About this property

Siesta Key Cottage: Ground level, private pool, recently renovated. Old Florida!


Siesta Key offers an affordable St. George Island vacation experience. Enjoy relaxing in the 2nd home to be built on St. George Island. Siesta Key is a true Florida cottage built in the 50's the home offers the comfort that can only be found in a quiet beach cottage.

Siesta Key is a short walk from the sandy beaches of St George Island and a stone's throw from the lighthouse and Blue Parrot restaurant. With easy access to the town and the water, there is always plenty to do while staying at Siesta Key. If you are in the market for something fancy this is not for you. Siesta Key is a great place to kick back, do some fishing-beaching and enjoy the simpler things in life.

The home has 3 bedrooms- 1 king, 1 queen and 2 twins. In the living room enjoy the sofa and flat-screen TV. Enjoy a warm cup of coffee in the comfortable kitchen or take it on the rooftop patio while watching the waves.

In the evening enjoy the deck off the front of the house and grill the catch of the day.

Check in and keys will be issued by my management company on the island. Suncoast-

Sufficient for our needs

It is not the most glamourous place but it worked for what we needed. Could use some updating to the floors and clean up of the outside area around the house. The dishes and bed sheets were not clean upon arrival

The best

This is the 2nd time we have stayed at Siesta Key. The location is undeniably one of the best on the island! The property is easy to manage for anyone with some mobility issues and the pool is divine! We especially enjoy the layout of the property for two friends that sometimes need their own space. The view from the upper deck is my favorite for morning coffee. A quick walk to the beach and grabbing some fresh shrimp from the Captain makes each day.

Nice Place

We stayed 9 nights. Everything about Siesta Key is serviceable. Nothing is fancy or like the big fancy homes on SGI, but it is everything you need. Warm,dry, and close to the beach. It reminds me of lake cottages back home. Historic and functional.

Family Christmas Trip

The house has a lot of character. Plusses are proximity to the beach, pool (although we did not use it), one story layout, clean. Downside: need some renovations to make it feel a little safer for families with young children and elderly. Overall, an enjoyable stay for our family.

We had a wonderful week at Key West!! Walk to the beach was so easy and the pool was great to have. House was well stocked and our family enjoyed the screened in porch. There were even floats and beach toys there. Would stay again for sure.

Siesta Key

The cottage with it's Old Florida feel was just what we needed for a relaxing mini vacation. A short walk to the beautiful beach and the pool was the perfect size for our family. We hope to return next year! Thanks again for letting us make your home our home.

Loved this place!

Siesta Key is such as fun, quirky house! We've been coming to SGI for years, and we love the quaint beach cottages versus the massively overpriced McMansions cropping up. This house has charm, is a 2 minute walk from the beach, and is super cozy. Lots of space, a private pool, and close to everything! I would stay here again in a heartbeat. My husband and I had a great time.

Siesta Key, Great family vacation

Property owner was great to deal with, and made provisions to add another day to our stay at the last minute. The property itself was exactly what had been presented, it was clean, functional and the furnishings worked very good, for our family. The pool was one of the highlights of the property for us, the kids thoroughly enjoyed it, to the point of setting their iPads/streaming video games down to use it. We would definitely enjoy another stay at this historic property.

Perfect for family of four with fur children too😊

It was clean, everthing worked properly and efficiently and the pool was wonderful. It's not fancy as this was noted in the description because it is one of the oldest homes on the island, however if you're looking for a great location close to everything you can ride your bikes to, then this is your spot!! We had a wonderful time.

Great Rustic Beach Cottage

My family stayed in Siesta Key Cottage for a week and loved it. The cottage is a charming rustic beach cottage that was just a short walk to the beach. The pool and the rooftop lookout was the best part. The kids played in the pool during the day and we enjoyed the rooftop lookout every night. The moon was so big that week you felt like you could almost touch it. The cottage has everything we needed for our family vacation. We will be returning next year!!!

Cute & Clean

After reading this was the 2nd oldest house on the island I was a bit concerned however the house everything we needed for a fun filled family weekend. I actually booked this house thinking it was a different property if Karries that I booked a few years prior... similar style & name. I have been please with two of her properties. Looking forward to another visit.

The house was definitely dated with some issues .

We were only there 2 nights but enjoyed our stay. The bathrooms definitely need some updating. We might not have enjoyed it as much if we had stayed the week. The pool was awesome! I did appreciate the old charm of the house. Just a few minor updates would make it better!

Repairs Needed

The house is simple and would have been perfect for us. But there were a number of repairs needed: Decking both front and back yard - seriously dangerous. Microwave handle was broken off and beeped F3. Dryer took a long time to dry a very small light load. One shower was only luke warm water, the other...fine? Storage was very limited in every bedroom. French door bolt stuck. Very minimal supplies. No hairdryer. Directions for the TVs would have been helpful. I called management company twice and never saw anyone. We unplugged the microwave and figured out how to get bolt to open on french doors. The out door furniture was cracked and seen better days. Why do you need to go to real estate office when it is a key-less entry? That made no since. The pool was wonderful....very clean! Walk to the beach was easy and it was close to everything!

Just what we needed…

This property is as described. It had everything we needed for a wonderful time. Great location, short walk to the ocean, across from a bike path and close to town. We really appreciated the pool and washer/dryer. Property owner and management company responsive if needed. You may have mansion envy staying here but it’s a great deal if you value not spending a lot and you don’t need fancy to have a wonderful, relaxing time. Would stay here again and that truly is the best thing I can say in a review.

Great Location

Property is as described. It’s a short walk to the beach and shops. The pool was great, and I was surprised the bunk room was larger than the picture shows. Kitchen was very clean. I love the feel of the older houses and not having stairs was great! I gave 4 stars because it needs updating. Especially the windows and decking. The backyard which isn’t pictured at all was a nice little surprise with all the shade. Communication with the host was excellent both before and during our stay.

SGI CHILI CRAWL AKA CHILI COOK-OFF MARCH 2021

We booked Siesta Key for the weekend of the Chili Cook-Off, which turned out to be a Chili Crawl for the business of SGI. Which was still a great time. Siesta Key is in a great location, we rented a golf cart and had a wonderful time. The property was as presented in the photos. Nice older home, and pet friendly!! When we arrived the house was nice and clean, it was a great stay for us. The pool is also nice, although we did not get in, not quite pool weather yet! The owner is great to communicate with as well, very quick to respond to questions. Thank you for having a great affordable place to stay at SGI!

About the host

Hosted by K. Shack

Host profile image
My family and I take pride in offering affordable beach vacations. Having said that we do not offer heated pools, extravagant furnishings, televisions that span the entirety of a wall. We do offer a safe, comfortable vacation home that will not break your budget and allows for memories to be made on this picturesque island. If you are looking for an over the top expensive home please look elsewhere.

Why they chose this property

Siesta Key is the second oldest home on the island and it was important to us to keep the old Florida charm while upgrading this home. Siesta Key has undergone some major overhauling over the last several months and we hope that it is as pleasing to our guests as it is to us. I want to thank all that have been patient and understanding while the renovations have taken place.

What makes this property unique

affordable vacation home preserving the old Florida charm.
