This canal side cottage was a perfect retreat for busy people like us! Two weeks in June - perfect! It's super close to the Siesta Key Village, in fact we enjoyed riding up on the bikes they provided, hopping in for a few groceries and riding back, or riding up for dinner and music! We also rode up for the sunset ceremony at the pier.
It is close, but not too close! The street was quiet, and we slept well! Nice beds/bedding, plenty of towels and such. The great surprise is that the road from the cottage to the beach lines up to a perfect beach access spot (Beach Access 11) which is nestled between two busier beach access areas, providing an oasis with much fewer tents and people and a lovely wide open view of amazing sand and gorgeous water. We appreciated the chairs and wagon for toting beach gear since we flew down!
We greatly enjoyed using the kayaks provided throughout the canal and spotted manatee and interesting fish and birds while seeing the beautiful homes on the canal from the water.
The cottage looks just like the pictures, the pool is so nice apres beach! Also, at night it was a delight to float under the stars. The kitchen is bright and overlooks the pool and has plenty for the chef to work with, we loved picking up fresh fish and searing up delicious meals to eat by the pool.
The owner and team were very responsive and provided excellent communication. We felt nestled, supported, and had a wonderful time! We highly recommend this Siesta Key cottage!
