Siesta Key and Siesta Sands On The Beach Hit all the marks for me. Great Beach, excellent clean Motel, & great Food & cocktails nearby. A Very short walk away from the Motel. The Motel is Literally On the beach & a short walk to the village where all the action is. I enjoyed a Clean spotless room with excellent hospitality. Easy check in & check out. It was a beautiful stay. The softest Beach sand I ever walked on. White powder! For that you have to come visit. For all future Siesta Key visits , Siesta Sands on the Beach will be my home base. It's was that great! Check them out!

Nothing else needed. Park right at your door & walk in to a first or second floor unit. Only 16 units total, all with direct beach view & access. You can view the individual condo units online and chose the one you want. Flexibility to rent a few nights or a week. We rented unit 71 for 3 nights. We preferred 1st floor as you have a small patio on the front and back. #71 is one bedroom but has sofa pull-out bed if desired. The owner has it fully engineered with 3 ceiling fans, USB ports, storage everywhere, kitchen with all dish-ware, 2 TV's, plus all the little items you may have forgotten to bring. Well thought out for many little conveniences. Bonus, it is only a 7 minute walk to the village where there are many shops, restaurants, etc., but little parking available day or night. We walked to the Summer House and the Cottage and recommend both.

We rented unit 5 for our spring break stay March 26-April 2 2022. It looks like they have updated…read morethe units and that part is nice and the price was too good to be true for being close to the village and beach. Couches/ chairs were old and gross and needed sheets on them. Location is a 5 star but accommodations w roaches isn't even a 1 star. I let the owner Paul know as soon as we saw the roaches we had a problem. We counted over 20 and they were out day or night so it was not just a little problem. I own several rentals myself so I'm pretty understanding but it was an infestation. After complaining a couple days he finally came in to see and we showed him where they were coming in the bathroom and kitchen. They were caught all over our tooth brushes and even after he filled the open holes in the wall they still got in. He basically said it was in our unit the the one above... I have never ever left a bad review but to this day we have not received our deposit back and I just want people who are looking for a nice place close to the village to be aware.

My boyfriend and I enjoyed a lovely weekend get-away at The Siesta Sunset Royale. Our room was…read moresuper clean with a fun beachy vibe. Down stairs was a pool, hot tub, and grill. So next time, we will definitely bring some food to grill ( also we had a kitchen in our room, so we could have cooked or prepped some food) The beach is just across the street. We woke up early to watch the sun rise. When walked around the village which is fun of fun bars and restaurants. We really enjoyed the fun and relaxing atmosphere. We are looking forward to the next time. :)

Then on the 4th night of our stay we got in late and encountered cockroach in the toilet. When we looked around the bathroom we saw several more. They were small but there we several visible. We didn't sleep well at all but had to stay in the room. When we got u a couple hours later we saw a large cockroach just above the toilet paper holder on the side of the sink vanity. We called Vacasa right then and explained the situation and sent the representative pictures to substantiate our issues. He was helpful and told us the local property manager would be contacting us. We packed our belongings as quickly as possible and reserved a hotel room in Sarasota. Our last full day of vacation was a bust. The local agent could not be reached for several hours. When she did call around 11:30 am she told us she saw no evidence of cockroaches she told us that the picture of the large cockroach in the bathroom didn't look like anywhere in the unit. We told her the location of the other cockroaches and she continued to tell us she could find none at all. She told us the room is rented continuously and they never experienced cockroaches prior to this. She continued to state that she could find none. We felt as if she implied we were lying. She didn't use the word lie or liar but it felt implied. We felt very insulted. We have been visiting Siesta Key the same week for several years and we always stayed at the same place. This time we tried a new place and now we regret that we didn't stay where we had in the past. we had an a legitimate issue and it was handled poorly by the local Vacasa property agent. She is crediting us for the last day but she still insulted us by the implication that we were lying. We won't use Vacasa again. We feel bad for the next guests to experience the cockroaches because it is only a matter of time before someone else sees the cockroaches as well. We stayed in cottage 4.

