Frequently Asked Questions

No pets of any kind are allowed.
  • These house rules are a summary. Every guest signs the Sarasota Vacation Rentals, LLC Rental Agreement before arrival. If anything here differs from your signed Rental Agreement or the property-specific terms in the listing, the Rental Agreement and listing control.
  • The primary guest must be 25 or older and must stay at the property for the entire reservation. The card holder must be the guest. Credit card verification is required for last-minute bookings.
  • Bookings for business use or contractor housing need our written approval in advance.
  • Maximum occupancy is the number shown in the listing and applies at all times. Exceeding it is a breach of the Rental Agreement and grounds for removal.
  • We are licensed under the Florida Division of Hotels and Restaurants. A serious breach of these rules or the Rental Agreement may result in removal from the property under Florida law.
  • Quiet hours are 10 PM to 8 AM. Communities and HOAs have their own rules, and their management can enforce them.
  • Parking is limited to what the listing states. Many communities do not allow boats, trailers, motorcycles, golf carts, or oversized vehicles, including some pickup trucks. Ask us before booking.
  • Some properties require HOA approval, and the listing will say so. Your reservation is not final until the HOA approves your application, and we cannot give access before then. Allow enough time before check-in for the HOA's review.
  • No smoking or vaping of any kind in the property or on balconies, patios, or lanais. The remediation fee is $500 or the actual cost, whichever is greater.
  • Pets are allowed only at dog-friendly properties, with our approval in advance and a pet fee. Limits on number, size, and breed are in the listing and Rental Agreement. Dogs are not allowed in pools. Service animals as defined by law are welcome at every property. Please let us know in advance so we can prepare.
  • Set the air conditioning no lower than 73 degrees unless your Rental Agreement states a different setting.
  • Please do not make repairs or changes to the property. Contact us and we will handle it.
  • Pool heat at private pool homes is optional and charged separately unless the listing says it is included. Spa heat is included where the home has a private spa.
  • Things sometimes break, and we will fix or replace them as quickly as we can. Refunds for maintenance issues, outages, amenity closures, and building or community construction are covered in the Rental Agreement.
  • There is no refund for early departure except as stated in the Rental Agreement, including mandatory hurricane evacuations. We recommend travel insurance.
  • Early check-in may be available for a fee, depending on the property and the schedule. Ask us before your stay.
  • At departure, please wash your dishes or start the dishwasher and remove your food and trash. Our cleaners handle beds and laundry.

Everything We Needed
5/5 stars
We had a wonderful time in this condo. It had everything we needed for a 9 nights stay. The closeness of the public beach was a plus. We will most certainly book this condo again!

Beautiful View
5/5 stars
Nice house with beautiful view and a clear pool nearby. All amenities were as indicated on the website. Our family liked it so much.

Awesome memories made in Siesta Key
5/5 stars
Just returned from a week in Siesta Key and we will be back. This condo and complex was perfect for us. I traveled with my college aged kids and they loved it! Check in was super simple and condo was ready as promised. Best of both worlds as we were a short walk to private beach and had access to beautiful spot on the bay. My 23 yo son loves to fish and was thrilled to see 2 rods in the garage. He caught a variety of saltwater fish which was exciting as we are from WI. Pools were nice and not crowded…especially the small one which we used as it was close. Bathroom at pool was really nice and clean. Could go on and on…can’t wait to go back.

Five ⭐️
5/5 stars
Perfect location, right in the middle of the Village and Stickney Point! Loved that our unit was right next to the smaller (less crowded) pool! Accommodations were excellent, everything we needed and more. So quiet, even though you’re right next to the main road — very convenient. We loved our two week stay and would come back for sure!! Thank you!!

Everything We Needed to Make Our Stay Wonderful
5/5 stars
We had a great time! We came to visit our son who lives here & wanted to be near the beach. We spent lots of time on the beach enjoying time with family. The condo had everything we needed to make our stay wonderful.

5/5 stars
Some reviews stated this was the first unit inside gate as if it was an issue, but that is what we liked about it. First toward beach and easy to find for guest. Road noise was not a concern.

Pristinely Clean and Well Appointed
5/5 stars
The condo was pristinely clean and well appointed. It was a lovely location, convenient to a crosswalk & trolley stop, and very quiet. We often had the small pool to ourselves. The owners thought of everything!

Perfect Holiday Home
5/5 stars
We were lucky enough to secure this beautiful house for our holiday and were completely blown away by the quality of the accommodation. All ages and needs are catered for in this very comfortable holiday home which offers privacy and easy access. The location is perfect, being a few steps from one of the two private pools, and a short walk to the award winning main beach. The free Taxis's allow easy access to the bars and restaurants and other beaches that are a little further away. I enjoyed watching the wildlife on the Intra Coastal Waterway, a short walk through the development, and was delighted to see dolphins feeding and playing. The perfect end to a perfect holiday. I highly recommend this property.
