About this property

Over 180 Degree View of the Siesta Key Beach and Gulf!!! Crystal Sands Tower

Location, view & value. This is the best location, the best value, and absolutely the most stunning view in Siesta Key. There’s even a nice view of Sarasota Bay and the mainland from your kitchen window. Views galore from every room (except for 1 closet).

This 11th floor condo has both panoramic views of the Gulf of Mexico and the beach that was voted #1 in America in 2011 all at a great price. (Photos are not distorted or touched-up. These are the actual views!) What you see is what you get. You get all the privacy and comfort and serenity that you desire. The 2 bedroom 2 bath split plan provides privacy for multi-generational family vacations or is ideal for 2 couples. The lanai runs the full length of the gulf side of the condo with access from both bedrooms and the living room. View mesmerizing sunsets in total privacy. Only the pelicans flying by can see you.

Condo amenities include: Leather furniture; flat screen TVs with DVD player and cable service; internet access; free local and long distance calling throughout the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico; bed linens and towels; and cookware and dishes. Each condo has an assigned parking spot. Basic supplies are provided for guests so you don’t have to rush out to shop. Come as you are and just sit back and enjoy the beach.

The Crystal Sands condominium community has 2 pools nestled among beautiful lush tropical landscaping. There are 2 separate banks of elevators. The glass elevator offers impressive views of Siesta Key, Sarasota, and the bay. Beach chairs and loungers are provided by the condo association and cabanas are available for rent.

There are beach activities galore ranging from lazing in the sun or sauntering along the white sandy beach to jet skiing or parasailing and everything in between. The newly remodeled Public Beach area has new tennis courts, picnic areas, playgrounds, plus many more features.

Can’t say enough about our stay Thanksgiving week. Unit was well stocked in the kitchen plus a great welcome basket of snacks. A whole closet full of beach stuff in like new condition. Furnished nicely with beds you can actually sleep on. Carpet looks like new, new sliding glass doors that opened to the porch with amazing views. And the plus was the unit was immaculately clean with plenty of fresh linens. I can honestly say it was the best experience we have ever had with Vrbo!!! Thank you Vickie, Abe and Jason. :)

This condo was amazing. The hosts were easy to communicate with and answered any questions in a timely manner. They went above and beyond on the amenities they provided: fresh fruit, snacks, bottled water, toiletries and a fully stocked closet full of beach toys and beach umbrella. The balcony is huge and has the most amazing views. My only suggestion for the condo is the king bed is a bit hard and a foam topper may be a nice fix for that. The location of this condo is perfect. With its own private beach it is not crowded, yet you have miles of beach to walk. All though they recommend having a car, we did not have one, the Siesta Breeze free public transportation stop is at the front of the condo. We also used trolleys that work for tips to get around the island. I would definitely stay here again.

Beach Sanctuary

Walked into the door and we were awed by the view of the gulf, sand and surf. We were also surprised by beautiful flowers, the array of snacks and beautiful fruit basket. The condo was generously stocked with everything we needed from utensils, appliances to bath and beach towels. The balcony was a perfect place to enjoy a drink after a relaxing day at the beach while we watched spectacular sunsets. Great location, best Siesta Key stay we’ve ever had.

Perfect location!

Very clean and the location is absolutely perfect- owners were amazing! Left us fresh fruit and an abundance of snacks and goodies, coffee, water, paper plates, etc..plus extra toiletries in case something was needed! Again the view was indescribable- just postcard gorgeous! We have stayed at many places on the key and this location blows them all off the beach!! Bathrooms are dated as is kitchen but in fine working order and when or if your actually in the condo you won’t want to leave the lanai so not a concern!!

We loved the basic property and location. Many of the basic necessities were provided which was much appreciated. We think the master and guest bedrooms (walk-in shower) should be reversed. The bathrooms need to be updated.
