Great value. Great location that's not exactly walkable to the beach, but a very short drive. Very clean and with plenty of amenities for beach goers (beach towels, umbrella, cooler bag).

Everything was great! The condo was very nice and clean! A perfect private space!

Dana was very considerate and an accommodating host, making herself available if we needed anything. The spacious studio was clean, simple, earthy and inviting full kitchen along with coffee maker and fresh coffee!! a 5 minute drive to downtown Siesta key yet quiet in a quaint residential neighborhood to hear the lovely crickets and birds chirping....heaven!

Dana's Driftwood Cottage exceeded all of my expectations! The cottage is spacious, open, airy and beachy. Dana provided all of the essentials, and even beach bags! It really is a wonderful place for a siesta away from it all! Dana was welcoming and easy to get in contact with, and she left information about the area and local sites. There was even a recommendation to a local restaurant, where we had the most wonderful dinner! We used Uber to get around, and it only cost about $7 to get from the cottage to the main strip on Siesta Key. And for the nights we stayed in, there was wifi and a Roku to watch TV, plus a killer DVD collection! We would absolutely stay again, and I hope to come back soon!

The accommodations were sparkling clean and charming… The neighborhood was lovely… The hosts were gracious and kind.

Great Host fast response time. Place was cute and clean very private. My only complaint is bed and pillows .Mattress was of low quality which kept us from sleeping much. Especially if you have back issues. Walk is farther then 5 mins from beach . I would return of new bed was out in .Very cute

Dana was available to walk us through the studio upon arrival; she gave us information about the local beaches. Dana had everything we needed for our stay in her place. The studio was perfect for our family and the location was fantastic. It was only about 10-20 minutes away from the local beaches which made it easy for us to go to the beach every day. We liked the privacy of the studio and the neighborhood was nice and quiet too. Very nice place!

Dana was an amazing host. Everything was just like described and much more. The studio is very private, spacious and has that fresh beach feeling. Very quite and safe neighborhood. Also there were parking space which was a big plus. Kitchen, everything you need from plates to plastic wrap and blender! :) besides that place is located in walking distance to great dining spots and the best ice cream we've ever had. It was our first airbnb experience and Dana took care of every question, direction and better value we had to know. The same was with the place, it will accommodate all your needs for relaxing vacation with the whitest beach, finest sand and amazing water. We defiantly will come back and will recommend it to our friends ... We actually already have. Thank you!

Very good location, and only a short drive to Siesta Key. Could walk to get ice cream at Abel's, which was fantastic! The pool's heater wasn't working when we arrived, but the hosts quickly had someone there to work on it. They were very quick with responding, and I'd certainly stay there again.

Everything was perfect! Perfect location... 20 minute walk or a 2 minute drive to the beach and restaurants. Also positioned equidistant between wonderful Casey Key (Nokomis Beach) to the south and Lido Beach to the north (and everything in between). Super clean, super convenient, & super comfortable... Angela made certain of every detail. We'll be back!

Highly recommend this place. We will definitely be back!

The apartment is in a great location, one mile from beautiful Siesta Beach 15 min walk or free parking) but also just 5 minutes walk to some great restaurants and a superb ice cream shop among the local shopping malls. Apartment is spacious, with protected outside seating area too and a cool (in both meanings...) pool. The lounge is comfortable and the TV incl Netflix well worth having. Bedroom and bathroom are fine if not immaculate, but comfortable and everything you need. Only criticism would be of the kitchen, which is rather tired and needs renewing to match the rest if the place. A nice personal welcome from Angelina too.

My wife and I stayed here for our two year anniversary and it was the best trip we've had since our honeymoon. Such a laid back place to stay and truly less than a mile from the beach! Such a nice break from the "east coast Florida vibe." Thanks Kimberly & Angela!

This was SUCH a cute place! Loved our stay!

Very nice place!!

Place was perfect for what we were looking to do, get away for a few days to a great beach without spending a ton of money. We walked to beach every morning.

