I somehow missed that this property is a duplex style unit, so heads up if you haven’t noticed that. Thankfully during our stay, it was never a problem, I would have just preferred to know before booking. The house was clean, had all the kitchen amenities that we needed for a week long stay. However, if you’re looking to book this house for the pool area - keep looking! The lights in and around the pool and back area dont work and this seems to have be an ongoing issue based on previous reviews. Even in mid June, the pool was like a hot tub. I would expect that late July-Oct, just not yet. And there needs to be some mosquito treatment, they’ll carry you away by 7pm! I reached out to The Cottages about the lighting, and they are always very responsive, this just seems to be an owner failure to repair problem. But it was close to the main beach area, and there is a great bus system to get you around the island as the village is walkable, it’s just a decent walk (prob .75 mile). The buses made it much more enjoyable. Found a few good restaurants, but many of them just have the exact same menu. This was our first time to Siesta Key. We had some fun excursions and a great time with our adult children! Can’t say for sure if we’ll go back, but the beaches are beautiful, it’s like being in the Caribbean without the passport and travel hassle.
