Perfect villa

Our family enjoyed this sweet villa and its quiet neighborhood. It was the perfect place of respite for our busy family. It had plenty of space, amenities inside and out (the community pool was steps away, perfectly situated in a quiet spot ). The beach is beautiful with many shops within walking distance.

Not recommended

This property is well landscaped and central but no Beach access is a definite problem. The unit was clean when we arrived but For many reasons i would definitely not recommend this unit until the owner updates several times. Pay attention to Queen bed not King; one television only as we were told the 2nd one broke a couple weeks ago...not good for 4 people of varied interests, ants in kitchen, rusty terrible bicycles; had to have bbq replaced, door lock is a joke, coffee cups and kitchen items 30 years old, ice machine in fridge broken, and so on it goes. Manager did a nice job with bringing simple necessities when requested that for some reason weren’t in the unit. Pool area ok but smallish and water a little cold; but Intercoastal dock very nice. Would never choose this again.

Wonderful Siesta Key Getaway

This unit was perfect for us. The unit was above grade on cleanliness and is updated across the board. The kitchen, bathrooms, and common areas had it all. We brought our golf cart with trailer. The driveway had enough space for it all. The management group was responsive for any questions and needs. Even the neighbors were friendly and helpful. You should have zero reservations about staying here. Thank you for a wonderful week.

Quiet and Pleasant

We liked the house's homey style, and its size was perfect for 3 of us. The neighbors were quiet and pleasant. Loved the location! Even though it's not within walking distance to the beach (because of the condos across the street), it's real close to everything & feels like you're right in the thick of everything, yet in a quiet alcove that is slightly removed from the noise & traffic.

Siesta Key

Hello, Loretta was wonderful person and company for our mini vacation. We enjoyed our stay at Polynesian Gardens on Siesta Key. Beautiful lush landscape. We loved walking to the pier and watching the birds and the boats. The home was clean and good size. Lovely lania and backyard. Everyone was friendly, pool perfect! Being by the gulf water is so..relaxing! We would stay there again Sincerely, Kathleen

A gem for beach lovers!

This place is a gem for beach lovers. It is perfectly designed for the needs of a family of four. Check-in was seamless. The place was exactly as described - charming. You will love your time at Loretta's place if you are looking for a truly relaxing beach getaway. We used her beach chairs every day. Our kids loved the entertainment options. We went to four different beaches (Siesta Key Beach, Turtle Beach, Crescent Beach, Lido Key Beach) during our time here and every one of them felt like the best beach. Siesta Key beach is full of life. We witnessed the Drum Circle in action on the Sunday we arrived and it was an awesome welcome party. The public beach access 12 to Crescent Beach is about 0.5 miles away from Loretta's place so we walked approximately 11 minutes to this beach. This was a home away from home for us.