The host canceled this reservation 26 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Excellent location right in the heart of Siesta Key. Literally 3 minute walk to the main strip of bars and restaurants and shops, and a 5 minute walk to the most beautiful beach in the US. Check in/out was super easy thanks to easy instructions and a lock box. Will stay again. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

It was much better than I expected.

Outstanding location, minute walk to Siesta Key shops and restaurant, and a very short walk to beach. Well appointed, has everything one would need.

We really enjoyed our stay!! It is a "hidden jewel." It was super cozy, clean, family friendly and close to everything...beach, eating, shops nightlife...yet is very quiet and serene. It's great for a family with kids, like ourselves, or for a business stay. Betsy was so easy to work and communicate with!! We would stay there again in a heartbeat!! The neighbors were a lot of fun too!!

Clean, safe and the perfect location! Just a few minutes to walk to the beach and only a minute or so from the strip of main attractions. Despite this, things felt quiet. The neighbors were friendly. Will definitely try to book this place again if I find myself traveling to Siesta Key.

Place was very cozy and up to date!! Felt at home there!!

Betsy's hospitality coupled with the location of this beautiful stay exceeded every expectation we had. There are three entrances to the beach all within a 3-10 min walk. It's nice, because it is at the north most part of Siesta Key which means fewer tourists and more seclusion. Betsy thought out every detail...nice large beach towels, beach chairs, a nifty little cooler alone with a reusable frozen pack already icy in the fridge. After long days on the beach, we would freshen up in an immaculately clean bathroom and make dinner in a kitchen stocked with plenty of cookware, dishes, and silverware. The oven, stove, refrigerator, dishwasher and newer washer and dryer was a nice plus. The TV was huge and she had every channel of cable and on-demands available. For bed, it was a plush king size bed with a ton of pillows and a quilt-like comforter. We did not bring children or guests, but the second bedroom was spacious and I'd imagine perfect for 2 more people. We were happy to discover that we were adjacent to the main part of town where the drug store, grocery store, and most importantly - ice cream - were only a 3-5 min walk. Highly recommended, as we plan to return here in September for another stay with Betsy

Tony's place is in a great location close to shopping and Siesta Key. The value is incredible. The house is clean and welcoming.

I recommend for everyone, Tony is an amazing guy.

Tony has a great stay for any air bnb traveler. It's a great place to stay just a night or to explore Sarasota. Comfy bed and great accommodations.

Great place to stay. Excellent in working with the client and making sure they have a wonderful stay.

Very comfortable and enjoyable stay!

Friendly host, clean house and easy to get in touch with. Offers the little things like extra shampoo/conditioners, sunscreen, and beach amedities. Allows you to use dishwear like pans to allow guests to make food or coffee in the morning. Thanks Tony!

Nice and very clean place. Not too far away from the beaches.

This definitely feels like a travel hostel environment. As two young females we felt uneasy with so much foot traffic.

Great location, excellent communication. Perfect for a family. Thanks for a great stay!

Barb's place was fantastic and the space was HUGE! I'm only sad we didn't have more time to have been able to really stay and spend more time at the property and enjoy the pool. Barb was a great hostess and made us feel incredibly welcome while also giving us complete privacy. I'd highly recommend the space to anyone else visiting the Sarasota area!

Location was great. Close to everything. Space itself was very nice and the pool was fantastic for the hot days we were there. Barbara was very kind and attentive and we had total privacy.

Barb was a fantastic host, accommodating, very communicative and friendly. I'm glad I was able to meet her! The place is kind of like a private suite - a master bedroom with a smaller adjacent family room w/ two couches and a table, mini fridge, etc. that opens to a screened porch area with a beautiful swimming pool. There is also a cute firepit in the yard. I slept on the couch which was very comfortable and my friends say the bed was comfy as well. I really felt like I was living in the community but its also very conveniently close to beaches and shops, especially if you have a rental car. I really enjoyed the privacy & location. My stay and it was perfect! Thanks for a place to call home for the weekend :)

Greeting was friendly and informative. We had our own private entrance and privacy through out our stay. Quiet neighborhood convenient to major streets. It was a perfect place for my visit and I would book again. The sofa was the most comfortable sofa bed I have ever slept on with a 5" tempurpedic mattress. One has to love high pillow top mattresses to enjoy the king bed, not so restful to me, others might find it divine. The picture of "the front of the house" with the palms and high rise depicts the tropical area and the location is a very short convenient drive to Siesta Key.

