A vacation to remember!

Laurie-Anne R. (Montreal, Quebec, Canada)
Review submitted: October 6, 2009   Date of arrival: August 15, 2009

This was our first experience at renting a condo online. It could not have gone any smoother. First of all the condo was even better than expected. It had all the amenities of home except for the gorgeous view of the ocean and the white sand of the beach. The owner has decorated this property with much care and the ocean theme throughout the house is very tasteful and comfortable.

I can't tell you how much we enjoyed the white-powdered beach and the gorgeous sunsets that are not to be missed. We drove a little further to a spot to go snorkeling just a little way up the road. The birds in that area are beautiful too and there was a great selection of fish to see. Someone even saw a manatee!

I recommend this condo and the area of Siesta Key. We were there in August and it is a bit hot at that time of year, however I can only imagine what a wonderful getaway it would be in March at school break or even during the Christmas holidays. Our family trip was one that we will remember forever.

We used the barbecue almost every night. There is a grocery store about 10 minutes away or a smaller one even closer. Another time we will explore the area even more.

Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us!

Great condo

yiayia (Fairborn, Ohio)
Review submitted: March 5, 2013   Date of arrival: February 9, 2013

A friend and I had our annual get together at Siesta Key. The condo was perfect; we have no complaints. The lanai was great for our morning coffee and watching the sunset at night. I was concerned about the beach being across the street, but it was no problem at all. It was very convenient to get to the beach. We were surprised at how quiet the condo was. I would definitely recommend this condo and hope to return again.

Siesta Key condo

Boyd (Mead, Ok, USA)
Review submitted: January 21, 2013   Date of arrival: January 2, 2013

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in your condo! The unit was beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed. We arrived after dark, and when we opened the shades the next morning, the view just left us speechless. The picture in the ad does not do it justice. Every morning we could not wait to open the shades again and stare at the beautiful Gulf and the white sand beach. In the evenings, the sunset was almost always fabulous. The colors were like picture postcards. Being across the street from the beach was a big plus. The weather also cooperated, with 14 of the 16 days being fantastic.

During the time we were there, we enjoyed burgers at the Daquari Deck, seafood at Captain Curt’s, Turtles, and Lobster Pot, and for good home cooking you can’t beat Der Dutchman’s on the mainland.

Thank you for sharing your condo with us. We loved the it very much, and hope to return next January to enjoy it again.

A great condo in a great location

Jenni (United Kingdom)
Review submitted: September 27, 2012   Date of arrival: September 19, 2012

This condo is lovely, decor really nice, very clean, quiet, very well equipped and a great location. To be able to walk over the road to the beach was fantastic and in the evening the walk into Siesta Key village was about 10 minutes, although we sometimes got the free ride back if we were feeling lazy. We had the pleasure of meeting Ed and Brenda who are a lovely couple. We will definitely be booking again! Jenni & Chris, London, U.K.

We had a wonderful vacation on our first visit to Siesta Key. The condo was just as advertised. It was very clean and stocked with everything needed to give the feeling of being home away from home. It offers a cheerful atmosphere adding to the good feelings of being on vacation. The owner was great to work with attending to every detail before and after our stay. The on-site manager was also very accommodating. The location could not be better! The beach deserves its number one rating!!

Brenda and Ed thank you very much for sharing your beautiful home with us. Your home is beautifully decorated with considerable thought given to making our visit very comfortable. We found your home very clean with all the conveniences of our own home.

The ocean view from your home is gorgeous from sunrise to sunset. The easy access to the beach is a great plus including all the beach items you provide. I must say you thought of everything we could possible want or need to make our stay comfortable and memorable.

My husband & I have visited Siesta Key for the last 25 years and this visit was the most memorable for us.
Thank you,

A perfect place in a perfect location

Review submitted: September 26, 2011   Date of arrival: September 9, 2011

We had a unforgettable stay in this wonderful spacious condo.
Everything you need is on its place. Clean and perfectly equipped for a holiday at one of the most beautiful beaches we had ever seen. Everything for your stay at the beach is in place.
When having breakfast, we had the beach in direct view. Perfect equipped kitchen for all needs.
The tiny town is reachable by feet in 10 minutes and all shops you need for your hand-to-mouth-buying is just around the corner.

Thank you Brenda and Ed and thank you John for answering all questions and making our booking so easy.

