This condo is awesome! Spacious, clean, newly renovated, well furnished and located. Comfortable beds. We stayed 9 nights, and it started to feel like home very quickly! Parking for this unit is close, and covered. Keeps the car cool, and dry if you happen to run into rain. Also very good access to the beach, pool, and clubhouse (where there is coffee!) No need for using an elevator. The pool is big and the water is warm. Our stay was at the start of August so it wasn't crowded, always plenty of chairs at the pool and beach. The lanai is enclosed, which is nice in summer. Nice view of the pool and courtyard but palm trees obscure the Gulf view since it's 2nd floor. We didn't mind, the Gulf is just steps away! The sand on this beach is amazing, it really does stay cool enough to walk barefoot even in the hottest weather!! Siesta Key is very quiet and relaxed. No restaurants/clubs or lots of commercial activity, just beautiful private beach with the condos. There is a large deck that is perfect for watching the sunset. Sunday night there is a drum circle at the public beach, and you can walk there from the condo. We highly recommend the drum circle, people watching at it's best! Plenty of shopping & dining close by at the Village, but you will want a car or Johnny Ride for that. You will need a car if you want to shop at Publix. The owner is very nice, with quick email & phone responses and gave us some great tips on dining. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Siesta Dunes!
