Our stay in Siesta Key was amazing!! This property was the perfect home base for our month away. The walk to Siesta Key Beach was doable but if wanting to drive, there was plenty of parking at the beach. There were beach toys, towels and chairs to use. The house had everything needed, updated and beautifully decorated. The beds were comfortable with quality bedding. We loved being so close to Siesta Key Village for dinners and shopping, yet the neighborhood was quiet at night. The highlight was the back yard! The pool, chairs, kayaks, fishing off the dock and all of the little extras were remarkable!! We loved the bikes that were provided too! Jim was on top of everything and we appreciated his eagerness to respond and help with whatever came up. You can't go wrong booking this beautiful home, it was wonderful!

Staying here provided us with the best trip we have had in Siesta to date!!! Located within a minutes walk from beach 11 or downtown, this place can’t be beat! Added bonus were the provided bikes and the option to rent the 6 seater Cadillac Cart. Between our feet, the bike seats and the Caddy wheels, the kids and adults could roam freely to wherever our hearts desired. The house alone provides you with an entire day full of fun! We fished off the dock, enjoyed scenic canoe trips down the canal, grilled up many meals on the spacious patio, jumped in the refreshing heated pool like it was our job, and soaked it all in while star gazing in the hammock at night. Although I have never met Jim, he made sure to take care of us like family. We will be back!!!

Great spring break spot

We had two 4 person families share this place for spring break. The location was great and the frog hopper knew our address to get around. The beach is a 15 minute walk away and the village is about a 20 minute walk. The property manager communicated regularly and we had a great experience.

Great family fun trip!

We had an amazing time at Sophie’s Cottage. We lucked out and got a renovated home due to the Hurricanes. The proximity to the beach and town are great. Short bike ride to both. Jim, the owner, helped us immediately with any issues. Our kids caught snappers, catfish, jacks, sting rays and needle fish off of the dock of the home. Great time, great home, great location!!!

100% Recommend!

Hands down one of the cleanest rentals we stayed in! Sophie’s Cottage was the perfect size for our family of 4 adults and 2 kids (11 & 13). The canal kept my boys busy with fishing and kayaking, while we were able to enjoy the nice pool right there beside them. The bikes were great for a morning stroll or to ride up to the village. This was the first time my family flew to a beach vacation and we had everything we needed. Jim, the owner, is very accommodating and communication is top notch! Siesta Key Beach was beautiful, and plenty of beach space! Highly recommend Sophie’s Cottage!

We love this place!!

The house had just been completely renovated due to the recent hurricane damage. Jim did an excellent job with everything to make sure our stay was top-notch. All the furnishings and appliances were brand new. We took the bikes out every day to Siesta Key Beach, which was just down the street. Absolutely amazing, and it took under 5 minutes! The rental location is very close (less than 1 mile) to fun restaurants in Siesta Key Village, with lot's of great bars and shopping. This place has it all! Pool, privacy, and perfect location, right down the street from the best beach in the USA, with all the amenities that you need. We will definitely come back! - Wendy & Chris

What a very lovely place, great location, exceptional owner!

We spent February at Sophie's Cottage and found it incredible. Newly remodeled (after the hurricanes), the vintage Siesta Key cottage is just perfect for our needs and wants. New mattresses (upscale and very comfortable), new appliances, HVAC works great, with plentiful TV's and connections, what more could we ask for? Not very much, as the location against the canal, with a heated pool, and chairs, was the perfect place to find warmth from the cold winter weather elsewhere. The landscaping is quite nice, with irrigation, and the cottage is close enough to the Village (and beach) that walking is not a chore, but enjoyable and easy. The vintage cottage was built in the early days of Siesta Key, but not's not a negative, as the upgrading and remodeling make it truly modern. Interestingly, however, there is a piece of original "pink" Siesta Key sidewalk just at the property's edge. We have no relationship with the owner, so take this review as it is from a renter's perspective, that we had a great time and are going back. Can't beat Siesta Key, nor Sophie's Cottage, its location and amenities!

Paradise Found in Siesta Key – Perfect for Families and Friends!

Our stay at this charming Siesta Key cottage was absolutely unforgettable! My wife, my two sisters, and I found it to be the perfect getaway for both relaxation and adventure.From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the thoughtful touches throughout the property. Inside, the home was beautifully decorated, immaculately clean, and stocked with everything we needed—from a well-appointed kitchen to cozy gathering spaces. Outside, the setup was just as inviting, with plenty of seating and shady spots to enjoy morning coffee or evening chats.The private pool was a standout feature—crystal clear and perfect for a dip any time of day. Whether we were floating, swimming, or lounging poolside, it felt like our own little oasis.The beach go-kit was a game-changer! The included wagon, chairs, umbrella, and cooler made beach days a breeze. Siesta Key’s powdery white sand and turquoise waters were just a short walk or quick bike ride away, and we went every day.One of our favorite parts of the trip was exploring the serene waterway just steps from the back door. The kayaks provided allowed us to peacefully glide along the mangroves—and we were lucky enough to spot manatees up close! It was a magical experience none of us will forget.The bicycles were also a great perk, making it easy to explore the island, grab ice cream, or head to the village for dinner.This cottage truly had it all—comfort, style, convenience, and access to the very best of Siesta Key. We can’t wait
