Great stay!

We had a wonderful time on Siesta Key! I loved how close we were to the beach. Walking distance to restaurants and shopping and they don't require you to clean before you leave which was super nice with an early flight. Parking is great too. Beds are comfy.

So close to the beach and the place was clean and adorable! I loved that the linens were supplied.

We had an amazing stay! The place was immaculate, and with linens supplied, we literally dropped our bags and went to the beach. Love the island, so many shops and restaurants! Truly wish we could stay forever.

Heather Siesta is always the best part of the trip. Next time you come bring your friends from St Pete. We get a ton of guests from there in the summer (a 77 degree winter day is too cold for them:)).

Quiet and so close to the beach!

We loved this place and felt right at home. It was a perfect homebase during a soccer tournament. It is easy to access and the proximity to the beach was awesome. We would definitely stay here again!
