About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
**Beach, Village, Canal, Dock & Private Heated Pool!!
HERE IT IS! This “one of a kind” property is uniquely situated between the beach, canal, village with a private heated pool, one of the best spots on Siesta Key! This charming 1,500 sq. ft. cottage beach home is being offered for the first time.
If you want a cute, private original bungalow style beach cottage home all to yourself without the shared wall feel of a condo, then you are in the right spot.
Welcome.... From the minute you arrive at the "RCC" (Rad's Cozy Cottage on Canal) in Siesta Village you will soon know you have arrived in a special place. You will be able to completely relax and count this as one of your best vacations or getaways ever!
From the quaint enclosed front porch, you will begin to relax and enjoy your view of the famous Siesta Key canal on the outer rim of "Palm Island," watch the Siesta Village Trolley and people pass by just relaxing.
This is a true Gem in Siesta Key that has new electric and we have painstakingly cleaned, freshly painted, updated kitchen cabinets and new granite counter tops, but still maintains the original Florida bungalow style charm and footprint. This is a 4th generation home of the late Archibald family, who were partially responsible for planned Siesta community and is uniquely built with so much character. This house has the original hard wood floors, with vaulted ceilings in the living room and large bedrooms.
Our cottage home is freshly painted, has 2 bedrooms and 1 full bath, 1 half bath (plus an additional outside shower which most guests uses as primary shower) This home has all the original Pecky Cypress Cedar walls/ceilings & hardwood floors throughout the very comfortable fully furnished home.
This cottage can handle a 6 person family very comfortably. It has (1) king bed, (2) twin beds and a pull-out sofa bed. It is listed for 6 guests. We charge a fee for every additional person per night with blow up mattress available. Infants 0 to 12 mts. are excluded.
The back yard is very private with heated pool, mature trees and where you never know what exotic bird will show up to visit. Outdoor shower, and additional dining and grilling area make a great place to hang anytime of day.
My favorite, you are perfectly situated footsteps (318 of mine) away from world famous Siesta Key Beach (Access 7,) Siesta Village amenities of shops, restaurants and bars that have live music and no need for a car, but plenty of parking in the horseshoe style driveway.
Fun in the sun: Whether it's fun on the #1 beach in the USA, relaxation or a little of both, it is all just steps away from our cottage. Want to rent Kayaks or paddle boards for a few days? Arrange for delivery to the house and drop from our private dock in the Canal across the street. Don't forget great shopping and restaurants in the North Village, jump on the Trolley to the South End, or explore downtown Sarasota and St. Armands Circle via the SCAT Bus just a few blocks away. Don't want to leave, no need. Siesta Market, drug store, wine shop just around the corner. Yep, it's all so close and It's is an island paradise with all the comforts of home.
Special Amenities: We want you to have all the amenities of home yet experience the joys and relaxation of a truly island vacation, so we have included WiFi, cable and Smart TV's to utilize your movies apps should you be inclined.
Linens, bath & beach towels are all provided. No need to strip beds, wash linens or clean before leaving. Just check out and you are done! However, washer/dryer are available to use during your stay.
For the beach: we have a cooler, beach toys, wagon and beach chairs.
**We are continually adding additional items that can be rented during your stay. Ask for details or special requests.**
Accommodations: 2 bedrooms all are delightfully charming with original character and sleeping accommodations as follows:
Bedroom 1 has a king size bed, TV.
Bedroom 2 has two (2) twin size beds (can be put together for a couple as a second king,) and TV.
Family room, dining area, full kitchen with stainless steel appliances, granite counter tops, full stove, microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher along with all essentials to make a nice meal or fun drink.

Spring Break getaway
We have been to Siesta Key multiple times and this was the best. Great location to walk to the beach or the village. Plenty of space on the inside and the pool is a must after hot days at the beach. Great communication. Would definitely book again if we come back.

Piece of Paradise
This home is exactly as described, but even more wonderful in person! It was a perfect layout for our family (2 kids under 6), comfortable beds which can be hard to find, and the location can't be beat. We were able to walk to downtown Siesta Key in less than 2mins and to the beach in less than 5mins (kid speed even). The backyard pool was ideal for the kids and hot days taking a break from the ocean. Neighbors were respectful and we had no issues with noise during our visit, and were even able to get Walmart delivery for the weekly groceries. Communication with Marko before, during and after our trip was seamless and he provided a lot of recommendations specific to our needs, especially with My Captain Casey who took us out for a day on a pontoon boat to see dolphins and find seashells. This place is a little piece of paradise (that I almost hate to share with others). We highly recommend this home and Marko for your Siesta Key vacation!!

Everything needed for a lovely getaway!
Rad’s Cozy Cottage was beyond our expectations! Upon entry we were incredibly and pleasantly surprised! The cottage was renovated very tastefully and is beautiful! The cottage had all amenities and supplies necessary to enjoy a lovely stay. And the private pool was such a bonus! We had a glitch with VRBO as far as not getting check-in email but the managers/owners were amazing at being available to help us get us situated. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment from the accommodations and amenities to the pool to the perfect location and lists of things to do and see! Definitely would stay again and recommend to family and friends.
Thank you Marlo and Kellie for offering this cozy and quaint house for others to share.

Will be back!
This is our fourth trip to Siesta Key from Iowa and I must say this was by far my family's favorite stay! The private heated pool, the location, the attentiveness of the owners and managers made this a trip to remember. Was having trouble with my phone so did not receive the check in information on my phone but with a quick text the information was at our fingertips. Their attention to detail, from the care package, to the soap, and pay it forward approach to the kitchen was refreshing after coming in from a later flight into Tampa. We will definitely be staying here again!

