Guest Reviews

• Donna (10/5): It was excellent. I have travelled pretty extensively, and this is by far the best place ever! - First, our host, Kimberly was excellent! We had a small dog with us who seemed anxious when we left and he barked a lot. Kimberly would look in on him while we were sightseeing. We really appreciated her extra effort. The accommodations are immaculate which is important to me, and you couldn't ask for a better location - very close to Siesta Key. It was exactly the get-away we were looking for - I would definitely recommend and we have already discussed returning. Thank you Kim! Honestly - there was nothing we disliked. I tried to think of areas for improvement but could not come up with anything.
• Guillermo (9/5): -
• Carson (10/5): - Super clean and wonderful location
• DAWN (8/5): - Cleanliness Nothing to dislike
• mcintosh (10/5): - Everything was in order and nicely done It was obvious that the owner and management make an effort to keep this place nice I will definitely be booking again in the future
• Maria (10/5): Me encantó . Volvería . - KImbely, la anfitriona muy amable, se acercó a presentarse y preguntar si necesitábamos algo, Tiene lavarropa, y secar ropa. Una pileta hermosa aunque no llegamos a usarla . Muy completa. No tengo criticas
• Jacqueline (10/5): This place is beautiful, worth every penny! - Everything! Down to the decorations and very easy to use the laundry. The pool and hot tub with peaceful space to enjoy the stay. There is nothing to dislike about this property.
• Frank (10/5): - Wat een heerlijk verblijf! De indeling van de cottage was prettig met twee goede slaapkamers en een ruime eet/woonkamer en goed ingerichte keuken. We hebben ook met plezier gebruikgemaakt van het zwembad en onze dochter (3 jaar) ook van het speelgoed dat er was. De locatie was ook fijn: Siesta Beach was om de hoek (waar je makkelijk kunt parkeren) en we zijn o.a. ook naar Myakka River State Park geweest. Hartelijk dank voor de gastvrijheid! Niks.
• Debbycakes24 (10/5): - I loved the beachy theme vibe of the cottage it made me feel like I was literally on the beach itself It was very clean and comfy and the hosts were very friendly and welcoming and inviting and they were very helpful and tentative as well I also loved the heated pool and outside area was very relaxing and I loved how close we were to the beach and shopping. 10/10 would definitely recommend to anyone and everyone taking a trip to Sarasota/ siesta keys ...... I loved everything there was not one thing I could honestly say I didn't like or anything else

• Kamalova (10/5): Absolutely amazing! Home away from home 🥰 - Everything was fantastic! Location, amenities, pool, etc. Kitchen was fully stuffed and had everything you might need for your stay. It honestly felt like our own home for a few days. Also I have to mention that the homeowners are super nice! It was a pleasure to meet them and have our occasional small talks near the pool. All and all, 5 stars experience (out of 5 of course)! We will definitely come back again!
• Gerry (8/5): Pleased with the facility, but other members could be noisy - Clean and very accomidating Small unit

