This rental was absolutely perfect. We stayed three nights here. It was an easy one block walk to Siesta Beach. The hostess offers use of beach chairs and umbrellas and there's also an easy rental on the beach as well if you don't feel like carrying your stuff. It's a pleasant walk into town for all the bars/restaurants, or it's a five minute drive or free ride on the Frog Hopper. The bed was one of the most comfortable I've ever slept in. The washer and dryer work great. Communication with the hostess was easy and friendly. The pool is beautiful, we spent some time relaxing in it after a day biking on the Legacy Trail which is just about five miles off of the key. I highly recommend this place.

Perfect stay for our Babymoon!

My husband and I loved our stay at the Hideaway Suite. It was clean, and just the right amount of space for us. Perfectly located close to town and a short walk to the beach, on a not very crowded section of beach. The pool was great for a dip, although it was shared we were able to spend time in it just ourselves at some points.

Thank you Craig for wring a review. I had to laugh because you wrote "basement" apartment and you meant "ground floor" apartment.