Always a Great Experience at RCC
This was our third time staying at RCC and it just gets better every year! We have two children, ages 1.5 and 7, and the house had everything we needed - a pack and play, beach toys, pool toys, etc. We had to skip last year’s trip due to the pandemic so this was our first visit since Marko put in the putting green and half bath and both were welcome additions. We love the location of the house, we never rent a car and can walk anywhere we need to go - beach and restaurants. We’ve stayed in many Vrbo’s in many different places and RCC is by far the the cleanest and most comfortable rental we’ve stayed in. Marko’s customer service is top notch and we can’t wait to return for our fourth stay!

Location -- and much more
Yes, an ideal location for our first visit to Siesta Key, we walked to the beach and to the market and restaurants at least once each day, 7 minutes tops (for even we two 70 year olds!). But Rad's Cozy Cottage experience was much more than that. We were able to prepare breakfast and dinner with a kitchen fully stocked with quality pans, sharp knives, utensils, and that hard-to find vacation rental amenity: LOTS of silverware, plates, and glasses. The pay-it-forward concept was ideal for us. We checked in before the major big shop to Publix and found a sweet welcome basket, and things we normally would have to buy for a 10-day stay: olive oil, sugar, condiments in the fridge, herbs and spices, coffee filters, jams, etc. etc. Then made a short 5 minute walk to Morton's Market in North Village to get us through breakfast the next day so we could catch the sunset! Every day we used the bikes for a ride through the quiet residential area across the street, the super clean heated pool, and the new putting green (which JB says was well crafted with some challenging breaks). Birders: There are at least 4 Florida Birding Trail sites within 30 min. drive and the walkable Siesta Key Beach is one of them. Snowy Plovers nesting around Beach Access 9! We only ate out for dinner twice, but lunch every day and recommendations from Marko and Kelly were 100% spot on. The "cottage" itself is perfect -- comfy beds, upscale appliances, beautifully decorated, lots of open light from windows everywhere, it was a joy to spend time inside as well as out. Spotless, thank you housekeeping! It's as if Marko and Kelly have stayed in vacation rentals themselves, found things lacking, and made sure they were available for their guests at RCC. They checked in via txt a couple of times to be sure all was well and answered several questions before we arrived. Best Florida vacation ever, and we've been going to various areas for over 5 years.
We sure hope to get back to Siesta Key and that RCC will be available for us when we do!

Everything about this property exceeded our expectations! Newly renovated, clean, comfortable and a great backyard with putting area, pool and outside lighting.
Can’t say enough good things about the property manager Marko! Easy to work with, available, helpful! A beautiful basket and a greeting card awaited us upon arrival.
The location is one of the highlights! 2 blocks to the beautiful beaches, 2 blocks to a great town with live music, shops and great restaurants. Also has a private dock as we were across the street from the canal. Fun watching the fish jump! We loved this place and will return! Another highlight was a 4 hour deck boat tour with Capt Casey. Don’t miss this. Call him at 941-928-0434. He will even pick you up at your dock.

Wonderful home
My family and I stayed for 4 nights in this wonderful, centrally located home. The home was spotless (complements to the cleaning staff) beautifully decorated and bright. The welcome package was a nice touch and included a bottle of wine and multiple snacks. The kitchen had everything we needed including a blender and coffee maker. The pool was a hit with the kids as well as the adults and we were able to use all the pool toys that were available. Although we did not go to the beach much due to the weather, it was just a 5 minute walk. Siesta Key Village was also 5 minutes away and there is a market a couple blocks away from the home. Marko was very attentive getting in touch with us a couple of times during our stay to make sure we were doing ok. Soon after we left, Marko informed me we had left a bag behind. He was able to send it back to me and was received 2 days later (Marko thanks again). I would definitely stay again in this home.

Beautiful House in the Perfect Location
We loved our stay at RCC! The house was beautiful and had just the right amount of space for our family of three. Everything we needed was provided - beach toys, chairs, umbrella, cooler, wagon, floats for the pool, beach towels, etc. We didn’t have a car and it definitely wasn’t needed since the house is so conveniently located. We walked to the beach and Siesta Key Village with no problem. Marko was very responsive in advance of our trip and during our stay and provided a ton of helpful tips/recommendations for the island. We’ve stayed in several beach rentals and RCC was by far the nicest. This was our first time in Siesta Key but we plan to make it an annual trip and we can’t wait to stay at RCC again!

Best kept secret in Siesta!
From the time we booked til the day we said goodbye to this cozy cottage we were amazed. Mark was so accommodating as we prepared for our trip and once we settled in we knew we were in for a treat. Everything he promised was there...beach chairs, beach towels, a beach wagon and bikes...they even had a sweet little welcoming gift! The house itself was impeccable. It was clean, the linens and towels were high quality and the kitchen was stocked with everything you would need. They have a great "pay it forward" policy, so you aren't desperate for the little things...coffee filters, salt, pepper, and condiments. The bedrooms were nice and spacious and the bathroom was newly remodeled. The backyard has a wonderful pool, grill and a fun place to hang, just the thing after a day at the beach. Across the street is a private dock and it was fun to sit with our coffee in the morning and fish a bit. It is close to the Village, which has access to delicious restaurants and a nice market and yes, a liquor store!
