We had a wonderful time in your beautiful condo. Sometimes pictures make things look better than they are but in your listing the pictures do not do justice to the view and the accommodations. My highlight was watching the moon set over the gulf. So beautiful. Of course the sunsets can't be beat. We certainly hope to come back next year. Thank you for allowing us to share your condo.

What a Wonderful Week!!

What perfect place to stay at a perfect beach! The condo is tastefully furnished, expertly designed, and meticulously clean. We felt immediately at home. After preparing our meals in the beautiful and equipped kitchen, we ate them on the lanai facing the Gulf of Mexico and the gorgeous white beach. This condo is situated close to shopping and convenient to good restaurants like Captain Curt's; Kasey Key, and the many in 'downtown' Siesta Key. We'll definitely be returning.

Owner response:Thank you very much Kathy, and Richard for the kind remarks. We are always open to your comments ,and feedback. We try to update things each year ,and will be glad to have you return Connie and Dick

I have stayed in many vacation properties throughout Florida including both coasts and I must say this condo, this view, and this gorgeous white sand beach was the best yet. This is a home - not a rental property. First class furniture, decor, and comfortable beds. I'm thinking about starting to buy lotto tickets so I can purchase my own condo at Crystal Sands!! Dick and Connie - THANK YOU for sharing your home with us!!! We had a wonderful time!!!!

My family stayed in this unit 8/2010. This was our first trip to a FL beach and it was a dream. Kudos to the owner who keeps a spectacular condo. It was exceptionally clean and very accomodating to our needs during our stay. Everything u might possibly need is provided including beach supplies and books and movies for those not so great beach days. I initially had issues with the wifi on arrival although the owner called me right back and had it working in no time. Had a pleasant and very comfortable stay. I would highly recommend this unit to anyone looking for the comforts of home while enjoying the beauty of this little piece of paradise.

Just wanted to tell you again how much we enjoyed our vacation at your lovely condo. My husband loves to cook and so we enjoyed cooking in your wonderful and well stocked kitchen. We also loved the book collection. We both enjoyed numerous books on the beach. Everything was just right...the easy access to the beach was the best we have ever had and that made it SO much better for us. Everything we needed or wanted to do was right at our fingertips...the museums and restaurants we excellent and I'd highly recommend you to all my friends...thanks again!

My family and I would like you to know how pleased we were with your condo. We have been coming to Crystal Sands for about 6 years now but this was our first time renting your unit and boy are we glad we did! Personally I can't believe the difference between your unit and the others we've rented in the same building. We did hope yours would be really nice based on the photos in your listing but you never know. All I can say is that when my husband opening the door for the first time my jaw dropped - it's nicer than our home & that just makes a vacation extra special to me. The view is amazing and the way you thought of every detail really makes a difference. It's just so beautiful inside but still comfortable - a perfect 10!! Just to be safe we already reserved for next summer to make sure we can get your place again! Thanks so much for sharing your beach home with us! John & Shannon Montgomery Lexington, KY

Hello Dick I just wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed our stay at Siesta Key. The weather was great-not too humid, very little rain. We had great food daily ( not from my cooking ! ) Your Condo is outsatanding-the down pillows-I think I sleep better there then I do in my own bed. The dimmer switches in the bathroom-what a great idea!! The kitchen-my husband absolutely loved all the stainless steel appliances. The view--amazing All the comforts of home. Thank you and we hope to visit again. Kim and Dennis Harvey

We had a wonderful time at your condo. The photos on the website accurately depict what you get - a beautiful condo in beautiful surroundings! Our family especially enjoyed the board games and also the water toys. It appears that each guest leaves a little something at the condo for the next guest to use. We left a raft and paddle balls. If we are out this way again, we would not hesitate to stay here again.

Just a note to thank you for the use of your beautiful Condo. We enjoyed every minute of it. Where else can you get pictures of the sunrise,sunset, and rainbows all in the same day,at the beach ? We left before signing the Guestbook but we did want you to know we enjoyed ourselves, and will want to rent again. Thanks, Bobby and Dorothy Baxter
