The location is great for this condo - splits the difference between crescent beach/stickney point and the Siesta Village. The beach is less than 1 mile, with public parking and maintained public bathrooms and cafe. All the “gear” you need for the beach, even with kids, is provided. This was so helpful! It is so easy to get around Siesta with the Trolley stop right outside this condo. It is located on a busy street, and can be a bit noisy at times but it never bothered us. Grills, outdoor patio area and pool access on premise - all great! The kiddie pool was a big hit for families with young children. Everyone was very friendly. The sidewalk path around the building is lit at night for evening walks away from busy traffic. And, of course, the beautiful harbor sunrises right in your backyard! We had to utilize the phone number provided to contact property management a few times, at check in and for a couple of general questions, but ultimately they were able to address our needs. We ended up paying for laundry for efficiency reasons. Overall, this vaca was more than we wanted to pay but it was worth it to experience all Siesta has to offer from this prime location! Would stay again!!
