About this property

Masters Rowing Championships: Contact me about the Aug. races at Benderson Park.

The house is a bright, constructed in 2005, 3 bedroom home near the Siesta Beaches. This property is nestled in a quiet community a 10 minute walk from the white sands of Siesta Key's Crescent Beach and 3 blocks from the shops, restaurants and boat rentals of Stickney Point Bridge area. There are plenty of good restaurants, coffee shops, pizza, ice cream and boat and bike rentals within walking distance.

This home is built on the property that has been in the family since the '50s, and is situated at the front of a large 0.4 acre property with half of it a fenced-in, grass backyard. Kids and dogs love the safe environment in which to play as adults watch from the large (12' x 40') enclosed lanai, or the kitchen or great room. Two bedrooms (12' by 10' with a queen bed and 12' x 10' with two twin beds) and a full bath are on one side of the house. A large (14' X 28') and open great room is in the middle with a view of the backyard and the lanai through 3 sets of glass French doors. The master bedroom (12' x 13') suite with queen bed, and kitchen are on the other side of the home. The home has a lovely terrazzo-type floor, new furniture, a fully-functional kitchen, fast internet and WiFi throughout the house and part of the back yard..

We built this place specifically as a bright and airy beach house in 2005. It is designed to accommodate our family and pets in carefree, tasteful and low maintenance living. This house is designed to stand up to hurricane winds, with low energy usage due to its special construction. We have tried to make this a turn-key place for visitors to enjoy, from coffee grinders to hairdryers, we have outfitted it for our use and yours. There is also a guest book, that we and visitors update with menus and brochures from local sites and vendors, including such things as rentals for cribs, baby strollers and sports equipment. There are several places to setup an 'office' for those who can't get completely away from work. We hope you enjoy it!

This property is located across the Intercoastal Waterway from Siesta Key on Beechwood Ave., which means you can visit the beaches without having to put up with traffic on the only two bridges, it is a quieter location, and the price is right. Another advantage of single family homes is that you are not limited to a single car.

There is a local property manager nearby that will take care of your needs and of course, you can always contact us with problems, questions, suggestions or feedback.

BTW, the reviews and photos you see are real. Most of our winter renters are returnees, some for 9 years or more. Four of the past renters have purchased their own homes in the same neighborhood.

Wonderful. Big fenced in yard for pups & near beach

Stayed here while my home was being renovated. Everything you could imagine in the House and especially the kitchen. So close to the beach and all of Sarasota. Hop skip and a jump to everything! One of the kindest landlords I have ever met and I travel all over with VRBO!

Great Place!

Loved my stay at Beechwood! The home was lovely and the backyard huge. My pup had never seen so many dog savey squirrels 😂. Any issues that I had were quickly resolved by Jacklyn, who was a pleasure to work with. The location is amazing and I would definitely recommend.

A Slice of Summer in January

All you need to bring to this house are your clothes and toothbrush. The house is stocked with everything you would need for a perfect vacation. There are great restaurants within walking distance from this house. Siesta Key Beach is less than a 10 minute drive from the front door, all beach items you could possibly need are all at the house, all you need to do is load the chairs, buckets and shovels into your car and then off you go. The location of the house is close to shopping, wonderful restaurants and entertainment. We fell in love with the house on our first day and are already planning in returning next January.

Fabulous Sarasota rental

We rented this home for the month of March, 2019. It is by far the best home we have ever rented in the Sarasota/Siesta Key area. It is located in a quiet neighborhood close to the beaches of Siesta Key . The home itself is beautiful and very well kept. We thoroughly enjoyed the spacious screened porchwhich provided views of the huge backyard. The kitchen was well stocked with anything you would need to prepare a meal. The beds were comfortable and there were ample towels and extra bedding available. This house is a gem and the pictures and the description are totally accurate. We had a wonderful time and hope to return.

About the host

Hosted by Bill Archibald

I am a Sarasota (Siesta Key) native. My grandfather created Palm Island on Siesta Key, and in about 1947, I helped my father build the original Beach Club (in the village on Siesta Key).

Although we live in the San Francisco area now, my family and I return as often as we are able, often for a month or more, with or without the two mini Doxies. To us this is the most relaxing place on earth. Because we fly from CA, the place has to be complete. We often host the whole family (7-10) for Thanksgiving dinner.

Why they chose this property

We designed the house and had it built in 2005, but this property has been in the family since 1959 when my parents retired. The location is ideal because it is just OFF the Key to avoid heavy summer/winter traffic, but within easy walking distance of Siesta Key beaches, boat and bike rentals, and several very good restaurants, especially for breakfast.

If you don't know about Siesta Key you should Google it, because it is stupendous and way too much to describe here. However, I'll add that building sand 'drip castles' on this beach is something every one from 2 to 92 should do at least once in this life.

What makes this property unique

We rebuilt the house in 2004/5 to be our ideal Florida beach house. We live in California, and we made sure the house is fully outfitted so there is no need for us to bring anything with us on the plane.

For us this is a place to go to 'decompress' and relax. We think the beaches are the best in the world, and that big back yard is so quiet and relaxing. There is always some part of the yard in shade and some in sun, so we each have our favorite spots. When we finally get a good dose of relaxing on the beach, on the lanai, in the yard, or on a boat, there are so many things to do nearby the biggest problem is which?

The wireless high speed Internet even works in the back yard if you are an email junkie like me, or should actually have to do some work.

If they wish, we stay in touch with our guests, by email/phone, during their stay to answer questions, recommend restaurants and things to do. The local manager has also lived there for a very long time, so there is no shortage of 'tourist' info. There is a 3-ring notebook that is actively maintained both by us and renters with places to go, menus from favorite restaurants, and house info.

We also own/rent the house next door (VRBO 483975) and there is a secret removable section of fence between them.
