Gorgeous & very deep beach access, clean & well-maintained property. Close to many great dining options from breakfast to late-night dinner, as well as kayak tours, bike rentals, etc. Shelling was amazing, to me.
The unit itself was nicely decorated & equipped with most of what we needed, even though it is an older property. (I'm used to hotels that provide Kleenex & hair dryers.) There were plenty of bath towels as well as beach towels to use, and beach chairs in the closet, which we didn't use. The washer/dryer were directly across from our unit & easy enough to download the app to use.
The tower was minimally occupied in the 2nd week of
December, so parking was convenient. The hot tub was awesome, as was one of the heated swimming pools right beside it. The weather was rather windy & chilly during our stay, so we chose to drive to the hot tub each night. It is located across the street from the tower where we stayed & would have been a miserable walk back in the cold wind while wet, a minor inconvenience.
Our host was very responsive. We arrived early & he opened the unit remotely so we could go in. (Thank you for that!)
All in all, I would choose to stay again. Being able to walk out of the tower onto powdery white sand was the best!! A great first visit to Siesta Key!
