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!!!

Honeymoon paradise

Jim was a fantastic host for me and my new wife. The property was as advertised and a perfect location for privacy and accessibility to the neighborhood. We will hopefully be going back at some point in the near future for a return trip , 10/10!

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

True Siesta Key Charm

Our stay at Sophie’s Cottage was perfect. The home is spacious and well equipped. The outdoor living area provided extra space to enjoy and entertain. The heated pool, patio and kayaks were put to great use! The house is on a quiet street with close access to the beach and village. Jim was extremely kind and responsive. We will definitely stay at Sophie’s Cottage again!

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!

Cozy canal location-short bike ride to so much Siesta Key has to offer!

This canal side cottage was a perfect retreat for busy people like us! Two weeks in June - perfect! It's super close to the Siesta Key Village, in fact we enjoyed riding up on the bikes they provided, hopping in for a few groceries and riding back, or riding up for dinner and music! We also rode up for the sunset ceremony at the pier. It is close, but not too close! The street was quiet, and we slept well! Nice beds/bedding, plenty of towels and such. The great surprise is that the road from the cottage to the beach lines up to a perfect beach access spot (Beach Access 11) which is nestled between two busier beach access areas, providing an oasis with much fewer tents and people and a lovely wide open view of amazing sand and gorgeous water. We appreciated the chairs and wagon for toting beach gear since we flew down! We greatly enjoyed using the kayaks provided throughout the canal and spotted manatee and interesting fish and birds while seeing the beautiful homes on the canal from the water. The cottage looks just like the pictures, the pool is so nice apres beach! Also, at night it was a delight to float under the stars. The kitchen is bright and overlooks the pool and has plenty for the chef to work with, we loved picking up fresh fish and searing up delicious meals to eat by the pool. The owner and team were very responsive and provided excellent communication. We felt nestled, supported, and had a wonderful time! We highly recommend this Siesta Key cottage!

adorable cottage/house

We had a wonderful vacation at Sophie's Cottage. everything was just like pictured and then some. We loved the pool. It was the perfect size for us!!! slight issue at first with the heater but once I notified them, maintenance came out the same day and got it right!! now that's service!! our favorite part was sitting on the dock around 6:00 when it cooled down and there was a wonderful breeze coming up the cannel every day. Maybe it's a September thing? Beach was within walking distance and village is more biking distance. We would stay here again for sure!!!! Oh and maybe you will get to meet the next door neighbor Barbara. She is 80 years old but what an inspiration and truly a lovely woman with lots of good stories!

Perfect stay on the canal in Siesta Key

We had a wonderful week at Sophie's Cottage. It is a very comfortable, cozy and clean 2BR 2BA cottage that is a short walk or bike ride to the beach (3-4 bikes included with rental!). And upon your return you can lounge in the private backyard or enjoy swimming in the beautiful pool or kayaking / paddleboarding in the canal off your own dock (kayaks and boards included!). A special shout-out to the friendly folks at Cottage on the Key, who made our entire rental experience so pleasant and effortless, and provided us with a special welcome gift (gourmet cupcakes!). We definitely plan to return to Sophie's Cottage as soon as possible!

Wonderful little cottage

We had a great time in Sieata Key. Having a pool and place right on the canal was great. It's close to the beach and close to the village. We walked or road bike every day. Bikes were provided. Very cute decor and comfy beds. Would highly recommend!

Tropical home right at the channel

WOW! We had a great time at Sophie's and on that tropical island Siesta Key. The house is close to the village and it's nice to walk or ride the bike which are provided at the house. We also had beach chairs, umbrellas and all different kind of stuff for the beach available even beach towels. We used the kayaks and were also lucky to see manatees eating right at our dock. So amazing. The house is very well equipped anyway and the beds are really comfortable. Only the AC is quiet loud, but all good and you get used to it ;-). The rest is just brillant and especially the service provided by "Cottages on the key" is excellent. They take care so much - before , while and after the stay! Compliment! Go ahead and book. It's worth it.
