Excellent location, excellent property. Being able to push off in a kayak into the inlet and explore Bird Key and the mangrove preserve was awesome. Only unfortunate thing was the break they had to build due to the 2024 hurricanes, but still great gulf access.

Thanks for the review! We love how close you are to wildlife at this location!
Rental was exactly like pictures and as described. Kitchen had everything we needed and more. View was beautiful and having the docks available for a boat was a huge plus.

Thank you for the review! We appreciate it! The beach on one side and the bay on the other is a definite plus for this location!
The view from the lanai was stunning! Opening the doors to enjoy the sound of the waves was so incredible. The entire condo was well appointed. The property is wonderfully maintained. The only complaint was all the consyruction noise but understandable due to the hurricane recovery.

We're always glad to hear that guests enjoyed their stay. We apologize for the noise on this stay...fortunately, the post-hurricane work is completed so this should not be an issue for future guests.

Amazing vacation destination!!
We were very pleased with our stay at Fisherman's Cove. It was very peaceful and relaxing. The condo itself was as nice as all of the pictures had shown. The kitchen was well supplied with anything that we needed. We would definitely recommend this to anyone interested. We plan to come back in the future as well.
Condo 311B was phenomenal! The owners and management company clearly have done an amazing job of adding every possible item you need for your trip. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need including a Keurig. The rest of the condo has great bedding, bath supplies, and beach towels. We were pleasantly surprised that the hall closet was full of beach items including umbrellas, chairs, grass mats, boogie boards, fishing equipment, etc. The washer and dryer were an added perk for sure. We can’t wait to return next year and for years to come. This condo and it’s location in Siesta Key is a little piece of heaven! Highly recommend Fisherman’s Cove!
We absolutely loved our stay at Fisherman’s Cove. The view was breathtaking and there was easy access to a non crowed beach. The condo was updated and well stocked. Will definitely want to stay here next time we visit Sarasota!

Thank you for the review! We look forward to having you stay with us again!
The view was amazing! A slice of heaven on earth. Loved being right on the beech that we could walk for miles on.... the shells were plentiful and the sunsets gorgeous. This was one of our best travel experiences - the condo was perfect & comfy and the staff on the property were always busy taking care of business & very friendly. Can’t wait to return. Thank you for sharing one of the best kept secrets on Siesta Key with us. Loved every minute!!!

Thank you for the review! We love this location as well and agree, "a slice of heaven on earth!"
This is our second year to stay at Fisherman's Cove and we are very happy with the location (right on the Gulf!) as well as close to shopping, restaurants etc. in Sarasota. Overall, we were very satisfied. This particular condo has recently been thoroughly updated with new floor tile, quartz countertops and a great shower in the Master BR. We spent each morning sipping coffee and looking out at the waves! And, each night we were lulled to sleep by the same surf!
Here's a couple items that need some attention: the cleaning crew does a general "Okay" job but forgot to vacuum sand from the dresser drawers and just didn't do great at wiping some surfaces from previous guests. Also, the washing machine is acting a bit goofy. The first load of towels did fine but each load after that did not properly rinse or spin. We had three loads of sopping wet laundry that took hours to dry. Other than these minor inconveniences we would highly recommend Fisherman's Cove and especially this condo. Thanks!
Great experience. We had one small problem which Lisa and her staff dealt with very quickly. We love Fisherman's Cove having stayed there a number of times and I have to say I think this condo was the best for the price. Great place ... we will be back!!

Great view - Great condo
Our condo was beautiful and the view of the gulf was fantastic. Watching the waves come in was soothing and it was exactly what we were looking for. This area is quiet and restful. The view of the lagoon was also nice and the fish were constantly jumping. If I was looking for a negative it would be the beach was not as easily walkable as most beaches in Florida. The sand was grey rather than white and you would sink when walking. I usually walk 2-3 miles per day along the beach but instead had to walk on the sidewalk where the view was houses instead of beach. The houses were gorgeous so it really wasn't a big negative. We had good weather and enjoyed eating at Turtles.

Thank you for leaving a review! Yes, the beach is smaller but we find that it contributes to the beauty! The ability to be so close to the water makes this a "one of a kind" location. We look forward to seeing you again!

Less than average; we were very disappointed.
The mattress in MBR seriously needs replaced. We had issues with the shower handles in both bathrooms, but maintenance did respond quickly to replace the handles. The patio doors had not been cleaned and were disgusting. It is nice that the lanai is air conditioned, but what that means is if you want to open the doors to hear the ocean the AC automatically shuts off. This wouldn't be an issue in spring or fall, but it is too hot to do that in the summer. Additionally however, there were some holes in the screen, so I wouldn't have left the doors open anyway. This property was described accurately, but the things I described above are things you just simply don't know until you're there. We were disappointed, but knowing we couldn't get a refund, made the best of our time there.

This unit was COMPLETELY renovated 2 years ago including brand new bedding. Mattresses are a funny thing (too hard, too soft, just right.) Our owners buy mattress they prefer. We also make sure that our pictures accurately reflect the unit including the lanai. Hopefully the next unit you rent will meet your needs.

Perfect
My wife and I stayed in unit 311-B for 7 days recently and it was terrific. The unit is exactly like the pictures on the web site, but nothing is like walking into the unit for the first time and looking out at the beautiful view of the beach and waters of the Gulf. This view is from the both the lanai and master bed-room. The view from the back of the unit is also beautiful looking out over the boat docks and waters of the lagoon. The unit comes supplied with everything you could want for cooking, entertaining, relaxing with a cocktail , fishing, swimming, or just lying on the beach. One of the best things we really appreciated was the washer & dryer in the unit, it came in very handy. The unit was spot-less and everything appears to be in very good condition. I really liked the shutters in the bedrooms which added class but where very functional. We have stayed on Siesta Key the last 5 years, but this is our first year at Fisherman's Cove, which has now become our go-to-place. The area is very quiet compared to the large public beach or Village area, and so relaxing. Walkout out the front and your are on the beach, how can things be better than that!! You can rent kayaks, small boats, and paddle boards at the Public Beach located right next to the condo. There are 3 restaurants within walking distance with great Happy Hours and dinner menus. There are also gas grills located near the boat docks and Lagoon area. Would recommend this unit to anyone who is looking for a relaxing, peaceful , inexpensive vacation.

This place is beautiful.
The condo and beach are beautiful. Aways away from downtown. This is a quiet end of the key and the troley runs but you can't count on it. We rented the kids bikes after the second day. Mu hubby and I tried to not go downtown since it took forever in traffic driving. If you are looking for a quiet end of the key this is it. If you are looking for Siesta Beach scene I would stay closer to downtown so you can walk everywhere.

ideal locale with great gulf water & sunset views
10 years with sunnyside properties at fisherman's cove. two building 3-story condo complex with gated entry and private pool. very private, very quiet, and very convenient to dining, shopping and fun. all furnished condo units with lanais offer unobstructed views of gulf water & sunsets. paddleboarding & kayaking available on inland waterway which is adjacent to private parking area. boat docking and gas grills available on site.

VERY NICE! Very clean and well maintained.
This was as nice as any place I’ve stayed on Siesta Key over the last 15 years. I’ve always stayed on Crescent Beach; wanted to give this one a try as it’s right on the water and a quieter albeit smaller less flat beach missing the quartz sand of Crescent. At this point in our lives we do more beach sitting than walking, and value the quiet. The lanai of this condo was very enjoyable, do to comfy furniture and closeness to the water. Very well stocked kitchen for cooking, again, better than any vacation condo I’ve encountered.
