Had a great time! House was very clean and comfortable. Had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. We didn’t need to bring anything for our beach days since the owners supplied lots of beach items (umbrella, wagon chairs etc) The house is within walking distance of a small beach but it was too small for spending the day but we were able to drive to the main beach area that had plenty of parking and a huge beach. Would definitely stay here again!

Perfectly fit our needs
This was perfect for our family. We had 6 adults and one infant. (parents and 2 married sons). This home has several gathering places for all of us to hang out together, yet we all had our own private
space. Gracious host and prompt responses when needed. Everyone loved it and had a great vacation. I wish it could have lasted another week!

Not worth the money
Expectations of a property in the price range of the rental property fall well below satisfaction.
Rats in the pool area/backyard is inexcusable.
While enjoying the pool, in midday, rats, not mice, were walking through the backyard from the yard area to the grill and under the staircase. They were difficult to frighten and discourage from the area. You may confirm we never used the grill nor dined near the pool so food debris can not be the causative agent. This is absolutely unacceptable. The lack of response by the rats led us to believe this was not the first time they made the pool area their home. If reparation is not offered , the torn and social media will be engaged.
The pool / back yard fence was in disrepair. A 12 foot section of fencing was missing and a flimsy plastic band was used in its place. The fence was the security barrier from the main street. The absence of fencing posed a security and child safety issue. We were not informed of this prior to rental.
The appliances in the cabinet under the utensils were all dirty. Both appliances and fitted containers required washing.
The windows are not of a standard to provide noise reduction. The master bedroom had the intrusion of backyard bbq and porch noise well into midnight. The neighbors were not loud on a pleasant evening but the windows offered no noise isolation. The Queen bedrooms had full on noise from the main road which is a 24/7 throughway into Siesta Key. This was a major sleep disturbance.
It's located on a very busy road on a sharp turn very dangerous if you have little kids. They said the beach was a 5 min walk. It's not a beach. It's a private small area. Pool could of been cleaned before we got there. They clean it once a week. It should be planned around the last tenant. The deck could of been renovated or power washed. Dirty and moldy.
It's also annoying they don't provide any toiletries. They had only 2 kitchen towels.
The sliding door to pool on the left side was broken. My 2 year got out a few times and headed toward pool
The outlets in the bedroom to the right was broken. So we couldn't plug in our phones
Overall - it was not with the amount of money we spent.

Great Family Vacation
We loved our stay at Shell Beach House. The property was clean. The pool was great - we paid extra to have it heated. It does require a drive to get to Siesta Key beach which was not a problem for us because with a 9 month old, we utilized the pool more than the beach. Shell beach (a very small beach) is within walking distance and my 4 year old enjoyed that. Being on the corner of a main road, there was some loud traffic on the weekend but it calmed down after 10 pm or so. Overall, we very much enjoyed our stay. Great place for a family vacation!

Fantastic vacation!
Beautiful home & pool, we truly enjoyed everything about this rental property. Morning coffee overlooking the tropical pool setting, very spacious home with everything you need. Perfectly outfitted for a day at the beach, umbrellas, chairs, cooler. Property Management company was one of the best we ever worked with. Highly recommend & we will be back!

Great location and spacious
The home was nice and spacious and great for having adult age kids. Nice having rooms with queen size and king size beds. Downside would be the WiFi. None of us had our phones on WiFi, and could only use one TV at a time and that still buffered. Had to have property manager come in. But it was still a problem. Definitely could not work remotely from there.

Family trip to Florida
We loved our stay here! The outside oasis would bring us to come back here again. The pool and downstairs patio was wonderful. Would love to have had an outside bathroom but other than that it was a wonderful experience. Not in the super touristy area but a 5-7 min drive to the beach, which was a plus for us.

Beautiful House
This house itself was beautiful and fit us all perfectly. Has everything you need. Pool was fun too. The biggest downfall for us was location. I thought we could walk to the beach. You can walk to a pile of sand no bigger than a front lawn but its not really a beach. It was packed in that area so no where to even sit. You can't go outside that little area as there are rocks. So for us we had to load up and go to public parking which of course is super busy. I was under the impression we could have true beach access just walking distance. I live to take coffee and walk along the beach in the morning. Just couldn't do that. The trolly was available but we came at a very busy time so having to wait wasn't fun. Overall the property was beautiful and had we known more about the beach area ahead of time it might not have been a disappointment.

Great Place but Traffic is so Loud!
House and pool were great. Beach access is a lot further than what is stated in description if you have more than 2 people wanting to go to beach. Traffic is awful and extremely loud!! Cars are constant drag racing and music loudest you have ever heard! Siesta needs to consider having some noise ordinance for sure!!

