With my wonderful wife and I owning our own businesses your wonderful beach home was a perfect place for R&R. We rented bikes for the week and took them all over the key. Riding our bikes to the Village, all the beaches and as far as the Bee Ridge Bridge park we enjoyed every moment of our vacation. Your location was perfect and the views from the bedroom and the sun room were just what the doctor ordered. We watched the birds in the morning working the surf and were blessed with the awesome sunsets God created for our enjoyment right from your door. The inside bay was beautiful and plentiful of fish and down the road we shared the docks with herons, egrets and some other feathered creatures and excited about seeing the 2 Manatees that were feeding in the area. In closing your home is beautiful and your location was perfect.
The condo tastefully decorated, had all the amenities. The location was great, away from the crowds only if you wanted to be. It’s a great place if kayaking, bike riding, running, walking, surfing both kite and regular, shelling, beaching, relaxing etc. It was our first time to Siesta Key and we'll be back and be giving Tory a call when we bring the family.

Owners response:
It sounds as if you combined both R&R and exercise while riding bikes seeing all our area has to offer. I too love watching the wildlife from the lanai and spotting 2 manatees was an extra added bonus.
There are many things close by to do, it's my guests' choice to be as busy as they like or let the world go by while soaking up the sun looking for sea shells or maybe reading a new book.
I look forward to you bringing your family for a visit!
Kind regards,
Tory

Another Relaxing Week on Turtle Beach

My husband and I travel to Sarasota frequently, so we were very pleased to have discovered Tory's condo on Siesta Key. We will never stay anywhere else! Another reviewer mentioned "all you need to bring is a swimsuit and a smile." This sums it up the best. The condo itself is very clean, well decorated and cozy. Our favorite room was the Lanai with its beautiful view of the Gulf. It is one of the first things you see as you enter the condo and it is breath taking! I am not sure there is anywhere else you could stay on Siesta and be so close to the beach...it is literally just steps from the back door. Amenities are too many to mention. Tory has seen to it that you have everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. We also enjoyed the on-site pool. It is the perfect temperature and always sparkling clean, as are the condo grounds as well. Thank you, Tory, for another wonderful week and we hope to see you again in November!!!!

My family was in the area for a wedding so we picked this condo out and thought from the pics that this was the place we were looking for.. When we arrived I was just amazed to see that it was even better in person, the condo was perfect and very clean.. There is a view from every room and the beach is just steps away.. Everything that we needed was in the unit so I was able to make nice dinners and really feel at home.. My husband and I take road trips every year and have been numerous places but this will be the place that we come back to year after year.. Thanks so much ..

A wonderful place to get away & play! The condo was clean, cozy & felt like home the minute we walked in the door.
Anything you need for the beach or indoor fun was on site. Bring your swimming suit & a smile ...you'll be all set!
We enjoyed dinner at the "Turtle Pub" just minutes away (we walked!) delicious food & good service.
We went to "The Village" to browse the shops & try out the "Blues Ques" bar & grill Yummy & great ragae music!
Beautiful sunsets every night....relaxing lazy days... I'm ready to go back!

We love Siesta Key! We stayed at The Fisherman's Cove for the 2nd time a few weeks ago. It was another amazing week in Sarasota! We enjoyed relaxing, walking on the beach, watching the sunsets, and swimming in the beautiful waves on Turtle Beach.
The weather couldn't have been better for us. Hardly a cloud in the sky for 7 straight days!
The condo is very comfortable and very accommodating for our group of 5. The location is perfect to step out onto the ocean, play shuffle board or to take a dip in the pool. My daughters love it so much they can't wait to return to the same condo and beach next year. It's a perfect paradise for us to get-away! Thanks for your hospitality!

We have been visiting Siesta Key for the past 20 years, but this was our first stay at the condo. My husband and I were wanting to be right on the beach and that's where we were. Could not have been any closer. The property is just as described and was actually much nicer than we had anticipated. The condo was clean, very cutely decorated and the amenities provided were all we needed for a perfect beach getaway. We spent alot of time just soaking up the sun and searching for sea shells. The gulf was a little rougher than we had ever seen for a couple of days during our stay, but the unique shells it rendered was a bonus. We were lucky to see a manatee just a few feet from the shore and dolphins as well. We enjoyed (as always) Capt. Curts and highly recommend their clam chowder...it really is THE BEST! We also spent alot of time eating oysters at Siesta Key Oyster Bar...yummy...and the Friday afternoon entertainment (Swamp Donkeys) was alot of fun! We also spent alot of time at the Cove's pool. Very clean and just the right temperature. We had hoped to rent a boat, but again, the water was very choppy so we will save that for next time. The boat docks in the front make it very simple to keep your boat right outside your front door. We look forward to our next trip to Siesta and Fisherman's Cove. A special thank you to Tory!!!

