We've stayed at Tivoli in the past , and just finished a 2 week stay, to give us some long-awaited…read morerelief from a mid-Western winter. This place always does a great job, there's a big swimming pool with a broad, super-clean deck that always had lounges for everyone that wanted to take in the sun, sleep or get deep into the novel you brought on vacation. Across Beach Road is a private access to the famed Siesta Beach allowing quick access for walkers,shellers, or just carry the provided beach chair down and just sit to watch the world go by from a uniquely stress-free vantage point. The units are tasteful,and we've found can comfortably bivouac 6 grownups ( as long as they behave like grownups). Our unit had a kitchen completely equipped to prepare a Thanksgiving feast, but our culinary requirements were only what's needed for a few breakfasts, and prepping food for the barbecue out back. That BBQ area is really nice, and sometimes becomes an impromptu gathering area for guests/residents to finish the day, and converse and confer over the grills with a couple of beers . The top advantage to me, is the broad open air balcony, that begs one to sit and watch the beach, the road, and the gulf while having coffee, or watching the sunset ( a SK tradition ) before starting the evening's activities. A few of the other advantages of Tivoli are its proximity to Siesta Village , a flat half mile walk, and only a couple hundred yards to the public beach. The grounds are lovely, always immaculate, and the place has an on-site manager. This year we met Wesley, new to this manager post, but a seasoned professional of the trade, and were so impressed with how well he could navigate us through any issue when we required help. He's been a solid addition to the entire Tivoli experience. We booked the same weeks for next year on checkout, and already looking forward to another great getaway.

We have been renting annually from Crescent Arms for 17 years (2024 excluded because of the…read morehurricane.) We know our condo owner personally who is from our area, so we get a discounted rate because of our long-term business and reliability. The condo is in good repair and we have never had a complaint about it. The building it is in, however, is another story. It dates from 1968, and there is only one elevator for 35 units, 30 of which are above the first floor. The elevator is old and dilapidated and needed to have been replaced years ago. It has broken 3 different times in our stays there, and since we are on an upper floor, it is a major inconvenience when that happens. This year during our stay, it was inoperative for THREE AND A HALF DAYS. Both my wife and I have mobility issues and she cannot use the stairs, so she was essentially confined in the condo for almost 4 days. This is inexcusable. Most maintenance issues (door locks, leaky water heaters, etc.) are handled fairly promptly, but the elevator is a glaring exception. The disingenuous office staff have a cavalier, lackadaisical attitude about it and claim that they have been "talking about" replacing the elevator for years. Yadi yada yada. Yeah, "talking about it" while sitting on their ass and doing nothing. They keep putting a Band-Aid on a problem that requires major surgery.There is a large atrium in the center of the building that goes all the way up to the roof, so there is no excuse why a second elevator could not be added. So anyone pondering to rent here above the first floor, especially those with mobility problems should consider what they will do if the elevator breaks yet again. Getting any compensation for such a contingency will be like pulling teeth. Other than the elevator, CA is a convenient place to stay right on the beach. The covered parking is OK-- you are assigned to a spot labelled with your unit number, and there are extra spots for visitors. The "lottery" with beach chairs and lounges starts every morning at 7:30 and they give you a tag to put on your chairs/lounges. There aren't supposed to be any chairs or lounges in front of the front row (set up by the umbrella people, a separate private company) There are prominent signs posted stating all the rules, but good luck getting the front desk staff to enforce any violations (frequent.) There are restaurants within walking distance or a short drive away. Drivers--be sure to watch both ways for joggers and bicyclists on the sidewalk when you exit the property.

The proximity to Crescent Beach was the main reason Casa Blanca caught our eye. But it turned out to be so much more than that! The villa was so clean and spacious. The full kitchen and living room were perfect for cooking and relaxing. The only things I would like to mention is that they do not swap out towels for you, they only include a starter pack of toiletries including toilet paper and check out is at 10:00am. None of these things were deal breakers for us. But I think for the price you are paying an 11:00am checkout should be standard and toilet paper and towel swapping are not luxuries especially if you are staying for more than two nights. The staff is awesome though, very helpful and responsive. I would recommend this place to all my family and friends.
