"Place was great. It was clean. Amenities was nice prime location, walking distance to the beach walking distance to all the shops and restaurants. Only problem is once the front office is closed. You can’t get anything, unfortunately I didn’t realize we didn’t have bath towels so 10 o’clock calling them no response nothing. So make sure you check everything before the front office closes."

Beautiful,Cozy 3Bed/2 Siesta Key home on Ocean blvd, close to village, beaches,

10/10 Excellent

"Such a cute and cozy place on Siesta Key! The 3-bedroom home had 5 beds and 2 full bathrooms, so there was plenty of space for everyone. It was nicely put together, located in a quiet area, and had lots of room for parking. We also loved being only about a mile from the Siesta Key Village area!The host was very responsive, and both check-in and check-out were quick and easy. We had absolutely no issues during our stay. We also appreciated the little extras provided, like soaps and toothpaste.A few coffee pods for the Keurig and some basic kitchen items like a toaster, cooking oil, or a few spices would be nice additions, but those are definitely “nice to haves” and didn't take away from our stay.Overall, a comfortable, convenient, and enjoyable place to stay. We would absolutely stay here again!"

Palm Paradise - Pet Friendly Home on Siesta Key w/ Large Heated Private Pool & Outdoor Area!

10/10 Excellent

"This house is a lively beach house with wooden floors and a wooden outdoor patio with chairs. My family and I loved how close we were to everything, st Armand’s circle, siesta key beach, a Publix is 6 minutes away. And so many restaurants to choose from! I am happy to have stayed there. The house was as described in the listing, the only thing was that it smelled like dusty furniture for a couple days and the house made noises at night when we were trying to sleep."
