Beautiful 3/2.5 House Big Fenced Yard -Walk to Beach, coffee, food -Dog Friendly

About this listing

This summer/fall only, significant additional discount for multi-month rental.

The house is a bright, newer construction (in 2011) 3 bedroom home near the Siesta Beaches. This property is nestled in a quiet community a 10 minute walk from the white sands of Siesta Key’s Crescent Beach and 3 blocks from the shops, restaurants and boat rentals of Stickney Point Bridge area. There are plenty of good restaurants, pizza, ice cream and boat and bike rentals within walking distance.

This is situated at the front of a large 0.4 acre property with over half of it a fenced-in, grass backyard. Kids and dogs love the safe environment in which to play as adults watch from the large screened lanai, kitchen, or great room.

The home has a lovely terrazzo-type floor, A/C, washer and dryer, gas BBQ, a fully-functional, fully outfitted kitchen, fast internet, and WiFi throughout the house and lanai. You can use your Netflix account on the smart TV. Our family travels in by plane from California and New Hampshire, so everything needed for things like Thanksgiving dinner is there.

The master BR has a king bed. The other two BRs have a queen and a pair of twin beds. One of the photos shows the split layout floor plan with entry to the master from one end of the greatroom and guest BRs on the other. The large lanai is screened.

We built this place to our own design specifically as a bright and airy Siesta Key beach house. It is designed to accommodate our family and dogs for vacations in carefree, tasteful and low maintenance living. This house is designed to stand up to 150 mph hurricane winds, with low energy usage due to its special construction. We have tried to make this a turn-key place for visitors to enjoy, from Keurig and drip coffee makers to hairdryers to beach toys, we have outfitted it for our use and yours. There is also a guest book, that we and visitors update with menus and brochures from local sites and vendors, including such things as rentals for cribs, baby strollers and sports equipment. Aside from the beach, within walking distance are coffee shops, restaurants, ice cream, pizza, boat and bike rentals, etc.

This property is located across the Intercoastal Waterway from Siesta Key on Beechwood Ave., which means you can visit the beaches without having to put up with traffic on the only two bridges, it is a quieter location, and the price is right. An advantage of single family homes is that you are not limited to a single car.

The local manager is a few blocks away. She will take care of your needs and of course, you can always contact us with problems, questions, suggestions or feedback. The property is under contract with various services, such as Cable, HVAC, pest control, lawn care, and like the manager, we can also initiate service calls if needed.

Unique Benefits

This is a single family home with a large, fully fenced back yard with both sunny and shaded areas. The location was specifically chosen for the nearby coffee shops, eateries (none of which are national chains), watercraft rentals, local grocery store, etc. And all of that is just outside the neighborhood, so it is quiet at the house. The neighbors are all friendly, about half retired and half younger working folks.

Out winter renters tend to return each year. Three of those have since purchased their our houses in this same neighborhood, mostly because they weren’t able to gain enough seniority with us to take over all three months.

Why Kids Love It

The nearby water and beach of course. But also the big yard with a good supply of kid and dog savvy squirrels and birds.

During the summer there are some very interesting camps, like swimming, rowing, tennis, marine biology, and circus skills.
