About this property

Stylish Retreat on Private Crescent Beach

Our place on the #1 Siesta Key beach is near Siesta Key village, downtown Sarasota, Lido Key, St Armand s circle and LongBoat Key. You’ll love our place because of the location, and the ambiance. The best feature - few steps to private Crescent beach (no hike across busy streets to get to the beautiful crystal sands!)
The building is on a quiet street with no through traffic making it a pleasure to roam safely.

****we did NOT incur damages to the unit during Helene and Milton. Places below us are in renovation phase. There is work being done as of March25. Workers can only work during daylight hours and are respectful of guests.please reach out to me if any questions. In emergency situations that impact water , electric etc. will be communicated as soon as I am aware. There are times when a unit below you may have a leak and they may have to come shut water off to check or there are times when the exterminator does rounds. These things are not often scheduled so please understand I do everything to let you know. If a guest won’t allow them access then the unit won’t be sprayed for another quarter and I-cannot schedule separate insect control

A tranquil and serene condo. Kim communicated so well before and during our stay. The place was clean and modern and all great little touches that helped us enjoy our time even more. Highly recommend!! This is a perfect location - close to public beaches but also the perfect private beach which was perfect for us!

Beautiful Condo! Close to beach.

Condo is very clean and comfortable with an updated beach feel. The owner lives nearby and is quick to address any questions. All hotel type amenities are provided as well as all kitchen needs, cleaning supplies, games, beach supplies, and more. The beach gate is steps away to a beautiful private beach area. We hope to come again.

Perfect Winter Escape

This was a girlfriend get-a-way. We were looking for the perfect place to escape the cold and snow. The condo was clean and provided everything we needed. The location provided easy access to the beach. It’s also a quick walk to catch a shuttle to the Village. The pool was clean and the temperature was comfortable. Kim was extremely responsive and pleasant from initial contact and throughout our stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the condo to friends or family.

Great Stay in Siesta Key

First trip for my family to Siesta Key. Great location and private beach access which was awesome for our kids. Short drive to many Siesta Key restaurants/shops as well. Kim is one of the best hosts we have ever met in terms of communication. Easy check in/check out and Kim helped us feel very welcome in the property and around the surrounding Siesta Key/Sarasota area. Thank you!

Siesta Key is Heaven!

Kim was the perfect host. We stayed a few weeks after the hurricane and she communicated with us every step of the way. Her condo is beautiful and was the perfect place to stay for a quick girls weekend for my daughter’s 16th birthday. The beaches on Siesta Key are gorgeous. Every part of this trip was perfect!

Sweet Retreat

This quiet oasis is very well decorated, exceptionally clean, comfortable, and with all needs considered. From shampoo to coffee filters, cooler to wagon, Kim has thought of it all. Perfect location- just steps to private silky sand through a sea grape canopy. Kim treated me like a lifelong friend allowing me to use her vacation home. Great communication and family like hospitality

Responsive and caring!

Sadly our family vacation was during a near hurricane that changed into a tropical storm that involved torrential rain, flooding, and tornado. Therefore we really didn’t get the full experience of the location. This has no fault on this property or host. The host Kim was amazing before we arrive and during our stay. She has been the most caring host we ever had!! Property was clean and comfortable, highly recommend. We will be back Kim!

This was a short stay, but so needed! The condo is perfect, well equipped with amenities and sparkling clean! Do not walk, RUN to this property that's on a private beach. It is so much less crowded than the public side. We saw dolphins several times! Kim was a wonderful host who goes above and beyond for her guests. Thank you for the wonderful R&R!

Awesome beach house getaway!

Kim was a fabulous host! Excellent communication. The beach house was the perfect size for my husband and our two girls. Very clean and fully stocked! The beach access was amazing and my kids spent hours playing with the provided sand toys. The small details made it a very positive experience… cooler, beach umbrella, wagon, beach towels… it was all there! We would definitely come back! Our only recommendation would be a firmer queen mattress. Thanks for a heavenly stay!

Clean and cute!

Our family had a lovely stay during February 2024 at Kim's place. It was clean, nicely furnished and the proximity to the beach cannot be beat! Our kids (5 and 7) appreciated the games, pool and beach toys available. The beds were comfortable and the place was quiet. The pool is a short walk away close up to the main road, but most days we were the only ones swimming! Kim was a very responsive and helpful host always checking in to make sure we were enjoying our stay. We'd love to come back to stay at this place!

About the host

Hosted by kim mccool

Host profile image
I am enjoying life in Sarasota as a full time mom, part time pharmacist and property manager of our beach place. My favorite motto is " be the change you want to see in the world" it applies to so many things. I could never live without my family, a good dark roast coffee or the beach. We visit and use our beach place often, it is an extension of our home.

Why they chose this property

New to VRBO and Homeaway. After owning this unit for 9 years we are happy to reveal a complete renovation. We have taken all into consideration and bringing a new kitchen and bath along with new floors, paint and furnishings.
