Almost perfect.

Absolutely the perfect location on the beach, giving you spectacular views and sunsets! This condo is very well appointed with top of the line appliances throughout, comfortable beds and plenty of linens. The only thing it needs is a new couch with recliners.

The kitchen was the best equipped we have had in the 10 years we have been coming to Siesta Key. The washer and dryer were also excellent. The thermostat was wired improperly, so the unit was 58 degrees when we checked in so the 1st night was very cold. On Sunday, we were provided with space heaters & 1st thing Monday, the heat was fixed. The only real negative is the tv system, different in different rooms and difficult to figure out. But the view, the layout, furnishings, etc. are very good. We are returning next year and probably into the future. ITrip management was very responsive.

We had a wonderful stay. The condo was exactly what was stated on the listing. The management took very good care of us and went above and beyond to bring an additional fan to the condo. We were beyond grateful for there hospitality. The grounds were beautiful and we were grateful for the beach chairs that were provided by the condo community. The condo had an umbrella, so it made the beach very comfortable. The beach and ocean were beyond words it was a wonderful place to stay. We left some kid toys/rafts behind in hopes that other families will get to enjoy them in the future. Thank you for a spectacular trip, as we will certainly be back to this beach again in the future.

Siesta stsy

Overall an excellent experience. Property had all of the modern amenities we could need plus more. The view was impeccable. Process and communications great. We only had a minor issue with needing to clean the floor better. The black tiles of plastic on the lanai are leaving residue on shoes and feet then get tracking indoors. But it was manageable and minor in comparison to the rest. Location and proximity to local life, shopping and the best Ice cream south of Anna Maria Island!

Paradise!

Walking into this beautifully appointed condo, we were greeted with a gorgeous panoramic view of the Gulf of Mexico; the same view could be seen from each of the bedrooms. Watching the sun go down while sitting on the screened-in porch was truly spectacular. The kitchen was well stocked from dish towels to utensils to wine openers to glassware, and everything appeared to be new. We had plenty of beach towels, which were of good quality. Beach chairs and lounges were readily available, and the beach was never crowded One of the pools overlooks the beach, although it should be noted that the water temperature was more like that of a sauna. Any issues that arose, which were few, were immediately addressed. We did not have a car and had no trouble getting an Uber. The binder left was a great help and was all encompassing from finding dog parks, to restaurants, to medical facilities. Towards our last day there was a notice about wearing wristbands. It wasn’t clear what these wristbands are made of or whether they had to be changed daily. We certainly hope to return to this piece of Paradise!

30 Day Stay

This property would have received a five star plus rating if properly managed. Upon arrival, the code provided did not work, and I had to wait outside the unit with all my luggage 45 minutes for management to get me inside the unit. Two hours later, I was locked out again upon returning back to the unit. Again I waited outside with a cart full of groceries another 45 minutes until management came to let me in. The batteries needed changed on the lock, and after that, I had no issues with that the entire stay. Additionally, upon entering the unit, the first time, it was obvious the unit was never cleaned. Since I did not want to wait until the next day to have it cleaned and did not want to spend the night in a dirty unit, I cleaned the entire place and washed all the linens that night. The management company did reimburse my cleaning charge, and were very responsive whenever I called. If someone would’ve walked the unit before releasing it to me, they would’ve noticed the condition of the lock and the uncleanliness, thereby eliminating both issues. Overall, the unit itself is beautifully remodeled and has everything one would need during their stay. The beach is fantastic and so easy to access, and there are many things within walking distance, by tram, or car.
