My husband, 11 year old daughter and I spent a week here. From the moment we walked in and saw the fabulous modern decor, we were in love! Myself being an artist and my favorite color being "the ocean blues", I was in heaven here. Every detail was very thought out and all of the basic kitchen/bathroom/bedroom supplies were covered beautifully. There were extra supplies in the closets and the coin operated laundry room, one floor up (elevator 3 steps away) worked well, so no need to over pack. The condo was very fresh and clean. Everything worked well and properly. All that we needed were our groceries for the week (and a few toiletries & paper products.) The screened in porch faces the road and gorgeous sunsets. There are comfortable wicker chairs and end table there, along with some beach chairs to use. The location of this condo could not be more perfect...it is DIRECTLY across from the main entrance to Siesta Key Beach. We also must agree with the rest of the visitors who have voted this the BEST beach in the USA! The sand is to die for! The cleanliness is top notch, with a concession stand, bathrooms/showers and gift shop with any beach supplies that you may need. Every Sunday at 5:00 there is a drum circle that gathers on the beach, which is interesting to watch & listen to. You can catch a free Trolley right outside of the condo, which drives by about every half hour until 9:00pm. Other free rides are available, but expect to tip well. Siesta Key Village is beautiful and fun, many restaurants/bars and great shopping (including a full grocery store.) If you like Rum, try the locally made Siesta Key "Toasted Coconut Rum"...yum! Five Star Pizza gets your order to you faster than any other pizza joint that we have ever used. As far as our experience with the owner and La Siesta crew, they were all SUPER to deal with from the get go. We arrived late and the obtaining the key process was a breeze. Make sure the staff has your cell phone number. Rosa was especially helpful and answered all of my many questions. The grounds are well kept and the pool is very clean and heated, which was nice for us, as we were there on a chilly week (mid January.) My family and I would highly recommend this specific condo and hope to re-visit it again someday soon!
P.S. The ONLY thing that bothered our child a bit was that we could hear the people above us as they pulled their chairs in and out (if you are sensitive to that type of thing)
