Needs Updating

Location for this rental is great. Easy walk to the beach and village. Appliances and furniture outdated and need refreshing. Ice maker didn't work when we arrived, was fixed two days later. Outdoor grill didn't work first time we attempted to use it and was serviced the next day. Mater bedroom has no privacy WC plus shower stall had mildew buildup in corners. Carpeting throughout the condo is clean but has permanent stains and should be replaced. Be prepared to wake up each morning to the backup "beeps' of the local garbage trucks at exactly 7am.

Perfect place to stay for a fantastic family vaca

This was our second trip to Siesta Key and second time staying in the three bedroom seaside villas. We are already planning our return trip this year. The accommodations are very spacious and well maintained. Perfect for staying with little ones who go to bed earlier than we do. Everything you could need for the stay and the beach is provided. The location couldn't be better. Morning walks over to the town's coffee shop, short trip over to cresent beach for the day, short walk to any of the town's resturants for dinner or cook out by the pool and a short walk to the beach access to watch the sunset with ice cream at Olaf's after. What more could you ask for?

Love it, can't wait to go back.

Great Family Time

We arrived at Siesta Key in December to spend quality time with our three grown children. The unit was fabulous! We had everything we needed to relax and feel at home. We especially enjoyed the large flat screen TV and the gourmet kitchen! Thank you for all the extra little efforts to make the place feel like home (books, games, movies, spices, storage containers, etc). So often we have had to purchase the extra's when we check into a unit.

Our trip to Siesta Key was very bittersweet for my family. After a long battle with cancer we knew time on this earth for my wife would be short. She loved me and our young children very much, but she also loved Siesta Key. What a wonderful place it is. In many ways it is like a small piece of heaven on earth. We have been regulars of Siesta Key and SunnySide Properties for many years. We have stayed in the 3 bedroom units a couple of times and always enjoyed ourselves. This time my wife was too sick, so we decided to stay in the lower 1 bedroom unit. I was amazed how well we all fit into that unit, and even with her medical equipment we did not feel cramped. It was also very nice to be so close to the pool area in the back. We all spent a large portion of our time there, and met some great people in the process. Thank you SunnySide Properties for working so hard to make this a trip one that we will always remember!

Best Beach in the USA!!!

I took my family to Siesta Key this past summer and stayed at SeaSide Villas. I was amazed how clean and updated our unit was, and even more happy that the beach and shops were so close. I think we only used our rental car a couple of times, since there is such a good selection of food, drinks and shopping within a few blocks. I can't explain how awesome the beach is. It is as white as snow, feels like flour, and never gets hot. After a long day at the beach it was so nice to hang out by our pool. It was larger than I thought it would be, and we cooked out on the grill several times. I look forward to making this an annual trip for sure!

Sunsets, Sunshine & SeaSide Villas

"This was not the first time nor will it be the last time we spend our vacation in one of the SeaSide Villa condos in Siesta Key. The week we spent in August 2010 was our last "free" week before school started and it was the perfect way to end the summer.

SeaSide Villa's location is perfect for families with kids of all ages - within walking distance of the village for fabulous restaurants and fun shopping, and within easy walking distance of one of the most pristine beaches in the world. SeaSide Villa owners provide wagons to load your beach supplies and it's a huge plus not to have to find parking.

The condos are well equiped, much better than many we have experienced, with many extras like games, videos, high chairs, etc. etc. Even spices were provided! We enjoyed the community pool in the back - very restful, peaceful setting in which to relax after a day on the beach.

Sunsets on the beach, lazy days of walking, swimming & sandcastle building will be memories to cherish during our crazy, hectic school schedule. We're just so glad to have found Siesta Key, and to have experienced SeaSide Villa condos. We will absolutely be back!"

Convenient to Everything

Review submitted: January 10, 2011   Date of arrival: October 16, 2010

We stayed at this upscale townhouse for a week and rented both the upstairs three bedroom unit as well as the one bedroom garden apartment. The location is close to all the shops in the village as well as a short walk to the beach. The units have been updated and the amenities were great. When we needed help with anything we called Gregg (the property manager) and he was always available. The pool area is shared with all four units in the building but we rarely saw anyone else using it.

Very satisfied

Review submitted: January 9, 2011   Date of arrival: November 20, 2010

We stayed in the one-bedroom garden apartment which is right by the pool. The unit had just been renovated and we loved the new flat panel TV's, XBox and kitchen. We found lots of extras not normally included in vacation rentals like beach wagons, access to free laundry, and more. The location is just perfect as its a short walk to tons of shops and restaurants, grocery store, the beach, bars and so on. We found it everything that was advertised and were very satisfied with our stay. We would recommend it to anyone.

We stayed in the one bedroom garden apartment. It had just been renovated and we really enjoyed it. New flat panel TV's, XBox, furniture and kitchen were very impressive. The bedroom opens to the pool and the property is a short walk from everything. We found the unit just as advertised and would recommend it to others.

What a great rental! This place was just as advertised. They've thought of everything. The location - walking distance to Siesta Village and the beach - is outstanding. The extra touches like beach wagons, coolers, free WIFI and beach towels were great. We've been coming to Siesta Key for years and this is the best place we've ever stayed. We'll definitely be back.

The Living room furniture had seen its better days. We stayed in the 1BR on ground floor there must have been 10 people in the 3BR unit above us that never ever slep.You had to sleep in the day time at the beach was quieter,and no need to go to the gym just pull your wagon to the beach.After three days of the neighbors naked kid at the beach and the property urinating everywhere and once he deficated in the landsscape while we where at the pool,that got real old too.
