Serene/Cozy Hideout

So many great things to say. I booked this because of the good price and water views. I am SO glad I did, as I was looking for the perfect spot and this truly met it. The hours looking was well worth stumbling upon this gem. Raffie is so lovely personally and professionally. She was super communicative during our stay and prior to it. She asked what time we’d be ready and told us to come on over whenever. This was our first visit with Siesta Key and this spot really made the visit worth it. If you’re a water person like my family and I, you’ll ADORE this. You get three views of water, all different colors, so the contrast makes it great visually. Located at the end of the street, so it’s super quiet and makes it calm coming back after spending all day at the beach. My kiddo slept in all different spots because she enjoyed it all. This place is closest to Turtle Beach and my family and I drove maybe two minute down the road and swam with a wild manatee for an hour. The two decks are great, but the water one is hard to stay away from. I worked on my computer out there and it was extremely quiet and serene. The place is very clean, bright, homey. It’s filled with items you need to use if you forgot something. So many towels and pillows. The gated community makes it really nice and adds to the quietness. I am writing this as we drive back home from our trip and I already am considering booking a future trip back now. Thank you for the best beach vacation stay ever!

We loved the location and how quiet the surroundings are. Loved being able to walk to Turtles beach for the day and return later to watch the sunset. And Raffie was a pleasure to talk with.

A Little Piece of Paradise 

Everything about this place was perfect. Raffie, the owner, was easy to get in touch with and fantastic to work with, and the unit was very comfortable and clean, complete with a great kitchen, 3 TVs, comfy beds, and a large cozy couch.  The unit also features two balconies—one with a view of the Gulf of Mexico and Blind Pass Canal, perfect for sunset viewing and watching the kayaks and boats pass by, and the other was a lovely spot to eat your meals with a large dining table.The location is in a quiet part of the island -very close to Turtle Beach, which offers great fishing and various water activities, and the start point for the free trolley that takes you to other spots on Siesta Key. Also, there are two restaurants within walking distance of the condo. The facility has only eight units, creating a peaceful and friendly environment. The common areas include a beautiful heated pool with lounge chairs and stunning water views. Raffie owns two units, both well-equipped with everything you need, including a washer and dryer, kayaks, beach gear, and more.We stayed for a week and had a wonderful experience with everything we needed. If we ever return to Siesta Key, we will definitely stay here again.

Great location for us

Our Siesta Key ground level condo was devastated by the pair of hurricanes this fall. Our travel was already booked and non-refundable or changeable. We stumbled across this condo unit and everything met our criteria. The pool was great for my wife and daughter, and my son entertained himself fishing from the dock all day. They were so close my wife could take pictures of his latest catch from her pool side chair! The condo has everything you need and is walking distance to three restaurants, each a different price point, menu, and feel. Turtle Beach and children's park are both walkable as well. Sunrises and Sunsets to begin and end your day. We're already looking to book our next stay!

Fantastic stay

We knew the area around turtle beach and love it because of "blind pass" the beach and the quietness. The appartment is really nice. Clean, airy, really nice kitchen. We were lucky to have the pool almost all to our selves every day. The communication with the owner swift and she is extremely helpful

Slice Of Paradise

We absolutely Loved our 5 Day Staycation here on Turtle Beach / Siesta Key! We’ve been coming down to Siesta Key and Turtle Beach for years and this condo is the perfect GetAway! And by far one of the Nicest we’ve stayed at. It’s got everything you need and then some. Great Views, Nice Pool, Very Peaceful, Beautiful Sunsets and Steps away from water sports. Kayaking, Paddle-Boarding, Fishing etc.. And we couldn’t have asked for a nicer Host- the owner Raffie, is very on point, super helpful and has an excellent sense of communication. She told us about a hidden gem of a beach (Palmer Point Park) which is accessible by Kayak, Paddle Board or Boat. My daughter and I paddled down on two separate days and the crystal blue water @ that secluded beach is Breathtaking! We spent hours there enjoying that beautiful water and hunting for amazing sea shells. We can’t wait to go back! If you need to hit a grocery store there is a Publix a few miles away inland and tons of other restaurants and shops. Also the Turtle beach access is literally next door so you can either walk or ride a bike there. This place gets a 5 Stars across the board! 💯 Thank You Raffie

Quiet and cute condo

My husband and I really enjoyed staying at this 2 bedroom 1 bath condo. We highly recommend it and would definitely rent it again. Kitchen is very nicely remodeled and well equipped. It has 2 coffee makers: 1 brew pot, 1 Keurig. There are 2 balconies. 1 facing east to watch the sun come up and the other facing west. You have a peek a boo gulf view and can hear the waves at night. It faces the heated pool and midnight pass where kayakers, paddle boarders and manatees go past. We loved spending a quiet night on the balcony after a day at the beach. You are almost to the end of turtle beach and it is very quiet. The condo has only 8 units. At least 3 restaurants are within walking distance down the quiet street. Turtle Beach is about a 4 block walk. You can catch the free trolley about 2 blocks away. What a great location. And Raffie is great to work with.

Hidden Gem

We loved returning to our condo each evening, away from the craziness of the main drag. Our day started with coffee on one of the spacious decks and a greeting from a dolphin right in front of the pool. Then we would make breakfast in the bright, well-equipped, clean kitchen. Having laundry, safe parking, and comfortable beds made us feel at home. The plentiful towels, beach chairs, beautiful pool area, and friendly neighbors were amazing perks. We will definitely stay here again!

winter get-away

My wife and I came to Siesta Key for a week to escape cold weather. We were extremely pleased with our rental condo and so happy we were at Turtle Bay. The condo was perfect and met our needs and loved having 2 decks to sit on. The location was so much quieter than the areas near Siesta village and we would want to stay here again.

This is NOT a 2 bathroom property

As we searched VRBO for 2bd, 2ba, this one came up. It is listed as 2bd, 2ba but in the description provided by Raffie, she does slay 1 bath. I had communicated through VRBO messaging system, asking Raffie a few questions. We wanted to bring our boat, but there is a resident that uses the lift and it is not permitted to leave the boat at the dock overnight. Also, there is no room for trailer parking. We did not bring our boat because of this, which is fine. However, when I made the reservation through VRBO, apparently they did not notify Raffie of this, and she permitted the previous tenant to extend their stay. When it was check in time at 3:00, I was waiting for some kind of check in code or automatic key. I never received anything so I messaged Raffie. She called me and told me she was not aware that we had made the reservation. She said VRBO never notified her. Our sons were already there waiting to check in. She told me she would get the previous renter out and change the sheets to get us in by 6:00. She did do that for us. The property itself is nice, right on the waterway. There are kayaks there to use, and it is not far from the trolley stop that goes into Siesta Key. The pool is also very nice. The apartment is beautifully decorated and furnished. We had a good visit to the area but these were just a couple of mishaps that we wanted to let people know about.