We will come back as soon as possible

Honeymoon Getaway

Review submitted: August 11, 2011   Date of arrival: July 17, 2011

Brenda & Ed-
Your condo was beautiful! It was very crisp and clean and offered us many comforts. We arrived Sunday night, after getting married and having our reception the night before, Saturday! We were exhausted and it was so nice to arrive to a treat of pastries left in the fridge for us- very thoughtful! We made breakfast every morning and looked out at the beach as we ate from the lanai. We even got to see a small, intimate wedding taking place on the beach , that we watched from our window one evening! We loved utilizing the beach chairs and cooler from your storage closet! We would pack up the cooler every day and spend the day on the beach enjoying the cool white sand, and clear warm water, and the beautiful sun rays. The condo is so close to Siesta Village and we would usually go there each evening for dinner and the nightlife. There was a convenient little "6-seater golf cart thing" called "The Green Hopper", which would come pick us up directly at the condo and give us a free ride to Siesta Village. Your condo and it's beautiful decor, along with all the comforts of home allowed us a very relaxing honeymoon filled with many beautiful memories. We will always remember our honeymoon and where our lives as newlyweds began. It was perfect! Thank you for sharing your condo with the new Mr & Mrs Bailey!

Brenda & Ed - we thank you for sharing your condo with us! This place has everything you need and more. The view is spectacular with the beach across the street. The location is great with a short walk to the village and even with the public beach so close, the area is very quiet. John in the office was wonderful and had many suggestions for activities in the area like sunset cruises and kayaking. We highly recommend this condo plus working with Brenda made planning easy. We miss beautiful Siesta Key and hope to return again soon. Melissa & Tim

Brenda Daniel was excellent to work with, especially, since we booked our vacation at the last minute. She was prompt in her responses and let us know we could call her at any time if need be. When we arrrived we were greeted by cookies left on the kitchen counter with a greeting which was very welcoming. The condo was clean, quiet and the view was beautiful. I loved the beach across the street...the water felt like bathwater and was so clear. The decor was my taste and we didn't need for anything. I would love to come and stay at their property again.

This condo is everything you said it was and more! We couldn't have been more pleased with how beautifully it was decorated, how clean and bright it was, how well equipped it was (including a crock pot - which we used), how wonderful you people were to work with, and how close and AMAZING the beach was. We loved our stay there and are trying to figure out how we can come again really soon! Thank you for everything. We had a perfect week.

Brenda thanks so much for sharing your lovely condo the first thing my husband said was this condo is you ,the lady that owns it is just like you she thinks of everything! We did not have the best weather so we spent more time in the condo but what can you do we are now buried in snow so maybe walking on the beach in the rain wasn’t so bad. Once again Thank you we also loved that beach the sand was so white. I must tell you I have never been in a more equipped condo so the answer is no you have done everything possible to make sure of having a good time thanks again.

PERFECT

thanh (San Francisco)
Review submitted: September 13, 2009   Date of arrival: September 7, 2009

This place FAR exceeded our expectations. I dare say, it is perfect, and not just because of the GORGEOUS view from the lanai. I felt like I was sitting right AT the beach. There is a road between the condo and the beach, but that is the ONLY thing between the condo and the beach (unlike some other areas further down the key), and there is a crosswalk right next to the condo, so the beach is ridiculously easy to get to. As for the specific condo unit (212), I cannot put into words how much I love how the unit is decorated. It is like something you'd see in a "Coastal Living" magazine. It is very comfortable, relaxing, and spacious. It was so nice to have conveniences like a little cooler, beach umbrella, and beach toys for the beach. The kitchen is very well-stocked and I cooked many delicious meals there. The condo itself is easy on the eyes from the exterior (it's a nice peach/pink color), and the area surrounding the condo is wonderful - there is the beach just steps away, of course, but there is also a very nice neighborhood of interesting and lovely homes nearby (and, I'm not talking about those big beach houses right on Beach Rd..though they're surely nice as well). Top it all off, I got a chance to meet a couple of the owners of a couple of different units in the same condo; they were super-friendly. All in all, one of the best vacations I've ever had. I hope I can come back soon...

This was a perfect place. The condo is gorgeous,airy, and so well cared for. It has everything you need. The View is gorgeous and the Owner is so friendly and nice. She will answer any questions you have. The view of the beach is even closer then I thought. The whole area is beautiful. Go to Ophelia's on the Bay and ask for Michael to be your server. Also, you must go to Selva Grill on Main Street and have the Whole Snapper. Siesta Village is fun and casual. Great for couple's and families with kids.

Excellent Beachfront Condo

Intriguing (Atlanta, GA 30005)
Review submitted: July 4, 2008   Date of arrival: June 21, 2008

This condo far and away exceeded our expectation. The condo is right across the street from the gorgeous Siesta Key Beach. Usually there was a wedding on the beach most nights and it was great to watch the activities from the Lanai window. We also got up early every morning and went for a leisurely walk on the beach. The condo is decorated and furnished to perfection. It was clean, well maintained and had every possible amenity available.
The property manager and owner were extremely helpful and friendly. The whole experience was fabuluous!
