This condo is located in Building F of the Gulf & Bay Club, with its wide-ranging amenities providing something for everyone from couples to families. Further, Building F is the newest in the complex and the only to boast direct ocean views (accompanied with a private boardwalk to the beach from your building).

Paradise
The Gulf and Bay is a beautifully well maintained property.
The gorgeous beach, amazing pools, tennis courts and all the amenities are fantastic.
The spectacular sunsets are breathtaking.
We had an amazing time and hopefully will return.
The unit was generously apportioned and offered a magnificant view of the gulf and beach.
Overall, we experienced a very pleasant stay. What was quite distracting the first 4 days was front door . It was next to impossible to close and secure that it practically took a line backer to open and close it. Locks could not be operated until Deborah's husband finally responded later in our first week.
The guest bedroom came advertised with a TV, but it was not hooked up and was meant to be used for playing video games only. That, and the lanai pictures, which we recall viewing as being open and not enclosed as part of the living room, need to be addressed in the unit's listing.
But except for those two irritants, we and our guests enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this unit to others interested. Steve Meister
Beautiful Unit!!
A beautiful place to stay. Extremely comfortable and wonderfully decorated. Normally stay in Building E. If there was a downside to the unit it was only that it was a little further away from the G&B lounge beach chairs.
Wonderful unit at Gulf & Bay
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this unit. It has breathtaking views of the gulf and the unit is nicely furnished and comfortable. The property manager was extremely accommodating with any needs or questions. We have stayed at the gulf and bay several times and this is easily one of our favorite units! We can't wait to go back again soon!
I am so glad you enjoyed your stay and felt comfortable in my home. I view my condo as more than a rental. I want my home to be your home when you are here! I was once a renter for seven years on this beach at Siesta Key and understand expectations. Therefore, the little extras you need to call "home" e.g. quality beds and mattresses, towels and amenities that match the décor, crystal wine glasses...are examples of the little things that are important to complement the INCREDIBLE view! Siesta Key and Crescent beach are a paradise; it is important to me that my guests have the entire experience. I am so glad you recognized that my property manager company is "a gem". They share my motto of exceptional personal customer service. My guests will never be expected to pick up a key at a drop box or find their way on their own. Being greeted with a smile and kind welcome adds to my guests' above and beyond experience at my home at the Gulf and Bay Club.
Looking forward to your return!
Wonderful stay!
We spent a month here and had the most wonderful time! The view of the gulf from the living area and master bedroom is unsurpassed. Every evening we enjoyed cocktails while watching the sun set over a beautiful serene gulf. One of my "musts" for an enjoyable stay is a good bed and the beds here were terrific. All of the living spaces are clean and well maintained. This was probably one of our best VRBO trips ever! Couldn't recommend it more!!