Most recently we stayed in August for our family vacation and rented all 4 units. What a wonderful time! Located a stones throw away from the semi private beach & within walking distance to anything and everything you need in the village. You absolutely cannot beat the location! Especially with children. Its so easy taking them to and from the beach especially when a bathroom break is needed or something forgotten. The units are all decorated with a beachy vibe, well maintained and clean. The pool, grilling area, outdoor shower and laundry is great,and management is very attentive and accomodating.

She argued with me about how many days I "HAD" to book, she argued with me about whether November was a low season or high season, she informed me that she doesn't even work for the condos...i guess she volunteers. And this was after leaving several voice mails and an email. I could tell by her voice when she did call me back that she was frustrated. Informed me in a hasty manner that the offices were closed until May '25 and that the property is in the process of being sold. Which to my offense...I had no idea! I just wanted to change my reservation. Then she hung up on me. When I responded via text message she told me she will not deal with rude people and that she would cancel my reservation. I guess I'm rude because I called out her nasty attitude. She refused to give me the owners name. I guess this place does not need our business which is sad.

On our second night there, a roach the size of a bunny rabbit was found crawling on the wall in the brides bedroom. We were immediately disgusted. Later that night, an additional four roaches were found. One in the kitchen, which was killed. One in the living room, which was also killed under magazines. And two under the bed in the brides bedroom, one alive and one dead. We immediately got in touch with the property manager Misty, but due to the late hours, we did not hear back until the next morning. Misty was informed of the disgusting situation and advised us that this same cottage has had a roach problem in the past. She told us she would contact the owner who was currently traveling, and in order for an exterminator to come spray, the cottage had to be emptied. We informed Misty we will be out all day on a boat and provided her with numerous phone numbers for her to contact with an update. She never called or followed up with anyone. We also told her that we would like to be moved, or quite honestly just leave and stay at a hotel. That night, a sixth roach was found. That was honestly the breaking point. Hotels were booked and ubers were called and we left there by 11:30 PM. We told Misty what was going on and wanted to come to an agreement of some sort of refund. Instead of responding to our calls and emails, they decided to charge us a $75 fee for "trashing" the cottage. We left in a hurry, and unopened food items were left behind. However, anything that was opened was disposed of and all the decorations were taken down. We were refunded the $75 and one nights stay, which quite honestly is not acceptable. The cottage was not livable. Not only were there 6 roaches, there were flies EVERYWHERE. Being married to an exterminator, I can honestly say that this cottage has a huge issue that is not being properly taken care of. We found multiple holes under the bed that lead to outside which is clearly where some of the roaches are coming from. Not only did we barely get responses from Misty, the owner, or booking.com, Misty also accused us of lying, putting rubber roaches all over the house, and disconnecting the WiFi. We had no idea the cottage even had WiFi and Misty admitted to not checking the cottage after the cleaning service left. Do not stay here. This place is disgusting and has a serious moisture problem.

I had a previous property rented already but they called and cancelled it on me. Which of course I had no choice but to find another property on my own. The property had many issues. The number one issue was it wasn't safe. Not for children! The windows and doors did not lock! We were staying on the top floor of the building. It was dirty, loud, the master bed was broke, the building itself was old and disgusting. There is an entire list of issues but the unprofessional office staff could careless. I emailed them the day we left early and they didn't even email me back but lied and said they did. They don't email you back or call you back. We were promised a phone call back from the owner and that didn't happen either. The office staff is disrespectful. Take it from me, DO NOT RENT FROM THEM! The don't care about you! They only care about money!!

There were a few dead bugs in some of the bowls in the kitchen and one of the shelves in the refrigerator was broken and held together with duck tape which finally gave out. We could not find a parking space today. We called management in the beginning of our vacation and they did not respond. On the positive the pool is clean and wonderful and easy access to the beach is great.