• Rose (10/5): It was wonderful and the host was accommodating and friendly. - This property was charming and the outdoor area was zen. You have to share with other renters but it ended up not being a problem.
• Claudia (10/5): Exceptional -
• Copeland (10/5): Exceptional -
• Susan (10/5): Exceptional - The grounds were amazing. Everything you needed was right there.
• Lori (8/5): Very good -
• Barbara (10/5): Tranquil and amazing! - The Property Was Nice, comfy and cozy, Clean and Well mountaineering. A nice heated pool with a hot cascade I love it. Everything was great!
• Martina (10/5): Exceptional - One of the best accommodations we have ever had. Perfectly clean, well equipped, very nice hosts who made sure we didn't miss anything. We also enjoyed the perfect warm heated pool, a beautiful garden with a grill and a gazebo. The garden and pool are shared with other apartments, but that was not a problem at all. It is prettier than in the photos on booking.com. Great location - Siesta Key Beach is an 8 minute drive. Highly recommend! That we had no time to stay longer in this small paradise...
• Carrie (10/5): Exceptional - Great location. Beautiful place, very clean.
• David (9/5): Definitely will stay here again! - The heated pool and daughter loved the outdoor shower. Peaceful! Indoor shower just didn’t have great pressure and didn’t get really hot.
• David (5/5): A lovely place to visit but a ho hum lodging experience. - The living Space was good and the bed was comfortable. I appreciated the communication of the host ahead of time. It was not hard to find. It was quiet and clean. The pool was not inviting or warm. There was little to no information about what was available at the property. If there were shared spaces. Meals and supplies needed were limited to coffee, tea, or water. Disappointed that there was not a store close to get some supplies or directions as to how to secure food.
• Duke (10/5): Exceptional - Almost everything was perfect I say almost because I feel like it should be stated more clearly that the commodities (pool, bbq, terrasse and washing machine) are shared with the other rentals around. That being said it was still A M A Z I N G BEDS extremely comfortable Very clean place The host provided coffee and a cute platter of charcuterie and cheese as a welcome gesture very thoughtful Also she responded very quick from day one to any messages !!! We needed the place a little earlier than the regular check in and she made everything possible for that to happen Highly recommended spot The spot is great but there is not much you can do by walking A lot of restaurants were also closed very early but it's not on the host So I would still recommend the place ideally with a car (for which you had parking btw)
• Rianne (10/5): I reccomend this location! - The owner Kimberley went above and beyond to give me a pleasant stay. The house is lovely. The bed was amazing.
• Ninali (9/5): Peaceful environment, excellent host. Highly recommended for any kind of visit. - The location was perfect and we found the accommodation itself without any problems. The accommodation is very nice and it was perfect for our needs. The host and her family were lovely and always willing to help with advice and service. The water in the pool was not heated. Since the weather was a bit cooler, we did not use the pool.
• Mardi (10/5): Exceptional - It has everything to feel like home. The pool just outside our back door was really nice and the laundry was so helpful. The hosts Kim and Angela were very accommodating.
• Patricia (10/5): I was there for my birthday getaway everything was good pool and patio was beautiful at night - It was nice and clean nice relaxing environment Bathroom and first room had ants but they wasn’t overwhelmed to deal with
• Hilary (10/5): We were very comfortable and enjoyed our stay very much. The host resides in the near by house and was available and hel - Great location and wonderful host.
• Aimee (9/5): We enjoyed our stay at the beach cottage , it was quiet and relaxing and the pool was nice . - Easily accessible to the beach, groceries, restaurants.
• Wommack (10/5): Loved it. Super friendly guest. - Beautiful home. Loved the covered pool area, so relaxing. Nothing. Loved it.
• Heather (10/5): I will absolutely be booking this apartment again for n the near future!!! The owners were amazing and so friendly! - It was located in a great quiet community. We took morning walks in the neighborhood every morning. There were 3 separate beaches all within 4 miles each. Tons of restaurants and shops. The apartment itself was very comfortable and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The only thing I would have changed is that the pool had some kind of rail to aid in entering or exiting. I only suggest this as I’m a little older and have a medical issue that causes me to lose my balance from time to time.
• Pablo (10/5): Exceptional - Welcoming and friendly hosts, the apartment was very clean and stocked with everything we needed including beach chairs and umbrellas. It was a pleasure staying at the beach cottage, the grill and pool area is perfect to spend time earlier in the day because the beach all day can be too hot. 10/10 recommend. Special thanks to Vicente for being so helpful.
• Glenda (10/5): Very good - Quite and very good Nothing
• Larysa (10/5): Exceptional - Thank you for being such a great hostess! We had a wonderful time staying in such a lovely place. Definitely would come back again!
• David (7/5): Enjoyable but lacking above concerns - Facilities, equipment available and very comfortable beds. Lack of outlook from apartment no PRIVATE outside sitting area. Poor lighting , too bright and no low level lights . A construction site next to pool and work being carried out next to apartment. Plastic table wear .
• Margarita (10/5): Can’t wait to come back! Great stay with wonderful hosts! - Location, do close to great restaurants and fabulous Siesta Key. Clean apartment with all of the basic necessities for an awesome and relaxing stay! Nothing we loved it all!
• Valerie (10/5): Will recommend to friends in the USA and back here in UK - I was visiting my son and just taking a short road trip up the coast The location was perfect and the accommodation excellent.

• Joao (7/5): Good -
• Kellys (10/5): Exceptional -
• Esther (10/5): Cozy place - The location was great. The cottage in the back of the main house was very cozy, very welcoming. The decor was beach friendly. It was a very cozy place. Very private although it’s a cottage not the fool property. It needs some maintenance, but overall was great.
• Valeria (1/5): very dissatisfied I have to move out in the middle of the stay to a hotel - the pictures did not reflect the reality of the property the common pool is basically a house pool that you have to share with people that you don’t know including the entire backyard that is literally a backyard of a home No privacy at all
• Brian (8/5): Very good -
• Nick (9/5): Superb -
• Jamie (10/5): Exceptional -