Barbara was awesome. Super welcoming and polite. The place was nice. The bed was almost too comfortable, I thought I might never wake up. Short drive to the beach, nice little neighborhood. I would definitely recommend this place and will stay again if the opportunity arises.

Barbara, our host, has a great place to get away to paradise! Siesta Key-Sarasota area is a wonderful place to vacation. Barbara made us feel welcome and was ready and willing to help with anything we needed. It was like we were at home! The master bedroom is a literally a suite with a great bathroom. The other room is nice and spacious enough to sleep a 2 more and is also used as a dining area/kitchenette. The pool was very nice and private and was nice to jump into after a hot day at the beach. All around this is a great place to stay and everything is convenient (grocery stores, shopping, restaurants, etc.) We would definitely consider staying at Barbara's place again. We had 4 total in our party (2 adults and 2 teenage daughters). I highly recommend this place.

Barbs house was phenomenal! Extremely large and luxurious and great for a family of four! Very close to multiple locations and beaches where we were able to hit up two to three different beaches in a single day! Very secluded/private entrance with an absolutely massive master bed and very large additional room with a great mini breakfast area!

John is an exceptional host whose attitude is one of going above and beyond your expectations in terms of service and amenities

Me and my wife stayed for 2 nights (Friday and Sunday)(EMAIL HIDDEN)munication and directions were super easy and reached it without any problems (even if there are some problems John was always very helpful and prompt in replies). The place 10 minutes of pleasant driving from Siesta Beach/Village. The room we stayed in was great, TV inside, kitchen is fully equipped and the garden in the is amazing for having breakfast, dinner, chill etc. John is an amazing, easy going, friendly person. We enjoyed the time spent in the garden having long conversations...Next time we come in Sarasota hope you will have room for us :D Thank you John!

Simple queen bed with Netflix in the room and a love seat to lounge on in the room. Just what I needed for my trip. John was friendly and knowledgeable about the area.

John was a wonderful host ! He is most welcoming and hospitable. His place is very beautiful , sunny , spacious , clean. I really enjoyed relaxing in the tranquil backyard full of tropical trees and plants. The location is perfect if you are visiting the Siesta keys and Lido Beach.

John's place was convenient to everything. Downtown Sarasota, Siesta Key, Lido (URL HIDDEN) was awesome! John was extremely helpful with where great restaurants were and directions to POI. Thanks John!

Great host and home! John was very friendly and kindly provided great suggestions and even beach supplies!

Great experience all around! John's place is in a great location - close to many attractions on the Gulf Coast. I don't think I've stayed in a cleaner place. The shared bathroom was no problem, the bedroom was comfortable, private and quiet. Kitchen access was nice, allowing me to have breakfast before heading out for the day. John is very personable, providing information about the area, and very responsive to emails/texts.

We had a wonderful time at Johns place! Convenient, comfortable, clean, and John was there to help us with whatever we needed. Highly recommend, and hope to be back! We loved Sarasota.

Champagne wishes and caviar dreams! Anthony's place was top notch and I highly recommend. Just so well equipped across the board, so comfortable and so well located. Felt more like a real house to me, you don't feel like you are camping out at all (sunscreen, washer dryer you name it, big screen tv in LR and MBR, very comfortable and relatively new Queen bed!). We cooked in every night, publix close by. The unit was easy to access, had no problems. Anthony has thoughtfully provided virtually every amenity one could want. By comparison to other places I've stayed his rocks.

The neighborhood was as described. The apartment was perfect and it had everything i needed and more.

