Cozy Family Get Away

This spot was perfect for our family. It was out of the hustle bustle, but a quick walk to Turtle Beach. The trolley stop was a quick way for us to connect to shops and restaurants without the headache of parking. The views of Little Sarasota Bay were breathtaking! Wonderful and comfortable stay!

Property had everything we needed. So thankful for the kayaks being available so we could get to Palmer Point. What a beautiful area to swim! We saw a manatee there and plenty of dolphin off the back deck.

Friends trip

Perfect place for a relaxing getaway. The view was beautiful. The place was clean, beds were comfortable, and communication with the owner easy and the response was timely. Short walk to the trolley stop or Turtle Beach access. Truly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back.

Amazing experience and so close to everything

Highly encourage staying here. The view was incredible each morning, saw dolphins and manatees every day, great restaurants within walking distance and close to the trolly stop to get us down town on siesta key. The location really was awesome. Would come back. Love the area

Quality Property in Quiet Location

We enjoyed our time at this quaint, cozy property. It was clean, functioned well, and had great views of Little Sarasota Bay from the upstairs deck. Thanks for the use of your property.

The unit was great. It had everything we needed and was a short walk to the beach. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony and watching the fish and dolphins jumping in the bay.

Great location, great amenities. Clean and relatively nice. Parking was challenging because of the restaurant next door. Had a heated confrontation with an uber driver. Comfortably of the furniture was lacking, not unbearable but the couch and chair were very stiff and made it hard to relax in the later evenings.

Comfortable apartment with a fantastic view!

We loved sitting on the balcony watching the sunrise and the osprey nesting not far away. We saw dolphins one evening and enjoyed exploring in the kayaks. There is a Breeze Trolley stop 2 blocks away, allowing us to visit several beaches on the key easily. We highly recommend this VRBO stay and hope to bisit again!

Five-Star View

We spent lots of time on the patio overlooking the waterway. There is an osprey nest close enough to watch the baby. We were there for the full moon, and that was incredible. The condo is spacious and well stocked with everything we needed. Comfy bed as well. And the neighborhood is beautiful, with great restaurants and shops just a short distance away. Close to the beach too.

Perfect Vacation House

We enjoyed our stay. We were close to the beaches and wonderful restaurants. The amazing view of the water was perfect. We saw dolphins everyday. The kayaks and paddle boards we so much fun. We had everything we needed for the beach. We would defiantly stay here again. The house could use some more beach towels but that is not a big deal.

Feels like a comfortable home

We loved the location of this property. It was equipped with everything you need and may have forgotten to bring. Loved the lagoon side with dolphins daily. Walking distance to Turtle Beach, great path for walkers/runners and bikers along the road. It was a great gem of a find on VRBO!

2nd story view was incredible

If you are looking for an apartment in the quiet part of Siesta key this is your place. The 2 bedrooms with the living areas are quite comfortable. The view is beautiful. The apartment is dated but all is in working condition.

Wonderful Choice!

Absolutely loves our stay at this lovely condo. The deck overlooks the water and we saw manatees, dolphins and many birds. The location was perfect for us because it was on the quiet end and out of all the beaches we visited, Turtle Beach was our favorite. Bonus points because we could walk there. Brunch was fabulous at Turtles on the Bay, directly across from the beach. Can't wait to come back again!

Except Rest and relaxation spot

Property is in a quiet area. Views of the bay are beautiful and as promised a great place to see dolphins. Everything that was needed was available and owner was very responsive to any questions. Perfect place to paddle board and kayak around the bay or over to the beach for a little beach time. Kitchen was quite large, bedrooms were small and dated, but very clean and neat. Enjoyed our time!

Mini Vacation

The place is not the newest place on the beach but it was very cozy, it has everything you need. We brought our kayaks, chairs, long boards, fishing poles and things but they had everything at the facility. I would love to stay here again. If faces bird island which is beautiful, you can walk to the beach or take their bikes or you can take a free trolley on the breeze the the more populated part of the island. My family and I really enjoyed it! Thankful they had aloe on hand for the sunburn, that was one thing I forgot.

The Perfect Spot

Is the place updated? No! But it is clean and comfortable. The key has such a relaxing vibe and this place is such a find. Turtle beach in the morning is amazing. Siesta Beach in the evenings. The restaurant next door has a delicious menu. Truly recommend especially to those that don't want to be in the busy condo zone.

Great little place but some plumbing issues

Sewer gas issues emanating from the 1/2 bath. Property management was responsive. After a reoccurrence we kept the room closed off. Other than that … wonderful stay. I think I could live on the balcony, wonderful views, very peaceful. Kayaks a real treat.

Great location

This upstairs cottage with a great view of sunrise was very clean and comfortable. We did have to wash the sliders because they were all spotted and we wanted to see the view when inside, all utilities worked and there was adequate hot water for the two of us to shower. The bath could be updated with an exhaust fan although the large window above the bath did open. The back yard could use some TLC to make it easier to get the kayak and paddle boards out to the water.

Amazing Bay view

This place had everything! We used the kayaks and bikes. Plenty of spices and oils for cooking so no need to buy more. Shampoo and Conditioner provided. There is sunscreen and aloe too. Beach towels, beach chairs and umbrellas. Very Quiet! Very roomy. Close to beach- walk there. Trolly will take you to town for anything else. We loved it and will be back! Thank you!
