About this property

Just a three minute walk from the white sand of the world renowned Siesta Beach

Nestled on the serene and inviting Crescent Street, a true wood picket fence is the classic cottage signature which perfectly frames the tropical landscaping and delightful curb appeal.

Modern comforts of the 1,465 square foot cottage include a new kitchen with Granite counter tops, tile back splash, new stainless appliances, new front loader washer and dryer.

The floor plan gives an abundance of natural light, its a bright and sunny cottage near the sea's edge.

The gracious 500 square foot lanai offers views of the private, brick paver, fully fenced yard, with a custom built stainless outdoor kitchen, featuring a large grill and rotisserie, a refrigerator and two burner stove, surrounded by a custom built stone bar with seating for eight on luxury bar stools. Nearby is a blue glass gas fire pit with an inviting seating area and an over sized, in-ground "spool" (9 ft. in diameter with seating), coordinating loungers, ,and a large circular convertible shaded daybed.

Super Property with a Super Host

The home is very spacious and comes equipped with everything you would need for a stay at the beach. We brought our pup and he loved the spacious fully fenced in patio. The home inside was clean and it was very comfortable for our family of 7 to stay. The walk to the beach is just down the street. The host was very friendly, accommodating and responsive. 10/10 all around.

Relaxing Family Time in Siesta Key

Our time at your cottage in Siesta Key was so very relaxing whether sitting on the beach or chilling at the cottage. Resting in the shade on the outdoor couch or under the umbrellas at the beach were favorites of ours. Burgers on the outdoor grill, breakfasts on the lanai and evenings in the spool were also high on our lists. Our communication with the owner was excellent and our weather was beautiful!!

Charming cottage right by the beach!!

We loved our stay at this charming cottage during spring break. It is pretty much exactly as pictured on Vrbo! We had two adults and four teenagers. It was great because they could walk to the beach on their own and catch the trolley or the other free rides to head into town. The location is a charming neighborhood of cottages. Nice change from all the high-rise gated community condos on the beach. The backyard area is fabulous. The home is well stocked with necessities so we did not need to spend money on the basics like garbage bags, salt, pepper, spices, etc. Madeline the host is incredibly responsive and hospitable! There is everything you need for the beach as well. Towels, beach chairs, sand toys, coolers and two cruiser bicycles! “The Village” area is about 3 miles away so not really walkable from this location, but with all the free transport not a big deal. You can walk to several shops, ice cream and coffee shops and restaurants from here so we enjoyed that. The beach is wonderful. Very crowded during spring break so probably would be even nicer with less people. We really enjoyed our stay and Madeline is a great host. She is the owner, so you are not dealing with a property management company. I highly recommend this homey cottage!

Family celebration of 4 generations

House was perfectly set-up with everything we needed for our 4 generation birthday party - and days at the beach. Private backyard was a dream. House is colorful and nicely decorated but not too precious for everyone to relax. Host was very accommodating when we had questions. A truly lovely vacation!

Absolutely Wonderful

We fell in love with this place as soon as we walked in the door. The backyard was perfect for our fur baby and we loved the spool and fire pit. Even had a few bunnies running around here and there. It has a shed in the back that is loaded with tons of beach gear. The outside shower was perfect for rinsing off after hanging at the beach all day. The house was also perfect. I have never stayed in a place that has been so well stocked and clean! I could go on and on about this rental. I am already looking forward to staying here again...real soon!!! Thanks Madeline for being such a great hostess and sharing your home with us. You are so awesome!

Vacation over the holidays

My daughter found this property and the location didn’t disappoint. It’s close to the beach and walkable to restaurants/stores. Using the trolley or shuttles is recommended when heading to Siesta Village for a night out. Very convenient! This is our 3rd trip to Siesta Key and found it extremely busy over the holidays. The weather was beautiful so that made up for the waiting in lines. Overall, wonderful experience!

About the host

Hosted by Madeline Brogan

Host profile image
As a Sarasota resident of 30 years I have always loved Siesta Key. The area is the perfect relaxation spot. I purchased this completely renovated house a few years ago as a weekend retreat without the travel; it's 40 minutes from my home. I have thoroughly enjoyed decorating it with all new furnishings that fit perfectly with the relaxed island feeling this cottage radiates.

Why they chose this property

I looked at many properties for my own vacation home ownership but found the true gem in my own back yard, just a few steps from the beautiful beach with adequate parking; never having to jostle for a parking spot again at the public beach was a huge selling point for me. As an added benefit, the backyard is its own private oasis. I added a custom built outdoor kitchen and bar so that I could relax with friends and enjoy wonderful family get-togethers. I know that you will love this cottage as much as my family and I do.

What makes this property unique

Just a few steps from the beautiful Crescent Beach and Point of Rocks.
Parking for up to 5 cars.
Secluded private oasis with a outdoor kitchen, bar and bar seating for up to 8.
Tile floors throughout.
Loungers and day beds to relax and soak up the sun.
Modern kitchen with front loading washer and dryer.
Just a walk away from restaurants, bars and the local 7-11 or take a free door to door shuttle (tips only) to Siesta Key Village.
This is a true vacation home.