Anthony's apartment is beautiful, clean and comfortable. There is everything you need for perfect vacation: washing and drying machines, dishes and appliances, attributes for rest on the beach. Everything was available and we never had a reason to disturb the owner. However, Anthony was so polite that he was interested how we are doing. To the Public beach about 20 minutes on foot and five minutes by car. But we went to the beach across the road, as our friends rented the apartment there. By the way, these one-bedroom apartments were much more expensive than Anthony's. We really love a magical rest in Siesta Key and next time we'll be pleased to stay again Anthony's apartment

We stayed at Anthony's apartment for a full month and overall had a great time! The apartment was as described in text and pictures, and we experienced no real problems while being there. Any question from us was responded to very quickly and friendly. Parking was easy, pool area was nice, very close (with car) to the beach which was really great. If we ever get the chance to visit Siesta Key again, we would love to stay at this place. We wholeheartedly recommend staying here!

The place was great, exactly as described and even better - space was sufficient for the 5 of us. Our kids enjoyed the pool. We were very pleased with kitchen – it had everything that we needed during our stay. Availability of a clubhouse was an additional bonus, especially availability of the piano was a nice touch - my grandson was able to practice. Access to the beach was easy, just a couple of minutes drive. There are a lot of good restaurants on the Siesta Key, but reservations are necessary in every good place, otherwise the wait is quite long. Your better option will be the restaurants in Sarasota. Lots of places to visit with children - our favorite was the Big Cat Sanctuary.

Anthony was quick to respond to our reservation acceptance. He gave us all the info we needed on where to park and how to get in. He was readily available for any questions or concerns. The condo was amazing. We had a wonderful time and great experience. The condo had everything we needed and was very clean. Even had stuff for us to take to the beach and play tennis. The pool at the condo was great and the kids loved it. This was the smoothest experience I have ever had. Siesta Key is absolutely beautiful and there are so many things to do. The price for a week was amazing. Thanks Anthony!!!!

Very clean and nicely decorated. Long walk to beach. Better to drive or bike to public beach which has facilities and food. Thanks for beach chairs and other beach equipment in balcony shed. No water view.

This was an absolute wonderful stay! Anthony was awesome and the condo was perfect. We will be staying here again in the near future.

We loved staying here! It is right on the beach and close to everything! The amenities were perfect and the view from the balcony was spectacular. I did yoga on the deck every morning and was just in heaven. We will definitely be returning for another stay soon! I highly recommend this airbnb. You will not be disappointed. Additionally, the owner was incredibly kind and helpful - offering many suggestions for things to do and places to go that were lots of fun.

Location was good and free rides were nice. Kitchen and living area were appealing and the house has character. We did have some issues though... the hot tub was filthy and not working even after the host came to fix it for us after 3 days of trying to contact him about it with no answer. He also told us he would bring over more bikes for us to use and never did that either. There was not a hairdryer or shampoo or any of that which was listed in the amenities at the home. Not enough communication from the host on certain things for the trip. No paddleboards or kayaks at the house like we were told. Back patio, lower patio, and grill need some cleaning up and I agree with another guest on the pans in the kitchen being replaced. Siesta Key was fantastic but probably not the best experience with air bnb for us.

Julian's place was awesome! The location is great, can walk to an awesome little beach, and we were able to use his kayaks!! He was very welcoming and I would definitely stay here again. Thanks Julian!

Great place! Close to the beach and shopping centers. Small beach across the street, with access to larger beaches close by. Wonderful neighborhood and the kitchen was fully equipped. Had everything we needed and more, will rebook in the future!

We had a great stay and really enjoyed cooking in the big kitchen and riding the kayaks and paddleboards around the canals!

Julian's place with spaces open with a fabulous kitchen ,,,, beds were very comfortable 2 full bathrooms Close walking distance to shell beach right across the street and one and a half miles from siesta key walkable or ride a bike ,,,, Julian was very accommodating always able to get in touch with you had any questions

The house is an older house as Julian says but this gives it character. It is a great layout with a open floor plan. It just brought the everyone together. We grilled on the back deck several times. Also it was great to sit a fish off the upper and lower decks. My three year old grandson caught his first fish (a catfish). I'm not sure how many fish we did catch. We sat on the deck every morning a had coffee. The beach was a short drive and the village is a few minutes closer. We used the free taxie service when we went out at night. (It works well). Over all we had a great time and hope to stay again next year. We were there for three weeks and it was not long enough.

