An Absolutely WONDERFUL Time and Home!
Our stay at Mark's beautiful home was absolutely wonderful and memorable. We have a large family and the spacious home, coupled with the beautiful pool and close access to the world's most beautiful beach, made our stay one of the best in our lives! Mark was very accommodating to arrival and departure times and we fully appreciate his flexibility. We hope to one day return to this beautiful part of the world and when we do, we will seek out this beautiful home!

Amazing house!
Stayed here for 15 days in April 2017 a big family of 10 from Iceland. First of all, Mark was a great host, always available for any requests and wanted to make sure we had everything we needed. The house is great! It is quite spacious and definitely had enough room for the 10 of us, there of were 6 adults. The house is well organised, the living room, kitchen and dining room are great for everyone to spend time together, however, there is also enough space for privacy if needed. The house is very clean and well decorated. The pool area is also great, we spent time in the pool every single day! The house is well located, only a few minutes by car to the public beach (where there is free parking if you arrive quite early at least) and to the Siesta Village where there are restaurants and some shops. We took a walk to the beach the first day and it took us about 30 minutes (with a 5 year old walking and a 1 year old in a carriage). We biked to the beach also a few times, takes about 10-15 minutes. The bikes in the garage are a great addition to the house. Overall, we are extremely pleased with everything and would definitely choose this house again when we return to Siesta Key!
