Perfect location

The condo was located on the Bay side and only a few minutes to walk to the private beach on the ocean side. It was very clean and the people were very friendly. It was quiet, peaceful and so relaxing! I highly recommend staying here and hope to return again next year!

Unfortunately the weather was terrible, very cold and raining. However, we did use the trolley and enjoyed the restaurants on Midnight Pass. The condo was very clean, great hot water and good location.

Loved it!!!

Joe was a great host! The unit was clean and cozy and had everything we needed. Including beach chairs, beach towels, sun screen and a cute note and chocolates to greet us. The beach is just a short walk across the street. We also loved the pool on the bay. We saw dolphins swimming there every morning when we walked down with our coffee to watch the sunrise and enjoyed dinner there as well. The self service grills are really nice. Peggie sue keeps the pool sparkling clean and at a perfect temp. We also really enjoyed being able to get on the trolley or frog hop right out front.. I definitely recommend! We will be back!

Great location!

100% loved everything about this stay... Water views, right on the trolley line going everywhere. The VRBO rental was stocked with more than enough, towels, dishes, beach chairs, right down to a cooler. Would highly recommend.. The only thing I could say was a negative would be the pool has no view.. Other than that.. It's perfect!

February sunshine

We had a lovely time at Sea Club condo. The first floor made it easy access. The pool was under reconstruction so not available this stay. But it looks to be very nice with water views and shade. The king size bed was very comfortable. The walking beach access was also close by. Very centrally located!

New Years

This is a great little property. Nice studio condo (no door on the bedroom). Well stocked from kitchen to beach gear to towels. You do have access to the gulf side beach. The onsite property is excellent! Nice heated pool with tables and loungers. A grassy area with more chairs. A pier out into the channel for fishing or good viewing. There is a bocce ball court as well, but bring your own balls. Trolley easily gets you up and down the key. A nice stay at this price point. Host is very responsive as well. If you go over New Years, make sure you go to the beach on the gulf side. People were setting off fireworks starting at about 8pm and continued through midnight.

Great place for small family vacation

We stayed for the week of Thanksgiving and absolutely enjoyed it. We had two adults and two kids (ages 5 and 6). The king bed was comfortable for adults and the sofa couch was perfect for the kids. The kitchen was fully stocked with every appliance needed, plenty of dishes and glasses. We brought fishing poles and bought shrimp at the local bait shop and fished off the dock on the back of the property. We caught a lot of fish and the kids were thrilled. When we weren't fishing or eating Thanksgiving dinner, we were at the beach. The beach is across the street so it was very helpful that a cart was provided to haul down chairs and a cooler for drinks. The cottage is everything a couple or a small family needs for a fun, relaxing beach vacation. Joe was friendly and easy to communicate with before we arrived and did a great job of checking in via text message to make sure everything was ok while we were staying. We will definitely return to Siesta Key and rent from Joe again.

disappointing

While the location is nice, the community is not what we expected. I mistakenly went into the community next door and then realizing my error had to drive in to this one...a gravely driveway to the unit. the unit at least was clean however...not as expected. No dishwasher, incredibly small bathroom...you cannot move without closing the door. The unit itself is very small and the bed was the worst...you could not move even slightly without noise...very disturbing. I know now why someone else wrote what they wrote about the the bed...worst bed ever...the owner needs to replace it. We noticed in the guest book that a page was ripped out..probably not a good review...we did not bother to write one knowing it would be removed. We rented this at the very last minute, now we know why it was available...we would not stay here again.