I just want to say "Thank You" for allowing us to use the condo. We had a great time, the accommodations were great, and the weather couldn't have been any nicer! We were able to see the drummers on Sunday, which was an experience I would recommend to anyone! The sand on the beach was incredible, that my daughter literally took a liter full to show her friends at home. We did the Disney adventure one day, the drive wasn't bad, but on the way home we were all exhausted. I'm lucky because Andy enjoys driving, and had no problem driving! Olaf's, and Capt. Curt's ice cream became a daily ritual, and my daughter also loved the mini-donuts, and wants to see if she can replicate them at home (good-luck!). Well now we are back to work, doing the daily routine, but we took lots of pictures to remember our stay, and hopefully we can make it an annual trip!! (at least that's what I'm wishing!!)

This Condo Is The Closest To The Gulf You'll Find!

Four best girlfriends from Northern NJ were very fortunate to enjoy a week in Tory and Kirk's wonderful condo. Our first floor unit at Fisherman's Cove enabled us to just walk out the door, onto the fabulous Gulf of Mexico beach. The condo was spacious, comfortable, clean and nicely decorated. It felt like home as soon as we settled in. We couldn't have asked for more.
It is located at the south end of Siesta Key offering lots of privacy. We were able to take long walks down the beach without seeing another sole for long periods of time. It is close enough to everything you need…..great restaurants, shopping, etc.
We also spent quite a bit of time farther north on the famous Siesta Key Beach. It truly is "The # 1 Beach in the US." You must experience it’s powdery white sand and calm turquoise waters.
There's lots to do in the area, or you could just relax and enjoy the beach.
We are truly grateful for Tory and Kirk’s sharing their great beach home with us.

This property has everything I need for a beach vacation: palm trees, sunsets, gorgeous views, herons and manatees too! The unit is very nicely decorated and well equipped.
Turtle Beach is a perfect location because it is close enough to restaurants and shopping, but far from crowds.
We chartered a boat for the day and the captain came and picked us up at our own dock!

This was our third year at this lovely condo. It was amazingly clean, well-equipped, and has the most gorgeous view in Siesta Key. It is off the beaten-path, quiet and very spacious. It is also kid-friendly. Siesta Key is a paradise, and this lovely place completes the picture.
We would highly recommend this property, the owners are gracious and great to work with!!

The condo we rent is on the ground floor and the rear door opens not 5 steps from the beach. The condo is clean, comfortable, homely, well appointed and has all amenities including an excellent lanai overlooking the beach and the ocean.
The fishing off the beach is generally very good.
There is no main road running past the complex so it is virtually free from traffic noise - only other guests coming and going.
Although adjacent to Turtle public beach it never gets rowdy or crowded as people tend to head for the more popular Crescent beach 4 miles away. The peace and quiet suits us just fine.
There are excellent restaurants and a pub within easy walking distance which means a good time can be had by all on a night out - no driving worries.
Tory, the owner, has always been extremely friendly and welcoming and has always tried, and up to now been able, to accommodate any requests we may have.
We have stayed in these apartments every August since 2006 and 2011 will be no different. We have no desire to look elsewhere as we consider we have found our perfect vacation spot.

We have been renting from Tory and Kirk for the past 9 years. We've really enjoyed our time in one of their Fisherman Cove Condos and have made many good memories which keeps us coming back. Easy access to the beach is what caused us to fall in love with their condo. During our stays, we have fished, kayaked, and spent time cruising around Sarasota Bay. Of course, our favorite time is spent watching the beautiful sunsets. We dine in several nights during our stay, but also enjoy the many great restaurants no more than 5 miles away. You also have several just around the corner or within walking distance.

What a great place to stay if you want to walk out your door onto the beach and into the Gulf of Mexico. I've been spending a week year for the past 5 years and just love it.
The view from the glass enclosed lanai and master bedroom are just breathtaking. From the smaller bedroom and kitchen you can see the inlet and boat dock. If you're lucky, you just might see a Manatee taking an mid-morning swim up the inlet or dolphins leaping off shore.
This place is truly a piece of paradise to me.

Our family recently rented the condo and we can't say enough about it! What an awesome location...walk out the front door and your on the Intra-coastal waterway, out the back door right onto the beach. We have stayed down the beach towards town before, but never again. What a difference it is on Turtle Beach. Same great sand and water, but no crowds.
The condo was super clean and worked well for our family. Can't wait to come back. Soon!!!

We stayed at this beautiful condo for Memorial Day 2010. We have already booked for 2011 and are even bringing family to stay in one of the other condos!
It is unreal how beautiful the views are! Having 2 small children, it was great being able to go play, then run back into the condo for whatever need we had!
The condo was very clean and well maintained. We had no problems at all. But all of our questions and concerns as we booked and got settled in were answered very quickly and courteously.
Thank you so much for your wonderful hospitality and we are looking forward to many vacations in this beautiful condo!
