The Raya House

Mid-century modern, 3 bedroom 2 bath pool home within minutes of Siesta Key Beach and Turtle Beach; (closest Siesta beach access is 2.4 miles away. Main Siesta Beach access is 4.2 miles away) easy access to downtown. This house was completely renovated in 2017, and the pool and patio area was resurfaced in 2020.

Walking distance to delicious frozen custard! Great for families.
Though there is no extra fee for heating the pool, we do ask that you request it in advance as it takes a couple of days for pool to reach warmer temperatures when the weather is cool.

Beautiful house.

We had an outstanding experience while staying at this beautiful property. Its location which is near the top rated beach in Florida, its amenities, and wonderful neighborhood, makes this property a most valuable experience that surely will be remembered and will be repeated. Lastly, very grateful with the managers for their excellent communication. Thanks!!!

Perfect Getaway

Wonderful house, pool, and location. We had an issue with the pool not heating and it was corrected within 24 hours. Communication with the hosts is easy and with quick response. This was my serving time staying at the Raya house. Will happily stay again next time I’m in Sarasota.

Best experience I've ever had with a rental.

We were here a few days before hurricane Wilton. Our hosts were amazing communicators. We ended up leaving early because or the hurricane, but I would definitely rent this house again in the future. They had everything we needed. The best touches were a welcome basket with coffee and snacks which I have never had at a rental. Thank you!

Raya House

We enjoyed a perfect stay at the Raya House. We celebrated my mom’s 104 th birthday. Everything worked out very well for us. The little girls loved the bunk beds and my teenage granddaughter loved having her own room. Many happy hours were spent in the pool. Morning coffee/tea was enjoyed poolside. The hammock chair was a big hit! We loved our stay.

Everything you could want...

The Raya House is just what we were looking for when vacationing in Siesta Key. It has everything you could need and the communication was top notch. We have been coming here for years now and this house was the best one we've stayed in. The pool is perfect and our daughter loved the little chalk board playhouse behind it. Its right near Siesta Key and not far from any restaurants/businesses. We will be trying to come here year after year!

Beyond our expectations

We had a wonderful stay at this property. It surpassed our expectations and we enjoyed it so much that we spent more time at the house than away from it. With a 2 year old the pool was a huge hit. The extra child amenities also made this stay super easy away from home. I’d highly recommend this place to any and all looking for a home away from home!

Most comfortable VRBO stay yet!

We were so happy with the entire stay. The location was amazing, the pool is beautiful, the kids enjoyed many mornings on the hammock. Kitchen was well stocked and everything was super clean. Reclining chairs in the living room were super relaxing after long hot days of mini golf, on the beach, or out back at the pool. 10/10, will book for future trips!

Great house for young family

We enjoyed our 9 day stay at the Raya house. The owners were quick to respond to any questions and requests we had and the house was very well stocked for our stay! We loved having all the beach toys/chairs and toys/sports equipment. The only area of improvement for us would be more grass in the yard, as our boys wanted to spend lots of time playing there but it was more sandy than grassy. Loved the pool and it was well heated with lots of pool toys!

First time in FL!

Great trip and awesome home! Fully stocked, we didn’t need to bring anything besides swimsuits and clothing! Outdoor shower was the best part! Us coming from the beach and washing off, helped keep all the sand out of the house! Very clean and had plenty of essentials! Check out Detwillers while there! Looks like the home was recently remodeled and done beautifully! Pool was perfect! We had toddlers with us and the owners put up a fence and gated the pool! Such peace of mind with toddlers running around was so nice! Communication with owners was top notch. Thank you guys we will come again soon!

Clean and cozy!

We loved our stay at The Raya House! It was super clean and the house was so comfortable for our group of 6. The pool was a great size for young kids, and there was plenty of space outside to enjoy the beautiful weather. Only a few suggestions - would have liked to have another TV in the house (only 1 in the living room), the beds in the main rooms were quite small (full/queens), and the coffee maker could use some instructions!
