Not sure why others complained about mold and the smell of cigarettes. The furnishings were high quality "Tommy Bahama" style just like the pictures. Not the typical "beachy" look of today. You can tell several improvements have been made over the yeas (granite counters, brand new HVAC system, etc). Dan mentioned a major updating is in the works.
We got to watch joggers and cyclists while enjoying morning coffee on the screened-in balcony. Proximity to the best beach on Siesta Key was icing on the cake. We watched others relentlessly circling the huge parking lot across the street in search of a parking space. We enjoyed the freedom of being able to come and go to the beach without having to worry about finding a parking space.
Would definitely stay here again, especially when the unit is updated.
