If you’re thinking about booking this property this is your sign to go for it! The most well equipped rental we’ve ever stayed in. Quiet neighborhood, wonderful pool area, spacious and around 10-15 min to the beautiful beaches. We truly enjoyed our stay in The Raya House! :)
This property was so nice!! The decor, furniture, complete design of the house was so inviting. The pool was great as well! Large patio w brick pavers, spotless pool, lanai and fenced yard. Very peaceful little getaway!

Best experience I've ever had with a rental.
We were here a few days before hurricane Wilton. Our hosts were amazing communicators. We ended up leaving early because or the hurricane, but I would definitely rent this house again in the future. They had everything we needed. The best touches were a welcome basket with coffee and snacks which I have never had at a rental. Thank you!

Raya House
We enjoyed a perfect stay at the Raya House. We celebrated my mom’s 104 th birthday.
Everything worked out very well for us. The little girls loved the bunk beds and my teenage granddaughter loved having her own room.
Many happy hours were spent in the pool. Morning coffee/tea was enjoyed poolside.
The hammock chair was a big hit!
We loved our stay.

Everything you could want...
The Raya House is just what we were looking for when vacationing in Siesta Key. It has everything you could need and the communication was top notch. We have been coming here for years now and this house was the best one we've stayed in. The pool is perfect and our daughter loved the little chalk board playhouse behind it. Its right near Siesta Key and not far from any restaurants/businesses. We will be trying to come here year after year!

We had a wonderful stay at this property. It surpassed our expectations and we enjoyed it so much that we spent more time at the house than away from it. With a 2 year old the pool was a huge hit.

Great house for young family
We enjoyed our 9 day stay at the Raya house. The owners were quick to respond to any questions and requests we had and the house was very well stocked for our stay! We loved having all the beach toys/chairs and toys/sports equipment. The only area of improvement for us would be more grass in the yard, as our boys wanted to spend lots of time playing there but it was more sandy than grassy. Loved the pool and it was well heated with lots of pool toys!
