My husband and I spent a little over a week at Palm Shade Cottage while celebrating our 26th wedding anniversary, and it was absolutely perfect. We were welcomed with a bottle of red wine and delicious cupcakes, which was such a thoughtful touch.The cottage offered much more space and comfort than a hotel room. The master bedroom was spacious, the bed was very comfortable, and the two full bathrooms made getting ready easy. We also appreciated having a washer and dryer available.The living room was cozy and inviting, and while we didn't use the kitchen much, it was well stocked and convenient. We especially appreciated finding cold packs in the freezer for our beach outings.The cottage provided everything needed for the beach, including chairs, towels, coolers, and a cart. The beach was just a short walk away, and Beach Access #11 worked best for us.The location was ideal, with easy access to the Village by foot or Frog Hop. The walk was pleasant and a great way to get familiar with the neighborhood.From booking through checkout, the entire process was seamless. The Cottage on the Key team was responsive, helpful, and quick to address the one issue we had with the washing machine, resolving it within hours.We highly recommend Palm Shade Cottage and The Cottage on the Key to anyone looking for a cozy, comfortable, and convenient stay on Siesta Key.
