Overall, it was a nice stay. The view from the Lanai is unparalleled and the bed in master is really comfortable. As we are frequent visitors to Siesta Key, we often compare the condos to others on our past visits over the last 20 years. So, keep that in mind as you read on!
Again - View is stellar. Open air opportunity with impeccable sight line to sunsets. Layout of condo is great and comfy beds. Nice shower.
What was different for us was it had more "hotel like" amenities in the room. For example, bath towels were rough. No beach towels (they did say that in advance... But traveling by plane makes it difficult to pack them. So, it was an expensive add on for the family). The pantry area is reserved as an owners closet so once we bought groceries there was nowhere to put them. Typically at our stay in other places along the beach, some basic kitchen supplies were provided (salt, pepper, coffee filters, etc.). With this unit, we had to purchase everything for the week.
There is a security guard by the pool and they actively look for wristbands. Again, not a bad thing at all. Just different from other places along the beach.
The beach chairs are locked up every night and placed back on beach the next morning. I did have to call down to office one day to ask if they would be unlocked at 10:30am.
The pool area is very clean and so are the restrooms. There are plenty of showers nearby too, which is nice. It definitely gets crowded and stays crowded most of the day.
You can tell it's an older property but they take care of it.
Kolby at the check in was fantastic. Very friendly and fun to talk to.