Great house on a great island
We loved the house! Lots of space, good location. The only downfall is that the house is located on a busy street corner so it was a bit noisy early in the morning (construction traffic coming onto the island) and late in the evening (motorcycles and other loud cars speeding past). Otherwise a very quiet neighborhood. House had everything we needed for a great stay. Would definitely stay here again!

Great Home-Away-from-Home
Nice well-kept home. Open layout was excellent for family. Enclosed deck was enjoyable. Bit of street noise was bothersome but usually died off about midnight. Would have liked a rack or line to hang swim suits and towels to dry.

Beautiful home
House was beautiful, spacious, clean and had every amenity that we needed. Great location, the only downside is it’s right next to the busy road and you get a lot of traffic noise especially at weekend, however, this didn’t spoil our stay and is only a minor point. Would stay here again and would recommend.

Almost an A+
Everything about this property was perfect for our family...except the lack of ESPN on the TV. We were there during the busiest football week of the year for college bowl games, we had 5 large TVs, we are huge college football fans and we watched ESPN on a mini I-Pad sitting on the coffee table with 7 people around it. After paying premium rent for a holiday week, we would have thought the owners could have spent $10-15 more a month for the next level of cable. ESPN did not allow any kind of hook-ups to get it onto a TV screen. Very disappointing. Otherwise the property was great. A lot of traffic to get to the beautiful public beach, but that was probably because of the holiday.

Great spot
We enjoyed our stay thoroughly. The pool and the proximity to the beach were both amazing. We were extremely happy with the house and all the came with it. We had pool and beach supplies that were available to us. The only thing to keep in mind is that there is very little in the way of spices and condiments. And there is only one roll of TP per bathroom. If you are a group of more than 2-3 people, be sure to grab some when you stop at the grocery store. Although there were a few things that could have been provided, it didn’t stop us from having a wonderful vacation. I would recommend staying at this house and we will certainly come back to this property if we find ourselves in Sarasota again. Thank you for providing such a great house!!

We had a wonderful stay at Shell Beach Home. Everyone was impressed with how beautiful the house was. The pool and the gorgeous landscaping surrounding it were especially a big hit. We were very impressed with the fact that there were plenty of floats, beach towels, chairs, a cooler, and a beach wagon for use. This was convenient for those like us that fly in. We added a beach umbrella and beach chair to the collection. The house had great proximity to Siesta Beach and the village. The only housewide complaint was that the lack of window coverings made it difficult to get a good nights rest. Overall, highly enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to others.

This place was perfect for all 6 of us! Our boys loved the pool and we were grateful that we could use the pool toys and beach things so we didn't have to buy extr stuff. The pool and deck was such a great place to hang. The landscaping was beautiful. The house was clean and things were easy to use and find. Management were attentive and helpful. The only improvement I would make is stronger wifi and we had some connection issues on the TVs. Traffic noise was a little loud but obviously can't help it, we could still relax and enjoy our stay! We'd definitely be back!

An imposing frontage when you first arrive at the property. Big open space within the house and all bedrooms nicely furnished. I found that the house was lacking in large enough dishes for family sized meals and lacked some quality basic essentials for home cooking. With a young family staying with us this was a necessity but overall the house was as we had hoped.

Reviewer Comments:
This is a spacious house with (rarely found in Sarasota rentals) contemporary décor and furnishings, a short walk from a small, untidy and busy beach. The house was immaculately clean, has good wi-fi, TV’s with cable in every room, an excellent heating / air-con system and new washing / drying appliances. There are a few things to be aware of; the house is festooned with security cameras, which presumably the owner can monitor remotely – this gets a bit unnerving at times. The kitchen equipment is pretty basic with only plastic beakers (no glass), no serving bowls, juicer or any of the more useful stuff like a sieve or a measuring jug. The pool is nice and the efficient pool heating was essential for our stay – the pool is shaded by the house from the sun except between 10.30 am and 2.30 pm (December) so plan your day accordingly. Also the house is adjacent to the main Siesta Key through road, so you will share your pool time with the traffic noise and the bugs as the pool is not caged. The main bedroom does not have blinds or curtains on two large side windows so be prepared to be woken up early or bring an eye mask – also one of the many cameras is just outside one window! There is no safe for valuables and no remote for the garage/s so your car will sit outside in the sun. There is a newish gas BBQ, however it is located down some steep stairs to the pool deck which has no lighting at night and the pool area relies on movement activated security lights for illumination. There is also no lighting in the caged outside deck area. Rent Siesta Key manage the property and are generally very efficient although somewhat annoyingly can turn up unannounced and just let themselves in which is just plain discourteous. That said we enjoyed our time at the house and think that the pros probably outweigh the cons so we would consider staying here again.
