About this property

Unique private Canal home w/pool- walk to Village. Quiet Hours Observed

This enchanting, two-story, canal-front ‘castle-like,’ private home with pool and spa is situated on Siesta Key within a block of the village and short walk to the beach. With five tastefully decorated bedrooms, four and a half baths, granite tiled kitchen, and large living space, there is plenty of space for the whole family. Whether you are poolside, cruising the canals or strolling on the crystal white sand, Castle on the Key provides the amenities you deserve during your island stay. We have recently added the 2nd bedroom suite with king bed and sitting room with futon.

This house is only a block from the center of the village and very convenient to several beaches. You can stroll to a variety of restaurants, boutiques, grocery stores, other specialty shops, and nightlife. Guests can enjoy the natural beauty of Siesta on foot, bike, boat, or kayak. Visitors also enjoy nearby Sarasota for world class marinas, art galleries, theater, and recreational amenities. Also your family’s Disney trip is only two hours drive. Outside you will enjoy the 30 X 14 lagoon pool, spa, and brick terrace sundeck. There is also a mini-castle in the rear for pool stuff- next to the canal, we have a 20 ft dock. We have weber gas grill and outdoor shower near the pool. We have a nice varieties of palm trees and tropical landscaping as well as our Banyan tree near the water.

Easy walk to Siesta Key Village
This property was very conveniently located to the Village. Our family enjoyed the lovely pool area and float toys. The home is dated but adequate for my family. It doesn't appear as clean as it could be because of it's age. Kitchen was well stocked with dishes pots and pans etc.

Great location plenty of space
Location was great! Close to downtown Siesta Key, super easy walk. Close to the beach. Tons of beach chairs, beach toys, wagon, coolers and umbrellas for the beach, which was very nice. We had 2 teenagers 5 adults. Everyone had their own room plenty of bathrooms. The blender was broken and Don brought us a new one the next day. He was very responsive. I also had to buy some frying pans and a part for the grill which Don paid me for. I did recommend to him that he talk to his cleaning people. When we got there the kitchen was dirty lots of ants, lots of dust, the couch was dirty and I don’t think anyone ever cleaned under the furniture. There was a lot of crumbs which brought on the ants. After I cleaned the kitchen a few times the kitchen was much better, but we dealt with ants in the living room. It’s not all on Don and his cleaners. You can tell when other renters don’t clean up after themselves. But when you own a vacation home you need to be ready to deal with that and clean up after them.

The perfect family vacation
This is the second summer we've stayed at Castle on the Key and it's become our favorite vacation spot. We love that we can walk to the village easily, take the kayaks out for a spin on the canal, and access the beaches with a short drive or walk. We plan to come back over and over.

Family vacation June 2023
The house fit our entire family of 12, with plenty of bathrooms and beds. the Pool was so nice and the kids loved fishing off the boat dock out back. We even had access to Kayaks for the older Boys to enjoy. The house was clean and neat with Plenty of towels for everyone. Very close walk to the village and the Neighborhood was very nice and quiet. communication from Don the owner was great! I read the other reviews and I don't believe they are accurate to this property.
