About this house rental
Slow it down and relax. Stay on beautiful Siesta Key, home of the #1 beach in the nation! Our separate guest house is the perfect place to enjoy the tranquility of an island paradise vacation, while still located in the heart of Sarasota. The house is an historic Ralph Twitchell mid-century modern, completely remodeled with the latest amenities, 2000 sq. ft. open floor plan, walk-in showers, and gourmet kitchen. You'll enjoy water access with great fishing or sunbathing off our private dock with kayaks on quiet Robert's Bay, or mosey on down to the island beach. Private access to your own private heated swimming pool (see notes below), all of this in your backyard, on this exclusive island cul-de-sac makes the ambiance unbeatable. Every amenity you can imagine is available. We provide it all -- pack light!

MORE INFORMATION

Pool Notes: The private pool is heated and screened in. The pool is kept at 81℉. If you want a warmer pool we can discuss this when you arrive. The heater has a safety feature and automatically shuts off when outside temperatures fall to below 50℉. Why? Because the heater's coolant cannot function properly at lower temps.

This is a non-smokers home. If you smoke please find other accommodations. Smokers are not permitted to rent the home. It will not be tolerated in or around the property. You will be asked to leave without refund if smoking is detected or we discover that you or a guest is a smoker. Smoking in the home is not the only issue; It's carrying the smell through luggage and clothes into the home. This rule applies to all forms of smoking including e-cigs, vaping, hookah, etc. Any use of illegal drugs will be reported to the authorities. Medicinal Marijuana is not an exclusion to these smoking rules.
No wedding parties or wedding guest may rent the home.
When you and/or your party rent this property you contractually agree to hold harmless the owners in the event of any loss, including but not limited to events that occur while using the kayaks, bikes, tennis court, basketball court, etc.

Really enjoyed the property. The tennis court and basketball hoop was a bonus. I was able to teach my wife Pickleball on it! My son was with his friends and were able to play pick up basketball in the afternoons.Walking to the dock and sitting and watching the boats as a treat. Very accessible to Siesta, Key village and Northbridge. We were able to get lots of sun in the pool as well!Looking forward to staying there again.

Excellent clean property and helpful host. The property show some wear due the damage from multiple hurricanes in 2024 but it also shows the restoration the host is painstakingly making. Brett couldn’t be nicer, and is very accommodating. Properly has everything you need per the listing and fun extras like access to the bball and tennis court which we had fun with.. if your vibe is slightly away from the action of the village this is a great listing to book.

Our family had a wonderful time and stay at the Bay Isle property. The property is well maintained, clean, and in a great location for on or off island activities. You could spend your day at the house with the many onsite activities (swimming, tennis, kayaking the intercoastal) or head out and explore the area. Our hosts, Brett and Cyndi, were beyond accommodating whether providing dining options and things to do, supplying a new appliance after one wasn't working, or giving tennis tips and instruction to our children. We will definitely return when we come back to the area.
