Perfect beach get away

The description of the property was perfect. Once you park, no need to use your car again. Plenty of beach gear to use, free trolly system, and it really was about 150 steps to the beach. We had a perfect time.

Family Vacation

We booked this location so that we would be close to the beach. 150 steps gets you to the edge leading to the beach. We had someone with us that had difficulty walking so it was not as close as we had hoped. The beach and location is beautiful though, so if you can walk the extra steps will worth the walk. The beach did have a beach wheelchair available so we utilized that. The condo had a lot of beach chairs and toys available.

Beautiful Beach

We stayed here Thanksgiving week with my two kids, their spouses and babies. We were aware there were three hurricanes before our arrival. So with that being said, we were still happy with the beach., restaurants, shops. We walked everywhere. It was unfortunate. We weren’t able to use the pool for it was just too cold for the babies and us, but we enjoyed the beach. They provided bikes for us and went out of their way to get them as well as Beach supplies, a wagon to pool, chairs, towels, etc. and made it so much more enjoyable.! They also supplied toys for the kids, but my daughters went ahead and ordered extra ones from a baby supply rental place in town including cribs and high chairs. Dan was very much present for our needs. Highly recommend.!

My family agrees this was the best vacation rentals we stayed in. We had everything we needed for our stay at the house. Everything we needed for the beach. Such a short walk to the beach.

Perfect beach getaway!

We had a great time in Siesta Key, and this unit was exactly as advertised, if not better! Very clean, had everything we needed, and Dan was always quick to respond to any of our inquiries leading up to the trip. We had 3 young kids with us so being one block from the beach was perfect. This unit had two beach wagons, boogie boards, toys for the kids, etc. We left behind a bunch of toys and a puddle jumper (swimmies) to add to the collection. The pool is small and shared among a few units, so don’t count on having it to yourself. It’s really all about the beach! I would suggest bringing shoes that are comfortable for walking to dinner. It’s a really nice 15ish minute walk, so don’t bother with heels! Very very low key vibe in town. We were there during spring break so it was crowded, but that’s to be expected. None of the places take reservations so if you go during a peak time, either plan to go to dinner right at 5, or be prepared to wait. All in all we had a great time and would definitely recommend staying in this unit if the size/configuration works for your group!

Awesome family vacation - will return !!

From the start, this place made our vacation. Checkin was seamless with no issues, place was spotless and as advertised. Everything was well organized at the house so we found everything easily without having to contact Dan. Dan was great to work with and sent a google doc with tons of helpful information. The house had toys for the kids which kept them busy and we enjoyed the fire in evenings. Beach and park for the kids right across the street so prefect location for the kids. The kids (and I) were sad to leave the house and plan to visit again in the future. 5 stars all around!

Great Place, Not Well Managed

Advertisement said it included a golf cart. No golf cart available upon arrival. We asked to check in early because we have very small children who nap. Manager was completely inflexible re same. House was in excellent location, great condition and all was smooth but for the aforementioned snafu regarding the gold cart. Additionally, Manager Dan called my cell phone 3 times and when I finally answered (assuming it was an emergency at work) while on a dolphin cruise, Dan had the gall to ask my permission to let an insurance adjuster in the home. Not cool.

Daughter’s 15th Birthday

Instead of a party, my daughter asked for a beach vacation with her friends and I thought about Siesta Key. Booking was easy as well as getting into the property. I live in the Fort Lauderdale area and drive so I brought some possibly needed household items that I didn’t need. EVERYTHING was there waiting for us, including toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap, and the list goes on. Something I did bring that I used was laundry detergent, although there was some there. I figured I’d leave that for others to use that might fly in. There was a golf cart in the garage that I thought we had access to, because other reviews mentioned using it. It does not come with the rental but I was provided with information to rent one at a reduced rate. We actually did not need it. The beach is a quick and easy walk as is the Village. It was quite hot while we were there so we often used the trolley or taxi golf carts. There were six of us in total and the space was well accommodating and we could have had a few more with us. Thank you for an amazing stay! We will definitely be back!!!

Great location!

Location is key! Just a block away from the beach access, and away from public parking so the beach wasn’t packed. The house was also only about a half mile from the village which was nice. They had plenty of beach chairs and toys for the kids. House was well stocked with essentials. We had two couples and 5 kids between us. We set up the middle bedroom for kids with the trundle bed and twin hide a way. The two year old slept in the pack in play in the master closet. Check out was the easiest I’ve had, which let us enjoy the last morning instead of rushing around and cleaning. It was overall a great experience!
