Great stay in Siesta Beach. Enjoyed hanging out in the TV room with other families. Bedrooms were very nice and roomy. Very close to Siesta Beach restaurants which was nice. Property Manager was very responsive. Definitely a great place to stay.

Comfortable and Spacious Vacation Home
We had a wonderful time in this very spacious home. It was very accommodating! We had a total of 8 people in our party (2 families). The beds were very comfortable and the house was super clean! Everything was provided including bedding, towels, etc. There was even plenty of beach chairs and 2 umbrellas which came very much in handy as we went to the beach every day. The family room had plenty of seating for all of us and the 65" TV was great for evening movies (we brought our own Apple TV which we hooked up to the TV so that we could us our own Netflix, etc. streaming services). There was also a deck both on the front and rear of the house which was very popular for our group. The front deck is shaded in the afternoon and therefore became the more popular hang out when waiting to dry off from the beach, etc. We also never ran out of hot water when all of us had to take showers which was amazing to me when factoring in 8 people! The kitchen, dining room and bar seating was also great for mornings while all of us were eating breakfast, drinking our coffee, etc. Please keep in mind that walking to the beach isn't very practical since it is about mile. You can rent a golf cart from one of the local rental places but they were way out of our price range. We chose the very short 3 minute drive to Siesta Key public beach (free parking) which worked out great! Just keep in mind that if you aren't familiar with Siesta Key public beach, it is still a fairly long walk from the parking
