Our 'True' Direct Beach-Front home on 'world famous' Crescent Beach on Siesta Key has the absolute best direct Gulf-Front views on the island. You'll be right on the beach, and you can't get any closer. You'll actually feel as though you're staying in a beachfront cabana (but with all the comforts of home)....

When you first walk through the door, you'll never want to leave. You'll be perched inside... watching, listening and even 'feeling' the gentle gulf waves as you breathe in the fresh salt air from your private all weather beachfront lanai. You'll have the absolute best direct gulf-front views from your lanai, your living room, your dining room and your breakfast bar (even the large kitchen window looks out at the gulf and beach).

And better yet, you'll be located on the 'absolute best part of the private beach' too, about 1 mile north of 'The Point of Rocks' and about 1 mile south of 'The Public Beach'. Those intimately familiar with Siesta Key know that it's generally preferred to not be located too near 'The Point of Rocks' and not too near 'The Public Beach.' Your own private beach on 'almost world famous' Crescent Beach on Siesta Key will be clean, wide, surprisingly un-crowded, yet very centrally located..

You'll be relaxing inside a small, very private 2 story beachfront residential building. The beachfront pool is ' quietly' to the immediate side of you and the 'absolute best part of the private beach' is directly in front of you. From your strategically positioned 2nd floor corner unit, you'll have unobstructed 180 degree panoramic views both up and down the beach.

Your vacation home offers you stainless steel appliances with granite countertops, stylish yet comfortable furniture, fine art, clean comfortable bedding, fine linens and towels, secure WI-FI, large flat screen televisions, washer/dryer, beach towels, beach supplies, and just about everything you'll need for your beachfront vacation..and we're child friendly too!

For 4 hours (10AM - 2PM) immediately prior to your arrival, your accommodations will be fastidiously cleaned and sanitized by your own private housekeeper. She'll always be available to personally assist you to make your vacation even more relaxing..

You 'really will' hear the waves and watch the dolphins swim by from your private all-weather beachfront lanai, and you 'really will' feel as though you're living in a beachfront cabana (but with all the comforts of home).

You may already know that 'world famous' Crescent Beach on Siesta Key was again named the #1 Beach in the United States (including Hawaii) by ' Dr. Beach ', a well published and highly regarded college professor who specializes in the study of American beaches.

Moreover, Crescent Beach on Siesta Key has always been consistently ranked as one of the top beaches in the United States by both Travel and Leisure Magazine as well as The Travel Channel.

When you and your family are vacationing at this true direct beach-front home, you'll be staying at the 'best of the best'! Thank you for visiting our website and all the best to you and your family.

                    5 out of 5 stars (by Diane,family of 4 (Michigan), 5/19/2012 -5/26/2012 Where to begin... Guest: Family of 4(Michigan) Date of Stay: 05/19/12 Review Submitted: 12/17/12 Our family of four stayed in this beautiful condo in May. For all of our other vacations we have stayed in a hotel so we didn't know what to expect renting a condo. To sum it up quickly, after this experience we agreed we will only stay in condos. Although we are fully aware that this owner/condo set the bar really high. The owner was a pleasure to deal with, and provided us with all the information we needed (before and during our stay). The condo was clean, well furnished and the kitchen had everything we could possibly need and more. Our two boys (ages 3 and 7) were blown away by this condo and it's proximity to the beach and pool. The lanai was such an unexpected highlight for the kids. If they weren't in the pool or ocean the boys were hanging out on the lanai. They loved how warm it was and the fact that they could watch the ocean and sunsets every day. The sand in Siesta Key does not get hot, which was a huge plus with my 3 year old. In case I haven't said enough good things about this condo as a vacation destination let me put it into perspective. We wanted to drive to Orlando and take the kids to Disney or Sea World for the day. They cried and said they didn't want to leave the condo resort! We decided against Disney and as a result had the most relaxing and enjoyable vacation as a family. The pool was clean, the beach was absolutely gorgeous and the condo really felt like home. We cannot wait to go back here!!!!

                    "Perfect beacfront holiday home" We had a fantastic stay over the Christmas period - the owners could not have been more helpful, the check in simple and the beachfront location has to be one of the best on Siesta Key. The condo is well appointed, and well stocked so entertaining at home is easy, if you wish. The swimming pool was perfectly located, within steps of the condo. Perfect!!! Thank You John and Torey.

                    "Amazing Get-Away" We have stayed at the Dobsons' condo the past two years, and will again this year. Siesta Key is magical enough, with it's crystal clear water and soft, white sands, it is a wonderful destination for those looking to get away from it all. I have stayed in other locations on the island, and to be sure, the island itself is so wonderful that it would be hard to have a negative experience anywhere...until you stay at the Dobsons'. Nothing else compares to this place. Everything is as wonderful as their description says. You feel so pampered while you are there, everything is just so nice. You couldn't ask for a better view or access to the beach. They are in the perfect location...not too crowded or noisy (like the public beach area), the sand isn't "shelly" as it is closer to the Point of Rocks, it is just pure, blissful, beach-going relaxation. My husband and I look forward to our time there all year long.

                    "stunning beachfront condo" thanks john for the perfect vacation condo on crescent beach...we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in your beautifully furnished and decorated home away from home...loved the sea view, extended by the mirrored walls, unbeatable close beach access and quiet setting...our favorite times were having a glass of wine watching the sunset from the beach, then floating in the water as the stars came out---one evening a family of dolphins joined us...very nice small and friendly community and even on the holiday weekend your private beach was quiet and open...enjoyed the siesta key village life as well...we will definitely be back.

                    Simply Outstanding Teachergal (Frankton, IN) Review submitted: May 5, 2010 Date of arrival: July 25, 2009 When looking at rentals on sites such as this, it is hard to tell how much the owners have exaggerated the view, proximity to beach, and property. These owners have NOT exaggerated. You cannot begin to imagine the view you will see when you open the front door. Every description given is accurate, and then some. We have booked the same property for this year! Everything from the quiet beach that's nearly immediately accessible to the friendly security staff makes this rental worth every penny!

                    Nancy (Harpers Ferry,WV) Review submitted: November 7, 2011 Date of arrival: July 30, 2011 We stayed at the condo for 2 weeks last summer with my 3 children and had a fabulous time!. The beach was wonderful! The condo was very clean and no surprises. I would highly recommend this condo as a vacation destination ! I am very selective regarding where I stay and this condo ranks # 1 on my list. We have for the past 10 years been staying in Mrytle Beach, however being from Hawaii I was needing some beautiful beaches, palm trees and warm clear ocean and more low key than Mrytle beach. Siesta Beach reminded so much of Hawaii just without the mountains. Jeanie was extremely helpful and so pleasant and full of knowledge regarding places to go , good restaurants and suggestions and ideas that the kids might like to enjoy such as shark tooth collecting. They loved it! Looking forward to returning this summer ! Nancy Recommended for: age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers, girls getaway, sight seeing, romantic getaway