Julian was an awesome host. The house was great and exactly what we needed!

Julian was just an amazing host! Not only was the space perfect, but he sent me a special offer for after I enquired about a different option. This 'cottage' wasn't even showing up on the options in the area and this beautiful home he thought would be a better fit for my budget. And then he offered to give us a second night for free, just because. Julian and his wife were both top notch people. I really could not possibly recommend this place or these hosts more. Great place. Great location. Great people. Do yourself a favor and stay here.

This place was amazing and has everything very close by that you'd need. This cottage is very spacious, has a nice community pool and is minutes away from the best beach in the country (Siesta Beach). It has a full kitchen, sleeps 6, master BR, living room, back deck, and a porch/deck in the front. The owner was very kind and allowed us to check in a little bit before 3pm and allowed us late a late checkout since our flight was a late flight (we lucked out, during busier times this may not be possible). This is only my 2nd AirBnB booking and it was a fantastic experience - I'd HIGHLY recommend this cottage and Siesta Beach to anyone looking for a nice get away. It's quiet, clean, white sand and big beach. We rented an umbrella and beach stuff for the first day, however, we realized in the closet in the cottage already had beach chairs, umbrella, cooler etc. So we used that the other days. Parking was easy; it's right out from of the cottage. Overall A++ experience, easy going owner and very nice place. Stay here if you want to be super close to the beach and siesta village. Than you

The cottage is newly renovated and is in great shape. Close to the beach and shops. Was perfect for our family of four.

Andys cottage was reallly nice. Access to heated swimming pool, and one of the most beautiful beaches just on the other side of the road. We had beautiful sunsets, we had nice days at the beach, and cool afternoons by the pool. One thing to mention was that there was trouble with the wifi, which was very much needed in some work. Fortunately that can be fixed! We would definitely recommend this place - amazing spot!

Immaculate cottage! We had the greatest time. The location is perfect and Andy was an awesome host. Can't wait to visit again!

Our trip started off to a rocky start with the unit not being ready for check-in at the stated time, and an air conditioner that was not working. Anne & Thomas handled both situations, and the rest of the stay was fine.

This property was exactly as promised. The first notable element was how very clean it was, which is important to us. Anne & Thomas were helpful, promptly responding to notes and questions. We've stayed only in hotels in the past, so we were a little skeptical about using Airbnb. Our experience with this property, and Anne & Thomas, proved we made the right choice. It was so nice to have a roomy place to stay, rather than a cramped room in a hotel. I will say, I missed the luxuries or fresh towels every day, but I definitely know we made the right choice by staying on Siesta Key in this property. Location was wonderful, about a block from the beach. We didn't use the pool, so I can't comment on it, but it sure looked nice! There was a great little breakfast/lunch cafe directly across the street. Nite life a few doors away, which was fun. Near the bridge to Sarasota, so we were conveniently located to everything we wanted. Wonderful vacation. The bed in the master bedroom was so comfortable, made for quite restful sleeping. Upon arrival I was a little uncomfortable with the furniture, but got over that rather quickly. It appears they used spare pieces that did not match, but everything was comfortable, met our needs, and if that's the worst I can say about the place, you know things were very, very good! Many thanks to our gracious hosts.

Unit 1 looked spotless when we showed up. Every room was fresh with made up beds which made it very easy to take a quick and much needed nap after traveling from the west coast. We were a group of 5 adults and we stayed very comfortably. The pull-out sofa bed and half bath downstairs was very convenient for those who had early flights so they didn't disturb the others upstairs. The kitchen is nice and big and has dishes, silverware, cookware, and even a coffee maker. The beach is a quick 3-minute walk away. The private pool (with key) is even closer! The main street outside had plenty of beach shops, cafes, and bars. The Toasted Mango cafe directly across the street was perfect for a delicious breakfast. The 7-11 was great for late night munchies.

