About this property

Our place on the #1 Siesta Key beach is near Siesta Key village, downtown Sarasota, Lido Key, St Armand s circle and LongBoat Key. You’ll love our place because of the location, and the ambiance. The best feature - few steps to private Crescent beach (no hike across busy streets to get to the beautiful crystal sands!)
The building is on a quiet street with no through traffic making it a pleasure to roam safely.

****we did NOT incur damages to the unit during Helene and Milton. Places below us are in renovation phase. There is work being done as of March25. Workers can only work during daylight hours and are respectful of guests.please reach out to me if any questions. In emergency situations that impact water , electric etc. will be communicated as soon as I am aware. There are times when a unit below you may have a leak and they may have to come shut water off to check or there are times when the exterminator does rounds. These things are not often scheduled so please understand I do everything to let you know. If a guest won’t allow them access then the unit won’t be sprayed for another quarter and I-cannot schedule separate insect control

A tranquil and serene condo. Kim communicated so well before and during our stay. The place was clean and modern and all great little touches that helped us enjoy our time even more. Highly recommend!! This is a perfect location - close to public beaches but also the perfect private beach which was perfect for us!

Beautiful Condo! Close to beach.

Condo is very clean and comfortable with an updated beach feel. The owner lives nearby and is quick to address any questions. All hotel type amenities are provided as well as all kitchen needs, cleaning supplies, games, beach supplies, and more. The beach gate is steps away to a beautiful private beach area. We hope to come again.

Great Stay in Siesta Key

First trip for my family to Siesta Key. Great location and private beach access which was awesome for our kids. Short drive to many Siesta Key restaurants/shops as well. Kim is one of the best hosts we have ever met in terms of communication. Easy check in/check out and Kim helped us feel very welcome in the property and around the surrounding Siesta Key/Sarasota area. Thank you!

Wonderful Family Spring Break Getaway

I can't say enough great things about Siesta Key Beach House and our lovely host Kim. The place was great and it was the perfect amount of room for our family of 4 (kids 12 & 14). The unit was equipped with everything we needed, even a spare toothbrush for my 12 year old that forgot hers. The beach access was right nearby and the included wagon and cooler made toting down for a full day on the beach super easy. At night we would head to the Siesta Key village for great dining and live music. We got around the area using the local trolley and frog hoppers(small van/bus that works on tips only). One night we even hopped onto a karaoke bus which made for a fun ride back! I would highly recommended and will definitely look to stay here again in the future!

Perfect Winter Escape

This was a girlfriend get-a-way. We were looking for the perfect place to escape the cold and snow. The condo was clean and provided everything we needed. The location provided easy access to the beach. It’s also a quick walk to catch a shuttle to the Village. The pool was clean and the temperature was comfortable. Kim was extremely responsive and pleasant from initial contact and throughout our stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the condo to friends or family.

Siesta Key is Heaven!

Kim was the perfect host. We stayed a few weeks after the hurricane and she communicated with us every step of the way. Her condo is beautiful and was the perfect place to stay for a quick girls weekend for my daughter’s 16th birthday. The beaches on Siesta Key are gorgeous. Every part of this trip was perfect!

About the host

Hosted by Kim McCool

I am enjoying life in Sarasota as a full time mom, part time pharmacist and property manager of our beach place. My favorite motto is " be the change you want to see in the world" it applies to so many things. I could never live without my family, a good dark roast coffee or the beach. We visit and use our beach place often, it is an extension of our home.

Why they chose this property

New to VRBO and Homeaway. After owning this unit for 9 years we are happy to reveal a complete renovation. We have taken all into consideration and bringing a new kitchen and bath along with new floors, paint and furnishings.
