Two summers spent here a week each time. The condo is fabulous, spacious and clean. The kitchen is well stocked as are the linens. The beds are comfortable. The resort is well maintained, clean and plenty of grills for barbecuing. Having the beach side lounge chair service available is quite nice. Less to carry down to the beach. Siesta key village, restaurants and ice cream are all nearby. It’s. Great location and it’s clear why siesta is voted best beach.

If you visiting Sarasota with family or friends, this place is the perfect location. Safe place to stay, Closed to the beach, nice pools, and parking available to guest. The office and security were very accommodating! In the premises, there is laundry in ever floor but must get preloaded card from office, nice gym, and the apartment was well maintained by the owner. We stayed in the Tower and had a nice view to the sea. Will definitely return to this location.

This place was amazing! There are multiple units to rent in multiple buildings. There are a couple of pools on property, and there is easy access to the beach. They do have chairs and loungers to use on the beach. They also have umbrellas available to rent . Very friendly and accommodating staff. The units are fully furnished and spacious. You do have to bring your own beach towels, but the units are stocked with face, hand, and bath towels.

We had an amazing stay ! We were in the W building. Our condo was a two bedroom two bath. It was very clean. Everything was up-to-date and the view was amazing! The beach was spectacular with chairs provided. We had a wonderful time at the pool. We used the free ride to get around which was super handy! We never waited more than 10 minutes for a ride. We can’t wait to return!

Wonderful place, very clean, friendly service and right on the beach. We were in y-508 which has been recently renovated. Beautifully decorated and very clean. The beds however were extremely firm-to the point of not being comfortable. Mattress pads would be helpful.

We had a lovely time here! Booking was a breeze with the help of their staff. The room was super clean. Facilities were exactly what I expected. Being on the beach was amazing. And the staff on the beach that sets up chairs and umbrellas were really helpful. We will be back!

Huge condo complex sitting directly on the beach. The office staff is very friendly and helpful. You don't have to rent a full week which can be helpful for trip planning. The property is lush and well kept. Pools, pickle ball, and a grilling area by the beach.
