Great location! Restaurant's, grocery store, coffee shop, icecream shop, shopping, free trolly that takes you around the island, and steps away from the beach make it perfect.Only recommendation I have is upgradding the cooking pans to a non stick. We had difficulties making eggs, minor right, when your vacationing on the beach.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our unbeatable location and all the conveniences that make The Sea Shell such a special place — from the beach just steps away to the great restaurants, shops, and the free trolley.
We truly appreciate your feedback about the cookware, sounds like it's time for a pots and pans upgrade to non‑stick to make breakfasts on the beach even smoother for future stays!
The apartment was nice and tastefully decorated. Clean. Hot water was scalding in master bath but plumber fixed it. Guest bath the nozzle ran as well as shower but worked. Disappointed that pool was towards front and not much sun. Only thing better would have been to have a balcony view of beach. Great proximity to beach and restaurants and to rode trolley

Everything was great! From the beginning at check in to the end at check out! Rooms are very clean! Pool area was clean! 10/10!
This condo was PERFECT for our family beach trip!! It is steps from a beautiful private beach and the decor has been updated since and is better than the pictures!! They even had a pack n play available for the baby. The host was quick to respond and kept us updated - our stay was right after the hurricane hit but it had no effect on this property. Great food in walking distance. Bring your quarters if you want to do laundry but they do have them available in the office too.

Red Tide
If they say Red Tide stay away
that was a terrible thing that happened to the Florida coast.
beautiful beach that was really at it's worst the last few weeks.
the dead fish and smells were more than any one wanted to bare.
The condo was nice with only a few challenges but all in all great location

Dear Daniel,
We agree that the red tide was magnitudes worse than we've ever experienced. Thankfully its gone for now. We're glad you enjoyed your condo, we only wish your entire stay was more enjoyable; Sea Shell Condos strives for all of our guests to look forward to returning when they're gone.
Please contact our rental office manager Maria directly so we may try to ameliorate this issue.
Great location .. room had musty smell .. but overall great experience
Location was great. Beach was excellent! Room had a very funky musty smell. Probably issue with the AC. It didn’t keep the master suite cool. But very spacious. And well equipped. Listing says remodeled but it’s a bit dated and worn. Front door had large gap when closed. Be warned if checking in after hours .. no communication with host! Office was closed.

Hi Joseph,
We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay, and we agree - the beach is excellent!
Thank you for your feedback and for staying with us. We’re sorry to hear that you noticed an odor during your stay. The condo was recently repainted prior to your arrival, and it’s possible the scent you detected was related to the fresh paint rather than anything musty. We truly appreciate your comments and will continue to monitor the unit closely to ensure it remains comfortable and welcoming for all our guests. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future!

Great location, okay condo
This condo has a great location. A short trolley ride to the Village but far enough away from the public beach. It’s just a short walk from the condo door to the beach. Restaurant, ice cream, bar, grocery and gift shop just across the road. The condo itself could use some work. The master bed was not comfortable and squeaked anytime you sat on it. The decor could use some updating. The condo worked for our purpose since we spent most of our time at the beach. For the money having a more updated condo would be nice. Our friends stayed in this same complex and their condos were nicer.

We are so glad that you enjoyed everything Siesta has to offer. Thank you so much for your feedback in regards to the condition of the property we greatly appreciate it. With Spring Break just ending our units start to have minuet gaps of availability. We at Sea Shell take time to assess each unit and determine further upgrades to the unit. Thank you again and we look forward to your next visit with us!

Reviewer Comments:
Room 108 is fresh and very modern. Beds are comfy, couch is nice. Location is great, price is fair. Pots and pans need to be tossed and replaced with stainless steel. Otherwise had everything we needed. We were disappointed with the pool as we could not see the bottom the entire duration of our stay and there was scum on the tiles. Was told by management spring breakers were using the pool and trashed it. There are keypads everywhere to grant access but not one for the pool which I find necessary. We did not get to enjoy the pool. Did find cockroaches in master bathroom but was told they come out when it rains, which is probably accurate. Otherwise housekeeping does a great job keeping the place clean.

seashell unit 108
We recently stayed at this unit and found it to be exceptionally clean and well maintained. Everything was in excellent operating condition. Furnishings and kitchen items were all updated. The office staff members were very accommodating and quickly responded to requests. The beach was beautiful and very clean with very soft white sand. Ocean was clear, calm and warm. Great beach for families with young children. There were plenty of chairs and lounge chairs for the beach available all day. The entire property was very well maintained. The location was excellent with a small grocery store across the street, several restaurants, and stores, all within walking distance. Enjoyed the restaurant Clayton's about a half block from the condo. This was our first visit to this area of Florida, but we look forward to returning and would highly recommend this unit for future stays.
