Thanks for staying with us Jenna! The public beach access is about a 12 minute walk. Its an easy walk, just straight down Midnight Pass Road. The trolley is available if guests don't want to walk. We appreciate your feedback and hope to host you in the future! Thank you, Anh, iTrip Sarasota and Venice

Great location and the townhouse had great space! The two bedrooms each had their own bath, and there was also a half bath on the main level. We enjoyed the three outside deck areas and the pool was close to the unit.

Our stay at this Siesta Key condo was everything we hoped for and more. The location alone makes it a standout—just a short walk to the powder‑soft white sand that Siesta Key is famous for. We loved being close enough to enjoy the beach daily while still having a peaceful, private place to unwind. The condo itself was spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully furnished. The kitchen had everything we needed for meals at home, and the living space felt bright and inviting. We especially appreciated the balcony, perfect for morning coffee or relaxing after a day in the sun. The amenities were a huge bonus. The pool area was clean and never overcrowded, and parking was easy. The host was responsive, friendly, and made check‑in a breeze.Overall, this condo made our Siesta Key trip unforgettable. We’d happily stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing, well‑kept place in a perfect location.

This condo was great, it has the intercoastal in the back of the complex and the ocean is basically across the street. Loved that both bedrooms had their own bathroom and a half bathroom on the mail floor. Lots of room. Loved that it had a washer and dryer in the condo. Loved all three of the balconies in this condo. The pool is basically right outside the door and down the stairs. We love that Siesta Key has its own trolley and bus system, so no need to drive your car if you don't want to, which is very convenient for everyone. Absolutely beautiful Condo, Island and a white powder sand beach, all amazing! We will definitely be back!!
