Solid choice

As advertised. Would definitely stay here again. It isn’t fancy but it’s clean and comfortable. Walls are thin so you’ll hear the neighbors, but people were respectful and mostly quiet (just kid noises). Very short path to beach, no shoes necessary. Good layout, nice deck to sit on, well outfitted kitchen, good sized common area, clean and free laundry. Nice beach towels, chairs and umbrellas. Very responsive mgmt—asked for new ice trays and voila! Hope to have a chance to return soon!

Beautiful Location

The location was priceless- you couldn't ask for more convenient beach access! We enjoyed the common downstairs space that allowed us to grill out and swing in the hammocks.

Sweet property in Siesta Key

Really enjoyed our short stay in this little slice of heaven. This property offered everything we needed….it was clean, comfortable, lots of space, both indoors and outdoors. It was only steps away from a beautiful beach and conveniently located within walking distance to restaurants and shops. Dan the owner was very friendly and quick to respond. Loved staying here!

Quiet place close to beach!

The unit was very well kept. We all fit in just right and my son had fun in the bunk beds. It was a quick and easy walk to the beach, nestled in a quiet corner. The extra amenities on site were wonderful (outdoor shower/hang out area).

Colorful & Relaxing

Off the beaten path, but located just across a sandy street to the beach. Affordable, spacious, and without a vehicle, we were able to hop on the free public transportation trolley into the Village each day.
