Location - Leave the car behind and walk to the beach or to the village for fresh oysters, seafood, drinks, live music, ice cream or even fresh donuts. If you prefer, relax in the tropical garden right on the property. The back garden has space for casual dining and is also westerly facing. You can get fresh fish at the Village Market one block away or catch your own right in front of the house. Each unit has a fully equipped kitchen and a grilling area downstairs. This property comes with a fully accessible owner/host “me”, reliable advice from local experts. Free early check-in, whenever possible! Never hidden fees or solicitations of any kind. No paper contracts and easy booking. Five days before arrival I'll email instructions including your door-code address and guidebook. One day prior to arrival I'll send you a “Reminder” email with all the same information. It is the only rental offering of its kind on the key.

Amenities - Paddle boards kayaks and bicycles provided free of charge, but subject to availability. Because of shipping delays, if a group prior to arrival loses items we may have a restocking delay. Anything we are missing can be rented nearby.

History - Casa Van Lopik (Canal) was named for my father who was a ships captain and sailed the world for 30 years but always insisted Siesta Keys beaches were most beautiful.

Beach Gear - Correction for Air-b-n-b listings. We provide beach towels and beach chairs at every location, umbrellas and carts at most locations, and do not provide "snorkeling gear" at any locations. Sorry for the confusion. Snorkeling gear can be rented or purchased nearby.

Support Post Booking - I understand vacation time is precious and I will make sure you get the most out of it. My number is the only contact information you need. My units are at the top attractions on the island. Cars are never required, but you will have private parking near the unit. Check-in any day of the week at any time using your private door-code. No requirement ever at checkout. Free early check-in when possible. Never hidden fees or solicitations. Every unit including this one is available for instant booking.

When you book with me you get a fully accessible and knowledgeable owner/host and reliable advice from a G-approved local expert. I can recommend the best spot for fishing or fresh fish, Michigan or Ohio State games, romantic-dinners marriage-proposals or singles, Eco-tourism, family friendly activities, or safe ways to lose your kids when you need a break. For the less extroverted, every booking comes with an unabashed guidebook detailing the property, all my favorite things to do in the area, and never any advertisements or solicitations. This is the only rental offering of its kind on the key.
