About this home
4946 COMMONWEALTH DRIVE
Available as a monthly rental in May, August, September, October, November and December 2026 only! Discover your perfect slice of "Island Time" at Just Breathe, a serene 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom home nestled directly on a peaceful Siesta Key canal. From the moment you arrive, you'll feel the world melt away as you step into this ultimate beach house getaway designed for relaxation and fun. Imagine sipping your morning coffee on the private dock, watching for playful manatees and jumping fish, or simply basking in the sunshine by your private pool. With ample outdoor space for lounging, dining, or even trying your hand at fishing, this backyard oasis is your personal paradise. Inside, the home offers a beautifully appointed, light-filled space. The primary bedroom boasts a comfortable King bed and an en-suite bathroom, while the second bedroom features a Queen bed, and the third provides flexible sleeping with two Twin/Single beds. The fully equipped kitchen is ready for family dinners, though with the vibrant Siesta Key Village near, you might prefer to explore the array of locally owned restaurants, cafes, and lively bars. The unbeatable location means you're not only steps from delicious dining and entertainment, but also just a short 3-minute drive (or a fun bike/golf cart ride, a local favorite!) to the world-famous Siesta Key Beach, consistently ranked among the best in the USA. Please note: If you are bringing a pet, there is a $250 pet fee (per pet). We encourage you to inquire about the specific pet policy applicable to your reservation for clarification, including how and when the pet fee will be collected.

Value check
Is the price right?
The internet’s favorite home-value number comes from a single automated model that has never seen the street, the finishes, or the view — which is why it routinely misses by tens of thousands of dollars. The edgeAI estimate combines multiple independent data sources with our team’s on-the-ground expertise in this exact market.
