Great place! Had a wonderful time! The place had everything we needed, dishes, pots, pans, coffee maker, toaster, beach towels, beach chairs and umbrellas…just right for the two of us! While you can’t see the beach/ocean from the place it’s literally a straight 2-3 min walk down a soft sandy path to the beach. Beach is right next to a section of the ocean front that is rocky and provides a cool spot for finding shells. We had bikes delivered (and picked up) to our place and rode to siesta key village one day - 20-30 min ride - shopped a little, then visited the public beach there, which that too was wonderful. The next day we arranged for kayaks at Turtle Beach and kayak’d several hours around the Bird Keys. We are excited to tell our friends about the Old Man and the Sea in hopes we can return and stay there again!!
