Bach Party Perfection!
We stayed at Tracey's house for my Bachelorette party in June of 2025 with a group of 9 women. The house was absolutely everything we wanted and more! The house was very clean, cutely decorated, comfy furniture and stocked with so many things that made our stay convenient and easy! We loved having the private pool, beach towels/chairs/umbrella, etc to use. Everyone mentioned how perfect the house was throughout the entire stay! We were able to check in early and Tracey was very easy to communicate with and was accommodating. I would HIGHLY recommend this house and we look forward to booking again for a future trip!! You will not be disappointed!

This is an awesome choice for a stay in Siesta Key! Our Host Tracey had everything perfect for our arrival and was extremely quick to respond when I had questions. Top notch! As far as the home, I knew it would be great for us after viewing the listing. To my surprise, it was even better than advertised. 10 minute walk to the beach. 15 minute walk to the restaurants, bars, and shopping in Siesta Key Village. After a few hours at the beach, coming back to the house to relax in the pool, then walking to the Village for supper and entertainment, we couldn’t have asked for more. Plenty of beach chairs, wagons, floaties for the little ones, Giana Jenga, cornhole, etc… we had a wonderful time!

Perfect stay!!
The house was perfect for our group of 9. Comfortable beds, clean home and all of the beach supplies you could need (chairs, coolers, wagons were much appreciated). The back pool area is huge!! The house is centrally located; a 20 minute walk or few minute drive to siesta village, and an easy straight shot to the beach. Key lime pie was a lovely added touch! Would definitely recommend to any groups looking for a nice clean house in the area.

Fantastic Family Beach House
Perfect house for our large family including married children and an infant grandchild. The screened in pool area is a vacation oasis - the pool is huge!!! The location of the house is exceptional - walkable to the beach and the siesta key village… but also easy to drive with tons of free parking everywhere.Tracy is an excellent host - left us a delicious key lime pie for our arrival and swiftly handled any requests throughout our stay including turning up the pool heater. The house is equipped with everything you need for the beach and pool with 10 new beach chairs and two spacious wagons. The kitchen is well equipped and beds are comfortable!

Great stay in Siesta Key!
We had a great stay at this lovely home. It had everything we needed including all the beach gear which was perfect. It was a little bit of a walk into town but we made the best of it and found a lot of free rides most nights. The start of the trip we had a lovely heated pool which was needed for the kids to have fun but on the third day the heater broke and we couldn’t use the pool again which was a big bummer. Tracy did everything she could to get it repaired for us but there must have been a bigger issue. Overall we had a great stay just wished we could have used the pool the whole trip.

Vacation Perfection!
Back from a week in Siesta Key and this house MADE our trip what it was: the perfect vacation! The photos, as nice as they are, don’t even do the place justice. House is spacious, super clean, and comfortable. The pool and deck are bigger than expected and the best post-beach hangout! We especially loved watching movies on the big screen while floating! We loved how well-stocked the kitchen is, which made cooking some meals a breeze. The direct access to the beach at the end of the road (less than 0.5 mile) led to a great, less-populated stretch of beach. LOOOVED all the beach accessories and wagons the house provides, too. Add a super friendly host, and we couldn’t be more pleased!

FANTASTIC “HOME AWAY FROM HOME”
My family and I just stayed at the Ocean Breeze Cottage. We had a wonderful visit. The host Tracey was amazing. She continued to check in on us almost daily to be sure we didn’t need anything. All check-in and check-out instructions were reasonable and easy to understand. The house is beautiful, and all amenities and furniture are in fantastic shape. The house is very spacious with large bedrooms. There are huge TV’s in every room including outside by the pool. The pool is a great extra, and we used it every day after getting home from the beach. The house is in a great location on the island being close to the beach as well as downtown. If you have small children or elderly in your party, it may be best to drive to the beach. There is an 800-space parking lot at the end of the road. We never had a problem finding parking there. The parking downtown is expensive, so we parked in the beach parking lot and rode the free Breeze shuttle both ways. ALL beach equipment is there including wagons, umbrellas, beach towels, chairs, and coolers. One thing to keep in mind is that you may want to stop in Sarasota before crossing the bridge into Siesta Key for all your groceries. We only saw a local market on the island. There are plenty of Publix grocery stores in Sarasota which we went back to. Overall, my family LOVED this property. I would highly recommend staying here!

Great pool and beach fun
What is special about this house was the outdoor space and the gigantic, warm pool. It’s really like 2 pools. There are 2 outdoor tables (one under cover) and an outdoor tv room. We had a small group but I imagine if you loaded all the bedrooms you’d appreciate the outdoor space to spread out. The other thing that set this house apart were the extras like pool / beach toys, baby items, a kids play room- lots of kid friendly extras. I have allergies and the house is pet friendly but I had no issues so it’s cleaned very well. It’s a 3 long block walk to the best (&great walking) beach but on the plus side it’s almost as close to the restaurants and we walked to the village almost every day.
