Our best family vacation ever!

Five of us -- my wife, our two young adult offspring, and son-in-law -- spent 9 wonderful days at Casey Key to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary. The beachfront property is open, homey, and comfortable. The beach itself is very isolated and the ocean mesmerizing. Sunsets are a treat! Dolphins were seen as were pipers, egrets, and pelicans. There are many wonderful restaurant and take out options nearby, as well as grocery options. We all had a wonderful and restful time and look forward to returning next year!

great week

Overballba very enjoyable stay. The chicken salad and bread was a distinctive plus, Thanks. The stocked refrigerator also very nice! As discussed with the host, the outside grill was not clean and very rusty. Pool appeared very cloudy, and there were questions around heating cost? Took us awhile to figure out the TV, too many remotes. Some place mats, trays and small outside tables would be a good addition. The location was terrific, the beach nice, albaeit a little rocky for swimming and a bit cold. Great sunsets!!! Well stocked kitchen. Overall a great visit and with these minor fixes would come again, in March next time.

great potential but beach & other frustrations made it one to forget rather than remember.

Property has an amazing location near the Casey Key Fish Restaurant (also with great tiki bar & boat rental / boat taxi service). Whilst old and only maintained to a basic / old fashioned level, it is nice 3 bed place with a small pool and everything that you need including groceries, towels, toys for kids, games etc (washer/dryer/fridge/dishwasher) etc all new. The main reason we picked the house was to enjoy the private beach that is around 800 ft long and only used by 3 or 4 houses. Otherwise the high price (over 750 a day in peak) wouldn't make sense for an old unstylish house. Unfortunately we had a significant "red ride effect" whilst we were there with 50-100 dead fish being washed up on the beach each day and one rough sea day with 300+ dead fish covering the beach. The sea removed the 50-100 dead fish but not the other fish, so that after a couple of days there were rotting fish all with the associated problems (terrible smell, flies, scavenger animals etc). We didn't get any help from the home-owner, so we had to clean up the rotting fish ourselves because the smell was so bad, plus the associated risks to our kids especially our 18 month year old. The home-owner was nice but a little intrusive, coming by too many times, and we were expected to do our own pool servicing, accommodate him showing prospective renters around, & have construction during our stay. Also owner reengaged on pre-arranged late checkout & tried to circumvent vrbo and add extra fees etc

A Little Bit of Heaven

An absolutely fantastic home with everything we could have asked for in a tropical getaway. Wake up in the morning to spectacular Gulf views. Spend days swimming, sunning, fishing. or just sitting on the sun deck watching the dolphins and the waves. Everything you need for all the above is here. Chairs, umbrellas, towels. If the sun gets to be a bit much, head back to the house, dip in the pool, cool off, enjoy a late afternoon margarita, and wait on the sunset. The home is beautifully appointed, with with top shelf appliances. Frank is an amazing host, always available. We had high expectations based on the pictures and conversations with Frank but all expectations were exceeded. Of note, the house and refrigerator were stocked with food and drinks, and Frank and Carla left a welcome bottle of wine with flowers on the dining table. There are several restaurants and Tiki bar in very short walking distance but this home is located within easy driving distance of attractions in Venice and Sarasota...without the congested feel of Lido or Siesta Key. We would never stay anywhere else in this area. My dad's birthday was the reason multiple family members gathered in the area. All who visited this spectacular home were wowed by the house layout and the beautiful private beach 25 steps from your patio door. We look forward to the opportunity to return. We can't thank you enough Frank.

The Perfect Vacation!

This was a dream vacation for our family, and we will cherish the memories forever. The owner of the property, Frank, was the most hospitable, and genuine host we’ve ever met. He made certain we had everything we could have ever needed and then some. The property is located in a very quiet neighborhood, and is absolutely stunning inside and out. Frank treated us just like family, and we can’t wait to come back and visit again! Thank you for an unforgettable trip, sir! Adam, Katie, Ava, Khloe and Nora
