The Palm Bay Club is a very nice, quiet, and well maintained condo resort, and it is only a few minutes walk to their beach access on a private road.
The condo was immaculate and very bright. The screened patio did not offer much of a view, but we were spared of flying insects. The AC worked amazing. There were some very hot days on our stay and it kept up like a champ.
The sand is exactly as others have described, it never gets hot, and is easy to walk and play in. The water was very clear with the exception of some seaweed that stayed near the shoreline following a heavy rain. There are even beach chairs and loungers available that their staff will bring out to you. They are first-come first-serve, but we were always able to get some regardless of when we went out.
Siesta Key Village and Crescent Beach both offer many local shops and restaurants to sample, and all of them are easily accessible with the SCAT trolley service (free to ride but itâs nice to tip). You can also rent bikes from several local shops to get around the key at very reasonable prices. The key is not commercialized at all which is a nice change of pace from where we typically stay.
The only issue we experienced was we briefly got stuck in the elevator, but it resolved itself, and we notified maintenance of the issue, so I am sure it was addressed.
We will definitely return.
Thanks for everything!
