The location of the property to the beach is awesome— super short walk (1/2 block) and you are on the beach. Downside, giant hotel blocking any ocean view from property (understand this can’t be changed). Property is located a few miles away from all restaurants/shops, but there are several free transportation options on the key.
The condo was actually a little bigger than I thought would be, which was a nice surprise, as there are 6 people in my family (we all fit and never felt on top of one another). Also, plenty of beach chairs/umbrellas to use. When choosing your unit, if you like sitting on a deck or utilizing outdoor space - pay attention because not all units have a private/shared deck area. This one has a walkway that wraps the front of the building. My only suggestion to management would be to provide a little bit more dish soap/dishwasher soap and laundry detergent beyond the 1 trial size. Also, all of the dishes were glass - no plastic. It would be nice to have some Tupperware options so you can store leftovers or take food to the beach. We enjoyed our stay and loved our time on Siesta Key.
