The place was very clean and well kept with everything we needed for our week’s stay. Loved the location, a block from the beach and a short walk to the village. A little more room around the pool and a few less shade trees around it would be an improvement for those who’d rather sunbathe by a pool instead of the beach. But otherwise it all was lovely. We would definitely stay here again!

Thank you so much for your wonderful 5⭐️ review! I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed the cleanliness, the location, and that the home had everything you needed for a comfortable stay. Being just a short walk to both the beach and the Village really is something special. Thank you as well for your thoughtful feedback regarding the pool area. Here in Florida, especially during the summer months, the heat can become quite intense, so we are always very grateful for every bit of natural shade we can get. It helps keep the space comfortable for guests throughout the day. It was truly a pleasure hosting you, and I would love to welcome you back anytime for another stay on Siesta Key!

Beautiful condo, close to beach. We were in Siesta Key to see the Sand sculptures and location was perfect as we could walk. Downtown area is very cute. Condo was very comfortable for 3 couples and very clean. We didn’t have time to use pool but it looked beautiful. Check in and booking were extremely easy and owner was very accommodating. If we are in the area again, would definitely love to stay again at this lovely condo.
