Bathrooms had hot water issues, even with spaced out showers. Furniture was uncomfortable and didn't accommodate 10 people, pool was dirty for several days. However, it was spacious, close to trolly with beach access and restaurants, had access to deck and outdoor seating area. We especially enjoyed the screened in porch.

We really enjoyed our stay! Nice place! Our family fit well. Just a few critiques...... Master bedroom fan awful! Makes so much noise that we couldn't use it. There are not enough dishes, only 4 bowls.And you have a racoon living under the deck, riverside by the upper screened in porch.But generally we loved the place! Thank you!

While it was a good stay. Heating did not work the entire time, and it was very cold. There were minimal resources only two rolls of toilet paper for 10 people for 4 days. We had people right outside our glass door for most of the night because it was public access.

24 year old still didn't know how to read. There was no issue with the heat had the guest read the property information provided in the guest portal. Booking was for 7 people and they brought 10 college friends. Clearly stated in the rental agreement as well as our arrival emails that only starter consumables are provided. This is private property, there is NO public access.

Great property in a great location

Property was super clean with everything you can possibly need in the kitchen and amenities. We were a party of 4 friends and had plenty of beds and some extra. Everything was clean and well maintained. Quiet and away from the traffic and noise of Siesta Key but close enough to restaurants, bars, and the beach.

Fantastic location and pool!

We stayed here with 4 adults and 2 children. The space was comfortable and location was great! Our 2 year old loved the heated pool. We had a small issue with a small appliance that was resolved very quickly by management! Only complaint was that the floors were quite dirty.

Very Nice Off Beaten Path!

Overall our family enjoyed staying at Heron Lagoon #7. It was perfect for our family to get together for our gathering and family wedding. Quiet and comfortable for our family's needs. Some small things needed to make it more appealing; hooks or places to hang items in the bedrooms, bar stools in the kitchen, full-length mirror, and a real coffee maker would be great. The bird watching was amazing - Bald Eagles, Ospreys, Herons, Pelicans, and so much wildlife! We most certainly would stay there again!

Last minute spring break

The property was nice and the free trolly was very convenient to get to and from the bars and restaurants. We appreciated the stock of coolers and lawn chairs available for use. It would have been nice to have garbage bags available as you have to buy large quantities at the store. All in all our 2 families of 4 enjoyed our stay in house #7!

Everything was great except for the fact that the sliding glass doors to the outside deck didnt have any blinds. We ended up using the roller beds and it wasnt a pleasant sleeping experience knowing that the other guests can look right into our living room. Everything else was good and it was an enjoyable stay, i would just either put blinds up or a one-way glass coating so no one is able to look into the property.

Siesta Heron Unit 7

A group of 6 friends stayed at Siesta Heron Unit 7. We were impressed with the cleanliness of our unit and the pretty view. With a few needed improvements, this unit would be much better for a group of adults. This is advertised as sleeping 8 people. A few necessary improvements are: More coffee mugs More wine glasses Bar stools Better/reliable coffee maker Adequate living room seating and lamps Mirrors in each bedroom More and better quality linens

Quiet vacation rental

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, this was a good vacation rental. I personally would opt to stay right on the beach for a future vacation, but I would recommend this property to a friend. Pros: While not on the beach, the lagoon access was nice. It is far enough away from the busy resorts that it is calm and quiet. Cons: The floors appeared to not have been mopped in quite some time, and the kitchen could have been more stocked with supplies (ex. ours did not have potholders and the salt shaker was empty). I definitely recommend taking the trolly to the public beaches to avoid the hassle of parking.

Thank you for choosing to stay at Siesta Heron 7 which is a beautiful lakefront single family home. Turtle beach is just a 1/2 mile from the property, a short bike ride or free trolly ride. All floors are vacuumed and mopped each time. The current image of the living area with the shinny floors visible was actually taken the day of this guests check-in. It is only shinny because it was still wet from being mopped. There are indeed pot holders, they were above the microwave. Consumable items are not provided in any rental unit per the division of hotels and restaurants regulations.

Loved our stay on Siesta Key

Siesta Key is a lovely little Island to stay on for a family winter getaway. We found it very convenient to Sarasota Bradenton Airport and were able to use Lyft to get to our stay. We didn't need to rent a car, although we did have access to one since some of the family drove from Pennsylvania. There's a trolley that takes visitors up and down the island. Easy access to groceries and restaurants and the beach. We loved our lodging located right on Heron Lake/Lagoon. The pool is right there and made our little kids very happy. We used the kayaks and the bikes. There were beach chairs and towels so we didn't have to bring any of that. The kitchen was sufficiently stocked with equipment for our needs. We had access to a washer and dryer. All in all, it's suited our needs very very well.

