- Minimum stay:N/A
- Internet:Yes
- Pets allowed:No
- Wheel chair accessible:No
Enjoy the best of both worlds during your Florida vacation in this cozy, tranquil oasis located on beautiful Siesta Key. Our condo is a quiet escape nestled amid lush tropical landscaping and is ideally situated within steps from both bay and gulf: just a 3 minute stroll to your private beach on Siesta Key (ranked #2 among America’s Best Beaches by Dr. Beach). You simply need a towel, a cool drink and some sun screen because the beach attendant will do the rest, including pulling up chairs and installing an umbrella for you! With some of the finest, whitest sand in the world, this beach is a magnet for shell collectors. Siesta Beach has clear, warm and tranquil blue waters that are ideal for swimming and who knows, you may even spot a dolphin playing in the surf! Be sure to end each day by enjoying the spectacular sunset on Siesta Key – truly magical, and every night is a different show!
After a day at the beach, return to the comfort of your condo, sit on the spacious screened lanai and enjoy the quiet beauty of the tropical grounds and waterfront canal. This location is ideal for boat lovers with docks conveniently located just steps from your back door and easy access to the Intercoastal Waterway or Gulf of Mexico. If action is more your style, an array of water sports awaits you, including snorkeling, scuba diving, kayak/jet ski rentals, boat/fishing charters, parasailing and more. Bike rentals are steps away, and golf courses are plentiful in the area. This private, gated community is packed with amenities, including two tennis courts (one lighted), two heated pools, covered private parking, gas grills, boat docks (rental fee required), outdoor bathrooms and showers (for rinsing off the beach sand), and laundry facilities.
Stay connected to the world (and work - if you must) with free and secure WIFI/broadband access (a computer/printer is also available in the clubhouse during daytime hours). Keep the young ones entertained with hundreds of TV channels via Verizon FIOS TV, or watch a movie on DVD.
When you’re ready for shopping, dining and other casual pursuits, charming Siesta Key Village is filled with fun. Or, travel over the bridge to points south (Sarasota Square Mall) or north along SR 41 to find an array of options, from the panoramic views offered at Sarasota marina, to the eclectic boutiques, cinemas and galleries downtown, and from world-class shopping on St. Armand’s Circle near Lido Beach, to the beautiful grounds of Selby Gardens, Ringling Museum and adjacent “Ca’ D’Zan” Mansion.
We are “locals” - born and raised in this beautiful locale. We invite you to share and enjoy our cozy, tranquil slice of paradise. Once you discover Siesta Key, we have no doubt you will fall in love with the area and like us, dream of returning often.

Seeing how wonderful the beach is, if we come here again we will pick the beach side. Our stay here was pleasant but we were rather shocked that we needed to purchase the essentials, toilet paper, hand soap, coffee filters,dish soap, dish scrubbers, salt & pepper, paper towels, etc. The laundry was about 80 yards away which was a disappointment. Nice area but making a left turn out of the complex was always difficult. Lots of foliage but also rather dark. The office was difficult to reach the day before and the day of arrival, never did make it through, just got the garbled answering machine, so we were a little freaked when we arrived and had no idea how to get our key as the office was closed. The beach is out of this world!!Recommended for: Age 55+.
Owner response: Hi Ken & Kristen- Thank you very much for visiting our unit and offering us frank feedback. We always strive to improve our guests' experience, so this is very helpful. We're sorry you had trouble accessing our unit, and that you were surprised by the minimal supplies. We are happy to report that effective immediately, ALL Midnight Cove units offer a "welcome kit" of supplies for guests, because others found this to be a similar problem which the owners have rectified. Again, we appreciate your patronage and that you wrote and look forward to hosting you at Midnight Cove in the future.

This is the second year in a row that we have spent both Christmas and New Year's Eve at this property. Once again we found the escape from the Ohio snow most enjoyable! The sand is so cool and white that the first time our two year old stepped into it, she said "Oh - snow!" We loved spending time at the pool and building castles in the sand, and really appreciated the fact that there were sand toys available...one less thing that we needed to pack. The condo was clean, cozy and comfortable, and we are looking forward to returning!Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.
Owner response: Thank you for your kind words, Stephanie! We are delighted that your family had a great vacation in our condo. Please visit us again soon. And Happy New Year!

