The condo had everything we neededâŠbeach towels, chairs, umbrella, ice chest and plenty of kitchen utensils and pans if you want to cook. Owner was great with correspondence when we messaged him. The unit was nice, big and right on the waterway which I liked.
We enjoyed our stay in this comfortable, well-appointed unit. We especially loved our view from the lanai and balcony! The owner was great with communication and easy to work with.
The biggest problem was in the description was it claimed to be "3 minutes from the beach". My fault for assuming that it is 3 minute DRIVE! We spoke with many people on the property and they all thought it was walking not driving. Driving and PARKING in Siesta Key is not pleasant so trying to get to the beach just for a sunset is an ordeal. We really felt misled and disappointed regarding that detail. And the property needs to be freshened up and a deep cleaning. I left a note regarding all the cleaning that is needed so I don't need to list it here!
The Pool is OK but kind of poorly designed and is in the shade a lot. Just do your research and get a property on the ocean side of Siesta Key if you want to walk to the beach. Very crowded and not very relaxing unless you are in the condo:(
The hosts were very responsive and prompt and provided guests with comprehensive instructions and tips for the area. Our unit was as advertised, modern and clean. We enjoyed the pool area and waterfront, especially dolphin sightings and watching the variety of boats going by. The unit was well laid out for our family, with separate bathrooms for each bedroom.
Well Maintained Property Overlooking Inlet Across From The Beach
The property was very clean and well maintained. Lou, the property owner was very helpful to us when our trip was delayed by a day with a cancelled flight and in giving tips on getting over to the beach by the property. If you love to fish, you will enjoy the propertyâs private pier Inlet that the unit overlooks. There were always people on iit enjoying themselves. We were there at a very busy spring break time and avoided downtown Siesta Key like the plague after driving to in our first night. We went to Sarasota instead -only 15 minutes away and had a wonderful dinner./walked around. Siesta Key Beach is just superb but it is across the street from the unit with limited public access points that were crowded with people /cars and took longer than it would normally take to get to but keep in mind we were there during a peak week. We managed to cut through some of the private properties to the beach right by the property where there was still plenty of room
On the beach to not feel like a sardine. However, it was still not direct access and we are beach people but we certainly knew that before we booked. If one wasnât going at a prime time, i am sure that the Siesta Key public access sites would have been as easy as described and accessible. We did see the free trolley that went along the shore road. However, there are tons of beaches in the area and the unit and our trip was great overall.
Good location. Just be mindful that you will either need to catch a trolley or drive to the main beach as you cannot cut through the adjacent beachfront properties. We really enjoyed the screened lanai with views of the bay. Tons of boats and wildlife going by. Well-appointed property.
We enjoyed our stay. The property was very nice and beautifully decorated. I was a little sad it didnât seem overly walkable. I ran each morning and the sidewalks in Siesta Key were SUPER crowded; as were the roads. This isnât the houseâs fault though. The drive to Siesta Key beach should have been easy but their was so much traffic, even when we left at 9AM, it took several minutes to just turn RIGHT on to Midnight pass road. Still, once parked at the beach, we all said wow when we stepped on the super nice white sand. Overall, it was nice and we loved the tennis court.
The location of the condo was excellent The view from the living area and deck was spectacular watching every kind of boat from canoes to million dollar yachts. Sailing by.The pool and common area was great for cookouts The pier was great for fishing and hanging out. Siesta key beach is truly the best. Guest should check out the Sunday drum circle at sunset on the beach. Would highly recommend this location and condo to anyone
This was our first time staying on Siesta Key as a family. We really enjoyed our stay. Sitting on the lanai after a day at the beach was so relaxing (watching the boats go by on the InterCoastal). The unit was very clean and we felt safe during Covid. Plenty of room for our family of 4! We were a 10-15 minute walk from restaurants and the ice cream shop at Captain Kurts Village and just a short drive to the Village. Kids loved the pool and the beaches are amazing! Lou, the owner, was amazing and so easy to deal with. We would recommend this 2-story condo! Thanks Lou!
