You might see them around the patio, pool, or garage. They’re totally harmless—and actually helpful since they eat bugs like mosquitoes! We have regular professional pest control, but now and then, a gecko gets curious and might sneak in. Welcome to tropical paradise.

Saltwater Siesta was everything we hoped for and more! Our girls trip was a total success – the house had everything we needed, and the pool was an absolute hit. We spent so much time lounging, laughing, and soaking up the Florida sunshine. The beds were super comfy, and every space was thoughtfully designed and fully stocked. It was the perfect home base for our getaway. We’re already planning our next trip back. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing and fun escape in Sarasota!

We had a wonderful stay at Saltwater Siesta! Stephanie is a wonderful host and the house is even better than the pictures! Our family had so much fun with all of the amenities they provided, and loved the personal touches throughout the house. Stephanie was proactive, friendly, and responsive. This is a great house if you want to be centrally located between Anna Maria Island, Sarasota, and Siesta Key. We definitely recommend booking with Stephanie :)

Our stay at the Saltwater Siesta was perfect! They thought of everything to make our stay comfortable. The kids and adults were entertained and comfortable. The space is nicely decorated, yet not cluttered, and very "homey". We loved everything!

This house was perfect for my family and I to enjoy each other and fun in the sun. The house was very well-appointed with nice comfortable furnishings, and most importantly so much to do! My kids loved the garage with arcade games, ping pong, foosball, and they loved the outdoor putting area! The pool was perfect for us and got lots of sun and the extra heat made it very comfortable for our visit. Also, Stephanie was incredibly proactive and communicative, both before our stay and when we had a question about connecting the TV to the internet. I couldn't recommend this rental more highly. It had everything we needed and more, and felt like the host was family!

Stephanie was amazing to rent from and work with. Communication was great and quick. Checkin and out instructions were detailed and clear. She had a ton of information about the house and area in a booklet. She added labels/instructions/ notes around the house, which was very helpful. The house was stocked well, especially the kitchen!! I love all the attention to detail. We had everything we needed to prepare and make meals for our stay. We flew in to the area and didn’t have beach items, but Stephanie had them! We even used the beach chairs for our soccer games. The garage turned game room was fun! I highly recommend the house and if we return to the area we would rent from Stephanie!

This may be the cleanest, most clutter free house we’ve stayed at with Airbnb. It’s cozy too. Everything you would need is provided. A stop at the grocery store for basics and you’re able to cook your own meals. The pool is small but sweet. The only not perfect thing is the plane sounds overhead. We were gone all day every day so it was not an issue. I would stay again, for sure.

We had a fantastic time at the Saltwater Siesta! Stephanie and Jason were very responsive, accommodating, and the location is very drivable to beaches, malls, restaurants, and the best of Sarasota and Bradenton. The house is just as described, and we’re already looking forward to returning again soon!

I visit the Bradenton/Sarasota area fairly often to see family. This particular trip involved my niece’s wedding. During my search for a house to accommodate family (teenager included) I came across Stephanie’s place. It was exactly what I was looking for. Not only was the house conveniently located, it met everything we needed. Upon arrival, the house was spotless. Stephanie even surprised us with a birthday cake and balloons! It was so nice to get settled after a long day of travel and immediately relax in a clean and cozy environment. The games and heated pool were also a hit with the teen. The beds were extremely comfortable and the sheets were so soft and obviously great quality. I would absolutely recommend this home to anyone looking for a spot in Sarasota. Stephanie is quick to respond to any questions, concerns, requests, etc. Again, very happy with our stay! Thanks, Stephanie!

The house was perfect for our weekend stay. Very clean. Bedsheets smelled like they were sanitized as advertised. Kitchen was well equipped and stocked. Was not able to use the pool as it was unseasonably cold during our stay. This was my first experience renting an AirBnB. Definitely exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend and would definitely stay there again.

We had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb in Bradenton, FL! The home was in a really great location for the beach, Ringling Museum, Selby Gardens, and fun places downtown. It was super clean and comfortable, and felt very private. The highlight of our stay was definitely the heated pool, where all the grandkids spent a lot of time. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed, making it easy to cook our meals and enjoy cozy evenings at home. Every detail was thoughtfully taken care of, and the hosts were friendly, accommodating, and really great communicators. We can’t wait to come back for another relaxing getaway. Highly recommend!

We had a fantastic stay at Saltwater Siesta! The host was incredibly thoughtful and responsive and everything was exactly as described in the listing. The house and grounds were clean & well-maintained & internet was strong. The beds were comfy (with lots of pillow and blankets) & we appreciate the blackout curtains & personal fans in each room! The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to enjoy our meals from the start of the day (coffee bar) to the end of the day, and everything in between (a fun popcorn popper for snack!) We also especially loved the short distance from the airport, close proximity to local restaurants & shops, & short drive to both Siesta Key Beach & Anna Maria Island, which were both two of the most amazing beaches (...& sand & water & sunsets!) we've ever seen! We certainly were not ready to leave. Stephanie went above & beyond to make us feel welcome, & we would absolutely stay here again on our next trip to the Sarasota area. Highly, highly recommended!

Stephanie’s house was utterly amazing! From the homy furnishings to the amenities, thoughtful touches to make you feel at home, the game room, and the kids’ fun bedroom, I can’t say enough good things. The pool and lanai area were so fun to relax and spend time with our kids. Gathering by the fire at night under the Florida stars was great! We loved the coffee set up and the kids played games in the morning before our adventures. There’s tons of beach adventures within just a few minutes drive. The chairs and cooler were a wonderful perk so we could be comfy at the beach! Stephanie was an amazing host that you can tell truly cares about your experience and making the best memories for us to take home with. I will be recommending this beautiful house to all my friends and family, and we will be back very soon to enjoy sunny, beautiful Florida! Until next time!!!

We stayed at this airbnb for a quick weekend break we had planned with extended family in Sarasota, and had an absolutely fantastic time. The bedrooms are well-spaced and we all felt like we had our own quiet areas. The kids loved their own area with the ping pong table and the video game. The home was spotless, well stocked, and had a great layout for our group. Everything is brand new, and really well designed. We enjoyed the spacious backyard, pool and lanai, and were just a short 20 min drive from the beach. The neighborhood couldn't have been nicer, there's a park across the street and some fun restaurants less than 10 minutes from the house. We would highly recommend this house, and will be back again soon. Thanks for the great stay!