Great spot but do not delay 1 minute at the check out! :)

We had a great time with our family and parents that visit us from chile.. the spot was really nice, next to a lake/river, access to SUP, canopy, bikes.. all great.. I recommend to dart here.. I only advice you that you can’t delay any minute at the check out!! .. people are waiting for you to do it before 10 am.. receive an email with a warning of a full day extra fine if we delay after 10 am.. that was a little uncomfortable because we were a group with old age parents and we couldn’t do it right on time.. so we were like running and that makes the end of our vacation a little stressful... anyway siesta key it’s one of my favorite places for n Florida.. you should come!

Thanks for staying. Yes check-out is at 10am as shown in the listing prior to ones booking the property. We have notes here of the guest requesting EARLY check-in. We do not have the luxury of open units to place guests as they arrive depending on if the unit is available or not. Guest book a specific property/unit and they receive that specific property/unit. Because of this, we must begin cleaning and prepping the property/unit at 10am for it to be cleaned, prepped, any maintenance issues tended to, and inspected by 3pm for the following guest. Not vacating the property/unit as requested by 10am only hinders the check-in of the following guest which in turn gives no opportunity for early check-in.

Not a great experience

While the location was great the house did not live up to its hype. The air conditioner was not able to keep up with the heat in the unit. Even when we were gone all day when we returned it was still 78 degrees in the house. The house smelled of mold the floors were not swept, the bathroom rugs were not cleaned we had to wash them ourselves, there was evidence of leaks in the kitchen that were not repaired, the floor had an area in the living room where what I guess was a leak of some sort caused the flooring to bubble. There was 1 smoke detector and it was located in the master bedroom. I would not recommend this property until these repairs are made. One positive the water heater went out on Friday night and was finally repaired on Sunday

The person who wrote this review clearly was not the actual person who stayed at the property. There is no issue with the a/c, when the actual staying guests reported the A/C not working was at the time of check-in. COVID policy is to air out the properties between guests, so while the cleaning team is cleaning the unit all windows and doors are open. Once we had a technician after the memorial day weekend, the unit was at 73 degrees. The bathroom rugs are always washed and we did not see anyone from this unit take any rugs to the laundry facility on the property security cameras. There are multiple smoke detectors as well by code only one has to be present in front of each bedroom door, since both bedroom doors are side-by-side there is one. There are no leaks in the kitchen ceiling whatsoever or mold anywhere in the unit. The water heater did go out during memorial day weekend and was difficult to find any plumbing company to swap it out.

My stay Siesta Heron was anything but cozy and left much to be desired. From the onset, the property did not live up to the expectations set by the glowing reviews and appealing photographs posted online. My concerns are threefold and notably impacted the quality of my stay: an unwelcome pest sighting, inadequate outdoor lighting, and unresponsive hosts. First, the discovery of a cockroach lounging on the sofa upon our arrival was disheartening. It immediately cast a pall over our stay, making us question the cleanliness and overall maintenance of the property. Such an encounter is unacceptable and greatly detracted from the comfort and appeal of the living space, making it difficult to relax and unwind. (Photos were sent to the host as proof). Second, the lack of lighting on the deck was a significant drawback. Evenings on the deck were something we looked forward to based on the description and images provided. However, the complete absence of outdoor lighting rendered the space unusable after sunset. This not only limited our enjoyment of the property but also raised safety concerns. Lastly, the lack of communication from the host was perhaps the most disappointing aspect of our experience. Despite reaching out to them during our stay to address these concerns, we received no response. This lack of engagement and customer service is inexcusable and left us feeling neglected and frustrated. In conclusion, this stay was far from the relaxing retreat we had anticipated, m

Overall a disappointment …

Negatives: Missing 1 smoke detector and wine/cocktail glasses Damaged ironing board cover Greasy cooking utensils Oven baking trays were burned/stained/greasy in spots The table place mats were worn/grease stained The property is listed as 3 bedrooms but only one has a closet. Master bedroom had no hanging or storage space The plank flooring in the main area is worn out. The floor has deep gouges/scratches and is bubbling up and flexes up and down and has been nailed down in spots The sliding patio door to deck was “ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE ” to open/close/ lock due to worn track and rollers. ( Waited 10 days to get the door repaired.) Repairman said the door was in this condition for a long time Deck outside patio door is covered with rotten boards with numerous nails/screw heads poking up to rip bare feet or trip someone Suggestions for the future… The unit needs major refreshing Better cleaning (The cleaning crew left the property with cobwebs on the walls. Dead bugs entangled in the webs/or on the window sills The walls in the main living area or worn, scuffed and stained and sorely in need of a fresh coat of paint The plank floor needs to be replaced The deck needs to be resurfaced…Dangerous in its present condition The property needs to be inspected periodically to prevent future issues In summary we did not get the value that would be expected for the premium price paid. The property needs to be brought up to standards to match asking price.