A group of us stayed over the weekend for a wedding. Everything was as described (really great!) and we were all extremely happy with the amount of space and location of the house. The unit was spotless when we got there and we were pleasantly surprised with amenities in the unit (kitchen, bathroom, laundry room, small balcony off of main bedroom, etc). The huge plus of this unit is access to the private beach and the pool (both are very close). It is also close to a few hot spot restaurants down the street. During peak afternoons, there be a bit of backed up traffic since the unit is close to the bridge, meaning it may take some time to drive to the town north of the unit (if that's where you want to spend some time). The unit has a shared screened in porch and parking which may be a problem if you have more than 3 cars, but there is room on the street. Thank you Anne and Thomas for a great experience!

Everything was exactly as depicted. No more no less. The house reminded me more of a vacation rental than an "Air BnB" rental. That being said, everything was in order and we had no difficulties at all. The property was very close to the beach and to many other helpful spots (the 7 -11, grocery store, and restaurants). Would definitely stay here or at their other properties again in the future:)

Me and my family had a great time at Anne and Thomas place. Really close to an amazing beach!

Wonderful accommodations! Very clean. Home was just as described. We were very happy with our decision to book this house. Thank you!

This host and location are highly recommended. Everything was clean and ready for us to move in and the house included everything you could want to cook, sleep, clean, etc. Do not hesitate to stay at their home.

This was exactly what we were looking for. We spent days on the beautiful beach and returned to a comfortable, clean home to enjoy the pool and pleasant dock on the bay. We walked and road our beach bikes everywhere and never used the car except for when we arrived and left. Perfect vacation! Owner is very easy to work with.

Great spot, nice and comfortable. Louie is an excellent communicator. I traveled on business, however may come back for pleasure. Defiantly one of the best airbnb properties I have stayed at!

The host canceled this reservation 144 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

It was great! Location was perfect for beach days and getting anything you needed! Artem was great! House was clean... And the pool and hot tub were good too. A little cold at times.

A nice house with a pool and hot tub in a quiet residential neighborhood. Recently renovated; appliances are new. 2 car garage, large patio & pool area, fully screened lanai-style. Far enough from main roads to be quiet, but close enough to be convenient. Siesta Key and its beaches are a short drive away; as are shopping malls and restaurants. We needed a clean, quiet place with room enough to be like home rather than stay in a hotel. This house of Artem's filled our need. There were a few minor maintenance issues, but Artem was easy to contact and responded quickly and appropriately to have them fixed. Our clearest impression on entering the house was that it was immaculately clean. Overall, a nice, relaxing experience.

Nice house

We had a really great stay at Artem's house! His place has a very fresh feel with new appliances, spacious, and bright; and it has a pool! The backyard has a lot of space, so defintely think about bringing your kids here. The location is perfect to access any places around Sarasota, regardless of whether you have a car or not. The beach is only about 7 minutes away by car. Artem provided with all necessary household supplies. He also was very quick to respond to all our questions. We would highly recommend Artem's apartment!

Love, love the house and the location, only minutes from the Siesta Key Beach!!! The house looks exactly as pictured. The house just been remodeled, everything was new inside, new furniture, appliance, kitchen staff. I guess, we were the first guests, who was staying at the house after remodeling. We were really enjoying sitting by the swimming pool as well as swimming pool and hot tub itself. Artem is very great host, responded quickly to any inquiry. I would deffinetly recomend this place to my friends and will stay there again. Thank you Artem for the great vacation!

Artem’s place was very nice. It has been recently remodeled and everything appears to be new. Furniture still smells new. Pool is great. House is very close to the beach and is located in a very nice upscale neighborhood. Loved every minute of our stay.

Staying at Artem's house was great, We were happy it was as it is described. The pictures he has are accurate. Our family, 4 adults and 2 children (4 months and a 3 year old) were safe and enjoyed the home as well. Everyone loved the quite location but the best part was it was a very short drive over to Siesta Key. The neighborhood was safe and easy to access. The garage had a washer and dryer which are new and we were able to wash our clothes. The heated pool/hot tub was a nice treat and our 3yr old's favorite thing. In conclusion we would be happy to stay again at this home and enjoy all Sarasota has to offer.

Our stay was great. Communication with the host was very good. He was always available on the phone to address any questions that we had. Property looks brand new. Everything was excellent. Will be coming back.
