayaks and bikes. We saw many dolphins and manatees from the dock or on the SUP.
It was a great location to host family evenings, as there is plenty of outdoor space to play games and enjoy outdoor eating.
We will definitely be back !
Beautiful home in the perfect location! Loved everything about this property. We enjoyed the bikes, kayaks, paddle board and access to the beach. Elizabeth was a great host!
It is the most wonderful spot that you can find on a vacation in any key. We enjoyed every thing that this property had to offer.
From the wooden dock with chairs,the gorgeous beach, the town, everything that the owner put in the house, to the adorable cottage itself. The floating dock with kayaks and a paddle board was very easily accessible.The bay was full of mangroves making for a good fishing spot, the view was beautiful and the sunrise from there is extraordinary. Plus there are restaurants and stores close. Our time here was amazing and left me wanting more. Although I would recommend to get a handrail for the wooden dock stairs and a safer beach access. Other than that, everything was perfect !
Just love Casey Key! This property was perfect for our family vacation. Comfortable beds and lots of space. We lived out by the salt water pool. Kayaking & bike riding too. Walked over to beach for sunsets and shelling(right across the road). Beach area was slim, you never know daily with mother nature. Nokomis public beach was just down the road if we wanted to stay on the beach.
Great place for a large group! Cozy cottage vibe with a great outdoor space and pool! Quick walk to beach and 12 minute drive to big public beach. Also great hosts! :)
We rented this home for our spring break and could not be happier. We have teenage children so the separate apartment worked great for us. The property and amenities were fantastic and the owners were very responsive and accommodating. I would definitely recommend this home if you are looking for something in this area !
This house is a great older beach house with a truly beautiful yard and pool. The host was very responsive to a couple of issues. We really enjoyed our stay.
House and location was xlnt. Quiet, scenic, convenient, easy access from north bridge. A little tricky getting to beach, but very pleasant there. Plenty of extras incl bicycles, kayaks, and boat lift. Lots of towels & linens. Pool was delightful. Owners very helpful and responsive.

About the host
Hosted by Elizabeth Mason
From northern Virginia, we met in the political world and have always had a love of travel, sun and water. This spot on Casey Key is just a little slice of perfection for us.
Why they chose this property
We have friends who introduced us to Casey Key. We rented this house for a month one year and when we found out it was for sale, we hoped we could make it ours.
What makes this property unique
The backyard and pool is my favorite “room”. I love the outdoors, the view and the sights and sounds of the water make it perfect.
