We loved our stay at Bay Oaks. Tracy was super helpful and very prompt to respond to our questions. My kids loved the dock out back and we enjoyed the pool. The location was perfect as well! We would definitely stay here again!
The condo was very nice and met our needs perfectly. The location was perfect for the proximity to the beach and restaurants. The convince of taking the trolley was better than trying to find parking especially in the village. Would def stay here again if we visit Siesta Key again.
Easy and accommodating. My daughter had a later flight home and the owner was very kind and let her check out later.

Great
Everything posted about the condo was true to the pictures and great complex. We enjoyed our stay extremely and, if available, would rent again. We emailed the owner during our stay with questions and she responded quite quickly.

Thank you Jeanette. I am happy to hear you enjoyed your stay in Siesta Key!
The condo was very comfortable and had everything we needed for our 5 night stay! The only downside was that there was not a beach access path close to the condo.
Everything was great. All beach items were there which saved us from bringing them. Great and easy communication with the owner. We used all the amenities such as the pool, grill, pool table and the dock. Even saw Manatees! Tennis courts were closed though.
Condo unit was clean and convenient. Bed was comfortable and living room well furnished. Internet was super fast and television easy to use with easy ability to sling to from phone and computer for music and apps. Kitchen had plenty of amenities and some surprise supplies as well. Lots of beach gear. Shower had good water pressure. Parking easy and elevator access adequate. Would definitely recommend this unit.
Mold on walls next to shower. Peeling paint next to showers. Holes in dropped ceiling. Both bathrooms need some serious work. On the bright side everything worked. Beach was a nice touch, especially the wagon.

Thank you for bringing these issues to my attention. All of them have been addressed.
We enjoyed having our own washer and dryer in the unit. It was convenient to Crescent Beach. Only one half mile walk. Enjoyed having the laundry rack to dry our bathing suits and towels on the balcony. Even though we did not use them we were impressed that it had umbrellas and other beach gear. It even had golf clubs and pickleball gear. The only thing it didn't have was a fishing rod.

The condo was very roomy. The kitchen was well equipped. The washer is a little small but convenient being inside the unit along with the dryer. There are beach umbrellas and chairs which was fantastic. The landlords are very accommodating. Answered all our questions promptly. When we ask if we should throw away a broken umbrella we found there they immediately replaced it so we had two to use. Above and beyond in my book. The unit was clean. We had plenty of towels and supplies to get us started even though we went to the store on the way. The balcony was a nice extra space to eat dinner or chill in the evening. The pool was nice, good size, and clean. The people we met there were very nice. We had a great time. We would recommend this place and we will most differently re-book this condo in the future. The only complaint was we did not know how to get onto the beach as a lot is private access. We soon found out that we needed to go right out of the parking lot and wa la. There is a beautiful beach access area with plenty of parking, a bath house and concessions, volley ball nets and sand washing stations. There are places to eat in both directions with the beach hub to the left. There are lots of tip only transportation available as well.Call and they come and get you as parking in the hub is limited and its fun for the kids. Thank you for a wonderful week. We will be back.

Liked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy
We have been coming to Siesta Key for many years and also staying at Bay Oaks where this property was located. We love the location and the pool on the property! The condo was okay. It is definitely outdated but seemed to have mostly everything we needed. The smoke alarm was beeping, so I let the host know and she sent replacement batteries within a few days. The whole condo is just really outdated and has a somewhat odd smell but has what you need since you don't stay long inside the condo. Not the most fancy one at Bay Oaks but has the essentials in a good location.
Cons: Upon arrival we had difficulty finding the unit. My husband eventually made the connection of what floor it was on based on the room number. It wasn’t clear in the directions, so I think adding that info would be helpful.The cleaning lady uses VERY strongly scented cleaner. I’m not sure if it was a cleaner or febreeze but it was so intense we had to open the balcony door and blow fresh air into the unit to try to air it out. It never fully went away. Pros: Being in this condo felt like being back in the 90s. It’s so cute and beachy. It was relatively clean and cozy, though I wish there were large rugs in the living room and bedrooms. The host was super easy to communicate with and she took care of any issues we had. If you are going to stay here, download the breeze rider app so that you can ride the buses for free to get to the beach entrances. There is a bus stop right in front of the condo!
Great location to the #1 beach in USA.
Great clean unit. Has every thing you need in the unit and for the beach such as beach chairs, beach cart, umbrellas, water toys, etc.
Great communication!
Great Service!!!
Great host.
Very special thanks to Tracy and the cleaning lady for help us out. We left import documents in the unit. Tracy and her team made sure we got the documents back. She has communicated every step of the way which had us at ease.
She would not even take any reimbursement for the shipping and handling..
What a class act!!!
GREAT TRIP!!!
Beds were super comfy and the condo had EVERYTHING we needed and then some! Older building but so are most of the condos in Seista Key and it was super clean! The pool was better than pools I've been too beach side and the owner was on top of any questions that we had. If we make it back to SK we would definitely stay here again! No complaints 😊
