Perfect for what we needed.

Nice cozy place. Very clean and well supplied. Great communication with the hosts .It is also in a great location. We stay in Siesta Key area several times a year as it is our favorite beach. Our normal VRBO's were not available. We will definitely put this in our rotation as places to stay when visiting.

Return trip

On my second time around, I find this place feels like home, much of which is due to the meticulous care of the grounds & property of this lovely corner lot by the owner. Kat is a “super” host with lots of suggestions for area shopping & eating. It is super easy to get to Siesta Key beach. It was a five star stay

Peaceful, quiet getaway

Mattress is very comfortable. Dining area both inside and outside are marvelously accented by outside foliage. The grounds are a real gem with all sorts of flowers and palms. Convenience to shopping, dining, and beach is superb. The host was helpful with suggestions for shopping and eating in the area. Most of all, convenience to the # 1 beach in the USA is unbeatable ! (Siesta Key #1) Overall I give the rental ***** five stars.

Home owner was great with communication. We felt like we had our own apartment for a few days. The homeowners didn’t bother us once. Our room was sectioned off from the rest of the house and stocked with essentials. There are a decent amount of rules to follow although but all around a good place to stay at.

Great Budget spot for a quick stay

This cosy studio was perfect for my fiance and myself, clean, comfy, easy access to major roads and siesta key, and great communication from the hosts. All round a great place to stay. We were out most of the time and ate out, while you can store things and there is place set up to sit outside, its not really set up to "hang out". Its more of a place to sleep, shower and store stuff in the fridge for when you go out the next day.They had a beach umbrella, chairs and cooler for us to use, which was very handy.There were paper plates and cups and disposable cutlery in the cupboards which came in handy and easy not to have to wash anything.Great place for a great price.

Get away studio

We had a 5 day trip to this area of Florida. First time on the gulf coast. So much to do and close to so many stores and restaurants! Quick drive to Siesta Key beach, not far to get on the highway. This studio is a clean, convenient spot to stay. Hosts were quick to answer when contacted and gave us suggestions on local restaurants and bars. We didn’t spend much time in the studio but it met our needs for the time we were in it! I would recommend it! Many thanks to Kat and Mel!

2/10 Terrible

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy
Rating: 0/10 – I do NOT recommend staying here. This is a room-only rental, and the owners live in the same home. There is very little privacy. We could hear them coughing and showering, and unfortunately could even smell bodily odors from the bathroom. They demanded a photo ID for every guest within 24 hours, threatening to cancel if not received. Children are not allowed. Throughout our stay, they sent constant messages, which became annoying. if you don’t take out the trash or put towels in a basket, they charge an extra $50 on top of the cleaning fee. Checkout is early at 10am, but they also require you to notify them exactly when you leave. Overall, there are too many unnecessary requests and rules for a shared home with the owner. For a better experience, book a hotel within walking distance of the beach.

Zero flexibility

Our flight got canceled and we tried to get a refund. Even a partial refund. Manager not willing to work with us. Able to get on flight the next day and manager not willing to shift our stay one day. Very inflexible.

Response from VrboOwner on 22 May 2022
At the time of booking our property guests agree to our cancellation policy which is very clear, unfortunately circumstances such as flight cancellations are out of our control that said we did offer to refund the cleaning $ 95fee and alternative days for guests stay… we feel this review has nothing to do with or actual property and it’s quite unfair.