Just got back from a week at this condo. It has a very good location was a few minutes walk across property to the beach. Being on the intercostal side was quiet and laid back. Beach was very nice and uncrowded was expecting more people. There's alot of stuff in the area to do from dinning to activities. Condo decorated nicely and very clean. Really felt like home and the people there are supper nice. Had a great time and already looking forward to next years trip.Recommended for: Age 55+, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.

Everything was exactly as was stated in the description and photos. Plenty of room and comfortable accomodations, beautiful landscaping and very easy walk to the beach. Close to restaurants and shopping and easy access into town. My husband and son spent a ton of time fishing off the dock right out the back door. Had a great stay at a great price and will hopefully come back!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: We're delighted this guest had a great experience at our condo. We love fishing off the docks, too! Welcome back any time!

Dear owners: We had a wonderful time staying at your condo. It was clean and very comfortable. The walk to the beach is 3 minutes so not bad at all. We had a perfect weather with no rain during the week. My family and I had a great time. I'll stay at your place again in the near future. I also signed the guestbook you have in your condo. Thank you for everything.Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children.

Just recently returned from our stay in this charming Midnight Cove condo. Even though there were five adults & one child, occupying the space, we did not feel overcroweded in this unit. We did, however, move the large dining table out to the screened lanai, as it made it hard to maneuver around in the living room with it in the room.....especially with a one year old who had just begun walking & ran into things a lot =). When we checked in the unit was nicely cleaned, but it did appear that the previous occupants may have put the dishes away without proper cleaning....which housekeeping probably should have checked up on....we did have to rewash almost all the dishes, cookware & glasses. The beds were very comfortable, with the exception of the sleep sofa (my son & his girlfriend complained that they could feel the "bars" through the mattress.....maybe having an aero / inflatable bed would be a better option......a queen size mattress would be perfect)....and the furnished linens, pillows, and towels (nice thick ones, too!!), were in ample supply, along with plenty of beach towels. We really enjoyed eating out on the screened lanai, which is very spacious......and made use of the properties gas grills, which are furnished on the grounds for MC residents & guests......a nice "perk"!! Another extremely nice "perk" of this property, are the furnished chairs & umbrellas on the beach......along with an attendant to set them up for you......staying on the Bay side of the property, we were really glad we didn't have chairs to lug back and forth!! Thanks so much for your hospitality, Jennifer, and for renting us your nice beach condo at such a reasonable rate. VRBO is the wya to go, and saved us quite a bit over the regular Midnight Cove rental riate!! We would highly recommend this condo to others for a relaxing beach getaway =)!! Kind regards, JaneRecommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.

This little gem is in the perfect spot for a beach getaway. Located just across the street from the beach and minutes from the heart of Siesta Key. Easy mainland access as the south bridge is right at the corner. Condo is perfect for families, nestled away from the main road with a view of the canal. Great porch too! Take advanatge of all that Siesta Key and Sarasota have to offer. You won't be disappointed.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.

About the owner: We are Sarasota "locals" - born and raised in paradise. We live away from the area now but return often to stroll along its pristine beaches, soak up the sun, fish in clear waters, dine, shop and just have a wonderful, relaxing "family" time. We invite you to do the same!
Why the Owner Chose Midnight Cove:
Because we are from the area, we immediately zeroed in on Siesta Key, as it is one of the most sought-after beach vacation destinations on the planet! We searched all along Siesta Key and found no better managed and maintained property than Midnight Cove. The staff is wonderfully attentive and professional, and the grounds and condos are meticulously maintained. Finally, Midnight Cove offers all of the amenities that we desire when vacationing, so we know this location would fit the bill for our guests.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo:
The opportunity to be adjacent to the bay - rent a boat slip and enjoy an immediate fishing journey is tremendous. We also love the ability to literally walk steps away from our condo onto Crescent Beach, without the hassle of finding parking and with the luxury of a beach attendant setting up a chair and umbrella! It's a down-to-earth, low-key luxury experience!
