We were there when it was unusually cold, so only used the spa once. We had issues with the spa heater, but it was addressed within 24 hrs.Three bathrooms needed to have lightbulbs changed, which was done in a timely manner.Hot water in the kitchen and bathrooms took a very long time to reach the faucets and on one occasion hot water ran out after a bath and a shower (there were 5 of us).The location was terrific, just over the north bridge onto the key, so we avoided a lot of traffic. It’s a great house for a larger group (or the five of us to have private rooms and baths). Upstairs rooms were not as clean as the main floor.Dolphins put on quite a show, as did the cormorants and pelicans. Can’t say enough about the location!In better weather, several outdoor seating/dining areas are available. We really enjoyed the fire pit, tho noted the upholstery could stand an update. Recommendations: do fairly regular property reviews to stay ahead of maintenance. Provide more towels and washcloths, assuming most people use more than 1 washcloth/week.

This is an excellent location to stay, if you enjoy boating around the Sarasota area- plenty of water at low tide, extremely large dock with power and water, it couldn’t be more accommodating! The home is lovely, comfortable and spacious, central to all the area amenities. The owner immediately attends to any needs, in order to make your stay a great one! We spent a month, coming and going with our 40 foot boat every day, and it worked out perfectly. We will certainly be back, it was a great time. In a great place!

Spectacular Home!

The photos do not do this property justice, it is even more beautiful in person. The views of the bay are incredible, the house is immaculate and well appointed with everything you might need. Including baby gear like a pack n play and high chair. The neighborhood is quiet and comfortable. The location is a short drive to the beach and super close to the bridge that connects you to the main part of Sarasota. Communication with the property manager/owner was excellent from beginning to end. We always had quick responses to our messages and phone calls and found the entire process seamless. We will definitely come back to this property again! We loved it.

Awesome place!

This spacious, impeccably clean house is wonderful for large groups. The amenities — swimming pool, hot tub, paddle boards, pool table, etc — and several common areas make it an ideal place to relax, gather, and cook without having to leave. But it’s also conveniently located near grocery stores and a short drive to downtown Sarasota and St. Armand’s Circle. Most importantly, Travis was extremely responsive and helpful in answering our many questions.

This is a great place to stay and I can't recommend it highly enough. Spotlessly clean, in a very quiet and peaceful location. We especially enjoyed the rooftop terrace at night overlooking the water and the reflection of lights. The pool was so relaxing with loungers on the sun shelf. This home is fully equipped with everything. We opted for the golf cart option which made our stay even more enjoyable. The host was great with communication, super quick with responses. If you are looking for a quiet getaway with some amazing views this is a great place to stay! The next time we vacation on Siesta Key we will definitely stay here again.

Absolutely top notch

Having grown up in Siesta Key I know the area very well. My family and I came down to 891 Freeling and the accommodations were above and beyond. The home is spectacular with more than enough room for large family and friends and the rooms are gorgeous with more than enough room in all of them. Sitting on a very spacious pool and hot tub with more than enough outside sitting room it is the ultimate retreat. On top of this you have a dock with kayaks and paddle boards to get excessive and enjoy everything the ocean had to offer! Travis and his team were very easy to reach with snag questions and this has been one of the best family experiences we have had. This is the SPOT!

Fabulous Home!!

This spacious home was very cozy and had many peaceful and serene views of the water with several places indoors and outdoors to gather as a group or to sit quietly and reflect. We spent quiet mornings watching the sun rise up on the third floor crows nest, and had pleasant evenings watching the sun go down. This lovely home is minutes from the white, sandy, world famous beaches of Siesta Key and the Siesta Key Village, which has many different dining and shopping offerings. The home is also located miles from downtown Sarasota, if you are up for seeing the local arts and shops. We enjoyed kayaking, paddle boarding, and fishing every day on the water as well as lounging by the poolside. The pool table, skee ball table, and movie room were great for indoor recreation. The rooms are all wonderfully appointed with everything you need to relax in comfort in this home away from home. The kitchen has so many fabulous amenities and provided a comfortable space for family dinners and entertaining friends and guests alike. Our family enjoyed this retreat and left feeling relaxed and refreshed after our stay.
