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.

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.

Sea Shell Condo's are located on Crescent Beach, Siesta Key. This is probably the perfect place for a wedding as well. Prices are on the high end, figure about $200 per night + tax. Beach front view will run you $200 - $300 per night + tax - http://www.seashellcondos.com/rates/ I guess it comes down to your standards and how much you want to spend. These look worth the price to me for sure! Great for 4 people. They have a nice pool too! The nice thing is the location, right across the street from Captain Curt's. Also Stickney Pointe Rd is almost right across the street. For those staying during holiday weekends like July 4th, you won't to wait in that Siesta Key Beach traffic.

If I can give this sh*thole negative stars I would. We stayed in the Buttonwood Cottage for a…read morebachelorette party and our experience was literally awful. 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.

My Mom, a rather large woman said she thinks she could live in ond of those houses and for homeless and especially for the homdless vets, I believe it would solve so many issues of getting them off the streets, offering safe environments and something tangible they can call their own. Wish we had many more small home sites. Living in Florida I get hurricanes are a big oroblem so perhaps much further away from water and opened areas would afford the well needed fit!

One of our favorite features was the two heated pools, including an adults-only pool. Even when the weather was a little cooler, the water was warm and comfortable. The resort also has direct beach access, and complimentary beach chairs are included for guests. Umbrellas are available for just $15 each, which we thought was very reasonably priced. They also offer food and drinks at the beach. The room rates are affordable for everything the resort offers, and the overall experience exceeded our expectations. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back. Highly recommend!

Check in was quick, they text you often to make sure everything works well even with housekeeping. Water pressure was excellent with 3 kinds of shower heads. Staff were friendly and beach umbrellas only rent for $15. Tiki bar drinks and food were excellent, service was quick. Staff already starts working around 7 AM to make sure everything was ready for the pool and beach. We also had breakfast at the Draft restaurant, amazing food and service also. Because it's turtle season, there was no music or any light, I appreciated how they wanted to help preserve the sea life. Beach was clean with white sand and calm waves. I would say the sand was better at Clearwater beach, but still a beautiful beach to stay. I could definitely come back to this resort.
