The Space:
Looking for your Lost Shaker of Salt? Well, you've found it in this luxury rental home on Siesta Key that pays homage to the late, great Jimmy Buffet and the theme behind his music - paradise, good vibes, and of course great cocktails with better friends! This home is a dream, with outdoor covered patios, balconies, pool area, private sand volleyball court, and entertainment spaces, you'll have it all! Ya, you read that right, there is a sand volleyball court! You can search, but you won't find another home like this anywhere in Southwest Florida. It's truly unique! Woven around the volleyball court you'll find a beautiful lagoon style pool and spa, with a waterslide, beach entry, and large sun shelves with bubblers and lights! The covered patio is a real outdoor living space with a real tiki bar, 2-large smart TV's, outdoor grill (natural gas), and multiple dining and lounging options. These spaces are all within the fenced in backyard that borders Sabal Lake and provides privacy and security making it family friendly and perfect for the home's pet friendly policy (fees and restrictions apply). Sabal Lake is fed directly from Sarasota Bay and provides a peaceful wildlife estuary full of mangroves, birds, and fish for you to enjoy.
When you enter this home with 4,100 square feet interior living space, you'll notice the elevator with service to all floors (except the rooftop), and the fact that this home was purposefully designed to provide the best vacation possible! It has 7 bedrooms (all with en suite baths) and 7 full baths and 2 half baths. There are a total of 6 king beds and 2 sets of king over king bunk beds that comfortably sleep 19 people in beds. The great room is set up as the perfect gathering space as it includes the kitchen, living, and dining areas of the home. The kitchen is a fully stocked kitchen, and we mean that because we know how important it is to you, our valued guests! Not only is it stocked, but it's also stocked with the products and manufacturers you trust. Additionally, this home features a club room or secondary living space with smart TV, gaming consoles, wet bar with bar top seating, and access to a balcony and the rooftop deck. There are 2 balconies off the great room and club room spaces, the rear balconies overlook the pool and lake, and the front balconies overlook South Siesta Village.
