Looking for your Lost Shaker of Salt? Well, you’ve found it in this luxury rental home on Siesta Key that pays homage to the late, great Jimmy Buffet and the theme behind his music - paradise, good vibes, and of course great cocktails with better friends! And what better house than one in the South Siesta Village entertainment district? You’re next to all the restaurants, entertainment, shopping, markets, marina, and so much more! This super fun entertainment district is a guest favorite! But, even with this proximity, we’ve designed this luxury rental home so that you still have your own privacy. It’s the perfect mix of fun when you want it, and quiet when you need it. You’re also within 1 block from the world-famous Siesta Key Beach (Beach Access 12), so walkability here is maxed at 100%! If you want to explore further, without the hassle of driving, you’ll find multiple stops nearby for the free trolley that provides transportation service to the entirety of Siesta Key. You’re also just a quick drive or Uber/Lyft to the mainland Sarasota area (5 minutes) and downtown Sarasota (20-25 min) for access to the Sarasota’s Performing Arts scene, and numerous fantastic restaurants, shops, marinas, bars and entertainment, grocers, and more. And, day trips to Lido Key, Anna Maria Island, Venice Beach (shark tooth hunting), Myakka State Park and so much more are all less than an hour away, as well as the amazing theme parks of Tampa and Orlando that are all just 1-2 hours away!
This home is a dream, with outdoor covered patios, balconies, pool area, private sand volleyball court, and entertainment spaces, you’ll have it all! Ya, you read that right, there is a sand volleyball court! You can search, but you won’t find another home like this anywhere in Southwest Florida. It’s truly unique! Woven around the volleyball court you’ll find a beautiful lagoon style pool and spa, with a waterslide, beach entry, and large sun shelves with bubblers and lights! The covered patio is a real outdoor living space with a real tiki bar, 2-large smart TV’s, outdoor grill (natural gas), and multiple dining and lounging options. These spaces are all within the fenced in backyard that borders Sabal Lake and provides privacy and security making it family friendly and perfect for the home’s pet friendly policy (fees and restrictions apply). Sabal Lake is fed directly from Sarasota Bay and provides a peaceful wildlife estuary full of mangroves, birds, and fish for you to enjoy.
When you enter this home with 4,100 square feet interior living space, you’ll notice the elevator with service to all floors (except the rooftop), and the fact that this home was purposefully designed to provide the best vacation possible! It has 7 bedrooms (all with en suite baths) and 7 full baths and 2 half baths. There are a total of 6 king beds and 2 sets of king over king bunk beds that comfortably sleep 19 people in beds. The great room is set up as the perfect gathering space as it includes the kitchen, living, and dining areas of the home.
