Amazing experience! 18s is a beautiful unit and made the vacation beautiful.
Perfect views of the ocean. Wish there was a washer and dryer in the actual unit instead of having to walk to the front of the property but we weren't there long enough to care than much. Elevator broke on our 3rd day there and we were on the 5th floor but was fixed by the end of the day so that was helpful.
The place is really nice, good location, clean rooms, well equipped kitchen, and the view is the best! The overall experience is awesome!

Family oriented resort. Clean and welcoming rental space, beach, and pool. Breathtaking view of the beach/ ocean. The community grills make cooking easy. My family has been coming to the Island House for many years. This was my grandson’s first vacation. He loved it! We will continue to come back. Our spot makes vacationing easy, comfortable, and fun.

Perfect place to stay.
We have been going to Siesta Key for 25 years and have probably stayed at 7 or 8 different condominiums. All of them have been very nice, but this one is without a doubt our favorite. Great location. Great beach. Very friendly people and not too crowded. The sleep sofas were a little uncomfortable to sleep on, but that's ok, as we didn't really go there to sleep. I would highly recommend.

We vacation from the U.K. and have been coming to the USA for about 30 years.We have been staying nearly every year on Siesta Key and at Island house for the last 10 years. This resort complex is on the best part of the beach and the apartments have a brilliant view.So we would highly recommend Island House for your stay.

It was our first time staying with Island House Beach Resort and it was fantastic! We are already booked for next year! The view from our room was spectacular! It was nice being able to wake up and go for our morning walk, right on the beach! The place was much larger than places we have stayed in at other locations. It was clean and had everything we needed to function for the week, pots and pans, coffee maker, glasses, knives, forks, spoons. We stopped at Publix just up the street before we got there to pick up food for the week. It all worked out well.It was easy to get to the shuttle stop (right in front of the resort) and go to shops and restaurants at Siesta Key Village. We enjoyed the experience and are looking forward to next year’s vacation at Island House Beach Resort. Thank you to the crew at the front desk for answering all of our questions.

Reviewer Comments:
This was our second trip to Island House. There is no beach better than the powdery soft sand at Siesta Key. We walked this beach every day. You can have beach bicycles delivered to your parking area by Siesta bike rental to ride on the beach. We kayaked at Turtle bay in a quiet, peaceful nature preserve. The two person kayak was great. This unit was beautiful as pictured with nice layout, large kitchen with everything we needed and breathtaking views of beach and sunsets right from the living room and sun room on top floor. Comfortable king bed and a pullout sofa bed could be partitioned off behind living room. It’s a quiet area and nice heated pool and rec room there also. You can get free shuttles to other places on the key like Siesta Village and Turtle Beach areas. Our favorite restaurants were Big Water Fish market, geckos sports bar just across Old Stickney bridge by Best Western with great food, Turtle beach grill was nice outdoor lunch spot and The Hub in the village was great as well. Off the Key, Walt’s fish market and Der Dutchman for home cooked Amish food. Millie’s was just up Clark st and has wonderful breakfast menu. Publix grocery store was just across the bridge also. Crescent Beach grocery had a nice deli and make sandwiches to order.

My wife and I had 2 wonderful weeks relaxing at the beach. Despite a few "scars" remaining from Ian, the Island house property was in great shape and we experienced a seamless stay. The weather was great so we could enjoy the beautiful view from our dinning area and the sun and sunsets at our leisure. The local restaurants were great and uncrowded- especially enjoyed Sardinia a hidden gem

It was great, as usual. Three weeks after Hurricane Ian hit and we were afraid that things would be out of sorts but there was only a minor parking inconvenience. The apartment was outstanding and had great views. The only down side was that the cookware in the apartment was below average, but that could be a result of many things and did not detract from us enjoying our stay.

We had a wonderful time in May 2022. The condo being right on the beach was the best part. Very comfortable and very clean! Loved that view! It was nice to have some little things provided, like the outdoor grills, tables, pool, even had a coffee pot, filters, towels and the necessities. Plenty of room for us two and it had a bonus room in case we had other guests. Will definitely stay again!

We have stayed at Island House for 25 years, in different units, each of them beautiful in their own way!! This was our 1st in 18s & we couldnt have been happier! The place was beautifully decorated, kitchen well equipped & bed very comfortable. Check-in & check-out are always a breeze. We enjoyed so much, that we will be returning next year!!
A clean unit with all the necessary basics. The winning feature is the view and how quiet the resort is despite all the craziness of SK.
We look forward to returning

We have stayed at Island House for 9 years ( minus one pandemic year). The view, the beach, the tenants, the management, the condos have always been OUTSTANDING! And we have high standards! Looking forward to 2023 already!
Everything was amazing from the room to the spectacular views. My only complaints were the cleanliness of the restrooms around the toilets and sand in kitchen area floors.

Very impressed with the unit. Clean, modern, well maintained and very spacious! Beautiful ocean view. Easy and short walk to the beach! A lot of restaurant options nearby and Siesta Key Village is minutes away with charming shops and a lot of restaurant options - it looked magical in the evening with lights all around and live music throughout. Easy check-in/check-out using the app and staff at front desk was kind and helpful in answering our questions. Will definitely return!

Reviewer Comments:
Reservation, check in and out was really easy and organized. The condo is perfectly clean with an absolutely breathtaking view. The kitchen is well equipped, master bed room very comfortable bed and the rest of the place is wellmaintained and nice decor. Where the sofa bed is located to be able to convert the space in another room is great but it would have been nice to have a real mattress to be able to sleep! We requested an extra padding or something to help our son sleep to the office but we didn’t get any positive answer, so we ended up buying a foam mattress, which we left it at the condo to help for future guests. For light sleepers, the air conditioner from the condo below us was really loud, making difficult to sleep (it could be the way the buildings are build and the way each condo is located, making this noise in all of them?). Unfortunately the beach wasn’t as beautiful as always, due to the “Red Tide” making it impossible to get in the water and enjoy the beach. We would for sure recommend this place and will be back for next holiday.

The condo was really nice and the view was spectacular. Would highly recommend it.
We loved this Condo on Siesta Key and loved Siesta Key. We will be staying here again. It was the perfect location for us. It was perfectly decorated and the bed and furniture were very comfortable considering it is a rental. The view of the ocean and beach having breakfast in the morning was so relaxing. The sunsets were beautiful but my favorite was the soft, sugar sand. I can't wait to return.
